Our stars light the sky
In the gathering dark of
A lonely city

My candle bearer
Carry the light of gods love
Out into this world
Once, when people were pure and innocent, there was a box that they were told never to open. However, man opened it anyways and unleashed all the evils unto the world. Envy... greed... pride... violence... control... All that was left in the box was a single ray of light: Hope. We now confront those evils... And you are that last ray of light, our only hope.
The pain is long gone
But this feeling lingers on
Why do you haunt me?
I've seen the people
They have tombstones in their eyes
Dying to get high
And though she was blind
Her eyes shined with inner light
And love beyond words
I met a blind woman today and when she looked into my eyes I saw something incredibly profound that I still cannot explain. This haiku is my best attempt to put that feeling into words.
Memories of you
Cannot fill these empty arms
Pride can't keep me warm
With each passing glance
We're all looking for someone
Behind strangers eyes
I'm the cold hard ground
But she is the gentle rain
That makes flowers grow
The sun don't seem bright today
And there's clouds in the sky

You're just not yourself today
But there's no reason why

You're talking
Crazy
Words in disguise

They see you
Struggling
Hiding your eyes

You say it's in self defense
You tell yourself lies

When you hurt the ones around you
You're not the one who cries

You turn to
Anyone
You can cling to for a day

Gripping
But slipping
On the ground in your way

So be here now
Someway, somehow
We won't be here again

I promise you
When this is through
I'll still be here my friend

Until the end
Dancing to the sea
The river will cease to be
But the sea grows strong
