A stream flows
In a dark place
Sunlight flitting in
Making its own plays
Uncovering the face

The silence isn't deafening
Except it lacks hearts that are beating
Wishers and wishing wells
Womb of unbridled starts
Building of the building blocks

Aeons pass
And the stream never stops
For its dormancy
Was well worth the stop
Aeons will pass
And the stream won't cease
Like the falling leaves
Like the summer breeze
And the wintry trees

Though nothing stays forever
There exist eternities
All the times that have ever been
Are or someday will ever be
Turned into a soliloquy

A stream flows
In my soul
Revolutions cascading
Mocking all and making
Teaching and reminiscing
I wrote this because of a realization triggered by a friend's death.
Life is short. Life is tangled. Life is rough.
But it is also rewarding. It is linked to each other. It is worth living.

People die. But life shall live. And we shall be a part of it.
And that we cherish them, cherish each other, cherish this opportunity. No requirement for gratuity, but the realization that we won't live forever.

Words that form, have no meaning.
The truth I speak,
Isn't the truth.
Alone in this new life of mine,
Imprisoned in this cage built by my own hands.
The directions are a blur,
As my feet step on thorns.
I lament my fall, I cry out in despair.
A song bereft of word or rhyme.
Falling to oblivion that lures me in,
Promising happiness like a lullaby.
Fallen.
*Promise.
I seem to have become a passive observer, watching my body carry on its daily functions. When will I return home?

There is something in the wind and I cannot let you go.
Hold my hand, take a breath
There is someone in my bed and I cannot forget your moans.
Erase my mind, wipe my cries
There are some times I see you and I kiss you on your nose.
*Tell me you love me.
You are my home.

Turn Off The Lights
What do you do when something that was supposed to go right goes left?
How do you fix it?
How do you fix the mistake?
Perhaps it wasn't even yours.
But you still need to fix it somehow.
You need to make it right again.
You need to find solutions.
How do you fix it?

*How do I fix it?
How did it even get broken?

The lighter I lit my first cigarette with
The lighter that gave me my first burn
The lighter that I drew band logos on
The lighter my best friend gave me
The lighter my best friend stole for me
The lighter that was in my pocket when I kissed a girl for the first time
The lighter I still keep even though it doesn't light
The fire that accidentally set my carpet on fire
The lighter that guided me through the tunnels
The lighter that fell out of my pocket when I kissed the boy I loved
The lighter I love
The lighter who's love is not returned
The lighter that fell on the floor in class
The lighter that got me written up
My lighter
The lighter I can't refill
The lighter with no purpose
Only memories
The lighter
My lighter
My perfect lighter

We are all going to die.
We are all going to be forgotten.
It doesn't matter if your grave is six feet deep and three feet wide,
Or if your body was slung over the side,
of a boat in motion
from hands devoid of emotion
We all end up just the same.
Decayed and rotten.
Forgotten.
If that isn't Equality,
I don't know what is.

cheryl love
Away from everything
and everyone.
Isolated.
Shut off.
Closed down.
By oneself
Fear.
Is this an emotion?
Or is it a joke?
Not very funny
It's a sunny day
Clouds broke
parted company
No humour
No wit
This is it
the horse held the bit
between its teeth
Like a wreath
on a door
Lonely.
The horse by itself
among the hay.
Paying the price of isolation
a sad matter of opinion
An isolation
Desperate times call for deperate measures
A bird in a forgotten nest without feathers
without food isolated from the world with
no bit in its beak, not even a little bit
just lonely, the word I am using quite a lot
Because I forgot the plot as it were.
Isolated, do not get me started
my feelings parted long ago
It is complicated.

WILLIAM WORTHLESS
while i was in the park on a moonlight night
i saw a lovely vision of angel all in white
she had great big wings and a big halo
all her around her head it began to glow

reaching out her hand she flew away with me
took me to her heaven to her land so free
showed me all around her heaven up above
peaceful and serene filled with so much love.

i felt so secure free from any harm
in this land above filled with so much charm
the vision disappeared the angel flew away
i still see that vision to this very day.

Love is like a fire.
When it starts, it starts with a spark,
Then the friction builds up into passionate heat.
It's released with flames,
until it reaches up and warms the heart.
If not given careful care and affection,
It disappears into ashes.
But if tended to correctly,
It slows to an ember that burns forever.

Firefly
The ink crawled down my throat,
Mixing with the blood,
Without a boat.
They sneered at the dare,
Cruel friends,
Open-mouthed stare.
A fire kindled deep within,
They still laughed,
My eyes watered,feelling a sting.
Foam at my mouth,
Stupid urge to pout.
Distracting the feeling of fall,
Shouts all around.
Abhorrent playground.
No one continued to notice the frail,pale boy on the ground.
Ardor of death,
Feeling of dread,
Tasting someone's cold breath,
My soul,wispy,fragile threads.
Suddenly my eyes closed,
Devoid of feeling,
My end fate chosed.

LeaveThisLife
I don't drink diet soda
I don't count my calories
What even is a carb
I eat McDonald's fries
I get lazy and skip a workout
I cant eat salad without dressing
I love cake, candy, sugar, etc.
I can eat a whole pizza by myself
I like to wear things to try to fit in
I talk about people behind their back
I wear make up
I get mad at my parents
I ask for too much
I expect too much
I try too hard to fit in
I'm 16, 125 lbs, and 5'2"
Go ahead, judge me
See if I care.
