Hiding away
In cage
Scared to stray
Upon lifes stage

Here I am once again
In a place I know to well
Perched upon the blank plain
I imagine it worse than hell

It seems I have left but a speck
Of imagination for possible creation
I say to myself "it will return, just give it a sec"
My mind full of nothing, the void invasion

Every time I return to the absence
It draws me in deeper, draining
My thoughts, causing the loss of sense
My dreams and hopes it's consuming

Will I escape this time
Will I ever create another rhyme
Or will my thoughts be silent as a mime
NO, this is just an obstacle I shall climb

I will make it out alive
My inspiration shall kick in
So for this I shall strive
Splash this void with creation and win

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

[\    It takes just one seed
  \ \  To cause an endless war of greed
Massacring all for not an ounce of need

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

Paper filled
Of heart and soul
Empowering words
Mending our whole

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

The drip from my arm
Creates vibrant worlds on paper

Penetrating affliction
Outsourcing addiction
Infectious incision
Soulless prison
Obnoxious affection
N**octurnal reflection

Your lips are my poison
Slowly my soul drips away

Proudly
Printing
Poetry
Purely for the
Purpose of
Pouring my
Personality for
People to
Perceive

If searching for a purpose
Isn't that a purpose itself

I keep coming to one question
One that sends me through illusion
Why did I close that door
It keeps burning me straight to the core

I tell myself its for the best
But in the end I keep ending in a mess
Stirred up, turned over, twisted aside
Stung deep feeling parts of me have died

Maybe one day I'll stand upon this pain
But until that day my eyes continue to rain

Is destiny reality
Or just a falsity
Once I believed in destiny
Now I believe it's insanity

I'm a little lost for which path to take
I've been given so many
I just don't want to make a mistake
There are just so many possibilities

Which one is the right
Which one do I pick
Will I end up with a fright
Will I end up really sick

Too many choices
And so many voices
How do I know
Which path to follow

No longer do I believe
That there is destiny
My own path I shall conceive
Have I just created my own insanity

It's come to a point in time
For just some random rhymes
Rhyming in a random way
For when there isn't much to say

Just flow with your feelings
Let them bounce off the ceilings
It will roll off your tongue
It will be heard and be sung

It's not hard at all
Just try starting small
And the more you rhyme
Shall make it sublime

Enjoy each line
And every word you sign
Keep it with your heart
And it will flow into pure art

A flower doesn't
bloom in an instant

Animals master survival,
What do we master?

"Normal" a rating
Created by majority

Horrid screams pierce the walls
Razor claws slice from thin air
The Predator strikes once more
Sending you to the abyssal lair

I feel restless and empty
For the smiling faces around are plenty
But none of these faces send me
To the fields of feeling free

Trapped in a cage
Upon lifes grand stage
Only to rot away with age

Damaged and broken
My heart removed for a token
Never felt more awoken

They tear me apart with their masquerade
Deep into my mind they invade
Cutting it to pieces with a serenade
Then left like a stray dog I begin to fade

We are Phoenix's
beginning as a soul
  to be born under human bonds.
Going through pain and troubles
only to triumph in the end
  as to fall and burn to be reborn.
It doesn't end there
we die but only to be reborn
  as a soul to stand before heavens gates.
Never truly die
we are eternal
  forever love.

The blazing phoenix
Soars to the skies
With tender flames

Bursting into ash
Drifting among the winds
To the ground it rains

Piles of ash cold as ice
Scattered remains
Begin to rise

With exploding heat
Born again ready to fly
Off it soars back to the skies

Whose eyes do you see
Staring back in the mirror

Harmonious vibrations of existence
Resonate silently through
Heart and soul

I reminis times of beauty
That we never truly had

Through the whispers of the winds
I glide in to be heard
Then retreat to the shadows
Hidden in your words

Today's another day
Just like the rest
I sit here pondering
With my thoughts all a mess

Imagination whirling
On turntables inside
And all I can come up with
Is this repeated style of write

The flame that fuels me
Also turns me to ash

What is this of which people
call the road to tomorrow
Why can't I see where it leads me
Why don't I see which I want to know

This road isn't built
on which my thoughts are spilt
I'm trying to know that of which is unknown
The thing that no one is ever shown

Only with time I seem to find
pieces of answer to my question
to where is my future to wind
Lost in a filled blank section

Along this twisted unseen road
Creating my own view
of my life that I've sowed
through the choices that I issue

This is the road to tomorrow
there is no time you can borrow
so make it while you got it
Create a path to which you fit

The road to wisdom
Travels mountains of pain
And valleys of sorrow
A journey through torrential rain

Waltzing fields of joy
Gracious gardens of love
Floating through clouded skies
Getting lost in the stars above

Fighting demons from east to west
Meeting angels north to south
Experiencing more than the best
Flavours of life resting in mouth

Will you lay and wait
In a shackled prison
Or will you  make it count
And take your journey to wisdom

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

Don't bury deep inside your fear
Share your worries, let us hear
Scared we are all deep inside
But in each other we can all confide
And in the right bearing we shall steer

Toxic pulsations burn your retina
Engulfed in sensations of addiction

I draw my pen
From its sheathe
Taking up my stance

Target now
Within my sight
I begin my advance

I reach into
The realm of dreams
In hope to retrieve my muse

Instead I draw
Upon cracked slates
Broken and abused

Petals float on the winds
Warm breeze strokes my hair
Springs chorus envolopes my ears
Mesmerizing aromas fill the air

Interrupted, chills down my spine
No longer dreaming a warm desire
Icy gales freeze to my face
Winter winds cutting like wire

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

Silently holds dear
Every last word
Careful not to smear.
Recklessly told
Effortlessly severe,
Trust turns cold

Curvacious body of a temptress
Tantalizing goddess thieves my soul

One seed grows a forest
One second burnt to ashes

I lay here watching as the sands of time run from your eyes.
Helplessly I wait as your soul cracks,
Spindling a spiders web on the verge of shattering

My inner core carved from the glass of your broken sorrows.
Deep in every crevice of your veins,
You begin to bleed dry.

I hear your screams of wondering why.
I try to absorb some of your pain,
But all it does is drown me in a devouring sludge,
Trying to consume us both.

I wish to caress your feint beating heart,
But you can't hear my words or feel my touch through the shattering breeze of a dreaded distance

Sweet nothings
Inlay the
Lips of an
Eternally
Naked
Chorus of pure
E**ssence

When that smile lights up your day
You break a little inside
You know the words you want to say
But instead you bury them and hide

The soothing of their voice in ear
Puts your hairs on end
You build your voice for them to hear
But silence is all you send

You'd do anything for your love
Across the universe you'd endeavor
Eyes that glitter like the stars above
Sign your heart forever

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

Stolen Heart, Forever To Be Never

Torn and breaking
Worn and aching
Sleeping with eyes wide open
Nerves creaking, inside broken

Pushed to the limits
Barely pulling through it
Body feels its going to snap
All for that green crap

Greedy rich men drawing us in
For we need to survive
Waving green, we're worshipping
Feeding on us barely alive

It's time to enter a sleepless mind
The cogs and wheels spin and grind
I hear the whistles and the chimes

My head racing faster than a v8
Thoughts are larger than a U.S state
For my sleep I am ever so late

Clocks in my head, tick tocking
Side to side my head rocking
Chains pulling of the ship docking

Inside a war is going
Bullets and missiles a throwing
Explosions is all, lost for all knowing

Eternity lost in void of thought
Reminiscing on all I was taught
Consistent darkness you haunt

A sleepless mind is what I see
It is all I know how to be
So if don't you mind, come join me

A crescent flashed
for but an instant
Impenetrable barricades smashed
as if non-existent

Silent lights flicker
as the butterflies rise
Crimson rushes ever quicker
Unchained, set upon the skies

Share your joy all around
Moments now rarely found
Inviting all without a sound
Laughter and fun will be inbound
E**mbrace the love which surrounds

Boundless imagination soaked in madness
Vast worlds of creation, endless

My life is like a spiders web
Strand for strand intertwined
An ordered chaos built each day
From my soul this web is lined

Twisted and tangled in a mess
Full of insects which upon I feast
These are the bad memories that I have
Deep inside I conceal the beast

Because of those moonlit nights
My web shimmers like a lake
These are the good times that shine
Those memories shall never break

Some strands of my web
Are sticky and gross
But all in all they stand strong
Because this is just how life goes

A web of unimaginable entanglement
Strand for strand intertwined
An ordered chaos built through time
This web my soul has lined
