American I'm a human just like you.
Single story Raining Pouring Window broken Hearts are storming Lifeless floating Stopping nothing Everything going Raining pouring Raining pouring Gone.

Raining Pouring
To charge this matter, in all its chaotic fury, without a moment of peace and grace, leaves us battered in a heap of forgotten actions. A choice with no action, an action with no choice are both treasonous to our fate in that it takes no mercy in our results. We fight to keep a struggle under a sea of doubt, gasping for breath until we both fade into the waves. Falling miles from the sky with a determined landing of fatal execution, or being too high and left drifting in endless space. This is the choice I dissolve my being into. Do I leave behind the life I constructed through a limitless desire and burning fire or do I throw away ideas and plans for the chance to hold a reflection of an unshattered heart? Where does this breathe in my soul? How can I end insanity and the vanity? What lives beyond tomorrow when I can barely grasp today?

Oh bliss, take me into your arms and cast off the mortal coil that holds me back from your embrace. Let me dissolve into your soft lips and shed away the fears of deaths grip. For your lips are life and creation has never been sweeter.

Inspiration as a kiss
Under a fire breathing sky Next to a land filled of lies There is a child of pure heart Invoked to spur those apart True danger lives near its birth Loved disguised as warth from hearth End of tyranny with a swift click Dawn of peace to those death didn't pick

Simple things
Damp no longer holds in me. A dry case misplaced and withheld in its own thoughts. I used to be filled with life of passion and romance. People coming in and out with no worries, fascinating stories, ideas worth pouring, making me damp with tears of joy. Allowing mold to grow into moss at only the cost of being human. I had grown a forest of pure love into the soil, filling the earth with the roots of hope. Intertwined vines grasping the sky of ambition till giants look like ants with their golden harps and corporate rants. But now drained of the moisture of my leaves and dreams, too fast for me to scream or plead. People left me to bleed and kept everything they could touch. Broken alone I can't judge the distance between when I sleep and reality. I  have nothing inside to hold the pieces of sanity I seek. So, I let them go. Let the rays of light seep through the broken holes in my worn torn shack. Illuminating the dust of all I have left. Fragments of those that were there. Damp no longer my vocabulary.

Hush
I fear that it will be over Yet, I see no end to this pain What did we get with this struggle How did anything change from this strain You act like it is o.k. That I won't walk away feeling ashamed That I didn't kiss you, love you Made you feel worthy in every way Time heals everything That's what you sang Everything except you Time can't heal lifeless pangs You were the missing piece Love in endless refrain My silence is screaming to tell you That you gave my heart the chance to change I learn more about you every moment Working with you kept me sane I knew you for so little of life So how do you make me wish so much to stay I knew you for a year, a year. Loved you for what can only be days But I have been connected to you for an eternity My lost soul piece found, yet, never allowed to be one in the same.

Fragments
This pain that draws us closer has revealed so much I have never understood why these thing happen The life of tension in our hearts pushing us to break all concepts yet our wisdom tells us the truth behind what can actually hurt To be smart, to be ethical, morally correct? I burn you when I touch your skin I dissolve when you breath me in You nibble away at my heart biting and scratching, leaving a permanent mark I won't walk away with out a bruise But the bruise is beautiful, because it came from you. Is there any wonder as to why fate can be so cruel? Spinning us along, that string of agony on a corrupted spool I shouldn't have made our love in plain sight I should have been quite I should have lied about it Something, anything, everything besides what I did Now we look at each other with love But it's a Tantalus love. Never grasping. Wishing to be dead. I want to be with you You want to be with me I'm leaving You're staying We still don't feel free I see you now And you see me Our filters are gone and all we have is vulnerabilities We know what we can do and what we can't I wish I could do more than this poetry rant
