I am a poet
Hear me roar.
Hear my mind run
and race in madness.
Hear my soul burn
and crackle.
Hear my tears drop
into your hand.
Hear my pen scrape
away old ideas caked
onto your mind.
Hear my laughter spring forth into
your
bright future.
I am a poet.
It was a bitter pill and
a sour drink and
it was all the truth.

It was misery and
disaster and
it was all the truth.

It was glory and
sunshine and
it was all the truth.

Everything was the truth -
even the lies.
I've created a place inside
your favourite pillows there
you don't know your names on it
and that it's yours to declare
you've no idea what id give up
nor know my fear of it
I doubt you feel the same
the deepness I've yet to admit
You somehow control me
In some way it brings me rapture
I cant quite hit the nail on the head
but its something id like to capture
I'm near you from a distance
I remain a ghost in your world
I'd expose it like a peacocks tail
that will one day be unfurled
Unheard of, is this emotion
Unseen is its colour
Without you , life
Would just be duller
Im taller
Because I look to the sky
you're my light
as if you were nigh
Im somber
as if to cry
But my eyes
are only dry
Please try
To forgive me
I should have told you
but I'm not at all gutsy
still I wonder
how it would be
If your love only
had a guarantee
I guess its all to common
to feel there is no way out
We have all been surrounded by darkness
we have all been overwhelmed with doubt

At one stage of our lives
we have wished to disappear
wrenching the pain
in the hope that you wont tear

We have all lost loved ones
we have all cried till we were numb
and tried so hard to contemplate
only to succumb

We all know the feeling
some know it all to well
but I hope you're reading this
It means you've risen from your hell

You have accomplished a task
of getting through the pain
you have walked on and on
Ignoring any strain

Now if you have been down before
and gotten past that mark
You can do it again
don't just die in the dark

Conquer your anxiety
Don't let anything stand in your way
And if you do, I promise you
you will find a brand new day
She walks the rails

Infinite steel beams
dwindle to absence
long down the horizon
between soot-painted trees,
into open skies,
and the desire to go wherever it ends...
or doesn’t (mercifully).

She walks the rails

Begging to God,
or Madonna,
or the unrecognizable critter
severed on the tracks,
that the scabs of her bad decisions
stay in the past...
as she rips them off
in a gallop to get away.

She runs the rails

In terror,
that whatever has haunted her
will catch up.
For anything ahead
no matter how unidentifiable
is better than
the hell that clearly is.

She screams down the rails

Attempting to scare
fear into submission,
attenuating the volume
to beat back
the throng
of demonic voices telling her
she cannot break free.

She stops on the rails

Her eyes recoil through a blur
and sees the vision.
Puffy lips dripping of sorrow
curl toward heaven in a blubbering smile
involuntarily she laughs
unrestrained
audacious...
and stretches out her arms
to greet the angel of light.

She stains the rails....
I am talking to god again, after all this time
we had a fall out many years ago
now we are friends again
really good friends again

He was the one who taught me
the game of nought's and crosses
but lets pass over all that
I **** no more

I will never again turn my back on him
never again will I deny him
for he is my strength, and his gift is
Love, compassion impervious and divine

Your brain is a silo filled with unsolved mysteries.
There is a universe beneath your skin,
coursing through your veins,
tangling in your sinew.
You are so much more alive than you think.
You have no control over your life.
So just live.
And live beautifully in that universe underneath your skin,
let joy course through your veins,
let love tangle in your sinew.
That silo in your brain full of unsolved mysteries will slowly be solved.
So just live.

You've seen all my curves.
And yes I mean more than my smile.
You've seen every curve of my body.
Where it gets narrow.
And where it widens out.
You know where every crevice is.
And you've felt and kissed my sweet tender skin.
You kindly kissed my mind.
We'll someone came to mind.
Who ?
They say kiss her mind and her body will follow.

I was just thinking..
how can you talk to one person everyday
and then completely ignore that person the next day ?
Crazy Reality.
All of a sudden it's routine.
Part of your life.
And then it stops.
The phone calls.
The texts.
The snapchats & etc.
Everything just stops.
All of a sudden you need a new routine.
Something.
Anything.
Then one day you forget that person..
and their phone calls,
and their texts,
and their snapchats & etc.
And suddenly you could care less.
Why did it matter at first ?
Why doesn't it matter now ?
Who Cares ?!
Now you're living again.
That's all that matters.
Carpe Diem !
Seize the Day !

Can this be love or is it just lust ?
Either way they both feel so good to me.
You look like heaven but taste like sweet sin Delilah.
Oh God forgive me.. !
Forgive me for I keep repeating the same sin !
Give me the strength of Samson to walk away.
Because Delilah is starting to charm me with her ways.
Oh but you distract me with that smile.
While you poison me with that gold vile.
Oh give me the strentgh of Samson to walk away.
Because Delilah is starting to charm me with her ways.
