Alone again on mists of grey
Atone again for sins astray
Longing for the touch of they
Belonging to another day
Crying for the love of old
Scrying for my dreams untold

Wanting to remove the sting
Searching for any thing
Looking at my heart they hold
Grasping for anything
Anything...
To remove..
The cold.

Without a Rhyme or Reason right
I step into a Poet's Light
In shapes of Dark and darkness through
Through all the vibrant color hues
A sense, the start of new adventure
In search for Gods to test new ventures
A fresh day roused to the sight of me
And You have set me truly Free

With a Rhyme and season bright
I step into a Poet's Light
Mistakes have brought my eyes come true
True lies have made me pay my dues
Commence, to Life I now surrender
In search to dream a Poet's splendor
A fresh way roused to the Light of me
And You alone have set me Free

A broken mind
With broken thoughts
And what I find
Is all for naught.

A cloud within,
A toxic fog
Of what I'm been
And what I'm not.

A broken smile,
A shattered heart
Was once beguiled
Now torn apart.

I loved you so
I love you still
You had to go
And leave me chilled.

Alone I am
Alone I fell
Alone I will be
But

I wish you well.

Seasons come and seasons fade
Years whir by like a former shade
Going faster while becoming slow

Memories burn as i'm growing old
And did I mention the thing I told?
I can't recall.

I can't remember
The embers burning them away
Left no flash or wicked flame

Like seasons come and seasons fade
Will it burn my life away?
Or will I succumb to the cold?
Potato Jul 2019
You entered my life
Like a shade on a moonless night
And just as quickly
You went away

You took away my sight
With promises of bliss
And for a while
You were right
I'd give it all again
for another kiss

But you exited my life
Like a shade on a moonless night
So dark and free
Fleed the light of day

You burned away my light
With the fire you began
And for a while
It felt right
I'd do it all again
for another chance

You changed my life
Like a shade on a moonless night
Because now I can see
And now I stay away

Down in the water

Out by the rocks

Know that I want her

I'm feeling the shock

It's raining harder

Than I can take

Can I go farther?

And rid the ache

Oh how I sought her

To see her smile

Heart's grown much larger

At least for a while

Drown in the water

Cold, shivering arms

Moon's getting smaller

It's suddenly

Warm

Wandering around
Nightmares lurking in the distance

Oh, the dreams I have found
Are they real
Or just some other form
of existence?

Do I just want to be
Or do I want to see
What I can become?

Meandering away
Shadows coming closer

Oh, will I see the day
If it's real
Or just some other form
Of closure?

Do I just want to dream
Or let out a hollow scream
At what I want to become?

And are these dreams even mine?

Dark night,
Moon light
Ever slightly sway

Shine bright,
Ever slight
Stars that lead the way

Take flight,
Past fright
Wherever we may stray

Sleep tight,
Good knight
Toward another day
Fly
Potato Sep 2019
Fly
On wings of ash they fly
Until the sun no longer lights the sky
On and on and past the moon
Out in dark they are marooned
A sea of black they sail
Looking back, seeming frail
A tiny unassuming sphere
Past their grudges and their fears
Looking back, seeming small
A dot that used to be their all
Erased by all-consuming night
Past our mother star's light
Forever adrift on endless shores
Alone in space, reliving our horrors
Our dreams, on wings of ash they fly
Towards a sun to again light our skies

Isn't it funny how
a bit of hope
Can make a home
But a bit of rope
Means you're gone?
Potato Jan 2020
In the wildest nights
and sacred hallows
We find ourselves
upon the gallows
Of life and death
and lost in between
Where dreams and reality
enforce the unseen.

Woe, we the lost
and those we follow
We find ourselves
to be the hollows
In meaning and madness,
devoid are we
Caged in thoughts
when we are free.

All fears and fright,
the head it swallows
Together alone
An ocean shallow
Keep afloat
but drown shall we
When tears and smiles
consume our dreams.

Woe, we in love
Woe, we so shallow
We find ourselves
upon the gallows
In meaning and madness
we crave to be
The slightest touch
-Will set us free.

There's a world in my mind and it's about to crash down
Try not to feel scared and to not make a sound
Can't be hidden away and I cannot run off
The world that I'm in has gotten so tough
It withers away and keeps falling apart
I cannot remember my hope at the start
But as you will, and think and say
This isn't a place that i'm able to stay
I have to jump, to the dark and deep
Go past the lands of sorrows and sleeps
To the morrow we come and towards the sun
A beginning that hasn't yet begun
So sleep well, sweet dreams, and good night
And don't let the bed bugs bite
Potato Jul 2019
Never enough, yet I've had enough
Will it ever be enough?
Because, you see, I cannot see
The beautiful piece of dirt that is me
Yet I know, the flower it'll grow
Feeding on tears that continue to flow
But never enough, am I enough?
Will I ever be enough?
To feed this seed inside me
To bleed this need from me
To **** the weeds from my life
Can I grow strong?
Be the place it belongs
Or will it wither away and die?
It's raining, little flower
It's raining, little bud
It is raining inside.
She
Potato Jul 2019
She
She sang a song
of ice and snow
and dreamed of oceans
swaying slow
She swam through clouds
and flew near stars
Fell so proud
and dove so far

She was a sad harmony
A song she unsung
A silence unheard
A deed undone

She hummed a tune
of fish and birds
and bore with devotion
The beasts she herds
She swam through life
and flew from death
Fell from strife
and dove bereft

She was a sweet melody
A smile she unsmiled
A violence in violet
My hope she defiled

She sang a song
that twists the mind
and played my emotions
Leaving me blind
I swam near folly
and flew through sin
I fell in love
and dove right in

Darkened days
-and brightened nights
Stooped to lows
-and chased the highs
Collect my breath
-As it fades away
Must I live like this
-Another day?
The sleep, it takes me
-So deep, i'm set free
The dreams, they whimper
-The screams, they linger
They're stirred
-They're blurred
Until they can no longer
-No longer
Be
-heard.

The dreams of tomorrow
Now sound so hollow
And the whispers of today
Just keep drifting away
As the pictures of the past
Keep flashing by so fast
My state of mind keeps losing
To a state of my own choosing
Numb I become
I become numb.

Branch out, oh Tree
Such growth of thee
Branch out, branch out
And grow so free

You dress in green
The skin unseen
You dance so slow
For seeds you sow

You bask in light
To reach such heights
You cast such shade
On grass displayed

Branch out, I plea,
Grow quick, oh Tree
Branch out, branch out
And shelter me!

— The End —
