This hurt..
known all too well

This pain
I can't help but dwell

The love
all but stripped away

Replaced
now only emptiness leads the way

Bare
Beware the pale horse
Who rides at dawn
From the wells of sorrow
His gait was drawn

Across the plains of snow
Unto the barren field
Ceaseless can he be
He can't afford to yeild

The benifactor thus unknown
To fabricate our faith
Shall carry upon his back
All that has to wait

The still pond lies
Its whipers are obscene
The pale horse is comming
This you can believe

He's passed the ancient grove
Before we knew of love
He's rode across the meddows
And waded through the mud

With a weary head he watched
And kept the toll
With blind eyes of age
Barer of the soul

Stream
In a time not so long ago
When I had no hope,
Steam raising from a gleaming stream
In the middle of lavish mountains so serene,

The golden water rolled into a pond
And how it happened I do not know,
There I stood knee deep in the waters of tomorrow
I took slow steps not to disturb
the calm waters there that lie

I laid at the cool waters edge motionless as if dead
The water danced with the wind
I wished that the splendidness would never end
A gray stone in the middle of the pond, alone

Remembrance of the world, beauty all around that no one knows
The sun a redder glow, leaped across the waters low
The majestic trees caught the sun, and long did it seem to hold them
The light could not get away, there it sat and long it stayed

A place where uplifting winds forgot
No sorrow could ever be brought
A shrine to us from god, the kingly trees slowly nod

Birds from the heavens drift down to drink
The water gently ripples about their beaks
Leaves lay at rest upon the earths breast
Still and undisturbed for so long it seems to me

Only angels dance upon ground so soft
Humans find beauty and then get lost
The sun began to sink, and the waters slowly recede

Up a waterfall it traveled
I stood and ran after
but soft leaves had turned to gravel
The moon began to rise, as did the less happy skies

Ran and hid did the trees, now only houses
lay gathererd in front of me
All beauty must sleep, and sleep it did
But how I wish it would come again

In my bed I did lay long, the sounds of the forest in my head a song
And as I faded from reality I caught a glimpse
Of the golden stream of reverence

Lay me low
beside myself
tonight

Feeling high
existentially
inside

Drunken emotions
sovereignty
and loneliness
Thanksgiving '11
This time last year

Across the Universe
I have crossed the  universe
To lands you can not stay
Sauntered through the dreams of midnight
And crossed the corridors of day

I watched the stars hang their heads
As morning came to be
She tucked them away into their beds
And extinguished their misery

I took the shot with Virgo
She truely is my queen
I left her shorlty after
To smoke on dragon wings

Lightning streaks the sky
When new addictions are born
And if you drift to close
Your life will be absorbed

Not sure if  I can leave
Anytime real soon
But if you catch me down
Fix me to the moon.
Losing love to drugs is defeat..
****** shall be the death to he..

A Tragedy
Emotions like the fall of Rome
Sadness sits high upon the throne

Glory, grander, that slowly fade
Melancholy into the sunlight bade

From the shadows in which it hid
To rear its prideful head again

And under the coliseum lie
Life before childhood died

So discontent a simple notion
Sorrow is a lowly emotion

And aqueducts lead unto my eyes
Water flows with no reprise

For the ones who understand
The life that hangs from golden strand

Simply reverberating with discord
For into my back the knife did bore

Et tu, Brute?
Is all that can be said
Now lie my happiness dead

The ides of March so have come about
Leaving in heart and soul no doubt

That the pillars fell to rest
And joy was put to death

Ascending
You were on your way
I watched you kiss the stars

And I heard them say
They were taking you away

A beauty unsurpassed sacrificed by sky
Sent you there to lie
In the heavens high

A million blind stares still looking for a trace
Just to catch a glimpse of your silhouetted face

From the sun their feeble sight goes
With the vibrant color of a rose

So your holy soul we imbue
With this such mornings view
Your soul still sits upon the horizon

Angel you had made your way
I miss you Ashleigh Nicole.
You ******* away
with the games you play,
and I cant seem to see
why you do this to me,

Why?

I don't get in a relationship, fall in love
and expect you to leave,
but you did..

You see i'm content to live in this fallace,
that I hope and pray will come true some day,
so I hold on..

Because letting goo, to me, means
believing I was wrong about you

You..

You were thee one or so it seemed,
happiness for us was no longer just a dream,
no distant resistance as far as I could see,

You wanted me
back then..

What changed and when.?
answer me this please and I swear i'll leave
you alone

"its for thee best"
or so you say
I still haven't seen how they correlate

but in you I trust all though, I know,
it isn't wise..

Please don't ignore my cries
for closure.

*Please don't decieve me.

Autumn Chill
Break the mortal chain,
And dissever its golden coils
All that is, is meant to be undone

The bitter frosts of autumn
They dance upon my lips
And settle low the ground
To steal a flowers breath
And lay them now into their beds
Beyond this mortal stretch

Long for spring my dear,
When winter is in the air
For if we do expire
I will be waiting there

Just a girl who writes.
I’m just a girl who writes, not a writer.
My pen doesn’t leave eloquence and
the ink doesn’t stain with elegance.

The words used, can’t find rhyme
and symbolism becomes buried deep
within my own mind.

My words become a mess,
piled with knotted thoughts
attached to nonsense.

Small bursts of courage from a spark of intuition,
and I find myself struggling for breath
since I seem to be buried down into this hole
with nothing but my own emotions left,

You’ll find my hands raw
trying to climb out of this chaos.

So, this is my savior,
a sense of reprieve
from a world that’s become so cruel
from a world that now stays existentially cold.

My ghost and I
she whispered secrets by my ear, while I slept and tried to dream
she told me the wonders of the world
and described cities I would never see

through her words – people, things, and feelings showed
any possible nightmares that decided to crop up
would be hushed away under her ghostly touch

and once my body settled into the sheets
the stories would commence
her tales would begin

I woke up this morning with the strongest urge to message my brother
And I all I could think to say was, I love you so so much..
There's this fire that is inside me, almost completely burning me up
Anger, hurt, resentment, tension, anguish
And yet I can't give any of it up..
I want to yell and scream and tell him of my pain but i digress...
I repress all of this violence inside and succumb to the sadness which is all that's left
To wake with this thought is something I surely did not expect
For the last few months my life has been a wreck
Constantly shaking, with panicked breaths
I could find no comfort in where I laid my head
All. Because. Of. Him.
I was strangled in my own home by the uncertainty of his character
I was withered and had been beaten
Completely had gave up
But today my love was strong and needed an outlet
I wished only to hug him and give his hair a rub
I wished only to laugh and feel his touch
He used to be my savior, the knight in shining armor
Big brother protect me from all there is to harm me..
I needed you as a young one and there you always were
but now I find I've grown and no longer feel secure
This is just a long big rant, my feelings are unending
I just hope that someday the love I have can save you, they way it did for me
I hope to have you forever, my brother whom I need..
This cloud which has settled roughly over our roof gives me chills me day by day
These needles, and that foil a constant throw away..
My heart still steadily beating for some sort of reprieve, I find my self longing for the way our home used to be..
You can ignore this, its just my adament stance on the anger and hatred I had felt for so long towards my brother and the decisions he has made.. But today i really missed him in the old way,

I take my spot,
Anticipating this moment.
You watch me from the left,
My hands spring forth quickly.
Wouldn't you know it.
Bits and pieces,
Bits and pieces,
Broken away,
No longer whole.
A smile on my face,
Which can't be controlled.
Softly with the tips of my fingers,
Making sure I don't miss much..
I create a little blanket,
To wrap up all this fun.
With a flick of my tongue,
Back and forth,
Back and forth,
I'll seal it off.
Then burn all along it,
And even the ends too.
Now it's ready to hit,
So that's just what we'll do.
Tip to my mouth,
Spark to the front.
Inhale real deep,
Off this blue haze blunt.
The expansion hits me,
My lungs bend under the pressure!
My mind is at ease though,
Whispering it's pleasure!
The cloud pours out forth from me,
To dance around the room.
And to the left I pass it,
For you to consume.
Your out stretched hand meets mine,
You laugh,
Inhale,
Then smile and hold.
You tell me you're proud,
You picked a girl who could roll.

Thoughts upon waking
And these strong
             arms
encircling
       my
waist,
Have carried me
through
time
to
a
safer place,
Where leisurely laying is not a sin,
Where skin to skin is not forbidden,
  Where i can rest my head,
                             Against
                            the
                    lull
­               of
      your
heart,
And never have to wonder,
where you are.

Gone
Lie with me tonight
and I will make love to you,

Hold me tight, make me feel brand new
We'll revel in the waning lights,
with promises of tomorrow

Not knowing if they'll come
I'll kiss you tenderly til dawn
Cause I know, in the morning,
You'll be gone

All of me for you
I leaned into you,
closed my eyes,
and kissed your cheek

Thinking quietly that
you
mean
the
world
to
me.
So here I sit,
Where we have sat,

So here I live
Where we did once,

So here it is,
I'm ready and willing

I make my spot right here and get real comfortable,
For I know it will be quite sometime before I decide to visit again
And with that thought reverberating in my head
I find myself settling into the depths
Of what we call our past

It wraps and curls around me,
hugs me tight
keeps me safe
helps me cope

I wonder what your laugh would sound like in my ears while
We sit here side by side,
The proximity alone, the chance to touch you
Sends shivers running down my spine,

But up from the ground I look to search for you
and the shivers all but run cold
As I start to shake, I fear the wake
that your death has had on my soul

No longer are you next to me
Where we have sat so many times before
No longer will you look to me
With questions I would die to answer
Only for you

No longer can we make Easter,
with baskets of fun
No longer can we make Christmas
with presents under the tree
No longer can we make Halloween
with no you and no me

So here I sit
Where we have sat

And here I cry to make my bed
Upon sheets which you have never laid..
You will forever be my princess,
I love you Ashleigh Nicole
