Lifeless and broken
In the rush of life's rapids
I've lost who I am.

Sandy sunlit shore
Secluded from life's bustle
Tranquil paradise

Excitement is mellowed

Provoked to madness
A desperate bid for normal
To take back control

The sound of sweet persuasion
An echo in your ear,
Those words that start the doubting
Until your spirit disappears.
The whisper of a stranger
Worming at your soul,
Their aim, to start you doubting,
Their victim, your resolve.

Oh, they notice me
Now that I'm gone, finally,
Appreciated.

A long road.
A short walk.
My heavy feet despair.
Each step.
Along a street
I'll never see the end.
Before me light,
I stand
At the edge of night
Longing to take
One more step
On this long road,
Before turning back to pain.

Gleaming before me
A frost coated wonderland
I gaze, overwhelmed.

From the hand of mighty Zeus
Flies forth destruction, as he looses
Thunderbolt and lightning strike
'Mongst fields of heathens, causing blight
On those who shun his noble name
As we his faithful watch, in vain
We told them so....

Roused every morning
By birdsong and the bitter
Whiff of strong coffee.

Adorned with some concrete shoes
It is accomplished

Flourish, in the rays of fame
Light that floods into your life
Open up, come blossom, bloom
Whilst your face remains in sight.
Every rose must die too soon
Robbed through young and vibrant life.

You say
I'm yours,
We're meant
Together
Made for
Each other
To stay
Forever.
I hear
I listen
Your words
Don't fit.
My head
Won't let
My heart
Be happy.
I hear
But stay
Forever
Uncertain.

Alone in its happy glow

Uncautious hatred
For those on whom it relied
Left the bird extinct.

Be still my mind
My beating head
Which plagues me
with distrust,
Be calmed.
Relax my thoughts,
No secret shadow
Lurks through every
Sealed door
Poised ready to strike.
No threat is here
My anxious brain
No danger lurks
So sleep,
And let me rest.

Burning through night
Radient flares
Ignighted by passion
Giving light and
Hope to all it touches.
True love shines.

Suffocate with heavy time

A thousand untold stories
Fight for birth through ink.
