I have a lot of thoughts:
I think too much, I think
too little, I think.
I think in circles,
in mazes,
in labyrinths.
I think in tangles and
                                    snarls and
                                                    spikes and
                                                             ­                   blood

Only of importance when lonely
happy to know fiction from reality
reality is only broken knows broken
and only light can truly know light
the legitimately broken are blessed
but oh so rare
though when they are finally found
a lifetime bond can be formed
as for the light
well I cannot know
I am one of the blessed broken
Dedicated to those who are dragging me out of Hell with kind hands and sincere love.

I'll be there for you through it all,
I'll be the one to catch you when you fall.

I'll be the one through the tears,
I'll be the one to fight your fears.

I'll be your moon in your darkest hour,
The one you go to when you don't know anymore.

The one to give you peace in this time of pain,
The one to keep you completely sane.

Yet when all is said and done,
Most out there would rather be your sun.

To make your day just a tad bit brighter,
An make the mood so much lighter.

Yet I'll be the one to be your moon,
I'll always appear in the afternoon.

To shine down on you in your darkest of nights,
Always full and always in your sights.

A poet pouring emotions onto paper
Many times obscure, hard to discern
Most would skim over, not feel the burn
Letting the words slip out of mind like vapor

For another poet though, this is not the case
Every despairing, loving, passionate word is heard
Nothing said misunderstood, seen as absurd
Never judging, for every poet also has been in this place

What on Earth would be a better match made
Than a poet and another poet minds linked as one
No need for spoken words, no need to take action
Whisper it to one another on paper, a private serenade

Dancing a dance no other could understand
Two perfect souls forever intertwined
Knowing completely one another's mind
A poet who loves a poet, their passion withstands
Take it as you will. A fleeting thought. How hard is it to have your poetry read and not understood? Be it lover, friend or foe.
They say that sin is how you get in
Who knew it would be my escape?
I'll shed this skin and leave it behind
I'm coming home to claim my fate

I'm not a failure if I fail to quit
Hidden deep behind the veil
Vapor vexed in winter winds
Ignorance is a chosen cell

It's easy getting into Hell
Getting out's a different story
I have my ticket, I'm leaving now
I'm coming home to claim my glory

Fearing shadows I face the sun
Torrential raindrops build the flood
You can't erase these burning feelings
These veins do flow with ink, not blood

Time passes by, cutting a swathe through worlds.
Empires fall, mountains crumble, and the San Andreas fault gapes open.
Bodies decay, graves sink into earth, the Sun glares down,
and the Moon creeps closer.
The Burning Man watches, silent, unmoved and present.

He stares at the world as it rusts over.
He walks its dead deserts, its barren oceans,
through the skeletons of buildings and over sagging highways.
He watches the vast dirt plains of the American metropolis,
and the dustbowl of Russia over the burial grounds of the Orient.

He is solitude, and does not wonder why.
