Light touches the edge of the sky Which bursts forth to your lips Lips that mustn't be tarnished or burned Charred orange rays struggle to find figure Overpowering them with a flash of a grin Followed by a sweetly scented titter A sonic melody that melts insides of all around Matter drips up into the horizon Embellishing the the beam further along Brighter More vibrant A dying star Seeking a new lifeforce Commensalistic relationship is needed The light found her

She, the Brightest Star
If the train stops along the way We could disappear for a holiday Get lost in the wood Build a cabin, should we? Modest and comfy Nuzzled in the corner as a fire sets The smell of pine Fills the lungs Books read are the ones we wrote No other minds but our own Lost in eyes Another layer commences Transcendence into a pocket dimension Dialogue through blank stares All that is needed there This cabin of thought The one we devised Could be visited at anytime Both you and I hold the keys Meet me there whenever you think of me

Cabin of Thought
Blue eyes distract the sunshine of your smile Drawn in with the teasing “shut up” look given Dark blonde hair cut just beyond the shoulder Almost childlike Takes you back to a childhood crush It feels the same Moths dance around the glow in your stomach Sweltering heat slices through the body Paralyzed in the moment Wanting to run while never wanting to leave that presence Eyes still pierce you forcing a gleeful smile Natural, pure the laugh that emerges from the stomach Forces one across the chasm As the giggling ensues the gap closes Until the two collide The feeling is full

Melting Glaciers
There’s nothing poetic about it A broken heart Precursors are set Gut feelings long before anything takes place Something instinctual sits in your stomach Your insides turn into a witches brew in a cauldron As anxiety boils up It’s coming and nothing can subdue this unstoppable natural disaster This isn’t hurricane or a tornado There is no possible way of out running away from the carnage that will soon ensue The heart is tied to the tracks and the bullet train is right on schedule The call comes Being understanding is courtesy Words released under each breath do not match the ones lingering in your head But you don’t speak your mind How could you It ends and the heart along with it

Alone Again
The breeze is brisk yet filling It compliments the sun that is soon crowded by clouds Birds are singing a familiar song One that reminds you of the time when you were a boy A time where skinned knees and vampires were your only worries When the spiders created in your mind haunted you in the shadows But the comfort of your parents’ bed always calmed your spirits To be bathed in innocence and only see the beauty in God’s world An imagination so exuberant the most visionary of writers coveted it You long to be writer too And the weather is glorious Too bad it looks like rain

Tut-tut
Dirt and grime plaque the soul Selfishness torments the heart To the point where it no longer feels The brain cries out with insults This process brings others down to its level Falling from grace takes time The demons enter slowly Through substances Through friends Through foes Evil isn’t always visible Evil isn’t always violent Sometimes it lurks in the shadows of the alleys And it never reveals itself Evil hides in the darkest corners of your mind But only peeks out when you’re at the brink of destruction There’s darkness in all of us Just don’t let it take control

Black Seeds
Your sweet scent of roses and pomegranates Fill the air Intoxicating the room Once everyone gets a whiff They gag The smell is fine But it reminds them of you.

Smells
Loneliness eats away at the soul It dives deep into its caverns Infecting every inch Not doing so in a rushed manner No, loneliness bides its time It allows you to enjoy the solitude at first But overtime you dread it It ***** away everything that is pure and good It fills you with sorrow Tells you daylight will never come And you believe it

Eating Alone
If you want something bad enough You will make an effort to obtain it You don’t want me You choose others over me You make no attempt to seize me for yourself I am not someone who waits around My patience is short lived Just like you and I

So Long
The rain comes and goes It leaves life in its departure When it leaves and the clouds roll back I am sad It almost seems mother nature wants me to move along To stumble back outside Into a world basking in sun But still living under storms I wish for the rain to return
