A patchy sky leaves the moonlight with arrythmia
Leaving me to match it's rhythm
As I play "red light green light"
With the eyes and teeth that twinkle
In the shadows like stars
Painted on the void
Just beyond what I can see
Happy Halloween!

You mind your steps
   after you've stumbled.
You miss your home
   after you’ve left it.
You value your health
   after you’ve been sick.

But you can’t enjoy life
   after you died.

He's pulled the wool over our eyes,
But there's a thread I can yank;
The fabric will unravel;
We will see again.
A hero is a candle
who burns Himself to give light

Saints bless
by turning suffering to joy
In their pain and tears,
they help others smile.

Faerie Plague
Can you look into my eyes
And watch my soul
As it struggles
Inside my head?

Can hold me close
And not let go
To stop me from breaking
Until all of my tears are shed?

Can you check my pulse
When I lay still
Peacefully
On my cold bed?

Can you try to be happy
When I finally smile
Inside the coffin
Already dead?

Sea's End
When two poets love,
Words start to hang in the air
And lose their meaning.
Another haiku? Wow! I'm only so good with words until I actually need to use them. Just ask my girl. (Spoiler alert: I'm really bad at articulating my thoughts in the heat of the moment. That's why I'm here.)

Help me.
Help me for I cry to the moon
Help me for i cannot love
Help me... For I am scared of what they speak
Help me for i cannot help myself.
Help me **** these demons that hold me captive in my own dark and shattered mind.
Help me for I've helped you..
It's not great... I just need to clear my head....

Sent with love
Tango with love
Camouflaged by love
I escaped my cage
Not a soul on earth
can ever trick me
into going back
Regardless what
you tell me
I am free.
I never quite understand why people fear being loved!

I’ve never received a flower
Or even a rose
But I’m a guy
So it’s acceptable I suppose
No kisses
Or sweets
No treats
That signifies ones feelings for me
No token of ones love
But I have gotten
Disappointment
Watered with hate
Planted in betrayal
Fertilized with lies
And maintained by fakes
Roses are Red
But my roses are dead
And crumble beneath my feet
