Remember when ever night felt like saturday
When we were all both young and alive
Dancing and drinking and rolling on highs
We were the kings and the queens of the night
Chasing the moon and pulling down stars from the sky
Back when it felt like we could have done anything we wished for
And now that my years have grown longer
And my nights have lost sight of saturday
No longer  a king
Just a peasant wishing on a dream that keeps eluding me

it was on a hill of a clever neighborhood
the errant flow well guised beneath the clay
upon reach of the summit
she is all that can be held
her pull far too magnetic
her skin, akin to milk poured by Luna
her hair is the black of midnight
on the eve of the new moon
she sits facing inquiry with her injured one facing her
on a rounded copper colored chair
placed curbside
Sophia speaks then
a monotone misgiving
that pours out
as a sly pompous
indifference

It's been said that TIME heals all wounds. But, does it?
I don't think so. The proper answer is distance.
If you were put back into that TIME and space.
Would you not feel that presence of pain?
Yes you would. Why? Because you are in that time.
All of the commotion, isolation, fear, worry.
Whatever; that agony was for you.
Would be present and, RAW.
It is DISTANCE from the actual event that will produce healing..
I am going to say AMEN.
Hidden far away no eye has seen
so great not even one could dream
Released dark spirits of which burn as bright
hear the angered sins of spite

Secret parts hidden far beneath and untold
left better as unspoken and foretold...
You gambled away
with her heart and feelings
left her out in the cold
all alone

You try so hard to
wonder why she didn't come
back when clearly you
were the problem to her solution
The sky a darkened camouflage green
The ground a clear pitched blue
The sun a vivid ghost white
And the clouds a bright mustard yellow
Three sisters of foul prophecy
sharing one tooth and one ocular oddity
A great hero came entering the sisters cave alone
Wanting to inquire the whereabouts of the cursed stone

The hero requesting information for what he desired
he ransomed their eye for what he required
Being threatened the sisters gave the information he bequeathed
In returned he gave back the eye of which he seized
Can you take a guess of which story this is?
Broken and defeated
front seat of incompetence depleted
Sleep deprived and laid to rest
beating and pounding in my chest

Evident thoughts run through my mind
time seems to be falling behind
Speak a word and i shall provoke
clinching fists and i have broke

Everything turns to an outbreak of rage
no more emotion could be bottled up and caged
I fall to the floor and I burst out crying
all I feel is me slowly dying
Lately I feel like I've run out of inspiration
I'm left with nothing but humiliation
Normally I had ideas and it would flow
now I have nothing, not evens a thought to show
