i will, i must
I sit by watching the time
As the hours pass me by

Every moment
I’m without you

It feels like something
Has blocked my view

But I know
If I look hard enough

All I see
Is a day for us

A reason to live
And I will, I must

You are the reason that I breath

And I will, I must

For every step I take

And I will, I must

Because I cannot make

And I will, I must

Make sense of what is real

And I will, I must

I live my life for you

And it’s you, I love

Visual Shrine
Trying so hard to not let you down
Making you smile, deflecting your frowns

I lost myself, somewhere on my way
But in your eyes, I now know what to say

Seeing is believing
It’s pretty easy when you have Faith

I don’t want you to worry
All I can do is promise
All I can say is sorry

At the edge of the earth I will stand
And wait, forever

I will wait for the rest of my life
Waiting for you, I will always be

My promises not empty
I swear to set you free

I see you
Can you see me?

Envoid
Sanctified by light an endurance of sacrifice
Leaving empty a void,
A part of his heart that is gone, for such a time

A piece of time not lost in defeat
But one that is hidden by light

Until the light is gone and the glare has passed
The truth will be revealed at last
This Endeavor called life will come to a close
And happiness will resume its old
I wrote this a few months ago and came across it and blew my own mind. Enjoy you guys!

The Perfect View
Flower in your hair
Flowers in the air
God, how I wish that I could be there

Holding you close
Holding you tight

Reminding you that
Everything’s alright

I got a feeling in my stomach
And these words are from it
And I’m thinking of you

Every smile that I place
Upon your pretty face
Is another step closer
To living the dream

Being with you
Oh, what a view
I’m thinking of you

rEVOLution
The security of love
The comfort of home
       The sun is above
    Yet I'm still
       So alone

The Earth is my heart
The Sun is my lust
       So I stand in the dark
    For I know
       I must

Avoiding my lust
Indulging my trust
       I stare at the sun
    But I know
       I can't touch
Something beautiful came out last night.
I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Twelve Days
Twelve long days since I saw you
   Twelve more days have passed
Twelve less days for my wait
   Oh how time goes so fast

I miss you so, you should know
   I wish that time could fly
For in the end, I'll tell you so
   How time just
      Flew
         On

Affirmation
It's hard not to think of you
our love, so tried and true

The distance tears me apart
Bit by little bit
Because i know how hard I've tried
It's far too late to quit

If seeing is believing
How come I still have Faith

Because I know how hard I've tried
You're still so worth the wait.

Heart So Blue
Witness my existence
        Living pointless life

When living is your only motive
Searching for the light

My efforts aren’t futile
Intentions, tried and true

For living life is pointless
Because I’m without you

Reasons are unknown
For why I seem to breathe

My breath for now is wasted
How can a heart be so blue

For living life is pointless
Until I’m with you

Disposition
People are disposable
People are trash

The fact your ******* life
Can be gone in a flash

You don’t deserve your breath
You don’t deserve your life

You have violated
Someone else’s
Human rights

Dead or Alive
You’re going to pay

Don’t let your delusions
Bring you dismay

Dismay to your fate
Dismay to your face

I know a few good people
That’ll put you in your place
I was pretty angry when I came up with this. Enjoy!

Eyes Lie
Living out the rest of my life
Through someone else’s eyes.
See them for who they are
Not what they ought to be.
Seeing through these lies
The truth will set you free.
The guilty ones, they know
They know that it’s not me.

Spring Time Sunshine
I long for the time, for the sun to shine
The time’s not come, the time’s not now
I know in time, I’ll make you mine
It’s a matter of when, not of how

I’m waiting for Spring Time

You know it’s really hard to do
To think of anyone but you
When you’re always on my mind

I’m waiting for Spring Time

I’m out of action, for just a time
For I am now, without sunshine

Sinking Ship
They call me the ship
They all want to sail

I feel so abandoned
So destined to fail

All hope is lost, all hope is gone
A sinking Vessel and I’m starting to drown

For the ocean of tears
And the island of fears

All hope is lost, all hope is gone
A sinking Vessel and I’m starting to drown

Ingratitude
The sadness in one’s life
Can ruin one’s writing
No matter how sad
Or how good at fighting

The person who tries so hard
To please everyone
Thankless, Hopeless
Sad

Efforts futile
Trial wasted
Maybe someday
I’ll be appreciated

Running on empty
For far too long
Maybe someone
Will hear this song
The excitement and the wonder you bring me day by day
Is too much to ignore and because it never goes away
I tell you everyday how much you mean
How often you invade my dreams
You know your pokes of affection
Are the utmost of my attention
And every word you speak
And what it means to me
The beauty that waits
Hidden from me
Shall never
Be erased

On Speaking
Speak not for the sake of reaction.
Speaking is to take action.
Speaking requires contribution.
So why anonymously contribute?
How can a speaker write without someone to listen?
When the audience is the thinker’s heart it shall not matter.
Not by the power of the words one uses.
But by the power of the meaningfulness.
Relevance to self is all that matters.
Because relevance to self is what created the idea in the first place.

Forbidden Fruit of Barbados
Forbidden fruit of Barbados
Oh how she glows.

Sectional sweetness
Bitter in aftertaste

My favorite things in life
Always seem to be similar

Maybe because
I prefer the familiar

The curve and the shape
Contour and ripe

As I slice thee in half
I notice your walls

Serrated spoon in hand
Showing gratitude toward the land

For it bears blessed fruits
The fruit blesses me

Upon receiving sour
Bite after bite

The bitterness sets in
Night after night

Grapefruit makes me happy
Grapefruit makes me smile

I hope that I don’t get sick
At least not for a while
I love grapefruit, I just hope it doesn't make me sick!!

The Opposite of Golden
Your silence always scares me
The sound of you alone
I wish that you were free
The same I wish for me

Our situation unmatched
Constant and misunderstood
It’s hard to stay relaxed
Tense and no desire for even food

Motivation almost gone
Without you I’m alone
I orbit, you the sun

The things I wish are not that much
Simply the sound of your voice

Is it just too much to ask
To have just what I want

For my needs are not selfish
Conceited, or malevolent

You are all I sought

Inception
Forget every single thing that you were told
Power through inception; for only you – behold

Your pathways through time
You’re sure to grow old

The magic, the fortune of love
The gift, the spirit of your soul
The power, through inception
Never to be replaced or forgotten

Through the Rayne & through Shine
You should know that you’re mine
If you think otherwise
Know that it’s LIES

Forget every single thing that you were told
Power through inception; only for you – behold

The magic, the gift, the feeling of up-
Lifting the weight of the world in just your hands
You don’t know the pain
But I still can tell that you understand
I wrote this for my younger sister Emma Rayne Melton when she had to receive corrective eye surgery due to a hereditary trait in my family.

Born To Be Famous
You were born to be famous
This is something that I’m sure of
I can see you being a famous model.
I can see you being a popular artist.
I see you being a powerful poet.
I see you being an inspiring writer.
I see you doing many things, many things with me.
I see you in my future and always in my dreams.
You were born to be famous
I hope you know this too.
No matter what you do
You will always succeed.

Patience with Faith
Faith, patience, perfection
Truly one of a kind
Words cannot define
Emotions in my mind
But the thought
Of seeing you again
Makes me smile
Falling forward
The depths of longing
Live my life
Live yours too
In the end
I know we’ll be there soon

— The End —
