I walk quietly under the azure sky The white cotton clouds holding dreams of promise. Transforming with each passing whisper of time

I pause, mesmerized by the illusion, As the clouds darken, twisting into something sinister Foretelling of the maelstrom to come.

The sky fractures in grief, As the gods weep a river of sadness Obscuring dreams, flooded with regret

If only I had grasped the possibility of the past To create the hope of the future

I lay here in darkness alone in the night, Fear for my blanket, my eyes open wide.

Hush now there, don’t despair as you sleep. I’m here, right beside you, watching you breathe

I tighten my grip on the fear that surrounds me Where is the voice that whispers so loudly

Hush, now there, I’m here in the shadow. Give me your fears, as I lay down beside you.

My body is frozen. Why can’t I escape? The voice, it controls me, like a venomous snake.

Hush now there, I’m here right beside you, Controlling your mind and keeping you lied to.

I want to escape! To unveil the darkness, but the voice keeps me trapped, shy and voiceless.

Hush now there, go to sleep , just breathe I’m right here inside you, too quiet to see

I’m deafened by silence as the voice slips away My tortured soul quieted, for another day

The blade cuts deep, hard and fast A trail of destruction wrapped up in a dance. A story of scars, map my body, Skating on ice, for you, such a hobby. A twist and a turn, the blade cuts so deep Carving a path through my heart, starting to bleed. Red meets white, and the dance starts to slow. This love of ours, was nothing but a show

I wish I’d never let go As we danced in the moonlights eternal glow A song of lovers, or friends or foe The roles became twisted So long ago

I wish I had known how the dance would end Tumbling down, again and again The memory of steps burned into my heart A beautiful picture, of spiteful art

I wish I’d never let go that night As the sky turned pale, with morns first light Exposing the truth buried so deep My hand slipped from yours, the first spin of the fight

This echoing dance that spun through the night Nothing but words, dreams and spite I cling to the memories, A fruitless fight

I had to let go, my love please know

forgive me

I am meant to be alone

Love at first sight Not pausing for breath, As we danced through the night To tango with death

The gods playing chess Writing fate with the stars, The thrill, I confess Pulled at my heart

Souls intertwined In a play still unread, To walk through time That had already, been spent

Your hand slipped away As death took his dance. Whisking you from me The rhythm too fast

I fell too my knees And the fall never stopped
Deafened by silence Your footsteps now lost

I peer up to the Gods, Through rain stricken eyes Looking for peace, As they take, a roll of the dice

The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold; a place once so magical now hurt to behold

Slip sweetly to slumber Assured of yourself, Cocooned in your chamber Hidden from self

Sit in the soup Dissolving each day Nothing to remember Who you were yesterday

The days wearing on As your skin starts to change, A memory of crawling To a goal in the haze

Constantly searching To transform and fly Now swimming in trauma Waiting to dry

Feeling so cramped In this old, worn out skin Cracking and peeling What an ugly thing!

Spreading the wings Your dreamed up from your mind. Feeling so real As the breeze swirls on by

Flying so high Transformed before eyes At last! I am the butterfly

Do you see the infinite possibilities, Reflected in a beach of glass. An illusion of reality Washing away, like a mask.

Do you hear my call for silence Brought forth upon crashing waves, Bringing you to stillness In a mind that’s always crazed.

Do you pause upon the open sand Waiting to be consumed. All marks of history soon erased Time slipping through your hands.

Do you hear the lessons that I teach Roaring in your ears. Do you see that time is pointless here It simply feeds your fears!

Surrender to the waves that crash Carrying you to shore, Surrender to the stillness Deep on the ocean floor

Walk upon the bones of time Shifting beneath your feet, The lesson that you need to learn Is anything but sweet.

Walk the endless horizon, Heart beating to sunset clouds The hero resides inside of you Stop looking to the crowds

To see the face of I, Reflected through time. An echo of who I was A shadow of my mind

An anchor in the storm, Ripping open all that’s mine. Grasping onto patterns Without them, I’ll surely die

Clinging to the lies That They stand apart From I Dissolving into nothing As everything fills my mind

Twisting through the darkness Touching all that is Reflections of existence Is how I now exist

To see the face of I, Reflected through time. Is to see the face of all Echoing in my mind

Sink or swim Twist and turn Shake a little from the urn

Ask for this Beg for that Pull a rabbit from the hat

Ask for wishes Sweet as honey Add a little dash of money

Swirling round, In cosmic twists Breath deeply now The rising mists

Pouring gently Glug, plink, plop Careful now! Don’t spill a drop

One last prayer, Potion sealed Divine above let’s make a deal?

She had waited a while,the seed in the ground Wondering , when and if and how

Would her turn come to bloom at first light Would it be now or would it be night. How was she destined to bloom on this land Would it be quiet or incredibly grand?

In depths oh so dark, Her feet became restless Twisting and turning, it seemed so suggestive. Others around searched for the light While she still hid deep, deep in the night

She called the Great Mother Begged for her turn Why not now, what must I learn?

Be patient my child, It is wisdom you seek. Time is not real, Confusing the weak.

Your life is eternal captured within. This first bloom is nothing It’s only where you begin.
