When I was a young lass
I loved the swings
Pretend I was a pirate
O’er waves clear as glass
I marched into the air
Riding the swells
Flag pole chain in hand
Swung high as I dared
Chariot came crashing
Down into mist
But I bounced back up
As my feet had springs
In figment of my mind
Wings spread open
I soared ‘bove the clouds
One of the divine
I’d flutter like fairies
Graceful beings
Close my ...
Approaching an altar to lay my heart upon.
Envy at all, not.
For my legs will share the same blood run as the wooden alike.
Sacrifice compromise,
preparing for something natural cannot exist.
I trust the suspended moment,
my beating tissue is extended into,
Murmuring I love you
A label of romance can burden the obsessed critic.
Communication is verbal in justification.
A first kiss?
Here, t...
Falling feels like flying
Until the moment that you land
Electricity feels like eternity
Until our love is up in flames
Water feels like a calmer ground
Until the second it drags you under
Happiness feels like home
Until your sadness starts to roam
Life feels like forever
Until the day that your heart surrenders...
Falling feels like flying until the moment that you land .
Crawling feels like walking until the moment that you stand.
Chasing dreams until the moment that you wake as reality begins to break .
Searching for a clue where truth is found , love feels like safety until the moment your heart starts to drown....
Falling feels like flying
When you’ve never touched the ground.
Gravity can’t hurt you
When you’re skyward bound.
Falling feels like flying
If you face any direction but down.
If you can see the end of your journey,
You’ll never turn back around.
Falling feels like flying
Until the moment that you land.
Then suddenly falling feels like dying
And you’re never free again....
Ecstasy becomes ashen static
A forlorn measure of bandwidth
status
A reminder of your lost magic
Your magnus served
In an empty chalice
A palace made of shattered glass
A slipper that would break on glass
A fairy god mother who turns smoke to ash
And back again
And back again
How lonley it feels to feel good again
You take your potion,
Poison
Poised with noise that
Distracts ...
Falling feels like flying til the moment that you land;
Sinking feels like floating til you realize it's quicksand.
Poison tastes like honey til the moment that you choke;
Your touch feels like caressing til your hands are 'round my throat.
(ik this is a short one; it is only semi-finished)...
My breath gets
Caught in my throat
And It feels as if
I weigh nothing
I continue moving
Throw the air
Pass the clouds
And birds
The wind strongly
Zips pass me
As I take in the beauty
Of God’s creation, below
Adrenalin courses
Through my body
While everything
Flies by in record time
A couple moments later
The grass seems closer
I convince myself
That I’m ready for impact
Then I’ve...
Falling feels like flying,
Until the moment that you land.
Oh, how I was soaring,
The first time you held my hand.
But what I could not fathom,
Until too much time had passed,
Is that you and I were just,
Too beautiful to Ever last.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
I feel your hand in mine,
And darling, we’re still flying,
Where there’s no such thing as time.
The thing that fills my h...
It’s funny when people tell me I’m a sad boy
What do you think I’m using all the drugs for
Somewhere down the line I meet a sad girl
Next thing you know she’s in my bed
Next thing you know she’s my world
Now what do you know she’s in my head
Let’s add a little drama to the scene
This is where I tell you I love you and you leave
In the car crying saying your the girl of my dreams
I tell you...
