A bittersweet mixture of agony and ecstasy
Found in the lone voice of a piano
Painting colours in harmony
That leave my senses reeling
Flying through the air like an arrow
Shot from cupids bow
An electric arc in the atmosphere
Piercing my soul with forgotten longing
Balancing in timeless beauty
Pirouetting chiffon billows elegantly through the notes
Defying gravity
Suspended in animation
Music that compels my body into
Configurations that delight and thrill my perceptions
An exquisite pain of my own making
I lose myself in abstractions
Octaves fluidly creating shapes
Resembling cursive script
The author of symmetry
I hover on the edge of a lost dream .....

I once stood on my toes

Until the day  
Fate took it from me*

(C) Pixievic 2016
I trained & danced as a professional ballerina until I broke my kneecap. My friend recently wrote a piece of music (which can be found here https://soundcloud.com/stevetromans/dance-with-me-if-but-awhile) that inspired me to write this piece.
I used to believe in her,
Forever
Until life through her tantrums
Left me sore
It couldn’t possibly exist

After all
Who could bear it
Such commitment
With no life boats in sight

Half the planet seemingly oblivious
Unheeding vessels
The other half simply not worthy
Such imperfect vessels
None a vessel to pour myself into,
Forever

But see my eyes couldn’t see
Beneath the charm
Forever sounded so surreal
So calm and collected
So perfect

Until she opened my eyes
The bottomless pit
Forever
Revealing all, but barely enough
The entire time screaming
I am not synonymous with perfect
Perfect is boring

I am painful chaos
Sweet forgiveness
Soft magic
And more
Tag along
We have forever to find out
Dear night,
my old friend
In need of your serenity
I sit here staring at my hand

I need new words
I'm out of lines
Too much emotions
Struggling times

A great companion
Standing by my side
A secure feeling
Is what you provide

We've been writing poems
Together, from the start
Please don't fail me
Help me create another piece of art
I write poems in the middle of the night, so it is my loyal and taciturn companion. But it never fails to provide the enviroment most comfortable for writing poetry.
In trying, there is every chance you might fail.
In not, there is no chance you will ever prevail.

For if you do not take a chance or at least try
There is every chance life will just pass you by.
Searching low and high
Chipping away time after time

We dig we mine, in hopes to find
Something that has been within, all the time

You can think how you choose
as long as you know that the Gold is in you



-Ryss
What should I say to you
The struggles I have endured
LOVING you
Not even a diseased dog
Not even a person sent to HELL
Has suffered!

To see you once
I have to live a life-time

To talk with you
I have to get educated

To touch you
I have to upbring myself to be the best

To shake hands with you
I've to pray with folded hands

I worship you
With so much devotion
I came to LOVE you
But my temple of LOVE
Was demolished in a whim
My heart was ripped apart
My wretched soul
Cut into pieces
I cried unending tears

I - an unbeliever
Now sing and beg
Come to my rescue
To crush this hellish fate of mine

Come like a wind
To dry my tears
Come like a storm
To blow my sorrow
Come like a flood
To flow my fears away

So that the chapter of my fate
Would take a turn

And I would again dream
of being with you
