The big open blues
Clouds and bubbles take the space
Can easily be plowed through
The feeling of freedom,
Weightless as it can be
Floating through the open blues
Splashing in the watery sky,
A sparkling smile hits your face.
That feeling of pure bliss,
Nothing is better
Hold onto that feeling,
This fleeting moment
Will leave on a whim.
Embrace it.
Let it flow through every fiber.
These moments are not meant to last,
A hair’s moment at best.
Take in the big blue seas,
The freedom of the open blues.

A container with infinite capabilities
Holding
Memories
Holds
Possibilities
Contains concern, doubt, mistrust
Isolation
The emptiness is full
Filled with shapes
Things indescribable
Trapped within
No escape
No
Escape
Contain, hold, isolate
Same meaning, different capabilities
Choose the container’s purpose
Close it with a thought
Open it
To unveil your next path

Throw another log on the fire
the wind's getting up
and the rain's turned to sleet.
Make a dancing ,crackling fire,
to fill up the room
with it's comforting heat.
There may be a power cut
but never you mind,
we'll sit in the light of the fireside glow.
We'll renew our love
without distraction
while outside the sleet turns to snow.

All the resentment
Such a tiring sentiment
I see no end to all of it
Why do you do this to yourself?
Babbling on to no end
No wonder they don’t want to be my friend.
It’s okay, it’s to be expected
There is no need for this
Walking together, alone
I am alone
It’s to be expected but…
You know the truth
Why do you do this to yourself?
There is no need for this
Because you know the truth
It’s okay to feel this way
You are not alone
It’s okay to feel this pain
You have others
It’s okay
Stand tall together
Walk together
Alone

The winter sky saluted me,
As I let my mind rest into daydream.
A brief moment of beautiful pause
To create faces in the clouds.
It was then that I realised
That just the sight of your face,
Soothed all the burns upon my skin
From all the time I've tried to cleanse myself
With the isolation that so often erodes me.
The air was cold, my lips were blue;
But still, I couldn't fault the view.

you scare me sometimes
i don't think you would ever intentionally hurt me
but you have my heart in your hands
i fall down with every word you say
my hands are bruised
my knees are ******
you would never intentionally hurt me
but my love for you
is ruining me

We were strong
But the world was stronger
The Earth can send violent storms
Massive waves
And unhinged ground
And it changes the landscape forever
Never to return to before
That's where we are
You saw the storm of my hate
Felt the waves of my sadness
And the tremors of my soul as it broke
And now here we stand
On a new decimated land
And we can never go back to before

Get a job,
a husband or wife.
Make yourself comfortable
in your own life.
So they tell me
or would have told me
if they were still alive.
But they are dying slowly
by the magic pills.
They are no longer there
to protect and care.
I no longer have devils
that whisper and scream.
They can do both
but now they are doing non.
And I can see myself having fun,
not caring or staring
into nothingness.
Yet it leaves me in mourning
to know they are about to die.
Maybe if I hold on a little longer
I won't be lonely and then find myself
a job, husband or wife.

The world is a mirror
If you love it
You will receive love
But you must start at your mirror
If you love yourself
You will receive your love
I don't always love the world
Perhaps it doesn't always love me
But what I give I receive
I don't always love my reflection
It certainly despises me
But sometimes we get along rather nicely
I am trying to love the world
Ceaselessly
As it grows to love me
For we are one in the same
I am trying to love my reflection
Relentlessly
And it grows to love me
For we are one in the same.
