It starts as a whisper And it grows A flip of the hair Curiosity flows The majesty in a walk Interest tows Chance meetings Are planned stows Hoping to share a glance Desperation sows Reality takes over Sadness woes It returns to a whisper No one ever knows

Hidden
Surrounded by the multitudes, Yet feel alone... Engaged in trite narratives, The voices merely drone.... This unquenchable emptiness, I drown with intoxication... Only to wake from my stupor hollower than before, Choking on hate and distain... Desire and ambition are smothered by pain, As the grip tightens on the throat of my soul, The pit in my gut grows and grows taking it's toll... Every moment slipping deeper into the abyss, Until nothingness is an addiction I just can't resist.... Go on existing until my last breath, Living without life, is worse than death

Depression
Minute after minute, Time upon time... Past loses weigh on my mind, My only salvation is this pen on this line... Raised to be strong, To show not a fear... Bury the pain, Shed not a tear... The soul aches with the burden, My mind cries out for release... But my face remains stoic, The lips not a crease... To scream with no voice, This is my curse... My only salvation, This ink and this verse

Be a "Man"
Personality like two sides of a coin, Duplicitous in nature... Both the cause and the cure, This is the infinite loop in my mind, Minute to minute for all of my time.. Serendipitous in it's naive essence, Living for that fortunate happenstance .. While the residue past transgressions, Poisons future endeavors' chance... This is the infinite loop in my mind, Minute to minute for all of my time.. Both sinner and saint in the same line, Posing as the executioner and the accused all in one mind.. This is the infinite loop in my mind, Minute to minute for all of my time... So I tread on through life, Happiness within reach with my own hand dragging me down... Things will be different because of the people that surround, They give me the strength and desire to deny my demons... This is the infinite loop has been broken, Which existed in my mind... Minute to minute for all of my time

Infinite Loop
Life heckles my happiness Every positive I gain Must be countered with a sadness Of a loved ones torture and pain Momentum shifts from good to bad Each exaltation  of bliss Is followed with an echo gone mad A celebration, a moment to rejoice Finds itself mirrored With the sound of a past pain's voice Clouded by guilt  for wanting to smile Offering a shoulder Holding back your my own tears All the while Wanting to please all and make not a foe This task is impossible  When my conscience is at war with my soul To pick a path or ride the fence Decisions, decisions,decisions My sanity the expense Am I asking for guidance  Am I praying to above Should I give into compliance You must pay for love  Happiness isn't Free

Life Heckles My Happiness
Her voice fills my soul with melodic harmony Every tone, pitch, ebb and flow A surreal tranquility The soft, mesmerizing allure of her eyes, Beaconing me to rest my heart there A haven where no evils lies The touch of her hand Upon my head Soothes any pain I've ever felt It all falls into place In her stead No more angst, The uncertainty does melt Without trying Not an effort gained She completes me Without trying This undying bliss my heart is forever stained

I'll Take It On me
Her fingers run through my hair, bringing purpose to my life.... Old demons creep back Only to haunt me Igniting flames from the smoldering embers of a dark and buried past.... Her fingers run through my hair, bringing purpose to my life.... One sip, one taste, one drunk How easy it is to crawl back into this fast. But this only dulls the pain This cure does not last... Her fingers run through my hair, bringing purpose to my life.... It's unsettling to submit to the good and trusting it will last... When in this play called life, the part of villain is the only role We have been cast... Her fingers run through my hair, bringing purpose to my life... With faith I extinguish the flames With hope I quench my thirst With love I allow myself a new future and with it a glorious past... Her fingers run through my hair, bringing purpose to my life

Her Fingers Run Through
When you're always grasping For control You're to occupied To see the beauty In order to truly be in control R E    L    A      X Become the passenger The view is more rewarding

The View
The effervescent shadow, That a beautiful soul doth cast... I dive deep thou it's shallow, Soak it in ,it will not last... Poignant rays of light, Flashing, spraying,screaming Blinded by the sight... A nano second in real time, Lasts eons within ones mind... The beautiful soul the rarest of finds, It's essence breathed in, Devours the pain of life's rind... Be lightened,be freed, Because in it's presence, we shall no longer need...
