There’s a middle age man he is combing his hair

Glares at the mirror for the youth that isn’t there

It escaped him like poison and he drank it like wine

He never new the consequences at the time

Do I know them…..Do I know?

So society’s poisoned by the phone and the web

Watch the people live their lives without leaving their beds

Just a spectacle for our entertainment

I start wishing there was more to life than just this

But what……What could be more than this?

Everything is ready at the click of a mouse

No one will speak not even in their own house

So they start to forget that they even know the sound

Of their voices when they say hey I love you

They’re lost in their muses

But they’re false and they’re proud

Of the things that they think show about them

But they really say nothing and I’m feeling quite sad

Don’t you know…. You could be so much more

I say hold up a fist to the flame in the sky

And block out the light that’s reaching for our eyes

Cause it would blind us….blind us.

Well I’ve stopped taking time out

To consider these thoughts

And that’s a lie just as true as

I like missing shots

I’m confused…..I’m lost…..Who I am?

We’ll I say hey try me on

Maybe we’ll be the best of friends

or pass through my life

Like a dream through my head

Let’s see if…if I can do this…

But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time

A melody to keep my humming constant

I rhythm to set an example for these lungs

So I don’t give up and start falling fast asleep

A darkness so permanent that eventually I will greet
an imitation of "A Song to Pass the Time" by Bright Eyes
Drifting alone, floating in the candle light
Somewhere you're here, with me in the night

You're with me, but not
When I'm with you again, my pain will rot

Until the next day, but for now we depart
This night is mine, to dream of us
And I feel you, taking a space in my heart
A space saved for you, as it gathered dust

Peace is mine tonight, a gift
I can feel your lips on mine, so swift

My worries are away
I'm only waiting for the day

The day, when we can be
But the night, the peace; is my time for me

And I use it to dream of you
You make me feel so different, so new


But here I am, drifting alone in the candle light
By myself, but not alone tonight
Its funny how life passes you by, how in a split second things change.
How months felt like it was yesterday and
How years become dreams and faded memories.

When I look at the moon, you're so far but still close just astrayed.
How you leave me emptied handed even after I asked if you were okay.

When I look into the sea I wonder if your in the path you always wanted to be.
The waves tumble memories, the shore and waves meet
but never stay for long but just enough to touch my feet.

When you see me at night you might think I'm doing wrong but I'm just pondering as the night sky falls behind me. Silence speaks when you hear the trees weep people say its golden..

Your probably wondering why I visited people from my last but I was just closing doors from my past. I lay on the grass where we use to share laughs irony how I see you pass.

I watch the sky and the stars and I fade into an eerie daydream where its just you and me. But its gone left and unseen. But we aren't fools because we know the truth that lays in our grey colored eyes. No matter how much we pray and ask why.

There's  just* silence.

Because your just a ghost. A faded memory.
Who I talk to when I lay here and about to sleep.
I wonder if you ever hear me in your dreams. I guess I feel you weep.

To be honest I have no choice but to rejoice
even if its just a smile I wear on that's just worthwhile.

Live your dreams, and continue flirting on that girl that's not the one you use to hold.

Farewell I wish you the best was the last few words ill ever hear from you. And I'm off to my quest.....

In the next few days, things will *fade
away and fall into place... As a writer, stories are for eternity thanks for being part of my life's. Uncertainties
Unhook the latch
Linger your lips
Push harder till I feel the bones of your hips
Stay longer so your eyes mesh with mine
Honey, we got this, we'll be just fine
How do I know? I just do.
Can't you hear that?
See, we're breathing, we're dreaming
We're seeing ourselves
We're escaping
I'm escaping
I'm finding
myself,
with you.
I like sunsets,
You like sunrise,
You like to plan,
I like to surprise.

You're on stage,
I have stage fright,
You like to speak,
I like to write.

You want to run,
I want to fly,
You like to win,
I like to try.

I am cotton,
You are steel,
You like to think,
I like to feel.

Puzzle pieces shaped the same,
can't properly align.
We fit together perfectly,
When our differences combine.
She lives a quiet life,
she tiptoes around,
she whispers when she speaks,
she hardly ever makes a sound.

Although her words are quiet,
her mind is very loud.
She has so much to say,
but no one listens for soft sounds.

She's an invisible girl,
who doesn't want to stand out,
she just wants to be heard,
without having to shout.

Sometimes the loudest people,
aren't saying much at all.
Empty words and promises,
just leave their mouths and fall.

But whispered words fly high,
and catch peoples attention,
they're intriguing, so amazing,
but only when they listen.

So look outside the spotlight,
because often the real star,
isn't anyone on stage,
but the mind behind it all.
I want to go somewhere far
Somewhere calm,
Somewhere now.

I want to escape
from reality
from you
and from me

And just lay there,
eyes closed
quiet sound
and the wind
blowing against me.

Is it too hard?
just to escape
leave everything
so far away.

Then,
I suddenly find it,
peace and quiet.
Is this reality?
I am happy.

but then I see,
it was all a dream,
I am still here
In this house full of tears.

All that is left,
a memory held,
the tear stains
and the scars that remain.
This is my very first poem, and my first lenguage is not English, so be kind :)
