Blue melts into whiteness
Sad feelings washed away
This old world is spinning
I almost want to pray
Hear the maiden singing
For reason has no place
Rivers of depression
And hourglass grains of waste
Haunting echoes ghostly
Past demons that I see
Lay the past to quiet rest
T'is time to let things be
Eyes wide shut yet open
May just as well be closed
Bloody heart so broken
Just writing dreary prose
Vestal virgins calling
Waste not life's precious rose
Joy in seagulls singing
Much sweeter paths propose
Blue melts into whiteness
Please wash my tears away
New world is beginning
I almost want to pray...
World forever spinning
Noise and tears and strife
Tidal waves of sadness
The painful sting of life
Is there peace in stillness
Honeyed succor in the still
Forgetfulness in silence
No memories, good or ill?
Is sleep the key to freedom
Or the gateway to more hell
This the burning question
Where most painlessly to dwell?
I long for tranquil waters
Calm and rest from storms
No more masks to hide behind
No reasons to perform
Let me be the soul I am
Waive expectations that just bind
If I stop pretending
What harbor will I find?
Shattering my cruel chains
Is there joy in being free?
No more questions in my head
Is it right to just be me?
Broken, I am broken
You took your love away
Deep, this pain unspoken
Forever tears will stay
Still I hear the echo
Your words, you said, were true
As empty as your promises
For now you say we're through
See the scattered remnants
All pieces of my heart
Broke, for dreams long absent
You've torn my soul apart
Wings of hope lay bleeding
And no more shall I fly
In hurt I'm slowly drowning
Is this how I'm to die?
Loneliness unending
Memories filled with pain
World uncomprehending
What light then, still remains?

Salvation
Liquid Fire:
Sorrow melts and reforms
As heat seeps from my skin
Frozen Water:
Reflections of my memories are reborn
As frost settles on me once again
-
The liquidsparks flickered:
And I winced at that one image
A voice suddenly stutters
“I grasped forgiveness after the carnage.”
Restless echoes linger on
Retelling me stories of yesterday
Reminding me of when my courage was withdrawn
And the countless times I accepted those acts of hate
My scars shimmer every dawn
Each one has a wordless tale of mistakes
My eyes recorded the wrongs
As I relive the history I can't escape
Snowflakes descended gracefully:
As a cold-b
Dear brown eyes,
I feel like an idiot,
writing all these things.
But you said once that I don't say much.
So this is me, making up
for all that wasted time.
I don't know if you'd approve of these
metaphors or similes;
sentences broken up
by the east wind and scarecrows poking
out between the blanks
where I had to close my eyes to keep
from getting sad by
the honest fact that
I miss you so much,
it feels like a great,
big chunk of my rib cage is missing.
Dante, I don't want
to be just another misstep for you;
a guy who couldn't love you back.
It makes me sick.
It makes me feel like a coward;
ashamed, too scared to look up
at the virgin mo
If I was to bare all to you
What would be your reaction?
Would you hold me
As the wracking sobs left my body?
What if I told you
I wanted to let go?
Just free fall to the end
Would you pull me back?
Tell me to hold on?
Or would you look on
As I slowly destroy myself?
