T....

Battered emotions
Are not weighed
Against
This storm of distruction
Where to go from here
A nightmare come true

As angel wings carry you home
Sweet soul
Linger
In memories
Of golden dreams and hopes for the future

Pain
Dives into hearts
Pinning every emotion to the ground

Hold tight sweet child
Strong in soul
But weak of body

Hell knows me
Please release me from your grasp
I need to touch heaven*

I need to see you get home safely

A morning thought

I rise above the mindless mutterings
Of the fools who think gossip and folly
Is the way to enlightenment
But still I feel
The consending minds
Judging the world
That to myself
I am so grateful to part of
Let us smile and breathe in moments of understanding
Whilst being mindful
For our people

Mistaken

We were never anything more
You took my trust
And stampled it to the ground
We were nothing more
Than a wanting
An unsatisfied plea for help
You touch upon
That place within
I never told you
How I really felt
You were too busy falling for fools
You were too busy pulling me down
The time you threw me in the gutter
The tears mingling with puddles of remorse
The stab of failed friendship
I loved you
For all the cruelty you dealt me
Broken hearted
Now I never fall so hard
Tears never fall
Mirrors only reflect scars left from warfare
That way
I managed to keep my head above water
I am my own life jacket
So swim or drown
I know I made my choise
It's good
When you know your armour will keep you safe

Fly

I run my fingertips
Through fields of gold
Touching on the edge of your reasoning

Blue
A moment of sadness
Or the colour of tranquility

Ripping skin
Painful memories
A distance
A time that has slipped away

Single handed perfection
An artist of words
play with fire if you will
for tomorrow
My voice will hold the
Fire of a molitude

If the illusion of life ways you down
Hold fast
For we can never know
When life will deal an ace

Be ready to paint grafitti
Across the sky in the hues of your emotions

*Let there be time to fly just once before we die

Why ?

I used to listen to adele
When my heart was breaking
Now I wish I hadn't
Because everytime I listen to her
I remember it all
I used to text you everyday
When my heart was breaking
You said we were still friends
I didn't feel this friends thing
When I knew you chose her
Not me
I sorted out my head
Your working nights tonight
Why do you still think of me
When the moon is full and shining
I havnt texted you for weeks
Why are you texting me
When your heart belongs to her
It makes me feel like listening to adele
But I don't want to go there right now
I don't even feel like texting you back
I guess ill turn up the volumne on poets of the fall
They always bring me back to myself
When the heartache
Threatens
To take over

See me

I flick through memories
Like a crumpled dream revisited
The sword dips and twists
Twists and turns
Where there is a forgotten face
There is an angels cry for comfort
I will hide my face in shame
Addiction to love
The poison flowing freely
As the sun blinds
And my heart pumps venom to vertually every
Cell within this bio world I live in
I secretly cry in corners
But all you will see
Is my indifference
My detachment
My symbolic denial of truth

Child of the night

There is sweat on my brow
Blood under my finger nails
And nothing can quench my thirst
Like the blood that runs in rivers through your body
I can smell your heart beating
Come closer*
If you dare
