Even an ordinary day has the potential to become a great adventure, if you approach it with childlike wonder and fascination.

This gift...
An angel in my arms.
So innocent and new.
The universe has spoken.
A new life is born.

Ne'er a sound does he make,
As I look into his eyes.
Two perfect blue sapphires.
Reflections of the sea,
And never ending tides.

Indescribable love.
I have never known before.
I am his protector.
A she-wolf with her pup.
Until the end of time.

Time has become my adversary.
You wish to spread your wings and fly.
To pursue your hopes and dreams.
But I am scared to let you go.
1, 2, 3, ... Jump

Life continues on.
The angel has found his love.
An insatiable lust.
That takes over his being.
Like honey to a bee.

The angel has fallen.
By demons of the night.
They taunt him with euphoria,
That only the needle can bring.
Just one more hit...

My little boy is now a stranger.
His arms are marked and bruised.
I wish for his survival.
The strength to begin anew.
Just one more hit...

The deception and deceit,
Are more than I can bear.
Where is my little angel?
When will he return?
Just one more hit...

The vultures are circling.
Waiting for the end.
He promises to quit.
To fight the disease.
But the darkness pulls him in.

Just one last hit...

My life feels like an island,
Secluded in the distance.
Its beauty fails to reach my eyes,
And I am trapped within this.

Time is now my enemy,
It often feels so endless.
It promises of a future bright,
And a life that's full of richness.

I no longer seem to recognize,
This life set out before me.
I wish for love and better days,
And the feel of strength within me.

My thoughts are in control of me,
But I fight with new conviction.
I wish to change my life around,
And free my sorrow's addiction.

With passing time I feel new hope,
And my eyes are finally open.
I see a life without despair,
And a life no longer broken.

I find peace in the darkness,
But long to feel the light.
Its warmth down upon me,
Its aura soft and bright.

The light captivates my mind,
With dreams of gentle skies.
It reaches through my darkness,
And strips away all ties.

My darkness fights against it,
This bringer of the light.
But it fails to pierce its brilliance,
And fades into the night.

Freedom has finally found me,
And I respond with open arms.
I embrace its vivid glow,
And all its hidden charms.

The weight has finally lifted,
I truly now am free.
Of all my darkly baggage,
That had a hold of me.

You
Steal
My
Strength
And
Leave
Me
Torn

Tired
Worn down
Out of options
In the dark again
Falling down life's rabbit hole
I begin to breathe
There is light
Slow smile
Relief

If today is tomorrow's yesterday,
Is tomorrow yesterday's today?

Sin
The choice
A tempting offer
Internal path to shame
A journey of the wounded
The balance of seduction and fate
All senses are abandoned at this moment
Fear of fulfillment and retribution with its attainment
A need to embrace our own depravity and imperfections
Freedom to lose myself in unrelenting moments of sheer bliss

Possession
Of my mind
Of my heart
Tears of loneliness
Thinking of you
Your rejected love
My rejected thoughts
Of you and I together
Memories of other times
When you would smile at me
And I felt waves of passion
But that day has come and gone
You left me here
To bare the weight of this pain
The longing to see you one last time
The possession of my body and my courage
To hate to love you

There is no escape from,
A dark and murky mind.
Unless you have the strength,
To leave the past behind.

I
am
haunted
bitter
wasted
scorned
alone
desperate
passionate
fait­hful
loyal
kind
loving
free

There is no darkness without some light

I've placed a shield around me,
To hide my inner shame.
There are demons found inside me,
That I never seem to tame.

My mind is an asylum,
Where I live in my restraints.
It keeps me bound in silence,
And my essence it does taint.

I feel alone and undeserving,
Of the me I keep inside.
It's for my own protection,
So I can never be despised.

If they reject my performance,
It has no affect on me.
Because it's not me they hate,
But the me I pretend to be.

I came upon a shadow,
While walking in the dark.
A brave and mighty shadow,
All alone inside a park.

It lingered on a boulder,
Resting on the ground.
But quickly moved away,
When I began to move around.

How funny that a shadow,
Should loom out in the night.
Alone and unafraid,
With the moon its only light.

The shadow followed me,
All along the path.
We didn't get far,
Before I stopped to laugh.

For the shadow had me,
Caught within its grasp.
And I had it,
Clutched within my clasp.

How silly did I feel,
When I finally came to see.
The shadow had an owner,
For it belonged to me.

I feel your comfort upon my skin,
And I bask in the light of your beauty.
The glow of spring is here again,
It is no longer dark and gloomy.

I watch the sunset blossom with warmth,
And I feel a sense of wonder.
The brilliant sun upon my face,
And my mind begins to ponder.

Why do I feel so empty inside,
With dreams so dim and foggy.
I see birds so free up in the sky,
And a chill spreads through my body.

The flowers are once again in bloom,
With scents that are alluring.
The feeling of dread remains unchanged,
I am alone and hurting.

I have a mask that hides my pain,
This smile of fake emotion.
I wish to fly away from here,
On a cloud above the ocean.

Smiling on the outside,
And
Screaming
From
Within

I met a beautiful stranger,
Sitting by a Lake.
He looked in my direction,
And my heart began to quake.

His eyes shone a crystal blue,
And never left my gaze.
He moved in my direction,
And I truly was amazed.

Why should such a wonder,
Want to talk to me?
This beautiful Adonis,
Whatever reason could it be?

He continued to approach me,
I felt so very meek.
I longed for his embrace,
My knees were suddenly weak.

When he finally reached me,
My chest was feeling tight.
It was then that he asked me,
"Do you have a light".
:-O
