A light meets
A darkness
Hideously
Tamed

A match
That knows
No balance
Only pain

He swoons
At her
Smile

She
Burns in
His flame

Everything
Freezes
To capture
This moment
In a timeless
Frame

Find me in the meadow
Sprawled out amongst
The drunken breeze

Where the moon glows
Brighter than the sun
Illuminating the crowded
Landscape where only
Rampant thoughts grow
Freely

And the poet’s flow
Sounds more like
The ramblings of a
Soon to be madman

Crazed by the nature of our
Two fates intertwining
But never touching

You wandered naked
through the burning sand
looking for the promised land

Denied by the nature
of your eyes
It’s the chaos that you
breed inside

Now You look down
to the ground
picking up the pieces
of your broken crown

The solace of your name
brings you nothing more
but shame

Like the  castle where
you built your reign
on the ever shifting sands

Forgotten by
your cruel hands

I woke up to find
a devil by my side
we began to dance
in the shadow of the
  dying sun

I look into the mirror
only to find
the spirit inside
has left my eyes

I
traded my soul
but cant recal

all was lost
and nothing gained

Work,
sleep,
repeat.

Work,
sleep,
repeat.

Work,
sleep,
repeat.

Work,
Lay in bed
WHILE  YOUR  MIND  
TORTURES  YOU  WITH  A CHAOTIC  DISPLAY  
OF  THOUGHTS  CRASHING  INTO  EACH   OTHER!

Work,
sleep,
repeat.

The ground beneath my feet
is breaking, rumbling,
quacking me awake

As the sun comes chasing
a blazed

The moon goes into hiding
wallowing in sorrow and shame

I see a world in decay
The wrong people stepped up to rise
We’re all just sheep adding to the flock
An I can see the human inside
An I can see the human through your eyes
But I ask where is the line drawn between you and I

I can Envision a paradise
Where everyone’s freed from a wicked mind
Where everyone is freed to truly be alive

But I can never grasp it
I fear that humans can only be defined
By the pain a suffering within and without their own lives

May just be that we’ve given up
And locked our selves away
In the illusion we call “Reality”

You must pardon me for what I say
It’s just the old soul inside
Finally fed up with seeing the world in decline

When I was younger I knew that the tendency would only grow stronger
And as I grow older I know I’ll only fall harder
As I get up I know I’ll be able to run farther
Before I reach my final  collapse
I ask again for forgiveness
this is just me
And my misanthropic tendency

I used to wake up
enslaved by the sun
As it would chain me down
With a new understanding of sadness

The night would come brake me free
Then leave me alone
with the madness

Look up to the sky
Do you see
The baby
Cradled in the clouds
Gently rocked by the breeze

It’s time
to take this paper
And tie it off around my arm
Until the vein is protruding

With my pen
I’ll penetrate my soul
Letting the ink flow

Allowing it
To erase everything I know
So I can escape the stress

And
reminisce
On the youthful bliss
Of ignorance

My mind
The
Pen

My soul
The
Ink

My life
The
paper

I
The
Poet

I
step into
the shower
The water temperature
turned all the way up
I want each drop to burn
As if to purge my soul
No matter how hard I scrub
I can never wash away my sin
Its stained too deep
Within

I see the world like no one else ever has
With one look I can find the deepest meaning
In anything

I write them down in poems
For they are holy scriptures
Which I know shall be worshipped
For all eternity

I am
No longer man
But a
Poetic deity

Every time I see you
Starring at me from the mirror
I grow to hate you even more,

It’s the LUST  in your eyes

The ENVY  in your heart

The GREED  on your mind

Your GLUTTONOUS  habits

Your SLOTHFUL  nature

The undeserving PRIDE in your stance

And the WRATH  in your smile

These are the reasons I loathe you.
