Come now darkened night,
Shine your saturated light
Upon my nightmares.

Stars have no reply
For the wherefore and the why
Within my nightmares.

Dawn now dries my tears
But it cannot ease the fears
Of living nightmares.

He is here no more,
Locked behind a keyless door.
Unending nightmare.

It shakes me to the core
This breathtaking desire
Passion never felt before

I never thought to soar
On this feeling you inspire
It shakes me to the core

I crave it all the more
As it sets my soul on fire
Passion never felt before

Electricity outpours
Fingers touching this live wire
It shakes me to the core

A ****** rapport
That cannot be acquired
Passion never felt before

And as we explore
I set my heart upon the pyre
It shakes me to the core
Passion never felt before

The river meanders
On a lazy summers day.
The paper boat sails.

The shoulders that soaked young tears,
A place to hide from childish fears.
Once so straight and proud and high,
Cruelly stooped as the years marched by.
Still the strongest shoulders ever known,
Still the perfect cradle for a daughter now grown.

An idea conceived in an intense moment of beauty or pain.
A moment of perfect clarity.
We turn our brains to wombs,
To nurture it, protect it,
Know it and love it.
We feed it emotion
And it grows stronger.
When the time is right
We give birth to it
Through tears sweat and blood
Or pure tranquility.
And we love it,
On our own or alongside others.
For these are our babies

A disease
That rots from the inside
Out.
Turns a beautiful
Smile
Into a poisonous sneer.
Makes foes
Out of
Reluctant friends
And turns
Towers of strength
To crumbling ruins.
Flows through your
Bloodstream
Like poison,
And seeps from
Your pores
To taint everything
Around you
With shades
Of virulent green.
A useless emotion
That makes you wish
You couldn't
Feel
At all.

The pebbles line the shore
Like a congregation
Of ocean worshippers.
An array of colour and size,
Their diversity a testament
To the beauty of the rocks.
And though they are dwarfed
By neptune's tabernacle,
Their beauty is merely enhanced

If I'm a prisoner of love
Then please feel free
To lock me up & throw away the key.

But what's obvious
To those with eyes to see,
Is that love was the one to set me free

If I was a
Mathematical genius
I'm sure I would
See
Perfect patterns
In the way you move.

Like a perfect circle,
People would try
To recreate
Your essential spark.

Pi would
Look upon you
Jealously.

I'm no mathematician,
But this
Equation
Works for me.

If i could sing
I'd sing a thousand arias
That would melt your heart.
If i could paint
I'd paint a thousand pictures
That would set me apart.
If i could dance
I'd dance a thousand routines
That would grab your attention.
If i could do comedy
I'd tell a thousand jokes
To ease the tension.
But that's not me
It wouldn't be true.
Don't try to change me,
I wouldn't change you.
You know my heart
You know my soul
You know exactly
What makes me whole
So pass me some paper
Give me a pen
Give me support, some peace
And then
Lock the door,
Switch off the phone
And watch as i
Come into my own
