A shattered heart
May struggle
To love at first
But a patchwork love
Will hug you tighter
Than a priceless vase
Afraid to break

Who is it that silently
Stole my heart
Who laced their seal
Upon my chest

No one I meet
Sparks a second beat
Blind to all
Except the graceful thief

Your breathe on the air
Into the sky I stare
Imagining where you lay
Waiting for that one special day

Darkest shadows
Harbor broken souls
Like a mothers
Warm embrace

Fading* in the shadows
Is where I feel at home
Hidden from piercing gazes
Up and down my soul they roam

Drawing back the curtains
They feed on my heart
Tearing at my emotions
A worn sadistic art

Driven through a world
Etched in toxic blood
Altered through war and greed
D**rowning in green mud

White Blank Canvas
Thoughts Flooded With Void
An Empty Madness
Drained And Annoyed

Lost For Creation
Searching, Searching
**** This Frustration
Where Are You Hiding

Please End This Game
You Win, Come Out
Arc Up, Take Aim
Let The World Hear Your Shout

Pen and paper in each hand
Off we set to expand
Entry to a magic place
Through our hearts we embrace
Rendered deep from our soul
Y**earn for stories to be told

I'm faced with an issue
For which I do not need a tissue
It's a little complicated
Makes me feel intoxicated

I have some life choices
But I need to follow the right voices
I wish I could just stand back
Autopilot through the right track

Three main choices have arisen
All three I can envision
For one I need self confidence
At the loss of my moral conscience

Or I can keep my heart and adore
But have a life that I bore
Be laid back and loving, never to explore
But would I trade this for the loss of my core

Or I can just stay this way
The way I am today and everyday
My brain and heart stuck in a conundrum
I wish the answer would just come

All I can do is roll the dice
And hope luck is ever so nice
Picks for me one which is right
I shall think on this one overnight

Well here we are with an odd little start
Just feeling free flowing from part to part
Don't you just love these moments in time
When the idea of fate just slips from mind

Like all existence fades into one
When all knots and ties just become undone
With sun warmth on face at times of night
Even the darkest of shadows see this light

When your weightless gliding on through space
Even though gravity holds you right in place
Moments stand still but gone in instants
That moment of harmony within existence

You chew me up
And spit me out
I'll come back with
A different flavor

Today I reached deep in my pocket
In search of some new ideas
But all I grabbed a hold instead
Was a big handful of pocket lint

It seems I'm all dried up
For the scene of current days
Maybe that's where I should start
Inspiration from good ole times

But with good time memories
Few and far between
I reach into another pocket
And find a torn and tattered dream

A dream I thought was locked away
A time of pain and sorrow
The nightmare of a special day
One with no tomorrow

Unfolding it further it changed in shape
The way dreams so often do
It was then I let go in hand
And away the nightmare flew

With a Whoosh, Fizz, Crackle, BANG!!
Coloured lights entangle the night
Raining down a gracious song
Lost in awe my mind reignites

Why am I told I'll be the perfect guy
For that special girl
Yet I find myself
Here all alone

Why does my heart
Fall faster than the speed of light
Yet I'm too blind
To notice when the time is right

Why does the me inside
Enjoy such rollercoaster rides
Yet me on the outside
Just wants to break down and cry

Why is it I'm speechless
When I see your eyes
Yet my mind
Just speeds on by

Why am I so weak
My heart crumbles, it just breaks away
Yet I stand rock solid
Smiling on through everyday

Divine rays lavish upon us
An intrinsic warmth beating down
Y**ielding gracious transient light

Trapped
Once again
Trapped
In cupids rift

For every breath
You breathe
My heart beats
An orchestral muse

Just one
Silent glance
Causes seismic quakes
Across my soul

Love me like
The ocean
Loves the land
Forever together

Today I am done
I'm done with it all
World you have won
I'll curl into a ball

You've broken my will
Poisoned my soul
My mind is collapsing
But I guess it's not surprising

You reach out with talons
And rip out my heart
My blood you drain in gallons
It's a sick, sadistic art

If there is a hell
This is where it's at
Life is but a mere cell
We are just rats

I could go on forever
About the pain that you cause
But in the end, you'll just sever
More hearts with your claws

My light is in darkness
In escape from dismay
All I request
End me this day

Aimlessly wandering desert plains
Sifting the sands in search of your name
Heat waves beating from a blazing star
An unquenchable thirst to find who you are

Mirage after mirage allude your eyes
Casting illusions that your search is nigh
Across the sand flows a blood soaked creek
Masking the truth for which you seek

But deep beneath the surface are your fortunes untold
Upon a tattered old book, your name in bold
Stop following the deceptions that you see
Follow your heart it will set you free

I need somethin to set me in motion
Somethin which will electrify my emotions
My life is so dull, no commotion
I want somethin to happen, a life no longer frozen

Is this some sort of lesson
My body's just stressin
I got nothin to be confessin
Just bored and depressin

Wish it was just over
Life threw me over the border
Got nothin, just getting colder
****
Give me somethin to look back on when I'm older

Your lips are my poison
Slowly my soul drips away

As I drift between reality
And the realm of dreams
The world tops its axis
Or so it may seem

Rifts of the universe
Open like mouths
Dimensions unfold
While our heads are stuck in clouds

On the cusp of consciousness
Reality turns to dust
My soul splits from body
Bursting from crust

Traveling ethereal planes
The universe unfolds
Floating through space
Discovering stories untold

The narrow minded
Don't seem to understand
Qualities of difference
Having your toes in the sand

If you do not
As majority does
Then you are backwards
A spanner in the works
A fuzz

Being different
Is exciting
The feelings of adventure
Forever inviting

Embrace the fact
That the way you act
Maybe out of the blue
But that's the uniqueness
Of being you

Tantalized by seductive
Offerings. Her
X-ray vision leers deep
Into my soul. She
C**onsumes my mind

One little feeling
Just a slight change of emotion
Can start your mind spinning
Causing a world of commotion

Like the ignition of rockets
A tiny spark is all it takes
To cause a domino effect
Raising all the stakes

Take a dive in the ocean
As a shark swims by
Feel the rushing adrenaline
As you reach for the sky

Clouds come over
A thunderstorm strikes
Only five minutes later
It's a clear starry night

Leaving you in wonder
What's going to happen next
Maybe let's just wander
Along lifes steps

Strewn across a vibrant night
Twinkling impressions just in sight
Artistic lights we embrace
R**each around outerspace

I've got an old tale just for you
Not that hairy *** hanging thing
Something brand spanking new
I am a little bit crazy
But once you know me
You will see how I fly with one wing

Now to the tail we shall go
Waving left and right, to and fro
Sometimes fast and sometimes slow
A lot says a tail, oh they bellow
But not with a voice oh no no
With the to and fro shows the flow

Now isn't this interesting
A tale of a tail, should I say more
What was I thinking
It gets thrown around and rubbed on the floor
Of what domain am I now sinking

You can't tell me? you don't know?
You've followed this entire show
Oh, it's ok I'm just cooky
Here just forget it all and have a cookie

Paper filled
Of heart and soul
Empowering words
Mending our whole

I'm an assassin
Amongst shadows
Darting swiftly
Back and forth
Slicing you from
The inside out

[\    It takes just one seed

Freedom, what is freedom?
We believe freedom is being
Able to do whatever we like with
No restrictions. Quite intriguing

If you had no restriction
What would you do
With this so called freedom
The idea of peace would be lost too

True freedom is not
Doing whatever you like
It is not riding the streets
Being crazy on your motorbike

That is just madness
Pure insanity
True freedom we all already have
And of this we do have plenty

Freedom is speaking
What you believe
Understanding the consequences
In which you retrieve

Freedom is sharing your heart
And sharing your soul
No matter what others think
Don't be shy, it is time to fill that hole

Stand up and be yourself
Dare to dream worlds
Do not be afraid
Of other cutting words

Be free as an eagle soaring
As free as a dolphin gliding
As free as a lion roaring
Freedom a glory for your taking

It's that time again
A war being waged
Between heart and mind
Upon the broken stage

Shattered reflections
Know how to dine
If only fate
Hadn't been signed

Then maybe
Just maybe
You could
Have been mine

We are the living instruments
In our vast universe
Our hearts are the beating drums
Our breaths the words of verse

We are living music
With the pitter patter of our feet
Our souls are the composers
Of an ever changing rythm
The universes harmonious beat

If love is not but a dream
Than I am just an essence
To occupy unneeded space
Never to feel the warmth
Of my soul embraced

In the vision of love
My very being shudders
An orchestral muse
Intervened by an abruptly
Dissonant key

Like a kiss upon my cheek
Infusing a tender glow
Graciously revealing which we seek
Harboring the world of
T**ommorrow

Drawn in like a brainwashed sailor
To the serenade of the sirens song
Your beauty blinds me of my failure
Eyes that remind me of home

Entrancing sapphire like the crystal flow
Of the river down through the forest
Peering deep into my soul, blindly I follow
Lushes ruby lips I loved to caress

But for everything so visually perfect
Your soul was deprived
A personality so deeply wrecked
I'm surprised I barely survived

Your soul reminds me of a holiday
The kiss of bitter cold gales
Freezing deep in the snow I lay
Chilled bone deep feeling frail

The mistake I made was accepting
That everyone could change
Giving you a chance again
Never was I more deranged

You are a dark and twisted seductress
Stabbed in the back once too many
No longer shall I try to impress
For you I now forever banish

Shattered glass merging
With crystal rains
Flowing colors through surging
Diamonds like perfect a quatrain

For those who don't like poetry,
Think it's just words jumbled in.
You're only reading
The first layer, the skin.

Take some time to understand
That our heart and souls
Are engraved into every word,
Poems are our crown jewels

You may have a passion for sport
Or even racing cars.
I hope your catching my drift
For we all look to the stars.

Try digging to the deeper layers,
You might find yourself gliding
Across plains or an ocean,
But no matter what I'll continue writing

Spring

I am but a leaf
Now blooming upon first light
Floating in the wind

But floating I'm not
Hanging from a branch, my world
Caressed on her wings

Summer

Swaying melodies
We dance in a summers breeze
The world at our tips

Graceful connections
Flowing through one another
Intertwined as one

Autumn

Cracks of deception
Encasing my deepest core
Eternal bonds snap

My world, nothing more
Than a puppeteer grasping
Vulnerable hearts

*Winter

Withering away
In the chilling gales of truth
Fading to nothing

To drift upon winds
Scattered among sands of time
For eternal peace

How do you help
From so far away
You know they're safe
But are they okay

Communications all cut
Unable to know
What's manifesting inside
All I can do is turn to tommorow

Tell me what's wrong
I'm here to listen
Feeling sick in the stomach
A razor incision

Your heart is hurting
And I have no choice
But to wait in silence
Until I hear your voice

Gusts of wind
Torrential cyclones
Tearing down your will
Whirring gales pushing me away

Be ******
I will
To allow the storm
To succeed

I will break through
These storms carrying you
No matter how hard you deny me
I'll clear your bad weather if it brings me to my knees

I will enter the eye
Of your storm
Expelling the darkness
No matter the ending, I'll try

Just remember
I'm here
Forever
My dear

Heart and mind
So well intertwined
But sometimes world's apart
We all know how it starts

The tango of two
you just have no clue
What do you do
During this feud

Spinning and whirling around
They turn to you, their crowned
Your the master of the choice
The one with a mighty voice

Among the scattered sands
Blood of silent warriors flow
Masked by salty waves
Tears drip slow

Rusted steel reflects
Hidden scars of life
Burning souls living
Side by side with strife

Searching for an escape
From islands of sorrow
Waiting for the end
Fighting for tomorrow

Encased by her grasp
Succulent lips feed upon
Evanescent souls

My will, strong as rock
Endures the test of time

Guitar string plucked, piano keys played
A beautiful melodic serenade

With a gentle touch
And eyes so kind
With a soft sweet voice
And a vibrant mind

You heal the weak
With your broken soul
You repair their pieces
So you can feel whole

Your heart shall lay
Upon destinies gate
Protected by an aura
Of all love and fate

For every teardrop
Another's heart shall rise
Your soul buries their burdens
And carries their heart to the skies

If only your mirror
Reflected this upon you
Maybe your time
Wouldn't be up so soon
