Light to dark
Love to hate
Joy to sorrow
Friend to foe
May the one who claimed
Opposites attract
move from life to death
Opposites
Negatives
Pain
Disdain
There nothing positive
When it comes to opposites.

Our love
like a desert
an oasis of hope
on the horizon
The closer we get
the less we see
A mirage
A dream
faded
Gone

Our love a Tornado
A force of nature
leaving only destruction
of our pasts in its wake
Cleansing the hurt
the anger
the pain
Bringing new life
Bringing new rain
After every Storm
There is a silver lining
A path of life
A way to love
Come join my Storm
Come lose yourself with me
Let the winds of our love
Carry us high
Higher Into the sky
Lets touch the stars
and make them fall
Lets pluck the moon
From its eternal orbit
Let our love be eternal
and as sure as the earth
turns on its axis
And definite as Seasons change.
Love me.
Love us.

My mind is like
An out of tune guitar
Making senseless sounds
In a crowd

Over the edge,
Flung like a ******* through the air
Catapulted into emotional desolation
Me.
Done.
Broken.
... over socks, you ask?
Yes... the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Pain...
The one thing that remains
when all that is good
has passed you by
leaving nothing
but an empty promise
and a suffocating lie.

you
me
perfectly matched
separated
extricated
skillfully patched
love
hate
Animosity hatched

Ready, check, go!
Date night
Music
Food
Wine
Silence
Darkness
Flickering candles
Electricity cuts
Load shedding
You can cut the power
But you can't cut My love

What pretence
What a show
With your elegant voice
And your golden smile
Lifting hands in prayer
Showing the world you care
What no one sees
Are the demons that lurk
The hidden secrets
The bony skeletons
You fail to present
In the darkness
When you lay down to sleep
The YOU that no one sees
Peek out to come and play
What pretence
What a show

You say you love me
Yet you do not help me
You say you brag about me
Yet you never support me
You say you'll be lost without me
Yet you do not care how you treat me
You say you hate to see me cry
Yet you do not care to hurt me
Promises are like dusty cobwebs
In a deserted house
Nothing but dirt.

Muted words
Hushed tones
Downplayed emotions
Hurt like stones
Bottled up tears
Unspoken fears
Nothing but regret
A constant threat
'till all that is left
is a soul bereft

I don't want to stay
Right now all I want
is to run away

Falling leaves in the autumn
As the sun pull’s further away
Leaving this concrete jungle
Cold in this day
The faces of it’s residents
Lifeless stale and hard
No expression, none at all
Leaving could every souls heart
Passing by one another
No warmth or caring there
Each one for himself
Fights to survive in
They call home....

The rays of the sun even colder now
As snow flakes starts to fall
Forcing every soul
To retreat into what they call home
Nothing left to see out there
So hide in solitude
Every one alone will be
For this season, inevitably
No warmth or love
For these lonely souls
They no not where to search
For hiding brings nothing
But loneliness,
And loneliness nothing in turn…..
The sun is breaking through the clouds
Opening doors locked for months
Breathing new life into these hearts
So long frozen alone.
Melting the ice letting water flow
Bringing hope to them all
A new season has come
For the hearts of the lost
To be lifted in spirited joy
Filling their lungs with laughter
As the days grow longer now
Giving them a reason
To believe in love somehow

The summer sun so warm
The fiery furnace in the sky
Warms the concrete jungle
Brings forth life and friendliness
On faces of those who once so cold
Only shadows of lonely times
Locked away with the winter cold
In a closet of memories lost

Like an artist
The lovers touch
with his paint brush
Delicately paints
An invisible landscape
Enveloped in Euphoric desire
Stroke by stroke
The canvas is adorned
With light brushing kisses
And overwhelming pleasure
Bursts of colour
Blended to perfection
A master piece
My body, yours...

She lies
In a darkened meadow
She cries
Fleeing the shadow
Alone
Trying to breathe
Unknown
Lying beneath
Convicted
Awaiting her fate
Depicted
On a canvas of slate
She dies
Beneath the meadow
She lies
Alone in the shadow
Forever….

Silence
A deafening blow to the heart
as our love lies dying
like wilting flowers
on a cold winters night

Silence
Leaves me out cold
Torn and broken
Rejected and scarred
Lifeless and alone

Silence
Words without sound
Love without a song
I loved you once upon a time
But the silence killed us.

Ring, ring the phone goes
Echo’s through my mind
I can still here your soothing voice
On the other side
Cables linked our worlds together
Networked perfectly
For just a moment I felt you here
For a moment it felt so good
I talked, you listened,
You talked I listened too,
Amazing how technology
Just works for me and you…

I'm the small boat
In an ocean of pain
Tossed about
Discarded
The fight lost
At my souls cost
Shipwrecked
Dead

Somewhere above
         Somewhere below
                          She lost her mind
             She lost her soul
Somewhere out there
             Somewhere inside
                   She lingers still
Innocent
Untouched
Whole

In the wind a song is carried
A song of peace
Where war has seized
No more blood shed
No more pain
Where once death was
A way of living
Is now something forgotten
And where once it rained
Steel and fire
It now rains love and peace
But only a dream it is
A dream of hope and unity
A dream where all in peace shall be
A dream – Will it ever become
Reality?

Evening skies moonlit and bright
But deep in my soul no light is in sight
All I have is a memory of you
A face in the darkness so lonely and blue

Your eyes seem so somber
Your gaze so intense
How could it be
It just doesn’t make sense

One moment your happy
The next you are down
In these emotions
You surely will drown

I tried and I cried
But nothing would work
Your mind was made up
And you said the last word....

Spam me
Flood my inbox
make me
know
you miss me more
every fleeting minute
passing by like fireflies
disappearing in to the night
but at least
your spam
Keeps me here.

Carried by a gentle breeze
Withered leaves it al but seems
Leaves of long past winters fall
But very few in time it sees
Dark the color of the sky
As the breeze becomes a wind
Twisting twirling making way
Ripping everything out of place
Standing still I come to see
Only I in the storm be
All around me joy abounds
What is this I have not found
The storm inside me raging forth
Stripping passion, love, and more
Killing what I tried to keep
Hidden safely inside me no more
The soulful battle fearsomely fought
Against the raging deadly storm
Will I make it will I win
Or will it be I forever buried within.

High among the stars they say
Lives a great and mighty King
According to the book of ancient
He created everything
Somewhere amongst those stars
In this book it has been said
If one takes a moment just to listen
The songs of angels can be heard
Among those stars they say He dwells
Awaiting the right moment in time
When he will lower Himself from heaven
To come and take His people home
Somewhere among those stars I see
Only darkness nothing more
Is this book of ancient false or true?
Or just written for mans imagination

The city is like a wicked temptation
At day a concrete jungle
Cold and made of stone and aspalt
At night it transforms
And mimics the night sky
With stars sparkling bright
What a magnificent sight
But then the sun rises
And it's nothing but cold stone
Again

The Great King Stands
Above the earth
As thunder rolls beneath
Tears of sorrow
Streams down His face
As His sacred Lamb
Calls out for Grace
My God, My God, Forsake me not!
In a moment of Silence
The King turns away
It cannot be complete
Unless for their sins YOU pay
And as the Son Cries out
It is finished!
Creation in silence held its breath
waiting, anticipating The act of The King
And as He reached down
Into our Realm
The Son wept and said
Eli, Eli! Lama, Sabachthani
And into the hand
Of the Great and Mighty King
His spirit and last breath flowed
And with it, sin forever slain.

Boxes in the hallways
Memories on the walls
Our time together over
A room full of despair

Our lives we always shared
Now nothing but demise
as we cast another stone
to make our heartache known

Butterflies cocooned
A lonely cage of sadness
The thrill of love now gone
wrapped in pain one by one

Closing every curtain
In each and ever room
Shutting out the sunlight
On a love that once took flight

In the end our wishes
Shattered carelessly
Now in cardboard boxes
Lost in animosity

The End

We spin around in circles
Like a merry-go-round on steroids
Chasing empty dreams
Unraveling at the seems
We've tried so many times
To forgive each others crimes
but nothing ever changes
It just gets rearranged
Why do we waste our time
When its clearly our own pride
That keeps us hunting ghosts
But there's really nothing more
Than empty dreams and promises
An ending with no means.

He seeks your life
He seeks your death
Your mind your blood
Your final breath
Inflicting pain
He Breaks your will
stealing your virtue
your voice he stills
his sins tattooed
on your broken heart
And abstract lie
his work of art
Leaving you bleeding
alone in the dark
while you slowly die
your life torn apart

I'm cut open

Torn
Shredded

Yet on the surface
A paper cut
Barely visible

The hurt

In my hand I hold the key
The key that no one else can see
I carry it wherever I go
This key to no one I will show

The door forever I will keep
Barred and locked for all to see
No one will ever enter in
The key I will keep safe within

Behold this key I hold so dear
Will never let anyone draw near
My heart is mine and mine alone
As soft as a feather but hard as stone.

Letting go
  of the pain you sowed
    Is the hardest part
       for my failing heart

A breathless whisper
   A subtle lie
      An innocent love
         Is left to die

But let go I must
    My heart I need to trust
       Its the only way
          I will be okay

Through Painted Glass
Life’s visions are cast
Memories engraved

Along this road
By many travelled
To some a senseless game

Ghosts from the past
Haunts many lives
Wrecking future grounds

Making infertile
Wonderful dreams
Success no where to be found

Under this blanket
Sombre and grey
The past dictator of all

Keeping the future
Locked in a prison
Inside a crimson wall

Where slowly it dies
Never to be found
In a silent grave forever

Ivory and Onyx
The keys that construct
the melody in my heart
Sadness and happiness
Loneliness and blues

Ivory and Onyx
The chords that bind
the song in my soul
forgiveness and hope
love and joy

The Piano
The musician
Perfection

Tears of sorrow wash down my face
Troubled thoughts an endless race
I reach up to heaven
But the clouds are in the way
No light breaks through
These stormy skies
Why is it that I cannot hide
From the truth that I refuse to see
Is it that my fate ever will be
Sorrowful a raging war
Deep inside this stone cold wall
Is there no mercy
No love
No Grace
Will I ever be able to finish the race.

It's the beauty of rain
That washes away my pain
As it showers down
My heartache drowns
Quitening the anger
That causes havoc in my soul
My emotions comatosed
I feel no more

The pendulum of time
Ticks from side to side
Heavily weighted down
Drawing into gravity
Where has time gone?
Where did we go?
How did I lose you?
How did you disappear?
Time… the only thing we have
Yet time… the only thing that can pass.

You push and pull
I scream and curse
It's a deadly pill
Filled with remorse

We try harder
But fail more
Run further
Keeping a score

You win this time
I win the next
I lose what is mine
And become more vexed

It's time to let go
There's nothing left
Another senseless row
Love, dead and bereft

I'm tired
mentally wired
strung tight like a snare
about to snap
The End.

A familiar melody
floats through the air
it echos from afar
just a memory
mere empty ashes
left over from the wreckage
of our lives
Too many wars
left battle scars
Too many fights
countless lonely nights
Now there's no way back
You're on that side
I'm on this side
And that's how it will stay

How did time pass so fast
How could I think it will last
Forever and always and a day
I sit here now with nothing to say
Yesterday so careless and free
Today, what have we left to see
Friends or acquaintances?
What are we now?
We promised forever
We will always be true…
But I guess forever
Was to long for me and you.
I still think of you every day,
And somehow wonder
What I could say
But words are few
In this mind of mine
I guess I just couldn’t stand
The test of time.
Even if we still talk and laugh
There is a quietness between us
Something precious has died
Washed away by the tide
But even if this is so,
In my heart I will always know
Memories of a friend
Who meant the world to me
His face in my minds-eye
I will always see
And maybe one day
When you look back
You could, just maybe forgive me….
Maybe…
My dearest friend

I loved you
I married you
I lost you
Tragedy

This Tug of War
An emotional storm
We scream and fight
Slamming doors
Cry and accuse
Throwing out clothes
Opinions forced down
In a whirlpool of abuse
We hack at each other
Around every turn
Throwing our love
in a furnace to burn
till there's nothing left
but smoke and ashes

Lord I turn to you
In this hour of grace
Just to be in your presence
And see your lovely face
So many times
I take for granted
The mercies that you show
Not thinking of the pain I cause
Every time I let you go.
All you ask is love and devotion
But my selfish needs comes first
I yearn for you in all your glory
But will give nothing in return
And here Lord as I am today
I go on my knees and pray
That every day you’ll renew my mind
And teach me what to say
The time has come for me to give
What you so much longed for
Not gold or silver or earthly goods
Not worship or songs of praise
But me oh God I give myself
To do with as you please

ugh
I hate you
you hurt me
and I wont let you
no more
never
ugh

Uncertainty Hangs overhead
Like a cloud of fog rolling ahead
Distorting views and opinions
Pushing them into oblivion
Until all that's left is emptiness
And all that's seen is heartbreak
