Miss Grim
I have the tendency to ponder reality
In this tangible world
I question duality
My mind and body
Once again disagree
The facades of perception
Versus intuition i can't see
My body a shell
Consumed by limitations
A universe in a vessel
Haunted by these sensations
As Conscious thought strains
For truth it cannot reach
In these dimensional chains
My soul continues to beseech
Through its holographic game
Past this curtain of deceit
To a knowledge I must reclaim
It's myself I must defeat.
I'm the only one holding myself back.
My toughest opponent yet.

Miss Grim
Life's a ying and yang
Darkness and the light
A balance must be found
To separate day from night
To be happy on this ride
You must try to understand
The obstacles that you face
In this hourglass of sand
Your soul is like a coin
Each side must be faced
Your angels and your demons
To be accepted and embraced
Do not fear dark or light
For you surely will be lost
Accept it all entirely
No matter what the cost.
Learn to know thyself
Instead of drowning in the pain
Avoiding any part of you
Will make you go insane.

In the garden hard with frost
sits an old man with furrowed eyes
staring at old decorations
dangling from branches
overhung with snow.

His forced breath sinks into fog.
He cannot feel
the rising of a warmer wind
or the furrowed ground
beneath his feet
poised to ooze life.

I am afraid of his eyes.
I turn away when he looks up
at the waves of geese returning,
thawing the ground with their shadows.

Salty air,sultry weather
A lone ship sails in blue waters.
Steadily,inch by inch in the suicidal sea
Making its way through the giant sea.
As the sky turns grey,
And the waters turn prey,
It balances n composes itself.
Against all odds,with all lords.
The voyage has begun.
And so has the competition.
Competition-against the mighty blue sea.
Bon Voyage!

Falling in these lonely lands
where sorrow is known
I carried my heart in both hands
in fear of becoming a stone.

For bruises and scars
piled up my body,
that I wailed to the stars
hoping for a remedy.

Now I've become coy
in battles unseen
and how I wished joy
would finally stay with me.

O hear the pleas
of my troubled soul
I long to spread my wings
that darkness stole.

I fear pain will soon be my home
Living in lies
is where I shouldn’t roam
and the light in me silently cries

crying for the chance
of a happy life.

Color me with all the colors of the skies,
Show me all the secrets that you wish to hide.
Lead me down the paths long forgotten,
Promise me that you will see only me in your life.

Color me with boldness of the sun,
Give me shadows like the moon.
Kiss me till I shine brighter than any star;
Love me until you have painted me in your color.

Show me how you mix wisdom;
Touch my body with the same careful strokes.
Give me eyes dark as night,
If forever I shall be in your sight.

Rainbow, sacred rainbow,
Never break your promise to me.
For the day that you would leave,
I know these colors would no longer be.

I move your memory into the sun,
I know, I know:
Since I lost you I am alone
In the light of the world,
And God gave your wings back I see.
       The light reveals in me
A blindness to the current now,
Instead as stare blankly into the sun
I close my eyes at its revelations,
Like the sound of your breathing
In a mid winter's night,
The differences between them
And the breathing of a warm afternoon
Nap.
     Half of all the steps that ever mattered
To me are gone,
Like fragments of a broken moon,
Its orbit taken by its parent
Planet for getting to close and
Crumbles under the gravity.
   I weep a memory
As I cry to the sun,
I moved your memory there,
Always so bright
I cringe at the sight.

The landing is worse than the fall.
You need to be careful, you need to be smart.
