I walk through the dark hall
hearing the lonely echoes of my footsteps
The hall extends as far as I can see in either direction
A dim light starts to form further away
Every step seems to make it grow brighter
I extend my arm out and try to grab it
but it seems to evade my grasp
I begin feeling feverish
My body is suddenly flushed with intense heat
My pace starts to quicken
and before I know it, I'm sprinting toward the now-blinding light
My skin feels like it is slowly melting away
I push through the heat fervently
With a flash, all is different
I no longer feel outrageously hot, but now more of a refreshing cool
It seems like I've gone into the light, through it perhaps
I look around with awe
The entire scene has completely transformed
I'm in a seemingly perpetual white space
I walk forward, but my footfalls no longer reverberate
I try to call out, but my voice makes  no sound
I clear my throat and offer another weak attempt
This time, there is a voice
but the voice does not belong to me.

I've had some of my clearest thoughts
out upon that balcony
I found the answers which I sought
I was happy, I was free
I remember lying there
without a worry on my mind
into the starry night I'd stare
and slowly let my thoughts unwind
the stars would shine
and so would the city
that moment was mine
it was so pretty.

My pen is running out of ink
I guess I don't have much time to think
there is so much I wish to say
but all these things are in my way
I think back to that summer night
just before we had the fight
it was so perfect then and there
a perfect moment that we shared
things got rocky at the end
but you said we'd still be friends
you and I know what that means
it doesn't call for a pretty scene
all the damage has been done
at least we had those nights of fun.
dang. my poetry is always so sad. I wonder why?

It hits in a spiritual, delirious way
the taste of blood is the only reminder
of how much I enjoy the pain

I crashed the car and I lived
I roamed the highway searching for your ghost
only to find it moved on long ago

We travelled 500 miles in this chase
for euphoria; the few signs on the way
urging us to follow separate paths

You're gone and I'm trapped
within this memory, a period of stasis
Cursing the alleged 'free road'
that brought us to this standstill.

(You never were one to take a risk,
always pausing to play it safe)

These selfish lights refuse to shift
throwing us back to different ends
of the spectrum once again

Yet I'm pulsing red, devilish hues
for you for you for you

If I could, I would crash all over again
But your lips are the only collision I need
and I was never one to wear a seat-belt

Beautiful endeavors
this path which we do stroll
Tempting terms and visions
on flowing fields a’ roll
Laughter sings the praises
of worlds we both have seen
Now we are together
and life is but a dream

Sunrise early mornings
soft the dawning breeze
Rustling poetic
through patterns in the trees
Songbirds sing good morning
as they fly above the dew
Now we are together
its like a dream come true

Love beyond the borders
into our hearts does leap
Glistening on amber waves
forever we shall keep
Atop the highest mountain
we glance down from above
Now we are together
*in dreams of perfect love
Sweet dreams Beautiful
