after waiting
this deep chord--
we turn to empty seats

after waiting
this poised air, released--
sound--tuning

once again im left alone with my thoughts
and food
one of them will be gone when you return
and one will cloud the room.

your words are pushpins.

pushpins that held my dreams in place
on the wall of lilac lies
that you built around me.

they left termite holes
in the gypsum board
that remind me

of how useless a promise can be.

Standing on this concrete step,
looking at the last light that shines from the sun set.
A fleeting feeling, Adapts into inner revealing.
I am letting go,
This moment,
I catch a glimpse,
this moment I repent.

Regret, a word that holds me like you did.
Embarrassment, caresses me.

I must gather the last bright light from the sun.
Memorize its radiation,
Memorize each spark reflecting validation.
I will take it with me, on the road of self discovery.

Sweet and tender
Don't you ever
Lose your innocense

This world gets bolder
As it gets colder
And ever more, intense

Always it will be
Hard for you to keep
Your heart upon your sleeve

But darling you will see
When you look within your dreams
That passion overcomes all adversity

Even through the hurting
Life is always worth it
And love will lead you through

Remember to keep learning
Don't you ever stop yearning
To be the best in all you do

There are two options here
Give up or persevere
Love, give anything but up

When your done hoping
When your beaten and your broken
Look up for my love

gravity
pulls me down
like an anchor
sinking into sea
weighing me down
deep into darkness
while i drown in my thoughts
the last glimpse of light
diminishes
my soul is uplifted.
