Those eyes, those hazel light brown eyes
Watching me, seducing me, enticing me
Creeping into my mind and stealing my thoughts

Those lips, those perfect soft lips
Kissing their way into my soul
Promising a life of love untold

Those arms, those strong, strong arms
Holding me at my weakest
Protecting me from the world

That heart, that caring heart
Overflowing with unconditional love
Wrapping me up in a cocoon of warmth

That soul, that perfect soul
The other half of me made whole.

I’ve heard them say pain demands to be felt
This surely is a little too real.
Just a little to mean.
A little too… painful.
Could it be that it’s all just a dream?
Oh what this world would be like if you did not exist.
PAIN. I envy you. I adore you.
Sometimes you’re the only one that reminds me I’m alive.
The happiness is too... fake.
It comes and goes but never stays.
But you. PAIN, you never leave.
You make your home in our hearts,
And leave but a smidge of space for everything else.
You help us build walls of ice and steel.
Trapping us behind a castle of heartache so deep.
You’re a loyal companion, always ever-present.
We try and fail to bury you, what is your intent?
Alas, you rise stronger each time,
Your army is vast and your war sublime.
You crush and destroy everything inside.
Slowly making us craze while enjoying the ride.
I welcome you to walk with me.
Even in my PAIN I will find victory.
You are a master at conjuring up memories.
So I will sit and watch with you these treasuries.
I embrace your skillful hand.
In your presence I will stand.
Unafraid of your power.
Standing proud in the face of your towers.
Let us walk for we are one.
In this race through life I now know I am not alone.

Strip away these pains I feel
They are nothing more than unending torture
Wrap me up in a blanket of steel
That I might absorb your strength and power
Clip away my freedom wings
That I might not fall each time I fly
Cast away this emptiness
That I might not dwell on my loneliness
Rip away my heart
That I might not feel it crumble and break
And hold close my soul
That I might not watch as my light fades beyond control.

It’s like eating a ray of sunshine
It zaps through your body with disarming force
And you’re falling, falling into a state of oblivion
Moving through time and space
The floor just dissolves beneath your feet and you’re left shattered
So many pieces, so many beautiful pieces
All falling together, falling apart and being reconstructed
Like a puzzle that’s finally found the missing piece
And when it comes together with such force it is a pleasure to behold
Gravity has no hold on you and you’re flying through space
This is it.
The moment time stands still.
Meshing past, present and future together
Nothing matters any longer and you’re all feeling
All senses heightened by a pleasure so fierce you’re awestruck
This what it feels like to realize your sovereignty
To realize your worth
To realize that the freedom you have is not controlled by any other but yourself
This is the moment you feel your power from within
This is the moment you refuse to be anything but what you’re meant to be
This is the moment that you become great.

We are born and raised in a life of devastation
As technology evolves we become part cyborg
Slowly losing all emotion and feeling
We pay to live in a world that gives freely what we need
One question that refuses to be answered is why we were created
To what end do we exist?
Are we here to merely showcase the creators magnificence?
What a flawed creation we are
Broken and defeated before we were ever conceived
Vile little creatures power hungry for anything that make us seem huge
We live our lives as immortal beings when death is ever present
Nagging at us from every turn yet we look the other way
We portray beautiful lies to make this world a better place
We never see ourselves for what we are
A dying breed of parasites sent to destroy this earth
Why should we be saved?
If we were to flee to an unknown world what would we do better there?
Is it not in our genes to be as vile as we are great ?
Is it not in our genes to be as violent as we are peaceful?
And is it not in our genes to hate as much as we love?
Why then should we be given a second chance?
To try and change what we destroyed?
It is inevitable, we are creatures born to destruction and destruction is what we bring
Whether it be here or another world
We are doomed, from beginning to end
Plagued with sickness and disease and overrun with hatred and despair
I too would not save this dying destructive race
For we are beautifully broken and devastatingly human.

I long to walk away from the stress of human ways
To sleep beneath the stars and just watch mother earth have her way
I long to sink my fingers and toes into her sand
And feel the beat of her heart as she whispers in my hand
Blessing me with slight breezes that caress my face
Little droplets of water that plant kisses all over me enveloping me in a warm embrace
I long to get lost in the beauty of her soul
Listening to her history and stories untold
I long for the freedom of feeling whole
where she takes me and cradles me as if to console
I long to go back from whence I once came
Her love and adoration is always proclaimed
I am born of her beauty and created from her heart
Gifted with exquisiteness that only she imparts
I yearn for her peace and steadfast strength
To see to her children whom she has not condemned
She is mine, my very heart and soul
She is my earth, my mother, my being made whole.

Strange little things, that’s what we are
Broken things, wandering through life one careless step at a time
Searching and searching for something to complete and fulfill us
Something that gives meaning to our existence
There must be a greater reason, a greater reason than just existing
I often wonder how people believe they have power
How they believe that we’re superior beings
We’re capable of so much hurt, of so much pain, of so much violence
Would it all just vanish if we knew our true purpose and weren’t bent on destroying for power?
We’re like caged birds trying to soar with clipped wings
Afraid of all the things that should make us stronger
Does anyone even see the beauty of the earth anymore?
Do their bodies not hum with refreshed energy when they feel the sunlight on their skin?
What a world we could be, if only...
If only we stopped and remembered to breathe
If only we stopped and remembered our humanity
If only, I wonder, just for moment, if only we believed in what we could be
The earth, mother earth has welcomed us in her arms since the beginning of time
We treat her like everything else in this world, like something to be discarded
And I wonder, I wonder of the day she finally has enough and decides that we’re not worth saving
A species so bent on destroying itself
My heart shatters, breaks
Will anything ever be enough for us in this world?
When all the riches are gone and all the minerals are used up
What will we fight for then?
