To the bone

      To the end

As a queen

      As a friend

Never lost

      Never through

Ever yours

      Ever true

In the morning

      In the rain

Take my life

      Take my sane

Be my love

      Be the now

Feed my hunger

     Fill the void

you cast a spell on me
and to my delight,
i felt the same
tingling sensation
in my spine.
let me tell you this,
lovely enchantress —
you need not cast
a spell on me
for right from the start,
you already
enchanted me.
you keep enchanting me still.
Some people change their
colors and fall away; a
few are evergreen.

"Usually the thing I find the hardest to do, is usually the thing I'm supposed to do!"
‪Lying on a bed of daisies ‬
‪With summers good intent ‬
‪Butterflies and ladybugs dancing on our heads‬
‪Eyes are shut, as we lay in peace‬
‪Listening for the sounds‬
‪Like birds that sing, and flap their wings‬
‪Way up high above the ground ‬
Sun is bright and filled with warmth
As it shines down on this place
Rays of sunlight bounced around
Puts a smile on our face
Vibrant colors here and there
As far as eyes can see
Crisp and clean, and so serine
Brings out the best in me
......
This is for anyone and everyone who has ever felt like they don't belong.

I’m thinking in paintings & graphic novels,
Ink flowing through my veins,
Brimming to the top with genres,

Spitting words,
With devilish curves,

As I twirl,
My wrists through arcs,
And sagas,
Open the pages with,
Adventures,
Full of romance and science,

Weave you through webs of emotion,
That make you feel, see, and hear,
Reality erosion,
As you weep, grieve, and cheer,

Then lull you to sleep,
In my cradle of feeling,
Secure and heard,
Healing,

Feel my magic,
Through my art,
Warm your insides,
With my heart.
How do broad shoulders
bare the weight of what
     we carry to the grave,
and how do we gauge
    the weight of
    what never was?

They say we simply
need to share
to speak,
but I know not one man
that can shine a torch
on his own demon,
let alone name It.

So They start to circle
as bones no longer
Creak but Crack
and broad shoulders start
learn the pain of growing older
and like demons
make for
fine friends.

If
the eyes are the window
through which we can look
into the soul,
Then let words serve
as a souls outstretched arms
and when we look in let us see
that in yours are a shield,
and mine a sword,

Then let you block and bash
as I swing and slash
that not one more man may fall
and broad shoulders need bare
nothing at all.
As we grow old and carry the weight of our lives, we find those with similar demons and gain a sort of peace in sharing.
