Forever we wondered
Forever we said
Forever we claimed
Forever we prayed

But oh what fools
To think of an ever
When the only "ever"
Is always a never

Forever we promised
To stay together

But

Forever is nothing
And
Nothing forever

Here's to those
Who read
Who write

Here's to those
That love with might

Forever remember
To never say "forever"

Because

**Forever is nothing
&
Nothing is forever
To those who fell in the purest most passionate love and had to let go for love

Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream:
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep—while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

She put a spell on me
She manipulates my heart with alchemy
I love her with no control
Because she controls my very soul

She is so enchanting and mysterious
Her sorcery has got me delirious
I'm her servant and her puppet
And part of me loves it

Some voodoo and a hex
For some ritualistic ***
Under the blood moon a celebration
For the God of *******

My sweet little pixie
Raising the dead with her necromancy
As I watch with dread
She dances with the dead

Witchcraft and conjuring demons from hell
Mystic horrors as the sacrifices scream and yell
I must break free from these sinister restraints; I must rebel
But I can't stop their pains because with magic in my veins I am just a
shell

I am like a doll stuck in its head and helpless
Left to panic about how she is relentless
She is so charming its alarming                        
I wonder who els she will be harming

The ****** psychotic *****
This seductive destructive witch
As long as I am hexed
I am going to be be next
This was a poem I just wrote in my book just to get some ideas down so I could turn it into a song after. I didn't think it was good enough to post here at first but on a second inspection I thought some one might like it.(later) should I change "God Of *******" if its too graphic? I was thinking Devastation, Cremation, Mutilation, Pleasure and sensation, I know there are more but I can't think of any. I just don't want to loose people so early on or I know people might just think its gross.

Cruelty is never ending
Is it even worth defending
The world isn't fair
So why should I care

Why shouldn't I just become apart of the disorder
Apart of the new world order
Another link in the chain
Causing people pain

Why should I bother
If I have to pay for the sins of my father
Paying for every angel that fell
Why worry about sins when your already in hell

Stealing from the sick and dying
Cheating and lying
Devastating every one in my path
And making them feel my wrath

Soon I will have my spawn
And they will be the ones to be put upon
They will be left to fend
Or to try and make amend
They will be left with this omen
And my peace will be my end

Before my birth, I had no name.
Cities born out of
straight lines and
mathematical perfection
became the law.
It taught me what it means to walk.
Child becomes man
and man becomes confused.
Confusion turns to fear
and the man becomes abused.

I asked myself.
The mountains don't grow in straight lines. The ocean follows no law.
The clouds do not need a guiding hand
The beasts do not fear tomorrow.
Why do I?

When I looked into the heavens with a solemn cry for truth.
I did not see an ancient god,
but came upon a laughing youth...

Playing hide and seek.
That is when I understood.

In the end, I'll have no name.
Just embers in an endless flame.

I didn't see the sunset that night.
That's what saved my life - a missed sunset.
Since then
I have craved the way
The sky lights on fire
Every single afternoon.

I have craved
The light and the colors.
My soul has wanted to feel
The way the light feels
As it dances
On the corners of the clouds.
I want that kind of joy.

So I set myself on fire.
I create those colors inside my mind.
My thoughts dance
On the edge of my body
Like the light in the clouds.

I
Feel
Alive
Dance in the rain. Watch the sunset. Run through grocery stores at 3am with your best friends by your side. Don't miss out on life.

I wonder if killing yourself
is the only thing you can control in your entire life,
and that's why it's a sin.
Because you're beating God at his own game.

The Calm
Hey beautiful
There’s a star up there made just for you
Cause when God gave you to me, he needed something for the rest of the universe too
Something to replace the mystery found in your eyes
Something that others can marvel over when they glance at the skies
Something to replace the wonder in your smile
God created something else that makes me want to stop, stare, and admire for a while
A whole universe out there
So vast, deep and blue
But I don’t need to look out there, I am in awe enough when I look at you.
Love ***** and all but...

i want to feel your lips on mine
hands on my skin
like the coming of a tide
running over my flesh
and washing away the worry

i want to touch you
a way that you have never felt
betraying a hunger that only i will ever provide you

for i am the fire that your mother tried to protect you from
but i am also the foothill you will peacefully lay your head on
