A Moment in TimeYou won't tell them that you had loved me.A Moment in Time in Free Verse More Like This
You will say that I was a friend.
You won't tell them of the strength you saw in me,
when I struggled to see it myself.
Eventually, as enough time passes,
You'll forget these things yourself.
The truths you told me will become lies,
as I am forgotten,
a moment in time.
The sound of my voice will fade,
You'll forget the irritated tones that made you smile.
You'll forget what made me laugh.
The bitterness in me that you felt sorry for,
will never again trouble your mind.
As I am forgotten,
a moment in time.
You won't ask me how I am,
or why is it I believe in the unseen.
A frown will

But the sun came to light the shadow of your memory.
The wind came to carry the ghost of your voice to my ears.
For an instant you were here and my heart leapt to greet you.
I miss those moments, I long for the realness of them again.
But Time is a greedy thing and takes everything for itself.
Living or dead, one thing is certain,
we all become shadows in another person's life.
...if we're lucky.
We could get swallowed up and swept away to be forgotten instead.
A fate worse than being banished to oblivion,
at least someone would have cared enough to send us there.
I guess, the truth of it is,

how do we mark each passing day?
We love you more,
We appreciate you more,
We hold you in our hearts always,
As tightly as we can so you don’t slip too far away.
We have not forgotten this day,
We have not forgotten you.
My memories waver some days,
But eventually they come back.
As hard as I may seem today,
As cold and distant as one might see me,
My tears,
My sorrow,
My heartache,
They reverberate into the Earth.
You were proud of me,
I don’t know why.
You loved me,
I never questioned it.
I miss that,
Among other things,
But I always will,
that’s the gift from sorrow.

I remember you both as sparks of life,
Little jesters in your own right.
Thieves,
Pirates,

Knights,
Angels,
My little delights.
As time goes on,
As I live my days,
I’m amazed at how much I still miss you.
They said the pain would go away,
Maybe it will someday.
I love and miss you both so much,
There is nothing in this world that can take your place,
Nor fill the emptiness in me left in your wake.
The friendship that you gave me,
The love that you showed me,
It is forever swirling about my heart,
Tugging at my soul.
I still need you both you know.
You were my strength,

My soul paces inside of its cell,
Locked away again.
Twisting thoughts attack my mind,
I can hear it beg for peace.
Peace,
For some reason I have never known it.
Reality stabs at my dreams,
My hopes drown in the depths of oblivion.
Everything I thought I was,
Or hoped to be has gone,
Frightened away by the anger,
The truth.
It has never been my life.
I have no control,
No power.
I am not the fierce warrior
Or protector I see in my imagination.
I am nothing.
People slip away from me,
Family,
Friends,
Gone.
Slipping out of my hands,
Out of my reach.
I stand alone,
Confused.

To keep them safe.

I recorded your laughter in my mind,
I play it back from time to time.
I close my eyes and see your smile.
That…I will keep sacred for a while.
"Hi Pumpkin" I sometimes hear you say in the darkness,
In the quiet of my mind.
What happened to all our time?
To all our planning?
Where can I go to find you again?
To the ends of the earth?
I will go there if it meant you were there.
To see you again
To hug you like I used to.
I want so much to hug you,
To kiss you.
To tell you all the things I shoul

The wind returns my scattered memories as it gently passes by.
I see your face,
soft, warm and smiling.
I am a little girl again, safe in your arms.
I hear your laughter,
I hear your voice.
Still the wind floods me with our past,
the trips,
the excitement
Disney World, your mecca.
Too much pain now to look back
Too much saddness to be happy.
You gave me this life,
You brought me into this world.
Why now do you plan on leaving?
We need you, please stay
I scream in my head daily.
But you are slowly fading.
I'm trying to be brave mom.
I'm trying.
But inside I am struggling...

I’m uncomfortable today,
Everywhere I go,
There is no place to ease the soul,
But for now,
I am safe in my solitude.
DownfallDownfall in Free Verse More Like This
And in this dark harvest of season
My life has completely lost reason,
For which or against to decide.
All lost in a savage and endless, bleak tide
In sadness and in kindness
In light and in darkness.
In a boat made of hope
I shall sail to tomorrow,
In a winding hurricane
Made of treachery and sorrow.
There's a spear, endless, and colossal spear...
Piercing, slashing though my head.
Starting somewhere in heaven,
Ending somewhere in hell.
Fighting, burning, crying, crashing.
Are the armies within.
In my head they are all thrashing.
On the heaven's and hell's whim.
To be light or to be darkness.
A perpetual array.

Prologue
When the living depart; do you believe a heart lives on?
What if, when a soul dies, their heart must cling to a single being: their single most precious thing they leave behind?
What if the endless twilight of the afterlife cannot be faced alone; after the solemn bitterness of death? Surely a heart would grope in the fading light of thei

I am your beauty;
And your chaos.
You will face me when your days bleed to black,
You will plead to me when your light crumbles to ash.
Hearken, child, to the screech of the silence,
Praise, child, the mercy of your madness.
Time will crush you.
Age will shred you.
And tragedy will cast you to ruin.
I will be your perdition. Your solace. Your fever.
Death I am not.
Life I am not.
I exist as a shadow; nothing more.
Your grieving heart will lead you to me.
Never fear; my grip is secure.
Trembling; yet firm.

The miserable sun has already set for you.

The pinkish glow of it's one unbandaged eye lowered into a frown, and it spun back on itself, drifting a short distance to rest upon the shoulder of it's blue-skinned master, who was lounging haphazardly between two spiky turrets of an enormous drawbridge, which looked to be set on an island floating entirely on magenta air.

To the stillness of ashes and dust,
Our bitter union in the tides of Void,
Without pain, without thought, without lust.
Without pain, you say?
Then scarce know you of the dead.
For we seethe with the throb of loneliness,
As soulless sighs; our tears are shed.
Without thought, you say?
Then scarce feel you of the dead.
Whilst endless days condemn all to misery;
Memories of love are to black fires fed.
Without lust, you say?
Then scarce care you of the dead.
Our weeping hearts beat only with longing;
Though our passion in vile pools bled.
Only withered dreams thrive here;

The sun was just about to start setting, but it was otherwise a clear, sunny day, and a dappled light filtered through the thick canopy of leaves. He hears the sound of footsteps approaching, but they seemed, weird. They sounded too light to be his newest plaything, a beautiful mother of three who had rejected his rose earlier and he had been stalking for about a day, and now expected to show up at any minute.

All the facts pointed to it. Ever since they had found out the existence of this new slender they had been doing everything they could to track it, and she had been following their progress adamantly. It wasn't long before patterns had begun to form. Now it was only a matter of knowing what to look for, and its trail became obvious. This new slender obviously wasn't as secretive as the rest, and while this had made it easier to keep tabs on, this hadn't made them any more eager to try and make contact with it, because while they didn't know much about this new slender, they did have its name.

I'm not angry
Or in your face.
I'm just sad,
Feeling crazy
And a little misplaced.
I don't belong here.
Thoughts grow thicker.
Mind is racing,
Going nowhere.
Feeling sicker--
Sick of pacing.
Back and forth,
Where am I going?
Where's my heart at?
Tired of searching for true north.
Wishing, wondering, never knowing.
Walking blindly up to bat.
Is this my life?
I feel passed by.
Seeking foolish gain
In a knife.
Bleeding out, afraid to cry--
To feel alive through my pain.
Feeling drained.
It's all a scam.
Look what I've done.
I'm ashamed
Of who I am,
And what I've become.

And I can hardly keep placing one foot before the other.
You all left me far behind a long ago

To carry fresh water back to their home
That morning the waters were shining like silver:
The Children of Heaven were bathing alone.
They were so luring, so handsome and fair
With their bodies so fragile and their laughter like prayers.
The one who stepped forward was different somehow
His shoulders were wider, his arms seemed stronger,
Smiling mischievous, he took a deep bow.

To find the most treasured of all the creation,
The one who's most suited to become our mistress,
Chosen as wife for the Morning Star."

Were the daughters of men by the light of the moon.
Then the Children of Heaven fell into silence
As their strong hearts were stricken with awe
Alone he stepped forward with pride and desire
