Lapping Seas, Warming Sands*

Warm sand meshes around my feet
as I walk forward and take a seat.
Baby blues glance forward at the sight:
at the yellow orb and its sorrowful flight.

Half-moon in shape, it starts to set
Where water and sea have forever met.
Pink, orange, and yellow reflect the sky
As I feel your warmth and hear you sigh.

Behind us lies the lurking dark,
But it has not yet left its mark.
For the teal of the ocean is like a spell
And under it I have fortunately fell.

Created here is the perfect evening
Love by my side, love never-ending.
With you tonight is where I belong,
On the sand, in your arms, this is my song.

Uneasy Agony

Uneasy Agony*

The pain
Rips, tears and pulls apart
Inside-out.

Explosive inside
Yet the tears can never slide.

Anger at first,
It takes control
Losing focus
Losing control.

Soiled and forgotten
Silent mind, silent mode
Talking to no one
Because no one knows.

Electricity sparks
A message comes to play
Angst turns to sorrow
Anguish is the game.

Pain succumbs.
Overpowering all
Guilt rides like a 'stang
Bucking, never-ending all.

Wretchedness drags to floor
Down without a fight
Tears fill the room
A silent ring, a silent night.

World That I See

World That I See

Looking through my eyes
Would you be scared to see,
The world of chaos, of shattered dreams
…the world that I see?

Look through my eyes
And you'll see the lies
The deception and the betrayal.

Look through my eyes
And you'll see the fights
Of unresolved conflicts and peril.

Look through my eyes
You'll see the happiness
And pain, hidden behind music.

Days pass, faces fade, faces turn away
Away from shame, towards the game
But the last pawn will be placed soon.

Looking through my eyes
You'd see the friends
You'd see the turmoil
You'd see the world that I see.

Butterflies so Surreal

Butterflies So Surreal*

The butterflies within my heart
Feel so very surreal
I never thought I'd see the day
That our love we both could feel.

It happened so fast; a couple of weeks
Almost like magic with a flick of the wrist.
I hear your compliments flow through my heart
When your love showers me like a never-ending mist.

You tried to coax my feelings out
Through you were the first to fall
Your personality outshines all others
I only could pick three words to tell: Handsome, dark and tall.

I've never felt this way before
And I mustn't tell a lie
These feelings that I feel for you
Are so much more than surreal butterflies.
