Silver Wolf Nov 2013
A curiosity at the velocity
Of the travel of boulders
Crashing into ships
Descending upon us
Second goes by
Pauses looks around
And time resumes again
Speeding towards insanity
My mind screams yes
You say no
You will regret
Hindsight goes hand in hand
With impulse
The consequence
The aftermath
Of your decisions
Silver Wolf Nov 2013
Now you know why
I’m afraid of flying high
How can you leave everything
So far behind
Forget your problems temporary
Then fall back down flat on your face
And have a fist fight with reality
That you tried so hard to escape
To defy
To deny
All those years
I feel trapped
Claw at the fogged up windowpane
Tempted to shatter glass
Make impact
Leaving marks
Imperfect streaks smudging
The view
Blurring the scenery
Until everything fades into
This oneness
This Monotony
And everything appears
To be the same hue of gray
Even the brightest shades of
Colors wash out over time
Years later no one will remember
Forget the history their lives
Forget the daring leaps she made
And smoky ash litters the ground
A residue of what could have been
Silver Wolf Nov 2013
A single teardrop rolls down my cheek
My heart has been broken for so long, it is now turned to stone
I'm no longer alive, a wilted rose dropped carelessly to die
I cannot live without you
Silver Wolf Nov 2013
Your hands reaching towards the sun
They’ve conned you into thinking its fun
Grabbing fistfuls of darkness
While longing the lightness
Feel it slipping through
Almost as elusive as finding remnants of you
Before happiness was a memory you could only dream of
And frozen snapshots of her face the girl you used to love
Reaching reaching reaching reach for a hand
Anything you can hold on to
Try to lighten up find someone new
So you let down your guard
And grab mine hard
As you trust me to lift your body
Higher up than anybody
Because you know I can
And I know you can
You strive toward the feeling of lightness
Like a ghost there but not really there
Watching in the background you used to stand
Now you find out you really can’t
As more falls to the ground
The lower you sink down
Going through the motions
Mind zombified you lost your emotions
Your vitality your control
You became so focused on your goal
When will you be satisfied
When will you realize
That too less is too much
A revelation falls from the sky
Carries to your mind
In the form of a white lily
The voice whispering in your head
Lying in the hospital bed
The lighter you are
The heavier my heart becomes
Silver Wolf Nov 2013
Try to put me in a box
Castrate me
The box you say
Defining everything
I was
I am
I could be
Would be
Will be
Stick a piece of tape
The label
On my head
Spells out the
Who
What
Why
How
That’s what you say
Anyway
And they
Follow me
Trace the path my footsteps take
Always close by
Never far behind
As they try
To categorize me
Put into the container
The name
As they see best fit
Believing it
Encompasses
Contains
Covers
Embraces
Comprises
Everything about
Me  
But the problem
With labels
Is that
They are for boxes
Not people
Silver Wolf Nov 2013
threading through memories of your past
weaving hopes and dreams on the loom of life
in and out
under the hanging overpass
over a creaking bridge
poised to collapse beneath me
constantly testing me
asking me the question embedded in my heart
take the route of avoidance
and back again
echo patterns of yesterday
trace back to the start
follow through a silver thread
I perfect my backwards walk
Across the avenue
As I make amends
Picking up pieces of broken glass
My collection of mistakes
Trying untangling knots
That can’t be untangled
Longing for the day
When string flows freely once again
Silver Wolf Nov 2013
Lose yourself
Desensitize and block out
Fade back into the vast canvas
Of your mind
Splattered with crimson
Tears and gray sorrow hang heavy
Intoxicating carrying burdens of your soul
Obscuring all that you are
All that you know
Plunge into ebony
Dance with the darkness
You take a spin with
The shadows
Succumb to the want
The desire of your isolation
And recoil
Numb to all the pain surrounding
Alone is easier after all
