Sun hides...dips lower
Moon and stars deck the dark sky
Dusk is upon us

Lights.....softly glowing
Drawn curtains are a pale screen
Casting drooping forms...

Voices fill the air
Night, patiently hears the moans
Shame fades at dusk...for,

Dark unites shadows
Cicadas join the whimpers
Wind...comforts the soul...

A solitary wanderer
Guided by the winds
Through lonely valleys
Sipping from streams
Sleeping under stars
Night’s canopy as tent
Rolling on soft grass
Lay supine, dreaming
Of the sparkling stars
Holding them in the eyes
Life sparkles with glee
Solitary wanderer
Waylaid from the crowd
Greener pastures
Greets the wanderer
Solitude is bliss
Wanderer finds meaning
Finding ones purpose
Turning away from the crowd
With every single, came many more
Since that line I sketched faded,
with every tear drop my eyes wore!

They would bring the calm
They would bring me the peace I thought
but the diminishing line could give me nothing
Only pain and more agitation it bought

Just as my paint vanished
So did the tears
Drought is what I awaited
For me, that only, was what my fate hath!

Just then,
Did my heart skip a beat and asked
What new puddle did they all form?
Trickling down the same path!
A story is just a lie to set the truth free.

imara
it ended in a flurry
of falling feathers
and rising ashes.

and when the saints
had prayers dangling
like hangmen on their lips,

*it was from your mouth
that heaven drew
its sweetest sin.
funny how inspiration can come from the smallest of things. tried something new based on an emoji of a kiss.
Minds change, children age,
As we wait for the right moment,
Worlds burn, faces turn,
As we wait for the right moment,
That which was green and flourishing,
Turns brown and sickening,
As we wait for the right moment,
What was previously a vision becomes dull,
As we wait for the right moment,
Ideas die, they all forget,
As we wait for the right moment,
The words once spoke,
Are no longer known,
As we wait for the right moment,
The orderly become chaotic,
As we wait for the right moment,
With irrational resistance,
Friendships come to end,
As we wait for the right moment,
Lovers break apart,
With a simple change of heart,
As we wait for the right moment
Battles raged on for
the cold, iron throne.
Kings were slaughtered
of origins, unknown.

Misery and death,
that’s what it bred.
That throne, so cold,
to destruction, it led.

Rebels had risen
to claim the throne
whose kingdom from hatred
had slowly grown.

The hunger for power,
the thirst to rule.
The throne turned
the wisest, into a fool.

The land was soaked
with blood that was shed.
That throne, so cold,
to destruction, it led.

In a kingdom built of hate,
with pillars of lies,
stands the cold, iron throne
as it’s glorious prize.
Game of Thrones, anyone?
Pictures of dead people I know
are smiling and are so full of life
hanging on my wall
reminding me
to seize this day,
because it's not cliche,
and it won't come again.

I told you I would
leave, but I never
said goodbye

I told you it
would end, but I
never said it'd die

I deleted you out
of my life, but I
never had you blocked

I closed the door
to you, but I
never had it locked

-Ben-
what do you do
if your best
was not even close,
enough.

what do you do
if your words
were lost and
misunderstood.

cry, write, smile
and proceed with your life.
