That instance when you can take no more,
when you've had all you can stand.
Damn the blood that's on the floor
it's that moment lines are drawn in sand.
your knees are shaking, your breathing weak,
pulse racin, you face the foe.
Not one moment more, not one inch further.
with shaking voice you whisper "no"
The foe is strong, you can not hope to win,
aye, but neither can you lose.
to face him bloodied but unbowed,
or to slink away in shadows, choose.
each one who steps up to the foe,
his power weakens costing him dear,
for courage is not to be unafraid.
It's stepping forward despite the fear.
The beat of your heart thunders,
its rythm pulsing with every move.
the dance of life surrounds you,
but you have your own groove.
They try to bend you, change you.
fit you in their own mold.
they try to ply you with world's riches
try to buy your soul with gold.
But the beat won't let you,
won't give in to compromise,
you know what's important,
your spirit has it's own prize.
Stiff, unbending, that's you way,
your beliefs you will defend.
give no quarter, don't give in
Unyielding, unbowed till the very end.
To those stranded in the darkness I give you a point to lead you out,
To those sinking in the bog I am the outstretched hand,
To the friendless and alone I am the warm encompassing hug,
To those who need a jumpstart, I am the loud marching band.
I falter, flutter, encounter a rough wind,
I can't back down can't let the darkness win
My wick once more bursts into light,
Ready to enter the fray, ready to fight
But sometimes, I fall, I falter,
my wick peters out, I fall to the gutter,
It is at that moment when all hope seems lost,
That the people around me shine the most.
The candle is passed, it's flames burning brighter
Casting out shadows,
Gone too soon like a twinkling of an eye
back to that special place in the sky
Gracing us with your presence even for a little while.
I only wish we got to see you smile.
My heart is heavy, scoured with pain,
Tears fall like bitter rain.
My miniscule joy has turned to grief
Our meeting sweet yet very brief.
Never in this life will i be able to hold your hand,
No special dreams fulfilled, no years to plan,
A moment to keep and then goodbye,
as with evanescent wings you fly.
Special child we shall meet again,
No matter how, no matter when,
I shall wait your return with baited breath
that day you escape the embrace of death
I was there the day love died
when the walls between them were built sky high
when their memories of good times began to fade
when no good deed or good will penetrated their blockade
That day vitriol spewed from their lips.
No secret smiles just hands on hips
just pointing fingers and raised voices
the chasm deepens with every bad choice
Gone was the warmth of days long past
the deed is done the die has been cast
there's no turning back from this rubicon
separate paths they will take from hereon.
who changed, was it him, was it she?
Who hid their true face till the other trusted fully?
the broken hearts will soonest mend
for now this story
I would have loved to feel your heartbeat as you lay sleeping.
I'd have smiled as you yawned just moments after feeding.
Gone is that bliss the day that i lost you.
your cradle is empty, my heart is too.
I would have watched you grow up and explore.
would've seen your eyes light up with fun and ardor.
ashes in my mouth, those dreams are instead
nothing left but questions and tears yet unshed.
I gaze at the sky at this now gloomy world.
My limbs grow weak, my grief it unfolds.
what need does heaven have for another angel?
an unanswered plea, the pain inside me swells.
I hug myself and cry with a voice gone hoarse
someday soon the grief will
In this cruel world gone bleak
where injustice reigns supreme
a few bright sparks gather, band together
in the shadows deep something gleams.
grieving souls lost in their private hells
fearful ones afraid of the black dog's bark.
miriad hands grasp refusing to let go,
small candle light that stand brave against the dark.
broken hearts with sorrows they can not bear,
secrets too dark, to reveal they wouldn't dare.
listening ears and understanding hearts,
no compensation, each one ready to do their part
each word of comfort, each unsung good deed
a family not of blood but a family indeed.
each kindness paid forward betters the human race
thi
I see the tears fall down your face
It breaks me that you miss me so
I want to hold you tight
only to have you flow through my grasp
I want to let you feel my warmth
my flesh has grown too cold for your comfort
I want to kiss your lips, taste your skin
but I can't even hold you any more
I can never rest while I'm away from you
being apart from you hurts too much,
I yearn for you with my unbeating heart.
My love endures even beyond the grave
I can only watch you from afar
wishing you would move on without me
wishing you would smile again, love again
only then will I know peace
To the light in my sky I thank you
for the warmth you bestowed upon me
for the smile that brightens up my day
for the things that make me feel complete
To my other half I thank you
for making this old world feel new
for filling up this void within my soul
for all this and more I thank you
To my guiding light I thank you
For lifting me from the shadows
for banishing the nightmares that plague me
all this and more you bestowed upon me, unworthy that I am
For my happiness I thank you
For the love you have given me I thank you
These days I will forever treasure and keep
as proof that someone thought the world of me
That instance when you can take no more,
when you've had all you can stand.

the puzzle piece that makes me complete

you are the dream that makes the nightmares go away
You are the moon to my tides,
the happily ever after to my fairytale,
you are my rose blooming in the winter,
the precious gem I never thought I'd find
You are the star that completes my constellation,
the warm hug during my darkest times,
you are the only balm my soul would ever need,
the treasure meant just for me
you are the yin to my yang,
you are the answer to my most burning question,
the candle that burns bright during the storm,

Sometimes life throws at you
Things that you will never succeed
Sometimes everything goes wrong
And you can't find a way out
Sometimes you feel like the only person
Standing on the edge of the world
Contemplating whether to jump or not
But then life brings you the smiles
The laughter and close friends
The alcohol and random decisions for road trips
It brings you nice weather
A hot jacuzzi
A painful sunburn
And no regrets
It's difficult when life is hard
And you're not quite sure when the dawn is going to break
When the rain will stop
And when the flowers will bloom
But life is life
And sometimes
It's bloody damn perfect
I never meant to be what i turned out to be.
An unintended display of alchemy.
A vision of hope, a face of rebellion.
Now I'm seen as the image of a hellion.
I was an unintended catalyst to a situation already on fire
A stir of a hope, they got me, gaining their desire.
Used and abused, but never informed.
Torn at the heart, beaten and forlorn.
Murder and death and death and destruction.
The face of rebellion is under construction.
I am a symbol of an uprising, the claim of my fame.
I am the girl of the fire, a face and a name.
Torrents of uproars, our citizens will pay.
I started the rebellion, I am a mockingjay.
Wherefore art thou o Lady Justice,
the impartial judge who wields the scales?
Where is your might granted from the heavens?
Gone, but for a few pieces of silver and gold.
Where is your truth, the honor in your name,
Stained and trodden in the mud, fodder for the midden
The pride of your judges paid in blood.
Who will we turn now for righteous vindication?
Who will take up the cause of the powerless?
Not you who are in the employ of the wealthy,
Turn a blind eye to the crimes of the mighty
as the downtrodden wallow in their tears.
Who will trust your imbalanced scales?
Only fools will seek justice in your courts,
For you have bet
