23/M/American A giant with a heart...
It is but for once a while Stars align A destiny only said as divine And can be reached through trial By fire My life already strung By but a single wire For what battles already waged My breath still hung In memories seemed staged Through the eyes of the blind Obsessed in fights without valor Just to enact a house divided Forgotten to what is kind And guarded without armor Wandered alone in desert My thirst substantial to wither What strength I remain Held to the light by the Seraphim So I may ever be alert To one day be with her No matter how far I go insane No matter how big I dream For it was she that helped me see What I was becoming For it was she that saw The potential for it all And allowed my strength to build To handle the life that is upcoming With energy vigorous and raw Unshaken by the ethereal brawl So my demons would finally be killed As the final war let out its cry The storms that came shook With every roar She found reason to hide Aching my heart to look As my lungs ran sore Pleading with every thought To comfort her yet again Too afraid I left her So she ran for another I tried to do the same Spreading lies with claim To cloud what I saw as love With mere disdain But in time I realized The words she said to me during it all were true So I took steps to begin anew To undo all hatred I had wrought And keep the losing flame Running high No matter my reach in fame For I may be burned When I work the courage to say I am still in love with you

Losing Flame for May I be Burned
It is but for once a while Stars align A destiny only said as divine And can be reached through trial By fire My life already strung By but a single wire For what battles already waged My breath still hung In memories seemed staged Through the eyes of the blind Obsessed in fights without valor Just to enact a house divided Forgotten to what is kind And guarded without armor Wandered alone in desert My thirst substantial to wither What strength I remain Held to the light by the Seraphim So I may ever be alert To one day be with her No matter how far I go insane No matter how big I dream For it was she that helped me see What I was becoming For it was she that saw The potential for it all And allowed my strength to build To handle the life that is upcoming With energy vigorous and raw Unshaken by the ethereal brawl So my demons would finally be killed As the final war let out its cry The storms that came shook With every roar She found reason to hide Aching my heart to look As my lungs ran sore Pleading with every thought To comfort her yet again Too afraid I left her So she ran for another I tried to do the same Spreading lies with claim To cloud what I saw as love With mere disdain But in time I realized The words she said to me during it all were true So I took steps to begin anew To undo all hatred I had wrought And keep the losing flame Running high No matter my reach in fame For I may be burned When I work the courage to say I am still in love with you

Thoughts of darkness I never leave Chances to escape both frighten Yet give me reason to believe The ecstasy of serenity Freeing me from its grasp By walking the shadowy path To leave many to give Many the chance to enlighten Their own abyss As my only motivation Is to somehow conceive The hearts to which thieve My own straight from my chest Leading to forging an identity Some question as a psychopath Yet I know no other way to live In hopes the vision with the child's kiss Becomes my life's fruition To constantly better my best A question often whispered Is if the child I foreseen Had named her mother to be Fortune strikes no Yet the journey often wonders Otherwise there would be no mean As one continues to strike against my heart Someone has my attention Enough so that efforts to hide such affection Are seen through with ease But timing and public voice Render a pursuit not as wise But the distance offers such an advantage To still be there in times of need Without risk of crossing that line Until it is time Where she can be free to make that call Without ties to strangle her mind That often seems to find ways To poison her in random times But truthfully I cannot judge As my own head likes to tease Such dread But if I may be honest Just so I may get a chance to release Each time I see her, every hint of her presence I cannot help but see Her face in the moonlight A divine gift to help with sight As I'm acquainted more with night Than that of daylight She started to catch the reasons why Yet didn't want me to disappear I have tried to distance myself with others But even faces barely known to me Saw through my masquerade So it is hard to deny through truth Leaving me to only the original choice To simply wait and see What is all this moonlight meaning A mere fantasy from lonesome thoughts Or a true destiny never thought possible

MoonLight Meaning
Thoughts of darkness I never leave Chances to escape both frighten Yet give me reason to believe The ecstasy of serenity Freeing me from its grasp By walking the shadowy path To leave many to give Many the chance to enlighten Their own abyss As my only motivation Is to somehow conceive The hearts to which thieve My own straight from my chest Leading to forging an identity Some question as a psychopath Yet I know no other way to live In hopes the vision with the child's kiss Becomes my life's fruition To constantly better my best A question often whispered Is if the child I foreseen Had named her mother to be Fortune strikes no Yet the journey often wonders Otherwise there would be no mean As one continues to strike against my heart Someone has my attention Enough so that efforts to hide such affection Are seen through with ease But timing and public voice Render a pursuit not as wise But the distance offers such an advantage To still be there in times of need Without risk of crossing that line Until it is time Where she can be free to make that call Without ties to strangle her mind That often seems to find ways To poison her in random times But truthfully I cannot judge As my own head likes to tease Such dread But if I may be honest Just so I may get a chance to release Each time I see her, every hint of her presence I cannot help but see Her face in the moonlight A divine gift to help with sight As I'm acquainted more with night Than that of daylight She started to catch the reasons why Yet didn't want me to disappear I have tried to distance myself with others But even faces barely known to me Saw through my masquerade So it is hard to deny through truth Leaving me to only the original choice To simply wait and see What is all this moonlight meaning A mere fantasy from lonesome thoughts Or a true destiny never thought possible

I hate that I have this feeling A residency in my chest Filled by an unexpected guest That I cannot confess Outside of subtle hints Of what haunts nearly every thought At least for a time Until it is right I keep that photo close A rare moment Probably so common For people accepted Maybe that's all it really is What I actually feel Just being a part of a family Nevertheless The truth is rather a mess I know I shouldn't feel like this But this is still the case The place in my heart Will always be there In hopes that the soulful eyes Will meet mine To hold the heart Like I owed when we part I miss it greatly To which I will keep to my vow To do what I can So it will always be there The doors will always be open The windows even cracked If time allows it to happen She will always have a way in Perhaps On the off chance the heart sees better What my eyes cannot And its childish wish For this Is granted by reality I hope that they can see What it is that nearly blinds me A pure heavenly light in the darkness The reason for the battle to greatness To rest in the valleys Seeding rose gardens with possibilities Of the future past the expectations Promised by the angels Given that I followed the order To push through and fight for the masses That couldn't take the battles on their own To bring about a world those people can feel safe in That is what she brings out in me A sense of purpose in this life I had forgotten I had In a time of hardship Even if the wishes I cast never fulfill The truth is I love her still And see she was simply meant To revive the part of me that died I have to accept that may simply be the case As anything more may simply be fantasy As for now I cannot be anything more to her Than a watchful overseer and friend

Loving Someone I Shouldn't
I hate that I have this feeling A residency in my chest Filled by an unexpected guest That I cannot confess Outside of subtle hints Of what haunts nearly every thought At least for a time Until it is right I keep that photo close A rare moment Probably so common For people accepted Maybe that's all it really is What I actually feel Just being a part of a family Nevertheless The truth is rather a mess I know I shouldn't feel like this But this is still the case The place in my heart Will always be there In hopes that the soulful eyes Will meet mine To hold the heart Like I owed when we part I miss it greatly To which I will keep to my vow To do what I can So it will always be there The doors will always be open The windows even cracked If time allows it to happen She will always have a way in Perhaps On the off chance the heart sees better What my eyes cannot And its childish wish For this Is granted by reality I hope that they can see What it is that nearly blinds me A pure heavenly light in the darkness The reason for the battle to greatness To rest in the valleys Seeding rose gardens with possibilities Of the future past the expectations Promised by the angels Given that I followed the order To push through and fight for the masses That couldn't take the battles on their own To bring about a world those people can feel safe in That is what she brings out in me A sense of purpose in this life I had forgotten I had In a time of hardship Even if the wishes I cast never fulfill The truth is I love her still And see she was simply meant To revive the part of me that died I have to accept that may simply be the case As anything more may simply be fantasy As for now I cannot be anything more to her Than a watchful overseer and friend

Can you hear me Can you see me Far from the daylight Stuck in this fight Can you hear me Can you see me I am lost here Waiting for you my dear The skies keep falling Hell keeps rising I can't keep going This battle is too much Heaven's armies scrambling Father's wishes dying Demons always trembling The hordes of lost souls Screaming in the night For the lives they stole From the light Prayers are never answered As God left this world To let creation take its time Free itself, from grasps of cancered Loosened from the crime Can you hear me Can you see me Far from the daylight Stuck in this fight Can you hear me Can you see me I am lost here Waiting for you my dear

Can you hear me
Take the steps in stride Fight the world with pride Show that you are a man Stare against the world Show off what you can But don't you dare lie You would not be standing there Without the arms of a woman You laid curled Without her you could die It might not even be fair But it's her Mother, daughter, sister, friend Lover, fighter, true survivor Grandmother, teacher Healer, shoulder Cleansing fire Don't you ever Deny that she makes your world Holy water, warrior A mighty knight's suit of armor An angel's choir, Heaven's sire A loving child Woman's stride Female Pride Heart so wide That is why you should stride Should she see the day She runs the world She never needed The men who hurt her Worlds would change As they already have A woman's love Paved the way For our modern sky to never Be the limits Yet make it so We live to take that chance So why is it we take her for granted Try to only treat her Like she's a toy A thing we may pamper When the endless limit of her mind The lights of her soul The warmth of her heart Are keys to creation And beauties unknown Mother, daughter, sister, friend Lover, fighter, true survivor Grandmother, teacher Healer, shoulder Cleansing fire Don't you ever Deny that she makes your world Holy water, warrior A mighty knight's suit of armor An angel's choir, Heaven's sire A loving child Woman's stride Female Pride She may hit like I girl But I see that pain is like no other She never needed me to save her When she has the power But a fool I'll be Not to help her When she sees the need It's her heart It's her mind It's her soul It's her being It's her Why you are here

It is from what birth I saw my cause As but a stone in the depths Of Hellish fronts To serve but a bridge So those lost in darkness May find their true place In Light But some time passed As my stone started to burn An angelic light Found me and saw my worth Since that fateful day I feel freed from my bounds Just hoping And endless praying To meet the divine beauty That captivated my sight Seemingly ages ago Who continues to whisper in the night As I cannot pull away From the shimmer and wisdom Of the starlight Deep into her eyes As each glimmer Quickly proves to be But mere fragments of Her divine soul It is but a source So strange, yet so familiar It is but a lesson in life And a heart of warmth Untapped and hidden By the corrupt of souls As it seeks to find a way out The deepest pieces of my very being Just wish to be there to help In any form she may see fit But it is with hope That I pray the angel I seek Knows that my intention Is not to add toxicity to her life But to join my own to hers To lead us to serenity To help as many as we can And to flourish against the odds

Ambitions
She was but an image in my head One I once believed Would help make easy passage Far past all dread But who am I To deny What her essence had already achieved Came at a heavy price To truly evolve With life advice To forge paradise Was not an effort for the weak Even when fate seemed bleak My admiration Of her loyalty And dedication To better her own faults Continued to grow Even in tested days She still always amazed What could help write A fairytale narration Not unlike that Of Beauty and the Beast Constant melodies emerge from the soul Looking to try to hold her When the day turns sour Poetry much like this Is hard to dismiss To immortalize what words I wish to say When times might render me silent To what my heart hopes to occur It is not but secret she is blind to And her holding my being to the highest principle When my ego took over Only betters what it is I see In the glimmer of her Eternal Jewel As I continue to pray Each day For the hope to capture that glow On the rings To help sew The miracle in our meeting Into a fabrics of creation As she is the first to make me feel That I actually deserve a chance At everlasting happiness The very fact we met is a miracle Enough to contemplate If an angel took favor If the chance encounter Hadn't been brewing all along Spinning verse of lyrical As there is no debate It is a thing to really savor To have such fate in another After finally getting to shred the dark ties In turbulent and terror To find another who understood Exactly why I saw the starlit sky When the world seemed cloudy To which my own faults Threatened to drive her out Proving myself to be but the greatest fool As I worked to tear the castle walls And slipped her a key To which when she found herself ready To find inside The truest of treasure I can offer In hopes they are the same If not greater Then what she once told me she admired So when the morning rose And we found ourselves In the gaze of each other As I cloak myself In the Phantom veil Of a being molded by favorites And heroes To hopefully ascend Beyond the end Of the memory in which Brakes the barriers set on us By forces beyond our control Giving us the edge To truly seek out What it is we long desired Of heart and of mind To define The imprints we leave Upon the globe Immortalizing And Strengthening Our push to Defying And Realizing The cruelty of what laid Behind us And forging empires of eternal jewel Captivating all who witness Its glory

I owe a great deal To the friends I hardly knew For granting me memories Of happiness and adventure I thought possible only in dream To laughter with each meal Heartfelt tears in Shanghai grew Sprouting lifetimes of stories Of a fantasy Against all odd To the tunes of Parisian melody Boasting a Holy Romantic seal Beyond what possibly may seem To the friends I hardly knew May life smile on you Bring you fortunes And faithful kinships To aid you when we part Know what I say is true From the run through Thai dew And admiration of tropical art It is but I thank you From the truest extents of my heart Though lost in Dublin street Even though we may again never meet From the highest of Highlands We will never truly part

To The Friends I Hardly Knew
If I am to die tonight Let all my secrets spill About the lives I lost And those I saved As part of my fight Surging thunders for its thrill Forgetting the true cost Of what my heart truly craved If I am to die today To the countless I saw It is to which I thank yee For memories I cherish Beyond what words may say Farther than the eye may see And last long past my perish If I am to die tomorrow Let the sands of time Slow to a wounded crawl So I may find myself drunk On the serenades of friendship I have longed to enjoy And resurrect my memory From endless sorrow As my mind so focused on crime Tried to seal away everyone outside Its wall And keep inside worthless junk If I died yesterday I shall beg the angels To let my soul wander So I may visit all Who I let reside in my heart To simply remember The beauty in them I loved From bonding miles away To moments alone upon a hill And treks into the valleys Leaving myself to ponder The purpose of life I left behind Forgetting the reason to brawl So I may truly part Into the warmth of heavenly embers If I am to die Let me take each moment To make what wrongs I can Right Let me flourish To give what life I have left Its fullest fulfillment Before it's fooled By another conman If I am to die Let the one I love Know my true embrace Without a source of doubt Far past all fear To which I may cry When the wedding with white doves Brings deserve joy upon her face As I repeat the words to assure "I am forever yours, My dear"

If I Am To Die Tonight
If I am to die tonight Let all my secrets spill About the lives I lost And those I saved As part of my fight Surging thunders for its thrill Forgetting the true cost Of what my heart truly craved If I am to die today To the countless I saw It is to which I thank yee For memories I cherish Beyond what words may say Farther than the eye may see And last long past my perish If I am to die tomorrow Let the sands of time Slow to a wounded crawl So I may find myself drunk On the serenades of friendship I have longed to enjoy And resurrect my memory From endless sorrow As my mind so focused on crime Tried to seal away everyone outside Its wall And keep inside worthless junk If I died yesterday I shall beg the angels To let my soul wander So I may visit all Who I let reside in my heart To simply remember The beauty in them I loved From bonding miles away To moments alone upon a hill And treks into the valleys Leaving myself to ponder The purpose of life I left behind Forgetting the reason to brawl So I may truly part Into the warmth of heavenly embers If I am to die Let me take each moment To make what wrongs I can Right Let me flourish To give what life I have left Its fullest fulfillment Before it's fooled By another conman If I am to die Let the one I love Know my true embrace Without a source of doubt Far past all fear To which I may cry When the wedding with white doves Brings deserve joy upon her face As I repeat the words to assure "I am forever yours, My dear"

I can't stop thinking about you But I cannot find the right words to speak So much artistry to make this forever anew Scrambled by the instance it seeks my hand The loss of you continues to make me weak Yet in a distance I know you are just fine I shouldn't have let you in To the deepest of chambers Held by the vessel of all emotion Tarnished by seemingly endless wars The thought of us now many see as sin A notion Splitting my mind since the moment We left the mainland To forge memories no one Can claim were their own Several hands have been dealt To help me forget Everything I felt and all I thought I saw Your silence sends the message I should walk away Back into the chambers Of the secluded fortress I once let you in I know our new friends Watch my pursuits grow further Which leads me to wonder If you think about me As much as I think about you Despite what I want to happen I know I must let fate run its course If our paths cross again Maybe, just maybe Or it will prove I shouldn't have let you in
