Have you ever sat and thought
What happen in this day
That made your eyes want to cry
And turn your colors gray

To wake up with a smile
That runs across your face
Now has turned upside down
And stays there right in place

Did something really happen
To turn your day unkind
Or was it something you created
Deep inside your mind

The future is not written yet
Happiness can return
Just as long as you don’t make
Your heart start to burn

I know I will feel this
Until my mind has died
Not unless I fill this hole
My body tries to hide.

I became a brainless mute
My mouth droops open
Nothing but impassioned silence
For she was a giving disease

My nerves begin to intensify
Limited to a feeble breath
For my throat clenches up
As if her eyes excrete poison

If only one word would pop out
Just “hello”
But a remote smile
Would make me iced

To think the attraction of one girl
Could turn me senseless
A lusterless jelly body
A translucent emotion

To be turned down
Could explode my thumping heart
I just don’t want to be
A puddle of rejection

I sit planted in the frigid earth
Leaning back, eyes to the sky
A rich sigh hits my lips
For relaxation has come

As the sun glistens on my face
I shake my petals with rapture
For each one is a fraction of my life
Attached to my tickled smile

I dance with the refreshing wind
For she is one with me
Her silky crystal fingers
Embrace my entire body

Fluffy clouds of cream appear
Crying down their dewy tears
The nectar runs down my skin
Giving my body a pleasurable chill

The world embodies itself around me
Like a tender cotton blanket
Then I shut my eyes to equanimity
For my day was content

The butterfly soars again
Born from magic dust
Its massive wings
Torn no more

Rainbows of immense colors
Strength of crisp bones
To hold the strong smile
To the face of a tiny God

Flight courses through the body
Streams of candy to the eye
A flash to the pupil
A lustrous gloss of sugar

Body and soul back to one
The butterfly lifts to the sky
To experience such a vision
To endure a piece of heaven

The eyes glaze over
From the icy chill

Sand paper lips
Ruby together as one

Frozen hands squeeze
Creating warm inner pockets

Winter is here again
With her mighty power

The power to create beauty
And destroy it all at once

To close my eyes
IS to be free
To create a whole world
Beyond my shutters

A world where I can be me
A world where I can live
A world where I can be happy
A world where I am God

My dream

The little piece I have
While I am at slumber
Under light touches my lids
To open them to a word
One that hurts my eyes

Reality

Words can hurt

Call someone a name
Shoot a bullet into their heart
Keeping loading your gun with horrible words
Keep firing until the clip is empty
Until the heart is outlined with bullets of pain

Have you ever been hurt?
Do you know how it feels?

Throw salt into your eyes
So you cry as it stings

Put sand down your throat
So you can’t scream anymore from being dry

Now take a dull rusty nail
Yes the large kind
Covered in thick rusty layer of tears
Then move it slowly into your chest

So you can feel the true anguish burn

…ok
…maybe I lied

…It feels a lot worse

So think next time you open your mouth
For you are doing much more damage then you think

Enough to scar
