I try so hard
I fight the darkness
Till it clears into clouds
Things are never perfect

I try to play my part
The rest of the crew just don't have it
That, that is required to live
The blood stain on my diamond

This one thing I desire
Should be there all the way
Steadily grows into dark attire
Clouds are having their way

The dream remains a priority
I feel it blossom within me
Hence,will fight till blows pity me,
Hold back to let me in

As I soar in victory
Might hold back a piece of me
Probably will wake out of that dream
And yet have a place to live in
Pain
contained in a cell of skin and blood
throbs hard,
striking out at the walls with a thud
forlornly I stare
down at the bud
of the poem which I had wished to begin,
and wonder exactly which sin
this mind war is repentance for...
ah well, suppose it's sods law.
Head not feeling so good tonight :/ after a frustrating attempt at writing I decided to gain a small victory by attacking the headache in a poem (which it also tried to stop the creation of). :D
I stand empty handed...

pray fill them
with

your own

It's only you,
my dearest, my darkest;
it's only your
soft voice I hear
in the small hours.

These lilac bushes breathe
your name and the soil listens,
remembering everything.

It's only a whisper
of rose oil and
amber, of silk and
skin.

Just a whisper.

It's only you
in the small hours.
