Everyday is just the same,
between you and i..
and everyday i still hope, we would be greater.
Yet,
it becomes over taken by the arguments,
the yelling, and the tears...

.
I sit on my porch, the sky is dropping
As I pour my tea.  The day was lit
With paint and brush, now my face
Is lighted by the round full joy
Of the shining moon, I see
Him in my filling cup.

Is there
Or isn't there
A storm coming?
Yes, oh yes, there most definitely is.

It's going to be vicious, and ugly
And angry, this storm.
Lashing will happen.
Winds will roar,
My head, throat and heart are sore,
Longing for
The release of this storm,
The one they've promised me,
The one that's guaranteed.

Outside, rain falls, but gently.
Where are the buffeting torrents,
The groaning, ghastly gales?
I feel cheated.
I was so ready
For pathetic fallacy.
Deliver, or be ****** forever,
Gods of weather.
Your guru's fail us,
Buffet and hail us.

They told us to batten down the hatches,
But I'm ready to fling the windows wide open
And welcome the chaos and the debris,
I'm ready!
Where are the flying branches?
I want and need terror,
But someone's made an error...
My storm is undelivered,
Consequently, so am I.

Forbidden pulls at me
Demanding fealty,
I hurt, I am in pain.
Full of wishful thoughts,
the empty chest feeling.
I feel at risk,
Holding on to not letting go.
Always, the end is always the same...
Look at what's changed,..
The castle falls apart.
Everyone fades away
What if I gave up?...
As those gave up on me.
Dusting myself off as I get up,...
Wandering off to unknowns,
far from this place.
Deep and away,.. below.
Safely out of place when I fell upon myself...
I found my eyes had sunk in,...
an aura starts to blaze,...
a grey shade of those that mourn.
My rotten wants displayed,
running out from a hole...
What if I gave up?
As they gave up on me?...
I hurt, I hate, I go so far away.
Empty, I waste,...
I will fade as everyone fades
and the castle crumbles.
What if I gave up?...
Even though I am aware,...
of the rules to follow.
For you I will break,...
Everyone, one day fades.
What if I go before you do?

You doubt my happiness because
it has been too long
since you have smiled
without straining your smirk.

you spend forever searching for who you should be
that uphill climb to self awareness and understanding
once you hit the top of that mountain
it is nothing
nothing like you imagined yourself to be
you still feel empty
unsure if you took the wrong climb
too late to look down now
at what was, and those
what could have beens are too far away
after feeling that emptiness there is always a path forward
maybe its a flat plateau
maybe another mountain
but there is no dead end
keep going
you will find your meaning
and you will know when
because it will be beautiful.

She knew she could
so she did
she made a life for herself

she didn't need anyones help
wondering from a broken past
promising herself
that mistakes they've made
she won't repeat

she's stable
on two feet
knowing where she's headed
a youth with possibilities
with potential and lust
strength forward
lessons behind

Life is a vast spiral tangled in the mouth of purpose,
we are human and live as one regardless if we are aware or not
Life has meaning, and purpose is a wonderful word.

We are more than we're taught to believe,
take a slave who is humble, honest, and meek,
conceived in chains that crumble, worthless and weak.
When this slave has a voice to honestly speak,
purpose will be what sets this slave free.

I beg you to question everything
until the truth is alive and heard.
Limitations are not superior
to the little information we all incur.

Hesitation is a noun, not a verb,
take first place instead of third.
Close your eyes to the blinding veil,
all your thoughts are overheard.

I take this cup of purpose and drink,
with all my might I take this flesh and dip my ink.
The wrong is blinded by the light,
I am born to dream in life.
I die from life to finally see,
I think my dreams are born in me,
without this I am nothing.

Life is a vast spiral tangled in the mouth of purpose.
Life has meaning, and purpose is a wonderful word.

Standing alone in silence, on a cliff made of diamonds,
I look down at the world and see it for what it truly is.
The sick grow weary, children starve on the street,
the rich grow mighty, the poor continue to beg at their feet.
The world leaders continue to speak, filling the pockets of the elite,
with each drop of innocent blood, our humanity grows bleak.
All alone I watch in silence, as the innocent are slaughtered;
since the beginning of time, mankind has chosen to live in darkness, where they stay mesmerized day after day.

Holding hands with a child, I look deep into her eyes,
I see a beautiful creation, I see a magnificent light.
Then we rose into the heavens and joined the legion of innocent lives.
Standing alone in silence, I watch the diamonds in the sky.

Last night I dreamed of you all night
And didn't want to wake

The dream was uncovering
memories of you, I'd buried.
A swat to the backs of my legs
to get me to open them.

Your carters blanket
up to shield us.
Doing things you didn't want
the God to see.

What was I dreaming then?
I wasn't.
