Just Don'T Quit

Reaching out unconsciously, not knowing where to embark upon,
This damned spirit is grasping, doesnt know what else to do, 
With no vexed thoughts on whomever else may read or know,
My fingers press down with an anxious intent, focused and true,
No one else in this moment, these words are only meant for you.

Pain and misfortune is all my reflections allow me to view,
Guarded or misguided it seems I have traveled the earths crust,
For a first in my life there is the brightest of anticipations,
Fearful of its very outcome I stumble damn, shit, i can't get up,
Knowing what I want is so indisputably blatant, Its very much you.

That's obviously so easy to express, but wait why can't I let go,
Confused and consumed, my mind races for excuses and its ending,
Happiness forever graspless in my existance what am I to feel,
With little understanding of these chains that encircled my soul,
Our frienship to me is so unique, amazing yet nothing without you.

A liftime of emptiness forces my emotions and causes my hesitation,
Wasted time not a part of our experience if I can make it my own,
Decisions been made, letting go, I'm going to dive threw this fire,
Doesn't this seem crazy understanding that you're my true desire,
The way we meld just insane, said I made it easy, but only for you.

Now I've said my piece, there it is, there you have it, here you go,
This is all for naught if you've already made a different decision.
But if I'm right just do me a favor, turn to me and just say this,
"Its alright, I actually understand, I gave you your time, no worries here",
"It hasnt been easy for either of us and just know, I'm not going to quit!"

Just Breathe

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

Instances flash forward, inward thoughts spinning,
Moving backwards and front, moving every direction.
Kaliedascpoes of light flood thru with eyes shut.

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

Turning reflections and thoughts away always hard,
If only and what ifs neverending yet, never regret.
Times past so quickly, all choices left you here.

"Breathe'

"Breathe'

With each vision the mind races to grasp a reason.
Changing whats been, you feel the only recourse.
Wanting to pull the time machine out Wait, Stop...

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

Bursting forth with its gaping void of listlissness.
Emptiness engulfs, loneliness grasps toward the soul.
Temptations twist all vile entanglements many ways.

'Breathe'

'Breathe'
 
Holding angst back, actions of kindness your curse.
Aching heart burns cold and wilted, feeling lifeless.
Envy so green for others, so many held all you yearn,

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

Never look back, move forward, "it was what it was".
Future endeavours the only thoughts to truelly have.
Nothing held back, gates open where ever it may lead.

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

The coldness of the air fresh in the lungs; a new start.
The briskness refreshes and lifts spirits slowly up.
Thoughts fade for a second if only momentarily lost.

'Breathe'

'Breathe'

Stop, Wait, and Don'T Look Back,

Stop, wait, and don't look back,
Don’t worry you must know why!
It's just that I say “it is what it is”
To pause is just to want that back.

The future is all my heart craves,
A "change of the seasons" of sort.
Another lifetime to behold now,
Past is and will be forever the past

Forcing what I most want and desire,
Will be my one and only focused goal.
Leaving negativity and drama behind,
Tasks ahead will be urgently completed.

Some say the “grass is always greener”
I say “that change is forever needed” 
Time has come to let loose everything,
The chains that bind broken bring it on.

Throw at me whatever you may choose,
My mind is already set beyond content.
It doesn’t matter it never really will,
Obstacles have already been overcome.

Holding me back isn’t even your option,
Intensity and desire are focused now.
My intent is clear and is fully observed,
Emotions galore being kept all bottled up.

Knowing what is wanted surging forward,
Come along if you will it really matters not.
The future not set making it what I choose,
Door opened I pass thru forever searching!

Just Magic

With a sleight of hand and a sparkle of light,
Our magic effortlessly evades every mortal’s site.
Incantations and chanting tongue incessantly flowing
Most are absolutely bewitched without ever knowing.

Sentiments of excitement weakness, and even awe.
Wonderment befalls all gape with an open jaw.
Tapping the wand and gesturing a hand about,
Mind-boggling flashes gazillions of colors throughout.

Suddenly, the juncture clear a single silhouette stands.
Romantically he gestures unhurriedly opening his hands.
Divine messenger’s murmur deafening thunder roars. 
One finale undulation swift release uncovered it soars.

Floating star ward for each to witness and praise.
Creators’ creation it has only taken seven days.
Motionless yet descending now completely fulfilled.
Creator accomplished shroud away life begins thrilled.

Hope Remains

Pithos was originally the holder of it and then misinterpreted.

Arguing the very existence of it sometimes a fault we all utilize.

Nullifying everyone's belief in its reality forever causes sorrows.

Demanding of her and her giftedness always were the god’s.

Organizing quests for its location mans unending struggle. 

Reality swirls around denying us a look into its sealed contents.

Ancient to the mind but forever staying young within our souls

Searching relentlessly for its existence with wonderment man is.

Beyond reality intense evil befell the entire world once unsealed. 

Obscurely, she tried to close what she had carelessly opened.

X marks the spot - if someone looks in, hope is at its bottom.

The Infernal

Frigidness forces blood through these veins.
Age old affliction shadows us, producing pain.
Thoughts penetrating the darkness and night
Relishing their fear the only desire and delight

Voraciousness eternally the maladies' truth
Fatefully when turned each maintained its youth.
Necessity forces us to sleep before breaking dawn.
Wandering forever we scour for every new pawn.

Understanding Heaven will never be our haven.
Living while dead forever monstrosity's sin
Prayers unanswered hell genuinely our plight
Purposefully chasing termination to our fight

Reality tossed aside romancing every reaction.
Justifying our very existence the true affliction

Serial Pt1

Pain is an afterthought anymore,
The pureness of it so fulfilling,

Not for me but for those I adore,
The wait until the kill thrilling,

Blood oozes from my knife galore,
The nature of the act so chilling,

Crimson red swarms the dark floor,
The end near now dawn is nearing,

Each act causes my rage to soar,
The police are close how trifling, 

Throwing caution out the door,
The next victim my true calling,

Sweet Red Wine

Bewitchingly and exotically scanning your senses,
Softly altering capturing thoughts engaging memories,
Communicating with your labiums electrifying ferocity,
Soothingly gliding through the entries held secured,
Tenseness eases, with vigor seeking its acceptance,
Sequence executed, mere substance eternally explored,
Passionately coveting and craving, searching onward,
Dismissed interference, grasping for more savoriness.

The Dreamer

Standing I gaze through various windows and doorways.
Serene landscapes within each continuously changing for us.
My body tenses and quivers. My eyes burn and forehead sweats.
Each causes my mind to strain and grasp for thought.
Before me various lights dance and cascade, no music is heard.
The colors and shades dance, causing focus never to be gained.
Emotions burst forth sometimes pain, other times only joy.
Walking, running, falling the paths I choose never cease.
Figures and shapes stand before me no faces ever seen.
No speech or sound is ever heard, yet always understood.
Arms stretched failing to grasp always yearning for an answer.
Confused, my thoughts search eagerly for its very meaning.
Forever knowing that an answer is completely unyielding.
I scream my breath released with wet lips quivering.
I feel shaken and the darkness once again overcomes.
Suddenly I'm startled, my head raised, eyes now wide open.
Realizing the room is empty the dream is gone.

Struggle of Pestilence

Are you sitting down? Sit here, momentarily in this chair.
Let me convey to you something so very important.
Your body is unhinged to get mended will be a feat.
You must consume these pills, then obey those rules.
Forget your mannerisms and the way you even reason.
Everything you’ve ever celebrated is going to dissolve.
Pray to your messiah now with each waking day.
Your body must succumb for it to ever recuperate.
Everyone has an opinion but none have answers.
Sickness, pain and anguish with each petite step.
Tubes, needles and poison are the only solution.
Unhealthiness is hard to overcome, “please go away”.
Concealing the expressions in my hands sobbing, aching,
Occasionally wishing my conclusion was already here.
Foresight that the next day will only elevate anguish,
Swiftly I must awaken for this a new day has come!
“Why? Don’t force me! I ache, this future bleak!”
Inspiration came I knew that I had to ascend, reawaken.
Why today? I know why! It’s the assessment time.
Pressing forward, desiring worthy news to discover.
Optimistic that when his mouth agape I will be clear.
The inactivity induces more angst then the distress.
With many souls here, when did this supervene and why.
The seating room so crowded yet I only think for myself.
No longer distracted by my ailment I now pray for them.
Each can get through this let them envision my resolve.
Be firm, be courageous mustn’t sway from the objective.
Please lord; give these others the strength to overcome.
Being an unmerciful road, I hope the masses fare as well.
Throat knotting up and my eyes begin to fill with tears.
Hearing his voice petrifies my soul and yet encourages.
Walking in smiling, his exclamation so wonderful.
It’s gone, it has disappeared, finally time for me to rejoice.
