On trembling thigh he could no longer run,
How long ago had this begun?

Slowly down unto frosted field he fell,
How long he'd been running through this waking hell?

From his aching tired chest, he desperately clung to his final frozen breath,
Could it be he'd finished this eternal test?

Weeks had passed in silent still he laid,
Each moment lived, relived within, an' thus his suspended suff'ring began to fade

Return'd back to th' breast of Earth from whence it came
Th' body of man will forever decay the same

Then struck, an infinite instant in which pain and hate he'd known none.
Anew to the world, reborn to new flesh and time, his soul awoke with the desperate need to run.

with the dawn of
four a.m.
the pen bleeds
keystrokes weep
for the heart pours
when the soul can't sleep
at half past
four a.m.
the seconds trickle
moments crawl
thoughts begin to race
as a fog consumes them all
upon the dusk of
four a.m
the silence flows
the mind reseals
the soul feels safe
as the peaceful quiet heals
finding inspiration within yourself

I will not
be trapped within a web of lies
created by my own mind.
For far too long,
from myself, I've tried to hide
Far too late and long ago,
too many lines were crossed
because I did not know
how much affect my actions hold.
Now that I've begun to grow
I'm seeing things I always should have known.
I need to love myself, and my heart of gold.
In the mirror, I look me in the eyes,
as realization dawns on me I start to smile.
The best part about my mind
is that it's mine, and that is why,
I decide, to no longer be,
trapped within
my own web of lies.
Every struggle builds my strength

Scarlet rain briskly dances, from the leaky vein.
Casting out sadness and pain,
as it makes it's way toward the drain.
I wake forth with strain,
as the images fade through the mist of my brain.

The world is filled with swine in suits and ties,
hogging down and ******* out lies,
stopping here and there,
to trim their tusks and tame each others hair,
for appearance certainly is a must,
when you're a creature none should trust.
Sludge and slop goes to the top,
to feed the greedy boars.
The filthy ****** spread their legs from shore to shore
always wanting and demanding more and more.
From behind a locked door,
somewhere on an eighteenth floor,
you can hear their squealing cries,
smell their wretched sties,
and feel the hate that pours,
from their blackened beady eyes.
Use caution where you tread,
and think before you fill your head.
Be careful with which words you choose to believe,
for not everyone is who they seem to be.

You and I and the silky sounds of the sea,
soft and slow,
sweetly stepping without rest,
suddenly we're silently stowed away,
secluded within a ship,
setting sail toward secret sands,
starry skies spying through these surging storms.
Surrounded by electric energy,
engulfing you and me,
endangering the empty empathy,
encouraging us closer to elation's edge,
endorphins eat away our earlier engagements,
and everything escapes through your eyes.  
Accepting the expressive expectations,
exposing the explanation of excitement,
exploring and extracting,
exceptional new examples,
as we exit this reality,
upon our pure ecstasy.

Oh how you run freely through my veins,
carefree and joyous as if playfully jumping trains,
controlling me,
you're a puppet master,
you hold my reins.
Oh how you run freely through my veins.
