My back is aching; my eyes are burning
But somehow my soul is still left yearning:
To be awake
And full of wonder
To walk the earth
Before my slumber.

I fight after sundown, and into the night;
I refuse sleep
Until Life is right.

But my stamina is gone
I can fight it no more
I have to lay down now;
Close my eyes,
And open the door.

Her eyelashes
turn into little shy rainbows
when the sunlight
kisses the windowpanes of her soul,
& the pots of gold
are the simple dimples
that nestle in the quiet hues of her cheek,
Like a cool evening breeze...
She is.
The wispy butterflies
that playfully flutter within my hollow chest acknowledge her presence,
their wingtips scraping my paper rib cage
& knocking loose the flickering light bulb
that calls itself my beating heart,
So set apart...
Is she,
that diamonds line the inside of her thighs
& i just happened to find
traces of gold
in the scars that saunter down her spine.
You know what you want
Then say you don't
You know what to say
Then you simply won't

You know how you think
But constantly ignore
You know how to fix it
But somehow trust became a chore

You know what can't be
But refuse to call it quits
You know how to persevere
But even you fell for those tricks

You know you bend the rules
Yet you know how they all are
You know how to love
Yet your heart seems so sore

You know what you feel
Then think to disagree
You know you should be true
Then you think last of me

You know how to say yes
Yet never seemed to be asked
You know how it's played
Yet you always come in last

You know your confused
Yet you toss reason aside
You know your torn
Yet you refuse to decide

You know what you want
Then say you don't
You know what to say
Then you simply won't

The hardest person to know is yourself.
Your pace begins to noticeably pick up,
Your breaths are becoming shorter.
You begin to coach yourself mid stride,
"Glide don't gallop, you look like Tigger for Christ's sake!"

Eventually it washes over you,
You slowly fade into a Sudden abyss of Sorts.
You're no longer running nor jogging,
Hell you're not even moving.

You're somewhere else,
Somewhere you told your mind to take You.
It might be an altered memory of a Past victory
Or perhaps a fantasy in the near future.
Where ever you are,
You're alone.
Yet you are crowded at the same exact Time.
You're in complete control,
Yet you have no idea how to enter or Exit this state.

Before you know it,
You come too.
Back into the reality of your bodies Limits.
Your joints are aching and the lactic Acid has built in your upper thighs.
Your arms have grown heavier and Heavier.

How'd I not notice all this pain before?
Where was I?
All questions foreshadowed by this:


..What the hell do I have to do to get back?

If tomorrow you find that I'm gone,
Will you guys begin to understand
How weak and isolated I ended up being?
Or will you figure I'm off at school..

If tomorrow I don't wake up
Will you start to comprehend
How long I've been attempting to never take a breath again?
Or will you gape at the mess on my bed..

If tomorrow was my final day
And you knew it
Would you try to make me smile?
Or would you continue on acting like I'm invisible..

If tomorrow I don't come home,
If tomorrow I never open my bed room door
If tomorrow I took my last breath..

Do you think you did your job?

Here comes the regret...
After so long you're losing,
you don't miss..you just  lose.
Your interest..
And then what?
What are you doing?
You just walk away smiling and keep going,
until you find that ONE thing with whom
you will never regret, forget and lose.
Keep smiling, keep fighting, keep going...

Oceans of faith and skies of belief

Melodies of song in the rain of stars

Over to the moon from the mountain of snow

all I find is the oasis of your shade .....

Till the river goes dry n mountains burn

Till the time's still n sun stops to shine

I'll sing your song n paint your lips

Bright are the days n brighter are nights

The shores of the eyes are washed by the smile

Gone are the days with showers of blood

Like the twilight washing the tears of sun

and the rays of light kissing the ocean

Don't need a heaven as  I've got one

with the magic of roses in the garden of dreams

and your painting in the canvass of my life

Words are fragile when the heartbeat speaks

Eyes talking to eyes in the silent dusk

Feelings flowing with fragrance in the veins

standing in the heaven where I m a alive

Paradise once lost has found me again
