Faltering Shadows


He watched it slowly as it started to bloom,
the Black of the rose in the center of the
room,
the burgundy of the streaks inside,
showing emotion that try to hide,
spreading slowly ths solitary flower
who couldn't help but watch hour after hour
the future of life was to unfold,
whispered the shadows that fell, obscuring
the stories to be told,
fully open the black rose screams.
A rose in full bloom, but with no sweet
dreams
when first it bore that rose anew,
no one knew what it would live through.
The buildings overhead, obscuring the sky
knowing, just knowing the rose would die
as the petals fly off, carried by the wind,
some brushing and caressing my skin.
The Black forse in that starlit night
and the petals flowing in the wind, induced
flight.
Holding the second in one bare hand
a black rose from Who-Knows-What Land,
he watched it slowly as it started to bloom,
a solitary rose in the center of the room.


Feel the Pain

I can't only feel the pain when I'm hurt,
But when I'm sad.
I can't only feel the pain when someone I love is hurt,
But when they are dying.
I can't only feel the pain when someone I love is dying,
But when they are gone.
I can feel the pain inside
When I know the person has tried so hard to get through it,
But they never did.


Love

It's the strangest feeling you can ever have.
You recognize it, but u cant explain it.
You feel pain, but then you are completely numb.
You're trapped in a dreamlike state, but everything is
real.
A mixture of cliche and powerful feelings and truth.
A blend of light and darkness and chaos inside.
Blooming passions and erupting fantasies.
Pouring rain of past tears that you play in while
laughing.
Fire that consumes your mind and releases buried lust.
A desire that lay sleeping behind glass has broken
through.
Echoing screams that came from your mouth long ago
Now ring through your ear as beautifully as a rivers
rippling song.
All the longing you have felt in your shallow and
empty life
Has now been filled by that one mysterious and
powerful thing
Called love.


Untitled Empty

Running away
my blinding eye
can't focus but all I see
is you.
Trying not to cry
I grope the darkness
for a sign of life
but there is none.
Reaching afar
can't seem to find
what it is that I search for.
There can be no life.
Falling quickly
to the ground
whispered a curse
that no one can hear.
Looking around
my ornate prison
see trinkets abound
but no one for me.
Pounding of my heart
drowns out the noise
of the silence engulfing me.
Crawling around
to try to find
your arms that keep me safe.


But you aren't here.


Life Stories

Life is a story
Neither long nor short
The more you've written
The farther you go
The more you know
The ending is blank
The beginning is over
Now the middle is what's left
And you can't start over
So life your life
And tell your story
Fill it with detail
Don't wait till the closing
The pen is in your hand
The idea is in your head
So begin already
Don't wait till you're dead.


Winter

Golden sunset cast a shadow.
Worlds of birth fall still.
Grasp the thread of life
Before it slips away.
A treasure drifts to sleep
As morning turns to night.
A hidden danger lifts her face
Smirking, slithering into the dark.
Flashing glances bearing hate
For all the peaceful life.
Crawling through a silent keep
Death follows in her wake.
Silver, shattered, gleaming sky.
Shivering, withering, ready to die.
Hallow heart, burning passions
Whipping through the world alive.
Icy touch of hate and pain
Resentment for the company.
Always alone and dancing still.
Searching, wailing and unheard.
Laughing winds pass through my head
As Winter takes over me again.
She raises walls around my soul.
I'm prisoner to a frozen madness.


Lonely Daughter

Wandering these darkened steets
The wind does chill her bone.
She reaches in vain for love,
Until she realizes she's alone.
Sleeping silently on the street
Jack Frost gnawing at her nose
This lonely daughter finds her love.
This is how her story goes.
Beaten against the cold.
Frozen amid the night.
A warmth washes or her body
And she reaches out for the light.
A soft warm hand she touches.
A gorgeous voice she hears.
A fire is lit deep in her heart
As the face of her soul mate appears.
Holding out his hand
He lifts her from the ground.
"Poor lonely girl," he whispers,
"With me you'll be safe and sound."
Bleeding was nothing but healing,
Dying was nothing but life,
Until she met her one true love
And slaughtered all her strife.
Fighting against her demons
She bravely stood her ground.
At last she stood alone again
As they uttered not a sound.
Now little one, you know
Of a woman who conquered Death.
She fought for the soul of her only love
Until her last dying breath.
Little girl I've shown you now.
When you gaze upon the water
See your face and remember child,
For you are the lonely daughter.


Not Real

In my world of light and grace
I worship every day.
No breath I draw, no friend I make
Will I ever throw away.
In my mind you're beautiful
And my love is what you feel.
We're locked away behind closed doors
Because beyond them you're not real.
I touch your face and smile.
You hold me close to you
But outside my mind you don't exist
No matter what I do.
Your hair is soft and golden.
Your voice is warm and clear.
Your embrace is firm and gentle, but
Once I open my eyes you're not here.
How I've wanted to share my pain with
Someone I thought I'd never find.
Here you are and here you'll stay
As the creation of my mind.
Your smile, your love, your presence
Will never disappear.
You stand by my side protecting my
And banishing my fear.
I can't love in real life
With out dying first.
Away from that world I'm free of pain.
I am blessed instead of cursed.
My darling, born whithin my mind
Who I can touch and feel,
Please never leave my side again
Because you are not real.
