confusion clouds my brain
I remember past
I have forgotten present
fog clouds my brain
new memories fade
old memories seem new
time is an item
memories are dreams
life is substance
death is the end to reality
the fog fades my sanity remains

calm is the ocean
an ocean so fierce
an ocean of memories
a sea of flame
a world
a mind
a sound
all one
all the same
all the difference
a thought
the shape of a memory
change
gravity
time
distance
all words
all meaning
always changing
the sea of a mind

the sun has abandoned the forsaken ones
the forsaken do not heed the distant cries of wind telling them of the loathing that shadows the sun
the forsaken blind to their tyranny
blissful ignorance fills their
troubled thoughts
behold the sun is stricken with
hatred for ignorant fools that
choose once more to stifle the wind that spoke wisdom to the forsaken
once more the sun takes its beauty light and wisdom elsewhere for it can suffer this tyranny of fools no more

A vast intertwined thing
      floating
                  flowing
      forever
                  cycling
           has but one beginning
                     yet meets
                                   no
                               E
                                    n
                                         d
       current rushing
                              waves clashing
              cyclone swirling
                          it melts
                                    when faced
                                           with the sun
                                  storm cloud
                         a drop of rain    
                                       a temporary creak
                                                 flowing
                              water fall
                                          stream
                                                     river
                                                               pond
                                               lake
                                   sea
                                              Ocean
                                         forever rising
                                                     forever falling
                                                       drip
                                                              drop
                                                      drip
                                                             drop.

A bird falls
a broken wing
Its halo shattered
for no more will it fly
for no more will it sing of
the breath of wind
beneath its wings
a broken halo
with light
that shines
with stars
no more
with
a bird
that used
to fly
The poem above was inspired by
  Chris Stapleton’s song Broken halos

bright
in a sea dark as night
colors explode
in the cosmos
stars are grains of sand
planets created
planets implode
the suns are countless
beyond the sky
lies wonders untold
colors like fire works explode
but beware within this vast beauty
like the wonders untold
there are dangers unknown
dangers to behold
and yet admire the scene before you
for now you view it from afar
in the future you
may admire among the stars
but be warned once more
remember great beauty
can hide greater darkness

limitless the sky seems
breath taking is the view around me
the birds take flight
clouds of fluff
mountains of dust
limitless as the sea
the world is
ever so calm around me
a silence settles
for once every thing
is peaceful
every thing
seems right

Like a stream of tears
       they fall
drops of glass
             break upon impact
the sky turns gray
                   they fall
        they dance
                         they break
           their fall has ended
behind they leave
     crystals upon
   the grass
         the trees
                     the sun rises
       they last no more
they rise to the clouds
    they gather once more
until
down
        they
               pour
                       once
                               more
                  the
    process
begins
         with
               no
                end
        for
all
      of
       time
             their fragile cycle repeats  
for
           they
                 have
                        no
                              end
                                     to
                                        meet

Land and sky clash
wars of tyranny
and rage
peace a stranger
Savagery a friend
the world lies
to waiting ears
ears seeking truth
hear lies of a world
so torn that truth
is painful
while lies are bittersweet
till the end of time
the war
scars time
the war
is left
nothing more
nothing less
the war
Ignited our reality
scavenged our minds
and broke the
fragile glass
of eternity.

searching in darkness
glancing into the light
scavenging through books
sifting through notes
a hidden memory
a lost smile
will the child ever return
the one I buried in my heart
the child knew the meaning
the child
was me
long forgotten
the meaning of life is lost
so is the child I once was

Bird that chases the wind
Child of wild things
Kid of the forest
Play now with the lost ones
Listen to their song of melody
The song is sung
Far away
Lies
A land of dreams
A land lost to history
Close your eyes
Imagine its trees
Imagine the palace
Painted by dreams
Sing along
Now child wake from your dream

life is a wonderland of fun
everyday you gaze up at the sun
the only thing that ruins it
the coma
living life through a dream seems fun
but slowly your body is shutting down
isn't life fun

stars collide
the world has ended
       the world has just begun
  the sky is close
      the ground is far
soaring above
       clouds
               stars
     every thing you know
is below you
        your future remains above
you watch as galaxies collide
                 your memories slowly fade
        everything fades
  until
    everything and nothing
are
     the
           same

I wounder through life
my vision clouded
trapped in a daze
slowly I fall and catch myself
walking
slowly down life's road
staring at the world through
my foggy haze
I contemplate what
gives my life meaning now
out loud I state
nothing

dreams
create  memories
dreams
a fantasy
dreams
an alternate reality
dreams
give
take
create fears
create stories
dreams
a escape from reality
dreams come at a price
the price to pay
differs each day
dreams can tell future
past
present
dreams
the limit is your imagination

As light  
            as day
      as dark as night
              calm
                   when
                          fierce
                 brave
                        when
                               frightened
                        gleeful mask
                                 when
                                        saddened
                                intelligent
                                             yet
                                                 daft
                                complete when together
                                            half a heart
                                                     when apart
                                       Yin
                                               and
                                                        Yang
                                               forever disagreeing
                                                             yet
                                                                       never apart

cold
a gentle bliss
snow dances across the sky
a cold winter night
frost twinkling
it seems the world
is enchanted
by this wonder
this beauty
a timeless grace
a fantasy in reality
and yet
like all good things
it must come to an end
it whispers
with its last cold breath
fair well
until we meet again

fire fills the air
               it whispers in the wind
           it soars above
    it's whispers carry
         wonders foreign
                          yet familiar
                                       the past turned to ash
                                the future
                             the fire wonders
             is the future near
                       and yet it realised
        the future is far
                                    not in distance
                           not in reality
           but in time
                     what the future holds
                                       the flame waits to see

it holds
my dearest things
treasures new and old
my memories
the box tattered and old
even though it's broken so
no amount of money
no amount of gold
can compare to the worth
this box holds
even though it's small
it has endured
moments
painful
bitter
and moments
sweet
serene
from these moments
these memories
the box is scarred
for that box is cherished
for this no one can buy
a box showered
in tears
showered in love
when others ask about this box
I simply say
in this box
memories are contained
this box is a treasure that cannot
be bought
or borrowed
some respond with
but it's just a box
I say otherwise
but who knows
maybe it's just a
box tattered and old

wind breaks
barrier
sound takes
light
spontaneous
sounds fill
Children’s
eyes with
wonder  
a vision ceases
the world returns
to black
and white
we are alone in a
void deprived of sound
once more
and we realize
reality is dull
dull but utterly painful
the void encases
us
once more
we return to
the darkness
but we see
a fragment
a small ray
of light penetrating
the darkness
once more hope
arises
as the sun collides
with darkness
we see light
the darkness fades
we return to a reality
a reality painfully
right even thought
we wish to
disperse once more

ice coats the sky
it falls in sheets
like dust
the sky clears
the ice falls
ice like snow
once more the ragging river flows
the ice melts
the white coat it leaves
remains

the bridge falls
the glass breaks
planets collide
the future is the past
the past is a mistake
everything and nothing is the same
reality breaks
fantasy consumes your mind
a book is written
a story is forged
the sword in the stone
the crystal skulls are real
the lost is found
the reasons are written in stone

A violent wind
anguish clouds my vision
air abandons my lungs
limbs frigid
awake yet
my heart motionless
waiting
wanting
to leave this place
eyes turn to glass
skin unchanged
a tear stains my face

eyes cracked like glass
tear drops shatter to the ground
a porcelain doll
broken cracks mock her face
even though she looks broken on the outside
inside her fragile shell
lies something
a thousandfold
worse

Lingering in the darkness
once they were light
now dark as midnight
they bring only fright
their hearts once made of gold
broken from tragedies untold
where respect was once written
bitter words are stricken
so in the shadows they hide
from the pain they hide
quiet words are uttered
as if one whisper
would shatter
their soul
the one who speaks such fragile words
grants them hope once more
a new light unfolds
in a land of shadows light appears
the saddened
the grief stricken
the ones with tragedies untold
are illuminated
the shadows of darkness have lost their hold
their hope makes them once again bold
trust is fragile
so are soles
trust is earned by ones
with
kind words
bright hearts
a small amount of hope
can inspire others
to shoot for the stars

I wait in darkness
I wait in light
all ways waiting
  why you ask
do I wait
well  I respond
why does the wind whisper
why do the streams flow
why do birds fly
I respond
I simply wait
I wait patiently
I wait for someone
who you ask
that I respond
I don’t know
I am the one who waits
The reason I’ve told
but patiently
I will wait
for a person
a person I will only know
When they ask me why
I wait.

a heart is glass
surrounded by walls of stone
no one gets in
no one gets out
only one holds the key
a key not like
the ones you see
this key encased
in the hand of a soul
has no equal

electricity fills the air
a strike
a ray of light
falls from the heavens
a tree turns to ash
a ray of light is pure
a ray of light is fire
the sky clears
all is calm
but something is gone
missing
the sky goes dark once more

white dust like
bone
a skeleton in the closet
a knock on the door
a broken bell rings out
a ghost answers
politely asking
can you find my body
another person ran away
another eternity to wait

High school
                    a mad house
           pushing and shoving
                       with no apologies
                              people lose their manners
                     no one cares if the person they
                               shove falls
                   they keep walking
                            only caring about
                                          their destination
                                not about
                                           the people they hurt
                             most people don't care

                            high school
                                       the place were
                                     people don't care
                             and almost
                                            every
                                                      one
                                                             loses
                                                                       their
                                                                               manners

a breath of air
a laugh in the darkness
no one is there
who cares to hear
loud words ignored
bravery labeled ignorance
they look as if I'm speaking a foreign language
why do they always turn and run
do my words scare them
or am I in the wrong

endless sadness
I put on my mask
my friends see what I let them
never glancing through
illusions I create
smile
laugh
nothing real
silent thought
the irony of it
even believing it myself
new crush one day
setting them up with
friend the next
mask is stuck
never know
never see
the real me

The whisper in the wind
        a shadow among the trees
from a house a figure flees
      a light appears
        the figure disappears
  the only witness is the wind
              or
                   is
                        it
                            the shadow
                                                hidden  in the trees

fire
flame
ash like rain
darkness
an old memory
music
shadows
flash of light
then nothing
I fade away
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
is it the end
or has it only just begun

It flys with wings of stars
It travels to galaxies near and far,
It tells its stories to all
the stories are as old as time itself,

the beings have betrayed the dragon
for they have stolen the dragons voice,

The dragon has let its brethren seek revenge on the ones who now hunt the dragon,

the dragons are now gone but you can still hear the dragons stories drifting in the wind.

darkness
a spark
cloaked in shadows
walking through
a growing flame
playing with fire
an addicting symphony
toxic words
bittersweet lies
to each their own poison

a small laugh
red velvet ice cream
sweet childhood
the ice cream falls
I cry out
food poisoning befalls me
in illness I disdain the scarlet food
but now I think of it with fondness
how carefree that day was
parents laughing
smiling the day away
but why did it end so
I miss those carefree days
without a bitter thought or worry
but as it always does a blissful youth must come to an end

Ever changing
forever shifting
the glass breaks
the water falls
tides and currents
fight land
water keeps no prisoners
water spares no land
It breaks all in its path
the land trembles in terror
the ocean attacks
once more
the water calms
the tide returns to sea
the battle
has stopped
for now
the storm
has subsided
but take heed
once more
for the land
foreshadows
the sea will
return once again
to seek out
hateful revenge
only than
the storm will meet its
fateful
end

a shadow darkened my doorstep
a wayward soul drowning in deprivation of final rest
the phantom wails in sorrow
without eternal rest it weeps
what do I have
why must I stay behind
what gives my soul such restlessness
with a whirl of wind the specter is whisked away

the face of my clock
a fake smile
a forced laugh
slowly I notice
my emotions are fake
when did it start
when did I stop
a hollow place in my heart
I wonder if anyone sees through them
I listen for the clock for the ticking has stopped

the mask is broken
my emotions battle for control
no one understands
what I've been hiding
the feelings I've trapped
as if a dam has burst emotions flood my brain
my heart is now my sleeve
lets see how fast they break it

scarlet hood
run
I’m trailing behind you
hide and seek
lets play
I catch you every time you run away
run little red
the wolf is coming
falling through space
I taste the atmosphere
closing in
I reach out
caught you!
falling
fall
fading away
will they ever find us
good bye little one
adue
I will see you with god

a flash of light
blinding sun
Im falling
into the endless abyss
the light is gone
darkness has risen
I cannot wake from this endless slumber
I fall into the waves of darkness
