Falling
in the dark night,
the rain;
soft tears of beauty,
moonlight drips
from the eye of sky
down the cheek of the abandoned city.

The flecks of light
spark  wildfire,
from its whisper,
the sounding of one's desires
reveal in the quiet
the path to finding
one's self again.

After being lost
for so long
it is riveting,
the feeling of being at home
in your own skin;
as earth shattering
as the birds playing their violins,
welcoming the morning sunrise.

It is a pleasure to be alive.
melancholy eyes
i am drawn to their soft cry
my own reflection
existing inside of you
a pain that i recognize
That moment you meet someone who you relate to so well. Its like seeing yourself in the mirror. You develop a bond throught the tragedies and pain you share, and joy in finding someone who understands.
grey on top of grey
everything black and white
some days it feels like
i've woken up on the
wrong side of the sky
silver horizon
i will reach the pentacle
of the mountain
hold the moon in my hands
accomplish all of my dreams
graveyard shift
the night is paved in darkness
all the things i miss
i want them back, especially
the heart you stole from me
walking on air is
as easy as breathing it
when Im with you the
stars are not so far away
I dream in endless color
i liked it better
when love was a lovely rose
not a prickly thorn
when you carried soft eyes for me
and not a heart of stone
I want to know
the secrets you keep
buried deep
beneath your surface
ones you weep
into the night
I want to be
the dark that guards your light
keep safe your soul
The light is dim.
The wings of a crow
beat the clouds thin
into wisps of fog.
In the residue of silence
I try to think of ways
to make you see me,
only to realize
how naive i am.
There is no forcing sight.
The eyes either see
or they don't.
One in love
and the other not;
the blind cant lead the blind.
One must let go.
I must let go.

lost in his phone
that businessman
misses the sunset
