Wings

Wings so black
That shine like
The moon at midnight

Your wings once white
And now so black
Old souls you are
Great wisdom within

Oh ravens so strong
You heard my cry
You taught me
Eloquence and wise

Such a great gifts
All you birds!

life can be a mystery with stories to unfold
we just never know what our life will hold
each and every chapter we must read with care
to see what lies ahead and what is waiting there.

as we read its story as through life we go.
what the future holds. we just never know.
the mystery of life is there  for us to see
and a happy end we hope that there will be
The passions of my youth
have subsided

Like rivers flowing
towards an iron karmic sea

Chastened, clarified, sublimated, channeled
into the Ocean of Nectar

I am baptized in
Your Holy Sweetness

Reborn in Your
Pure Ambrosial Love
Love doesn't live here in this room, there's only me and you, and the roses covering this floor that take me back to the nights where we knew what we were fighting for...

There's a thousand things to say but I've got just so few words. And every time I hold your hand it reminds me of my own funeral

Cause you take the best of me and you throw it all away. But if you didn't want me for who I am, then why do you still stay? Another nail in this coffin door. Love doesn't live here anymore.

And in the summer we both danced by the fire we built in the sand. But it was too close to the sea And the waves put out the flame that burned in you and me.

But I never wanted things to end like this... We're still holding onto cold hearts. We're still trying to make a spark within our kiss, but it was over from the start. And now we don't make sense anymore and we're dying just to find if we're worth living for.

Cause you take the best of me and you throw it all away. But if you didn't want me for who I am, then why do you still stay? Another nail in this coffin door. Love doesn't live here anymore.

And now I have a blank canvas, but you just fill it all in black. And you leave an empty hole where my heart should be painted at. But I'm learning to take control so I'll paint it red myself. Because I know that you can't paint me properly when you're just wishing I were somebody else.

So I'll let your hand go and I'll take the best of me. I'll learn to make it on my own. Within this dark room I am freed. Another painting on the wall.

Love lives in here after all.
From my acoustic project "Those Summer Nights"

Your words,
they tell tale lies.
You think you're grand,
some kind of god
a high power of a sort
   well I've got news,
your words aren't worth my
two cents so go preach to one of
your little ******
and watch me,
watch me walk out your
door.
   You can entertain so well when
you clear your mind
but at the end of the day
you still cry your tale tale lies
  
nothin but a boy,
nothin but a boy.

In a box
trapped in a box
of darkened despair
no escape to light
feel deprived
no oxygen to breathe
so tight struggle
in your deepest darkest
hour
its a daunting struggle
of a darkened world
in a box
so cold chill as ice
hearts so cold dull
saddened of the fear
crippling with terror
as you shed that lonely tear
in a box
deepened by those thoughts
fighting to escape
for just that bit of air
body trembles just for that
little light
to seek from this box of
dark despair
in a box
so alone so alone
in that darkest hour
just wanting that little air to breathe
just that little light to shine
in the world deep dark despair

In A Box
by Deb Harman ©
I am but space,
taking up the like,
yearning for feel,
which not found in this place.
I am but flesh,
rotting with time,
cut by own thoughts,
a cluster of mess.
I am but bones,
collapsed into ruin,
a form no more known,
once firm now just stone.
I am but a soul,
in search like the rest,
for an opposite of void,
before the bell cracks its toll.
I know of a land
where none but I have been
Not a land between seas
but a land of within
The familiar becomes fear
A home becomes a stage
The room whispers empty
I yell back in rage
The walls have me captive
Outside is but lore
For the clouds upon the ceiling
send floods through my door
A plea sent through the waves
for mere grace to stay afloat
But the sound heard in the gap
are the thoughts inside my throat
Like running from a bee
when you become aim of its sting
The past will pierce you again
with the daggers that it brings
The moon sings the stars' ode
My soul beside me it lays
for no one else would
I bid goodnight from the grave
You can use my chest to hear the ocean.
Swim in my veins and I will sail your eyes.
The earth is our canvas as we remember our trees' growing;
Like leaves embraced by wind, we are whisked to the skies.
The joining of lips will stop Time's grip,
Because he decides: "I shall take them never;
Forever paired." Impossibly split, even if
Fates river were to drown our endeavors.
I would fight the harsh rapids, aided by my will
To have your soul again within my grasp.
Death before failure; I would cry a horrid shrill
If another won you with his beautiful mask.
All above is a fiction often recited
By my thoughts to my soul, so lonesomely reminded.

What do you do
when shes all you can think about,
every where you look
her face is all you see

What do you do
when your smile is a shining light,
brighter than any sun,
endless eternally

What do you do
when the miles sit in between,
staring up at the moon,
wishing that she was here

What do you do
when each day doesn't seem the same,
all that you feel is new,
beauty is crystal clear

What do you do
when shes all you can think about
