Do you truely hate me that much?
Is there anyone safe from your wrath?
You chose your path.
Do not blame me
if the outcome is not what
you thought it would be.
I warned you of the consequences.
Now all you have left
is to live with them.
Take your fury,
your vengeance,
and leave here.
Never darken my doorway
again,
or the pain you feel now
will be nothing compared
to the agony you will endure
if I or any if my clan
lays eyes on you
again.
You are dead to me.
Leave or feel my wrath,
and know what true vengeance
is.
I see you
walking alone in the moonlight.
Looking for something
you will never find.
Not until you look deep inside
where secrets lie,
and you finally admit
that the person you are,
the person we see,
is real.
Believe in yourself!
Once you do
you may find
what you seek
is not as elusive
as you may think.
Clear the head
Clear the eyes
Wait for the sun to shine
Murky waters
Misty skies
Wait for the sun to shine
Here I am
There you are
Wait for the sun to shine
Wait for me
Take flight be free
Wait for the sun to shine
Around, around
Lost but not found
When will the damn sun shine!
Lay me down
To sleep so sound
As you watch while the sun shines
I shake my head in wonder.
The night is still so young
yet I am tired to the bone
because of what was done.
I look to the sky for inspiration
the falling sun giving none.
Why do I question
what I know has no reason?
It has happened before,
it will happen again,
and here I am
waiting for the end.
Taking a deep breath
I give in to the fact,
it is what it is
and I cannot change that.
So many places
So many people
So many things to see
And so little time
How
When
Where
Why
Decisions to make
No time to take
Stop
Breathe
Take in what is around you
See what is behind
The mystery
Misty eyes
Filled with joy
Filled with tragedy
Make new friends
See old enemies
Tell the stories
Held within memories
Time is long
As it is short
Take what you have
and live
Pages before me. Each one filled with lines that swirl and connect into words that flow from my mind, never ending, wanting to be heard. Obstacles show themselves, keeping the words from telling their tale, damning them to be forgotten, driven back into the mist from which they slithered. How do I clear the debris that threatens to clog creativity to only a trickle? Concentration flits between subject to subject, never holding onto one long enough to bring a thought to fruition. A-B-C, 1-2-3, yes-no-maybe, to do or not to do. Forcing only causes water to slip though my fingers, while allowing to wander leaves fly away in the wind. Words flow through a mind filled with clutter, no end in sight, no savior on white horse on the horizon awaits, lost and alone, the battle drags on into the night.
Sinking into the mattress,
my pillow beckoning.
A night where the sheets
are heaven against my skin.
Eyes closed,
my mind begins to wander.
The days events
racing, tripping,
melding into one chaotic
mess of stress.
Tossing, turning,
nesting further under the covers,
I push those thoughts away
wanting instead to fly,
high in the sky.
Where real life is far, far away
and fantasy reigns.
Darkness descends
thoughts fade away
as sleep consumes.
The curtain slowly raises
revealing tonight’s festivities.
Whether it be light
or darkness perceived,
let the fun begin,
dreams unleashed.
