Souls Remember

What is it about you that captivates me, 

leaves my heart with a gaping hole. 

 

You stay at bay, 

but your muse has much to say.

 

Your poetic love shines, 

creating a portal in time. 

 

We share a cosmic kiss,

before falling into life’s abyss.

 

Souls remember,

what the mind forgets.

Repetition

Maybe light was once kind
To the baby moth.
Perhaps, it never fully learned
How it had changed
Into the enemy.
Is this why it must return again?
Flap its fragile wings, 
Once more, against the pain,
Saying, 
Even until the very last time,


                  “Be as you were”

justified paranoia

Always on guard of the love you claimed was ours

as I looked up at the stars 

I realized I was holding onto too hard

Letting go of what’s died

 

You were never mine

Quick witted but with a weak spine

Your actions are predicted 

conditional love that’s bound to die in time

How you act has me sickened and I refuse to loose my mind

digging your own grave

 

I hope you’re haunted by the love you lost in the chaos you twisted and turned 

I’ll be the dove hanging onto the wire you burned 

In the quiet you conjure up all the spirits who will never return 

As I hold onto empty words 

How you tortured me in this chapter 

Cheers to your happy never after

self obsessed

 

You love calling me crazy too

Lying holding your breath you’re turning blue

As I start calling out your other muse

Said I’m the only one that you choose

Feeding me another empty excuse

You swung giving me the ugliest bruise

I've Been Wrung

Lick your fingers
Every last bit
Bend over
Take the hardest hit
Now, burn
And let me watch
Crumble
On the spot
Twist yourself in knots
I want the final drop
Then,
Become dust
Collapse and shed
Until the last sparkle
Of my Queens head
Is spent
Until the last glimmer
Of her glitter
Has bled
You belong to me
I own your soul
That is how
You line
Every pocket
With gold

Drawn

I'm drawn
Drawn to you
And I don't  know why.
I'm spoken for but you're who I think about all night.

I'm Drawn
Drawn to you
And and your eyes
Like big diamonds when we played with Lucy in the sky.


I'm Drawn
Drawn to you
And your voice
We werent in the same room but I could hear you
And I got excited and I had no choice

But to be drawn
Drawn to you
And all that you are.
I ba...

Building a fire

There's 2 sticks

Give it A lot of friction

A slow building tension

Allow it some time It'll start, don't whine

 

See the little embers? 

all of the smoke?

Take a step back so you don't choke.

Give it room to breathe

Just watch, you'll see.

See, there's a little flame 

all you need is a little time and patience

You wouldn't want all that effort to be wasted.

Losing you (Secret Bi)


You think that your losing me
But I’m losing part of you
You think that your hurting me
But it’s me who’s hurting you
You think you can save me
But it’s hard for you to do
Because I cause so much agony
And it’s me doing that to you

I fear for the future
I fear that you will leave
It feels you’ve lost the sparkle
And no longer believe
I know you reassure me
And there’s things you n...

Help to get me through (I’ve got you)

Trying hard to save me
Fighting hard to stay
Sorting through the feelings
That never go away
I may look harder from the outside
But no-one sees the me within
Cuz if they saw for just one moment
They would see I’m crumbling
 

I need help to get me through
Another day of feeling blue
Of feeling weak, I’m not that strong
Of feeling who I am is wrong
But I’ll get through
I know it’s tr...

17 and a half

Coastlines guard us along our way,

As we gaze and point to places during our stay.

Cold and fresh as we were weeks away from May,

"I love you" were the only things I could say.

 

Losing bags with cards for the year,

One too many expensive glasses of wine and beer.

Canvases and paintings in the rear,

You are my only peer. 

 

I took you to a special place,

Despite my...
