Eyes that shine when all is dark
They light the fire inside my heart
An open flame that burns so bright
Blue-Green hue inside pure white

You catch my glance from across the room
You smell like a flower ripe in bloom
You walk by and make my heart pound
I start to talk, out comes not sound

I kick myself for being shy
I could not even spit out "hi"
I try to think of the right thing to say
I know it will happen but not today

I missed my chance but there is tomorrow
But tonight I'll have to deal with sorrow
The pain you feel right before you die
Feels a lot better after you cry

You don't know what you do to me
I close my eyes, you're all I see
Things are not always as they seem
But when I wake up it is no dream

You don't have to say it
I don't know why
I left all the feelings
I have left
Inside
I died
You cried
I lied
Never again….
Never again….

Don't be afraid of me
I won't hurt you anymore
I told myself I let you go
And then you crept back in
The world has stopped
It's only you
The rest are left
In spite of you
The best are beaten
Black and blue
The only one who stands out
Is YOU

Don't go away
No
Never again

She was grotesquely beautiful
Autumn wind blows through her hair
The gentle cool breeze scatters leaves
My eyes look up and start to stare
The sun dips low and starts to fade
Her lips are full and lovely to taste
Orange color hue turns to pink in the sky
I'd paint her so a part of her stays
Slowly the night sets in and leaves me blind
All the color of the beautiful sky dies
With a turn of her head and a gentle smile
She walks away and out of my life

Mighty Zeus is floating among the clouds
while childish Echo mimics sounds.
Zephyrus strolling across his stead
is casually putting Boreas to bed.

Send a letter to Hades, if you please
send back to Demeter, Persephone.
The nymphs, the fairies, and the sprites
dance around Flora with much delight.

Fauna, with her children, were the next to show,
carrying on with merriment and Artemis’ bow.
The huntress stood anxious as she was awaiting someone.
Next came Helios with Apollo, then out went the sun.

In that moment, Nyx crept from out of the shadows
followed by her sons Hypnos and Thanatos.
Then Bacchus stood up or was it Dionysus?
Clamors of violence came from the Thiasus.

An apple, from Discord, so shiny, was thrown
"To the Wisest and Greatest", were the words shown.
Hermes was as shrewd as Aphrodite was vain
and with a fell swoop, the apple he claimed.

Athena, not to be outdone, came up with a plan
She promised Vulcan, God of Fire, her hand.
She asked for an arrow that could **** their own
made with skin of the griffon and a chimera bone.

Ares was near and overheard what was said.
He grabbed his axe and aimed it for her head.
Poseidon with his trident and his magnificent crown
flooded the heavens of Olympus and watched them all drown.
Thiasus: drunken wild women followers of Dionysus

The sun is coming up real soon
forcing us to say goodbye
I disconnect, unplug myself
and go to close to my eyes.

These images come and go so fast
That my brain can’t comprehend
I just thought of the perfect thing to say
but I know I can never send.

Was that your face that I just saw?
How the hell did you get there?
All I wanted was a good night's sleep,
Not some sick ******* nightmare.

Your fingers filthy, wretched, lean
Touch mine and make them rot.
When I look down, they’ve intertwined
As my blood begins to clot.

My lower half becomes stiff and rigid
And my legs begin to snap.
You’ve splintered off inside my head
And woken me from my nap.

The guilty part was I liked it
Far more than should be allowed.
But you can never admit to that
At least don’t say it out loud.

Staring at the clock with it’s bright red eyes
I should have known my limits.
How could I have led you back astray
In a little over 13 minutes?
