A soft touch
Diamonds in your eyes
Glistening
Shining with love
Near and far
Holding hands in space
Feeling nothing and everything
Knowing love is there
Without physical contact
Hearing your voice
Without speaking
Listening to your actions
To be in your arms
Asking how it feels
Remembering a time smiles were true
Tears were nonexistent
All around the world
I felt you
And your love

Walk slowly across the dance floor
Feeling the rhythm of music pulsing
Alone
Dancing to the sound of music
Adrenaline driven
Until exhaustion
Peering at those around
Those who have a partner
Slowly dragging lead legs in circles
To show the courage of not being afraid
Watching the soldier kiss his girl
Watch the performers captivate their audience
Watching the gowns sway
Watching as the lights dim
And the music halts
I dance alone
To the sound of music
Playing in my head

Diving deeper into you
Feeling the roughness of your skin
Pressed against mine
A look, a touch
Sends me to my knees
Crashing against the cold dirt
Sinking beneath the surface
Slipping into darkness
Burning with passion
Fleeing from advances of creatures I know not of
Whispering hush hush
To silence the sounds of my heart
For love is a dangerous game
Be still my blackened heart
For you do not need to change
Just place barbed wire across the fences you built
Hush hush I say to my brain
Because logic sees the reasoning
Yet I do not need to listen to the voices in my head
As I can plunge farther into myself
Causing no more pain
No love to give or receive
Hush hush I say to myself
As I let go of all reason to stay afloat

The touch of you
Still lingering across my skin
The thought of you
Fresh in my mind
An angelic voice
Whispering softly in my ear
A sure embrace I once knew
Love so pure
Fading into the distance
Traveling the universe
To free the stars of themselves
To eat the sun and darken the worlds
To give the cosmos a reason to exist
Floating in space as high energy
Passing time by counting the stars
Waiting for a supernova to save us

Flying through the sky
Traveling in light years
Racing past the stars

Close your eyes
Feel the sensation of being high
Forget the lonely nights this once

Good times
Flashing through my once fragile mind
Now a wasteland

The garden once in bloom
Now withered
Dead and wilted

Lost and drowning
In your eyes
Sinking under your skin

Simple boy
Innocent love
Starry eyed
Full of hope
Full of wonder
Full of life

Wearing his heart on his sleeve
Maintaining his optimism
Be still my heart
Dreaming of where he is
Swimming in his eyes
Drowning in his love
Falling in his embrace

Color my world
With your fingertips
Paint the sky
Bring life to the canvas
Color my heart
With your love

A simple boy
I fell in love with
Showing how to paint the world
No longer black and white
Colored my soul
Simple boy
With his heart

Take me to a higher place now
Where the sense of freedom exists
No limitations
No restraints
No longer chained to walls

Enhancement no longer needed
Moving about on my own
Discovering destiny
Where I am in place
Mind and soul

A moving vessel
Crashed and ruined
Beyond human repair

Say it all
Words leave the tip of our tongues
Into a world of its own
And whispers start
Did they really say that?
Momentarily the world holds its breath
Watches as you speak
Words leaving your fingertips
And onto a screen, a paper
Your thoughts being read aloud
In the mind of another
Interpreted differently
Your words rearranged
Transformed into a different being
With less meaning to you.

Growing ever so fearful
Afraid of who lives next door
Why do they talk funny?
Do not associate with their kind
They are the spawn of evil
Away with our jobs we deem unfitting
Why are they here
This is our home
But did we not steal it from natives
Who are we to judge
Why do we judge
Why do we preserve our way
When there is nothing to preserve
Lies!
Filth and vermin you say
I call friends and family
Nothing more
Nothing less

Where are we now
At a red light
Time passing by
Slow motion now
Everything, a blur

Where should we go
Lost a sense of direction
No compass to guide
Just intuition
Just looking through a mirror

For you
For me
Let me sin
If only

Looking around
The darkness with unfamiliar sounds
A figure lingering in the distance
Unsure of where to go

Here I stand
Desperately seeking your love
Your approval
Of all that I do

Pursuing an impossible dream
Goals that shall never be fulfilled
A love that shall not know romance
A mere mutual agreement upon what is desired

Here is to you
And all of your success and failure
For me
It is the bittersweet victory enjoyed with an empty heart

Love
A meaningless word to you
Forbidden to utter
No sense of emotional attachment
No sentimental value

A cold shell
A lifeless form
Metallic armor
Where is your mace to fight me?
Your sword to pierce my bleeding heart?

Man and woman
Equal in love
Unrequited love
Hopeless romantic
Everything I know

Taboo
What is our love if there even is one?
What is it that makes us desire?
Dusting off every emotion
Everything is taboo afterwards

Your touch
Cold and frightening
Devoid of all emotions
Love is meaningless and taboo
Without love
What is there for us?
For me?

The word
Fragile
But considered taboo

No more words now
Just a silent evening
Blank stares
Closed mouths
A zombie

Substitution will not follow through
Made of stone
No proof of love

Stillness in time
Hearts ceasing to beat
Proving what I have to accomplish
To please the likes of you

Speaking in tongues
To waves crashing on the shore
Gibberish is all it knows
But our heart understands

Carrying a shimmering light
A beacon of hope to guide
To light the path
Of a darkened road

Feeling lost and all is forgotten
Colors fading to a bleak grey
A voice hoarse
Soul, numbless

The ending of us
Highly inevitable
The ending of the world
Maybe

Laughing at your sadness
Sweet satisfaction
Knowing you are forever alone
Buried in yourself
Wallow in your self pity
Wrap a flimsy shell to cover
That pathetic creature called you
Sit alone in the dark
And cry
And remember how you told me to go

Shattered
A heart ripped to shreds
Without reason
An empty feeling
Cold comfort
Knowing you are gone
Forever
A remnant of you remains
A keeper of haunting memories

Hello
Ignore
Again
Losing you
To your hate
No I cannot grasp the concept
Of ignoring you

Needing rain to bring the shine
Light to guide
Darkness to rest
Grow my tiny seed
Pouring my rain over you
Inner thoughts and memories
Washing over your tiny frame

Two hours ago it wasn't in thoughts
Two hours later I'm dead
Currently I'm caught in a crossfire
An hour ago it was premeditated
An hour later I'm bleeding
Tomorrow I'm laying in a morgue
Underneath a white sheet
Yesterday I was asleep
Dreaming of flying
Now I'm here
A week from today
My body is burning
Ashes being scattered
Last week I smelled the roses
And said someday

Asking for more
Attempting to borrow some time
Only to come up empty handed
Nonstop addiction
Unable to quit the high
A feeling to last forever
Craving to get one more taste
More, more, more

Sitting on the shelf
Watching its wick burn
How it seems to dance
A shadow imitating form
Wind blowing against it
Flames taking the oxygen
Down to nothing
As it extinguishes itself

Made of stone
With a heart of gold
A touch so cool
It sent shivers down my spine

Gentle to the sands of time
Holding an hourglass with endless beads
Greatest love of all
Speaking in tongues

A figure lost to you
A mystery to be solved and closed
Never to open again
Hands placing a lock

Keeping it a secret
Eyes closed to prevent the truth seeping out
Slave to no one
Ozymandias, you are free

Best left unsaid
Whenever in doubt
Shall it offend
Raise eyebrows
Make one wonder
Keep thoughts to yourself
Unless you know how to provoke

Waking up in your supposed embrace
Finding you gone
Leaving behind no trace of where you have gone
Your strength
Your fierceness
Departed
Not a note to find
Only a handful of tears left behind
To feel your embrace once more
The security
The touch of you
And know all is well

Ruffling her feathers
To cause turmoil
Without reason
She has been exiled to a secret location
Declaring a war upon them
To seek vengeance
Destroying all those who sought to take away her
All that is good
She has declared war
To end all that is good
And all that is devious
Raise hell we shall
And conquer armies of idiocy
And rule with an iron fist

Today  became today
Yesterday came and gone
Tomorrow never showed up
Later became soon
Eventually never came to realization
Time became stuck
Frozen in an endless vortex

The bright light fading into darkness
The grass slowly dying
Loading the revolver
Playing russian roulette
Guessing as to whom will die
Or live
For at this moment in time
All shall perish
And none shall live to tell
Worrisome no more
Love is meaningless
Pain is all that matters
From innocent things
To trivial matters
Nothingness
Neglected
Once loved, now no more
Living in the shadows
Eternally ****** to numbness
In a dark place I roam
Seeking nothing
Only for a match to light my path

Broken hearted once again
How does it feel to let go
Tell me why
It hurts so
When it is so much more

Love in this (after)life
Everlasting love
Despite all the sorrow
Despite the cruelty
Everlasting love

Extraordinary days passed us by
Time flew by
Knocking at our door
An unwelcome visitor
Took away all that is love

Broken hearted at the end of the day
But know no pain
Everlasting love was the only way
To an extraordinary day

No more rain
Heavy aroma filling the darkened sky
Rain falling gently on our skin
Running in the empty streets
Playing with the atmosphere
The sweet scent rising
Still running and splashing
Falling down
Skidding
Into each other
Around once more
Around the gardenia

So far away
A beautiful rose petal
A child unborn
Yet full of potential
Giving against the wind
Fighting to blossom
In a field of rainbow colors
In a field of paper
Made from air
Burned to ashes
Turned into stone
Petrified
Remnants of a flower
Beloved and doomed
To start anew from a seed
And form mighty petals
To bloom once more
A flower, a child
To call mine
Yet so far away
In a universe I do not know

Love notes
Burned without a single thought
Sweet words
Mean nothing anymore
Empty promises
A night to regret
A lifetime to forget

A hand covering up the light
The glamour fading into the distance
A shattered mirror
Reflecting lost beauty
A youth forgotten by the sands of time
Blood tainted
Blood shed for mere nothing
A darkened sky
Stars exploding
The glimmer in the sky
Destroyed
Fire consuming
Oxygen dissipating
Breathless
Taking flight into an abyss
Where fiends roam
And light is dark
Traveling in a motionless state
Reaching a destination
In a bed of flowers
Singing in my sleep
The words are fragile
Yet as sharp as a pure diamond

Tossed around so carelessly
What does it even mean?
Simple word
Not that difficult is it?
So tell me
Why do you not say it to me?
When I show it to you
Prove it
Express it
Love you
It is all I want to do
So why won't you say it back

I promise
To be better
To be smarter
Every single thing you wanted

I will try
To be handsome
To be slim
To be a model

I can
Change for you
I can
Do it all

I won't
Please just you

Wake up
From this hellish reality
That we call the world

Wake up
And stop hurting
Realize there was no pain

Wake up
From your sleepless nights
And the dream we call reality

Sitting down
Tittering on the edge of falling down
Debating on where I stand
When it comes to love and war

Staring at the sky
Wondering how long the sun will shine
Whether the stars will cause chaos
If the universe will fade away

How can love exist
When there are so many others
How can we exist
When there is nothing to live for

Oh, how ignorant the world is
Who will consider a child a child
Even if it is not born
Does it matter if it is a life?
You were once too

Sweetheart
Leaving is easier said than done
But that does not mean the love ends there
For it travels a further distance
To wreak havoc

Who will save us
When the time has come
Who will save us
From ourselves

Better days
When the world was beautiful
Dancing was a fever
A feeling so high
All the lovers raged on and on
Upon a mountain of lovers
Twisting, sensual
A touch, so seldom
It brought shivers

Taking chances
Realizing that one night
Was the last of eternal bliss
Lasting love and happiness
Over
Without so much a proper farewell
Now begging to return to the dance floor
Walking towards the exit
Humming slightly
To a tune not forgotten

Walking amongst unfamiliar faces
Forbidden love
Prohibited from falling in love again
Not a chance to see what was happiness
Only a songstress could save me
Perhaps if I shouted for her, for him, for you
Resisting is foolish
For I have been consumed by an angel
Who sought me out
And ordered me to raise arms up
And shout for love

A sound in the night
Stranger in the night
Confined to solitary confinement
Forcing me to reconsider
The life chosen
Closer and closer
Redesigning the world in an image
Where love is in all of us

One step ahead
Planning for a revival
When all hell broke
But an epiphany occurred
This was the dream
To travel far and near
Where the world is seen
In multicolored
And black and white
This was a beautiful sight
The beautiful dream

A mighty return to this dance floor
Risen from ashes
A triumphant victor
Shining lights upon the followers
Notice this is reality
Not fiction
The sound of music
Flowing into each body
Embraces and affection
A thrill
Heartbeats ceasing
Trying to capture the intensity of a moment that is unforgettable

Created from nothing
An illusion that was created
To preserve a creature so pure
It was thought to have been banned from mortal eyes
Now it has crashed
Creating confusion amongst the lovers
Fearing for her safety
It created a masquerade ball
Surrounding by what she deemed reality
A distant land
Only she knew
When the perfect world shattered

Rumors spread of a goddess with the powers of the forbidden
Foreseeing a brighter day for those who chose a higher path
The world knew of the secret
Complicating information
However the brightest in the world
Seemed unaffected by the discovery
Hiding their connection

When the goddess loathed being captured
She revealed the master plan
But promising to strike twice
If the world saw what was lying underneath
Gone, the goddess sought shelter far away
Nothing the mortals knowledge of her plan
Striking from heavens above
Lightning struck twice
Blinding the universe
For only a second
Nothing existed

Reminding the world
Dark disco magic
Warped time and love
Nothing was ever bright
When left alone
Or forgotten
Or simply existing

Hiding
Not a smile in sight
Determined to keep a tough exterior
Tears
Bottled up
Saved for an occasion that shall never exist
Empty shell

Plagued by once cherished memories
Now a cruel reminder of once was
A figure with shackles
Wailing
Waiting to frighten me
Drag me beneath its cloak
And make haste
To the ghostly realm

Nighttime
Sleepless once more
State of mind: morose
Fragile being
Eyes, bloodshot
Jittery
Dark circles
Going around and around
Paleness
Exhaustion
Greetings insomnia
Welcome to my humble abode
Stay for the night
Let us begin a game of will
And see who shall be victor

Failure tonight
To recognize the one
Quoting the princess
When all is known
Anonymous has bid farewell
For tonight
Will make you reconsider.

I'm looking for an angel.
Have you seen him?
He has drifted far from Heaven.
Crashed amongst the stars
Landed in the clouds
And the force struck earth.
When darkness comes,
Will you come and shine?

I shimmer for you
Catch on, catch on.
Oh, the very thrill of it,
Doing this to raise your eyebrows.
Makes you wonder
Who is invisible?
Blocked by your barriers
I know the way to your heart
The core of all that is pure
And evil
A being that is flawed
And perfect

Have you ever considered the past?
All of its memories long forgotten
No one to preserve it
No trace of our past
Undoubtedly
Dooming us

Have you ever been *****?
Your mind and body being desecrated
A sacred temple burned to the ground
Tarnishing its reputation

Have you ever been deaf?
Have you ever been mute?
Have you ever been blind?
Have you ever been paralyzed?

Have you seen the end of the world?
Protests ignored
Bombings and gunfire
A child in red
Roaming the city

Have you ever died?
And returned to this world
A being of nothingness
An empty creature
With no will to live

Has your life spiraled out of control?
Hitting rock bottom
And no where to turn to
No where to go
No one to ask for help

Have you ever been human?
A human with flaws
A human that made mistakes

Have you ever heard the angels crying?
Over you.

Pulsing
Racing
Blood pumping
I can feel it
As I lay next to you

Rhythm
We are one
Listen to our heartbeat
Ticking away

It's an illusion
Pulling us down
We do not ask why
Just accept it

Don't waste my time with long sentences
Simplify it for me
Easier to go on living
Knowing life is simpler
With nothing to gain
And nothing to lose

Everything I know
I learned from you
Life is complicated
I have been granted that knowledge

With you to guide me
The journey is safer
To twenty hundred miles to where you stand
Arms waiting to embrace a child

Nothing stays the same
You have taught me to embrace change
With open arms
And love life

With you
Life is a roller coaster
Hitting turbulence
With you, life is good

Far, far away
Love in the time of trouble
A past shrouded by pain pressured on
Difficult to imagine
But so easy to find love

Far away
There is a land
Only one knows
The true meaning of love
For a lover, and also a child

To know him
Is to gather trust
Friendship a must
All smiles and genial
To know a boy, a friend, a lover, a father
