Guilt is a gusty gale from within. A soul is but a sailor Who can’t sail away from sin.

Sailor
I no longer dream. Silent sleep and silent thoughts, No more background noise.

Quiet
Loneliness came to greet me again last night. We spoke for a while, reminiscing of long gone delights. Loneliness stayed for breakfast the other day. We dined in silence, at some point you run out of words to say.

An Old Acquaintance
My nightmare is Waking up to find myself Lost in a lifestyle I didn’t dream for myself.

Waking Nightmare
A bustling busy beach town, where all the ends meet, That was where you met her, walking down the street. Just here for a friend, that’s what she told you, Her smile was going to say far more than she was first willing to. All those pretty words, you so meticulously rehearsed, Dried up in an instant, your flirt game died of thirst. Her name was just a whisper, but it flooded your eardrums, You drowned in a wave of nausea, swallowed your own tongue. You never could admit, if you fell at the first sight, Or if that wave of attraction, rose and crashed down like a tide. All your voices of reason, found themselves lost at sea, A boundless sweeping ocean, there’s so many possibilities. But before you go and panic, just realize what you found, She’ll teach you how to swim, and you’ll never miss the ground.

Lost At Sea
It’s funny how, we rush and squirm To fill our days up to the brim Filling this coffee cup, that never ends I’d swear it off for good if it only meant That I could stomach the days gone by, A slow ticking clock makes we want to cry. And it’s funny, how the day’s gone fast My coffee cups can never seem to last Long enough to keep me occupied From noticing how much time is in supply.

One More Cup
Snow capped peaks impede the river’s watery flow. But come next spring, the birds will sing a joyous note. All those moments that torment us, the ones that chill us now Shall unfreeze, thawing more than memories we drowned. When the waters of acceptance run through valleys unbridled, We shall remember our seasons of struggle with melancholy smiles.

A River’s Flow
Oh, the tragedy. Heart Shaped boxes remain locked. Keys held by strangers.

Locked for How Long?
I would smile with honest glee If I could watch the froth of the sea For the rest of my life, Leaving behind all folly and strife. It is true, I have no doubt— Among the waves there is a route For every man, woman, and child The key to happiness unbridled.

Waves
I know it’s been some time since last we spoke, I’m serious this time, I promise it isn’t a joke. Lord, know that I am lost once more. I’m embarrassed, but, your forgiveness I implore. For with each prayer I think you’ll find That my faith in you only seems to decline.
