I dreamt of beauty and fear
A sadness grew in dead soil
Under guise of navy petals of hope
Come close and watch it thrive

Feel the empty frost in my heart
A growing rose of deepest blue
Thorns of cruel blood surround
Will you show me Winter's warmth

I cannot see the coming end
Summer tends to forget
I surrender, I surrender
My body is vacant of desire

Five dead days and it's over
Five wasted years I will not know
Everything is ending
Everything is cold

And I awoke from my tortured sleeping
Afraid of the clean snow outside my window
You silently buried me there in the dark
And yet I suspect I was not only dreaming
I am not sure where this piece is coming from within me. There is a vacancy I feel deep within and I am trying to access it and discover the source through writing. It is very unnerving as I have never felt this way.

Truth bids, "Fall."
And my shoulders balk

Failure sets my heart
Aware of the blue parts

Carry me home
Buried in hope

Open my eyes
And heal me tonight

I am burdened
With my own hurting

My legs are numb
My lungs succumb

Open my mouth
No voice pours out

I am wasting
Again and again away

Lonely in this house
Of friends, of doubts

Goodbye is not something you merely say
It is felt and it echoes throughout your lungs and into your marrow
In this great big too far gone world
Goodbye could be forever and a day

We don't know.
We don't care. Everything is beautiful.
Everything is terrible.
We're just trying to make it out
Alive/Alight.

Speak grace into the canvas of my silent heart
Words of love and musical laughter part from your gold velvet lips
Strength enough to carry away pain and suffering from my weary eyes
Speak grace into the canvas of my silent heart

Dance like fire wild in the ink drop watercolor night
Passion stained cheeks glow from beneath lovers eyes
Sparks soar higher than the thunder head eagles play
Dance like fire wild in the ink drop watercolor night

Breath soft as the world settles slow and rise with the lazy star heat
Forget the troubles of days behind and look for warmth in my furnace chest
Delicate sighs of whispered vows tremble about the air
Breath soft as the world settles slow and rise with the lazy star heat

Speak grace into the canvas of my silent heart
Words of love and musical laughter part from your gold velvet lips
Strength enough to carry away pain and suffering from my weary eyes
Speak grace into the canvas of my silent heart

In false light reflected we stare deeply into eyes the same.
Searching for Truth and finding ourselves shimmering cold over the still lake alone unflinching in the weight of eternity and her majestic indifference; blink.
A madness of heaven reaching through the water below to stir the silent sleeper of your soul, come forth from your depths and breathe the silk air you once knew.
All is glistening in the not so distant morning where the sun roars ancient and abysmal.
Where once Truth sighed heavy into shadow she will once more open like the lily seeking her sky born love.
Despair fades from eyes now clear blue like the sky and the rain washes away anger like dust from your kissed skin.
We blossom into light petals of ultra green and hyper white and dance as the joyous breeze allows.
Soon the darkness must fall again and we shall curl away to forgive the fallacious star that drowns out so many more.
False light will search us for the desperate Truth we hide.
A waking dream that danced on the edge of my eyes into the bright warmth of the sun.

I drowned myself
In the glass half-full
Too god ****** proud
To believe in dying with a lungful
