[x]

When fragile hopes and fears collide
It waits for you on the other side

I can feel the tremors in my soul
I've grown afraid of the masquerade.
Barely holding on, I'm losing control
Wide awake, I confide in the shade.

Sinking so slowly down the drain
Much like the purple pill I swallow.
A voice unheard is a voice in vane
Black rain falls and teardrop's follow.

Shadows loom throughout the room
They cover my eyes like a veil.
Just flip the switch, it'll be over soon
Just pull the curtain over the pale.

The transition rattles my psyche at first
Yet it's a feeling I've always invited.
For when my body becomes submersed
I discover

The Writer's One Second SparkSense no darkness when I am wide awake and on fire,
I could do this for another second, another minute, another hour.
Oh what creativity in this cortex that blossoms like the simple flower,
How these intricate rhymes of innocent words give my heart,
Such a pounding energy of pride to recycle my writer's power.

Sense no blindness when I am wide awake and full of desire,
I could do this for another day, another week, another year.
Oh what brilliance in this brain that emotes like the complex tear,
How those delicate rhythms of distant beats give my soul,
Such a resounding spark of arrogance to rekindle my writer's fear.

No More LightThis dream has become a reality
The once imaginary pain has become real
Kneeling before the altar I scream
The dead pull me apart

They tear at my memories
Twisting reality
Slowly I can see all the dead people walk.
They have come back for me

I did not ask for this pain
The pain that the dead have brought
Life no longer shines in this dark world of pain
Pain created by my mind

The time is soon when I will be consumed
End it all with a quick twist
The graceful blade across a trembling wrist
It is much too late for redemption.

This lifeless body marches with the dead.
Bleeding out all the pain of tomorrow.

Forbidden LoveStaring deep into your eyes I can see it
These feelings are so real they want to break free from my skin.
You can see right into me
I'm an open book to you.
Only You.
Your sky blue eyes pierce right to my heart
I could look into them all day.
But I cannot for love is forbidden.
And I know that this is love for they have taught me every feeling but this
It is more beautiful than any feeling I have ever felt
You take my hand and squeeze it tight
Knowing that they cannot erase our feelings
We hide together to talk all day
Afraid that they may find us
And wipe it away
But fear cannot destroy this feeling
I will break the law and L

ConfessionsMy throat is choking
Closing shut at the thought of these words
I'm choking on myself and I can't breathe

Although you're far away
I can still imagine you here
Where these words would choke me to silence

Tonight I'll use these fingertips
And send these thoughts intentionally
I'll rebuild what I've destroyed
I'll be better than I was before

The LakeStaring into the glass reflection shining below
Placing my hand into the silver liquid that flows
Slipping slowly into the water to feel its cold bite
Swimming away from the edge deeper into the lake
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
Limbs are freezing yet feel so alive
Lungs are burning from swimming to far
Turning slowly to begin the trip back
A current catches my legs and rips me under
Struggling
Struggling
Struggling
Can't reach the surface
Air is escaping from empty lungs
A shimmer of light above the glass cage
Burning blood that prays for oxygen
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
My still form lying at the bottom
In a deep permanent slumb

Standing By...I hear the cries of those who need me,
and I want to save them all.
It's driving me crazy,
because I am tormented by them too.
I can not save them,
if I try, how would I start.
No land to give,
no money to lend,
we can barely make it by ourselves.
I'm not strong,
I'm not able to do it all.
I'm not pure enough,
because I still have my demons.
I want to be strong,
though I don't know how.
I want to be pure,
but I never will,
because I'm only human.
I hear the tears fall,
and I can do nothing but stand by and cry too.
Standing by.....
I hate doing just that.
And yet, it's all I can do.
And I hate doing nothing but stand

Tortured GirlIn the deep dark forest.
Cries and screams
are all that can be heard.
Hush my girl
I know what's best.
Like a caged bird,
trapped forever more.
Your beautiful white dress
is stained with blood.
You run and run,
but all you find is a closed door.
Your tears have started a flood.
Mocking voices
at every turn.
They cheer and clap at your pain.
The flame it burns you.
Your body is bounded by chains.
You are a tortured girl,
longing to see your true love again.
They say you have a evil soul.
They think your love for him was a sin.
But your love for him made your heart whole once again....

With Baited BreathPiano keys strike
Young giggles sound
Two smiles in the dark
Wayward feet bound

Fast out of breath
From flight
And from stares

Subconscious battles
While mental eye glares

Together then silent
Apart then loud
My heart won't decide
If it's safe or sound

High in the bell tower
I sit perched in perplexion
And with baited breath I wait
For my heart to give sanction

RebirthRust ridden gears
Start to crank
In the dark

The soiled paper
Breathes
Ideas start to embark

Long awaited
Returns
Of friends
From afar

Words and stories
All entwine
In a long lost
Artist's
Heart

Now the pen
Is at the paper
Forever
No longer
Apart

Living for its dreams
Starting from the start

JADE Project Mental InstabilityMy mental health is once again unstable.
Scared of mirrors, seeing things that's not there.. I wait for the voices to approach me.
What will they say.. What will they make me do?
I'm not afraid.
The voices I hear don't exist.
It's all in my mind..
I've been wide awake yet out of my body.
I could see through a second pair of eyes from my very own mind.
I might not be normal but I'm far from sick.
What will happen to me when the voices takes over and the shadows become real?
Will I still be me?
Where will I be when the voices disappear?

TaleSomething
Inside it.
The trees and the air.
Something
That haunts me.
My monsters are there.

  'It comes'
     'It's here'
'It hears'
'You fear'

Beasts
out of shadows.
Their hearts pumping ink.
Skins
coal-polluted.
With eyes that can't blink.

        'It's teeth'
  'It's hand'
               'My fear'
  command

Witches
and Demons.
Where all born to grow.
Bandits
and Liars.
And I never know.

   'the wolf'
-It's gone
            'a chill'
'to bone'

Deep
in the forest
Where light non arrive.
There
in the forest.
Where dreams are alive.

'No hood'
  'No red'
                  'no gun'
     'no shed'

Keep
looking always.
Your back not to

In the Dead of NightAs your name leaves my lips
In the dead of night
A shiver runs down my spine
And not one of delight.
Your eyes, they haunt me
But not as much as before
Because day after day
I realize that perhaps it's not your slate blue eyes that haunt me....
But hazel and blue instead.
The sudden realization makes me sick
As I try in confusion to make sense of it.
The thoughts of them and the feelings...
My mask that I so carefully placed to prevent this
Is breaking.
As their names leave my lips
In the dead of night
A shiver runs down my spine
And I don't know if it's one of delight.

Square the CircleShall this poem be worth your time,
Know this now, I’m not in my prime.
Etching thoughts in streams of air,
Breathing in the cause of despair.

One line written and then erased,
The product is surely to be left unpraised.
Words crossed out again and again,
Heard this pen scream, “When will this begin!”

As soft as silk and as rapid as water,
Yet its flow is like earth, maybe harder.
Wonder if birds also tire to sing,
Lose their voices to taunts beguiling?

Chaos stands with well-earned respect,
Minds ravaged to deal in retrospect.
Madness turned to Turmoil’s good friend,
Heaving insanity to uncoil and unbend.

From a h

*December Shadow*December sunlight slants low
Shadow follows where I go
Just ahead it walks like me
Silent companion like to see.

Turning we merge, becoming one
For short while it has gone
Mystery apparation surely mine
Shadow dependent on sunshine.

On dark days when all is drear
Particularly at this time of year
Walk alone, watch breath rise
Hands in pockets, muffled sigh.

Past summer haunts, all look cold
Silent shadow has desolved
Walking alone through winter street
Bright day needed so we can meet.

Bloodshot EyesI stare at the mirror, but what do I see?
Two bloodshot eyes staring back at me.
These pools of crimson foretell my demise
My descent into madness, the truth I despise.

I stare at the screen, but what do I find?
No love, no comfort, no peace of mind.
I strain and I squint while my sanity cries
I shudder to think I'm surrounded by spies.

I stare at her picture, but what do I feel?
Shrouded by doubt, those memories congeal.
She fuels the fire with her intrepid lies
Lingering on my periphery she sighs.

I stare at the ceiling, but what do I think?
I'm left alone as I hang on the brink.
I'm stricken with pain from these mortal ties

Shattered GirlBrushing her hair, she stares at the moonlight
Eagerly waiting for her love to call.
Tells herself everything will be alright
As she takes refuge inside of it all.

The nights drift by, the pain she cannot take
She wears the mask that fools all the rest.
Breathing nervously her legs start to shake
Holding the phone up close to her chest.

Her smiles resemble a wilted rose
Showing beauty and sadness in one.
Her parents suspect, her suffering shows
Fearing that it's only begun.

Down the hall she discovers the nightmare
Catches her love with a girl intertwined.
Clutching the wall, she falls apart right there
Becoming shattered both

Sweet DarknessHold me gently sweet darkness of mine
Cloud my dreams with your wicked design.
Ensnare my mind with your blacken haze
Transfix my eyes with your phantom gaze.

The lights fade low
The pain doth show.
Confound by all, I love it so.

Engulf my soul and cradle my fears
Rain down on me with your nightfall tears.
Whisper to me your notions of death
Prey onto me with every waking breath.

The cold winds blow
The blood doth flow.
Enticed by all, I love it so.

Perchance I scream from your soothing touch
Constrict my heart in your velvet clutch.
Slay me softly the way that you do
All that I love resides within you.

The shadows grow
The

The CourtyardCome one come all, the courtyard calls.

Wayward travelers gather round
There is much beauty to be found.
The wandering minstrels and gallant knights
All find solace in the courtyard tonight.

Join in the merriment to all your hearts content.

The sonatas carry far upon the midnight air
The townsfolk rejoice, no time for despair.
Cacophonies of laughter show no signs of plight
All is joyous in the courtyard tonight.

Bask in the abundance of sheer elegance.

The central fountain sparkles amidst the starlight
Bringing forth the moon that shines ever so bright.
From princess to jester, all share the same sight
All is prosperous in the

HipsterHe saunters down the alley wondering where the night will take him.
He carries a mellow beat amongst the stars he has awakened.
The seasons change and rearrange the space left in his mind.
His bohemian soul will forever stroll through cities undefined.

Coffee breaks in strange cafes bring new perspective to his ways.
Plaid shirts and slim cut jeans project the style which he conveys.
While conformist ears only hear the sounds of B.o.B
His ears are tuned to only the best of MGMT.

He wanders the gallery halls of time with sheer and utter amazement
Surrounded by vibrant self-expressions he finally feels content.
His passion carries him

Redemption RoadRedemption road oh where does it go?
Through miles of pain and suffering I know.
It twists and twines like a serpent's spine
It slithers through the caverns of your mind.

Your heart breaks as your body shakes
The haunting sound of laughter quakes.
Be forewarned you've only just begun
To fall like the night or rise like the sun.

The going is slow as you all may know.
The corruption is vast but does not show.
The ordeals are many among the task at hand
You fall from the wicked you couldn't withstand.

The darkness consumes and seeps its way in
It misconstrues your views and you begin to sin.
Jaded and tainted you feel no remorse

On our honeymoon day we drove
Down the mountain pass and cove.
With starry eyes, are love we swore
To be together forevermore.

Tell me dear, have we arrived yet?
For we haven't a moment to lose.
We'll be there soon my sweet rosette
I'll tell you love, you're my only muse.

Tell me dear, who sets your heart ablaze
With an ever so softly placed kiss?
I'm awestruck by your burning gaze
I'll tell you love, you're my eternal bliss

Tell me dear, why your hair remains still
Amongst this harshest of wind that blows?
Your charming smile evokes such thrill
I'll tell you love, you're my exquisite rose.

Tell me dear, why your dress is torn?
It laid so beautifully against your skin.
Unlike this dress, my heart hasn't worn.
I'll tell you love, to cherish me within.

Tell me dear, what is this place?
It looks quite desolate and gray.
My eyes see nothing but your grace
I'll tell you love, we shall not fray.

Tell me dear, why it's grown so silent?
I cannot hear the faintest sound.
Your lilting voice makes me content
I'll tell you love, please keep me around.

Tell me dear, why you feel so cold
As dusk fades and night grows nearer?
Just hold me tight till we grow old
I'll tell you love, there's nothing to fear.

Tell me dear, why I feel so astray?
This sensation I don't understand.
Perhaps my light can guide your way
I'll tell you love, just take my hand.

On their honeymoon day they drove
Down the mountain pass and cove.
Together they still lay side by side
With no recollection of the day they died.
