#struck
Windows streaked
With stolen fears
Stolen strength
Stolen tears
Hearts staked
With wooden pain
Wooden words
Wooden stains
Futures struck
With broken doubts
Broken barriers
Broken shouts
Lives stuck
With frozen glue
Frozen hopes
Frozen dues

Awesome
I am happy to hear you are happy
I love happily ever afters
You deserve fairytales
Like we had once upon a time before midnight struck and switched everything back to ****

looking into his star struck eyes
my heart ticking
like a grandfather clock
is this the glorious moment
on bended knee
or return
the costumes to wardrobe

A sword stuck in its sheath
is used as a cudgel to strike the innocent
until a hardened circle has formed
and an iron grip developed.
A shell stuck in its chamber
fires unexpectedly
avoiding suitable targets
and striking unintended victims.
A missile launches from its silo
without a target
going straight into space
never looking at the striking planet left behind.

I fell with the most unexpected person
I was in awe by the thought of her
I felt giddy and my inner child was giggling
There were freaking dinosaurs in my stomach doing somersaults
Is this what it feels like to be in love and be loved? If not, then I don't want this to end.

As I look to the sky
Through the depths
Of the night
I see you shining
In your own right
For you are
A Shining Star
Then when I wish
Hope or Dream
Even experience reality
I know exactly
Where you are
Dear Shining Star
You Witness Me
My every breath
That I take
Showing how
I partake
In a sense
Of being struck
Star Stuck
By your Love!

_“Struck is the hour from its ivory tower,
At sixes and sevens, the stars in their heavens,
As minute hands dance at twilight's advance,
To the cadence of time, the archangel’s chime;
Listen closely for me at a quarter to thee,
‘Twixt the tick and the tock of grandpapa’s clock,
Unquicken thine pace, for run is the race,
Hear the pendulum lock, ziccoty, diccoty, dock._”

the lightning
that struck
my heart
the hail
that crushed
my soul
darling
you are the most
beautiful storm
i have ever seen

And then I saw it
And I knew
Overtaken as I was
That all of my prior perceptions of beauty were nothing
And that your memory
Was a far sight from all of God's green glory
Creative and free as the cattails and the rustic leaves
For which I am thankful
Most thankful

No luck with love
I'll admit it.
I commit and dive in,
sort of stuck.
All in or not at all,
that's my premise.
Awe-struck always,
if it's not working.

ever standing
body lithe, strong
trained to strike
too dashing for peeling paint
old verandas
slow-paced hamlet
waiting in country town
place to whizz past
road to tourist hub
how does his tale read
did he pay
for assault
struck the frame
holder of *****
spawning breath
cold fury
for scenes of his mother
thrown down
stain his every stance
grabbing mail swiftly
ahead of arrival
panther muscles
no more the crouching lad
shuddering
her screams
bounce off walls
as mother's body slumps
broken bottle scars
left to clean up the mess
as he leaves for school

Twice struck by stone.
Thrice in the twice,
Too close in proximity
To call home.
The night is young and
The world is vast,
I will not go to sleep tonight.
Twice struck by stone,
Once from the East and
Twice to the West.
My chest has become overwhelmed by
The swirling blood in my heart,
Tonight I will not fall asleep.
Steps forward turn into steps backwards,
Tonight will be a sleepless night.
Twice struck by stone,
In the last two days.
Many more do I own,
I lay down on alone,
Too many thrown
For me to remember
All through which I've grown.
Accustomed to the stones against my
Skin,
Flesh and
Bones;
Tonight,
I will not fall asleep.

before the storm did ensue
a calming lull was present
thence whisking winds picked up
as the lightning struck

day’s dagger struck deep,
hot,white, blood splashes on earth;
run to night’s shelter!

Palms sweaty,
Knees weak,
Pulse beating-
Faster and faster.
All I can think of
Is you and I don't
Know what to do-
I hate being in love.

The darkness under my eyes
reveals for the observant
my ongoing struggle of
the way of going, being and finding
for the majority it is yet concealed
under a mask I appear
looking bluntly bliss
Around me is a cycle
spinning worlds all over
dazed and confused I turn
as lightning it hits
leaving a burned inside
with tension through the veins
I lay struck but awake

me
on asphalt roads
she paraded me
what clown
am
i
her man muscles
squeezed me
what moisture from sky
that her teardrop be found
without
falling
when
am
i
structured feel me
what you have
sculpted
this
you
are
poetry scent
carry me through your next belly
for it is here
on
the
mountain
i have been waiting
time has pressed
on
my
chest
sing to me
of
vulutures
sing to me of thieves
what is this that you have chosen to take from me
that my line be defiled of meaning
that your thought crumble on me
what ocean have i drown you in
all these questions
we're asked
of
me
yes
we are
asked
of
me
ride
on
me
this
fine road she paved
?

Cannot sleep, all these memories are haunting me; purple and blue, a gift from you.
Will they stay? When will they fade?
To die like the happiness that seems to have left me, oh so heavy.
Take this heart, stomp out all the little pieces you created, all the pieces that you hated.
Hide my face away from the hidden, show me only to the blind.
Trust is not something that is easily given, especially from this heart of mine.
Lying on the ground, where you struck me down; battered, betrayed, I pray for the day.
Someone save me, for I am too shattered to do so myself, someone save me from this life that is my hell.
Help.

Love is like trying to catch a train,
All while standing on the tracks.
You are fascinated with how fast everything is moving,
But also, how slow it is moving all the same.
Everyone is yelling things at you.
So many people are telling you what to do.
You want to move,
You want to jump out of the way,
But nobody ever wants to miss their train.

i got silver
i got gold
i got a deal
i got sold
i got a lifetime
i got the world
i got a lot
i got no soul
and it all comes down
what was and never found
hidden in a mask
conformed under mass
i got power
i got luck
i got drugs
i got struck
i got strength
i got brains
i got pills that keep me sane

A long time ago
A joker lived here
A long time ago
A fool lived here
The Joker struck the fool
The fool fell aghast
The Joker watched his tears
The fool was not crying
The fool struck the joker
The joker jumped away
The fool cried at his laughs
The joker was crying
A long time ago
The Joker has died
A long time ago
The Fool has cried
