in it's purest form

I'm too tired to sleep
but too alive to die.

To whom do I owe
the pleasure
of fighting for.
The first one came out during a "free association writing" session. I've been dwelling on it for a couple days, and I would be interested to hear what you think.

When the darkness falls,
I hope you'll be secure;
in a place of safety,
in which you will endure.

When the twilight comes,
I hope you have God's grace;
in the shelter of His arms,
where you may find a place.

When the darkness falls,
and what we know is gone;
destruction will prevail,
and life will be a pawn.

When stars no longer shine,
and the way is hard to find;
follow God's great light,
that permeates your mind.

When the darkness falls,
know that the end is near;
but with His precious love,
we've nothing more to fear.

Through fog and sullen thoughts
I move on I don't stop
Through limitations
I break free I leap off a cliff
I fall backwards to see the sky not the fear
Crashing or flying is not up to me
I am moved and I follow
Crazy and enlightened are two words
To describe refusal to follow
I sense and I comprehend
Not your words,
I can touch your intentions
The tender fragility behind the
Shell of impervious
Behind bravado of the narcissus
So small and shallow so afraid
Of seeing empty staring back from
The mirror reflection
No, I'm no better
I fear the void I fill it
To the brink like a pointless hobby
Feeling the ultimate
Does not help to shake off my humanity
Limitations everywhere reflect
The fear I carry like a favorite keepsake
Too human to let go
Had a big fight with someone yesterday, but came to realization - who am I to judge

She Was Wild

JR Potts
She was wild like skinny dipping at midnight, stars watching overhead and falling in love with moonlight. The way it lay upon her skin made the ocean envious of her depths within and sometimes between us. She was my sister, not in blood but in orbit. A Venus to my Earth, forged from the same collapsing star and if the universe was in fact to be infinite then this moment would happen again, and again, and again an immeasurable number of times. I found comfort in this thought, knowing though our existence was meaningless, it was still full of feeling, and this feeling, right now, it insisted on existing forever.

Jacob
In the grand scheme of life
You see me, a lost dreamer
Standing on the periphery and
Fantasizing at what might be
Genius it is to live someone else's life

Then I found him, in all his scars
He was a kind soul trapped in beauty
And I found him, oh how lovely it was
I never thought I'd be so lucky
In all my circumstances to be given
Such a beautiful man, such a warm heart

It is us, all of us, nothing but us
He shares his life with me, and I accept
If this should be true, I accept all
I will take his love in my palms,
Caress his purity and die right there
In a blanket of protection and serenity
All is not lost, just found in him.

Just keep talking
eventually you'll
start making sense
of course by then
nobody will be listening.

Sir Kristjan Joson
Today is the day
That you will leave this place
Fly to a wonderful journey
Thousand miles from home
Just like a million miles from me.

I saw you packing your things last night
Then you kissed my forehead
I cried silently and secretly
And for the first time in my life
I felt the bitter-sweet death.

Today is the day
Please hug me for the very last time
To feel your love and warmness
Put my freezing heart into fire
Hold me tight like there is no tomorrow.

Promise me to take care of yourself
And keep in touch whatever happens
And if you find another one
It is alright, just tell me right away
I have no rights to be with you at all
But I am hoping for the day,
to have a little space in your heart.

Today is the day**
To start your brand, new beginning
I will never, ever forget you
Just remember, I still love you
I'm still waiting for you to come back.
Its hard to let go of person you really love,
but all you can do is just wait for a good or an unfortunate outcome.

— The End —
