Promise of the cemetery
I’m walking beside a garden of stone stilled angels Their eyes are unmoving But their soul is cowering I’m cut between the heat of the earth, The burning sun and the salty sky I can’t choose the dirt in where I will lie But I can choose the way that I will die There's a towering night overhead With its sword filled...

I'm gonna do it like I've always done it
When I walk through a blink of a garden That hugs my legs And calls my mother To come collect these shards of broken glass I felt it on the kick of my leg With hours and more hours spent Asking for a chance to restart There wasn’t even a miracle To call and ask for a redo I felt the pain when...

Premium Member Accepting My Fate-Breathless
Quote "Dont play with fire - It doesn't play fair" This has been attributed to a song by the Rolling Stones. It started with burning embers, Prometheus, the fire god casts an evil spell. Then starts spot fires turning shrubs and plants into a smoldering dell . Conditions are unbearable and the growing flames are fanned by...

Premium Member Accepting God’s Hand
I was asked, “have you ever been hit on the jaw?” I replied, on occasion, I’ve hit a fist with my face. “Looks like scar tissue is the conclusion I draw” “but I’ll send it to the lab to be sure that’s the case” Four days later I got a call that had the answer, I knew it was bad...

Eye To Eye
We are so different, totally. There hardly is a thing that gives us common ground at all, but it is interesting – that we can still live side by side in pure peace if we try. Cuz everything is possible… when we see eye to eye. ...

Escaping Death
Escaping Death (written in a mental hospital) I escaped from Death today, And I don't know what to think. Because when Death comes round and round, you start to feel his scent and stink. There are others counting on me now. I can't let them down, this I know. So close to Death and yet, so certain- now...

Accepting Who You Are
There's no denying of the struggle, You feel when barely getting by, But you will never see clearly, Only using your eyes to cry. All starting with one small step, Encouraging belief everyday as you grow, Embrace the pride you feel inside, Even when your journey is slow. Bringing inner peace to your soul, Your thoughts will no longer scar, Rewarding your efforts by enjoying...

Premium Member Embracing the Storm
I am the storm that lost its own rhythm, laughter flaring, then burning to silence. Your imperfections swagger, and scars that tell unerasable stories. Some days I am a solid stream, unbendable, other days, a forest fire — wild, unrelenting. I falter, I burn too bright, but each autumn leaves a truth inside me. If you read me in bits and pieces, raw...

Accepting Eternity
Mental alerts send shocking images, Of an hourglass void of it's sand. I glance down at my watch in confusion, And see it's missing every hand. Realization begins to dawn on me, And I stagger under vicious blows. I wonder if time is in suspension, As my soul prepares for repose. Internally it's an obvious struggle, Some things cannot be forgiven. The amends I've...

Acceptance is electric Synaptic flicking of switches Enlightening shaded corners Part of me says I should remind myself Of the fleeting nature of joy But it's a good day Why tell myself good days end There's a chance some switches stay on And over time there's more light and less dark I can't know if there's a bill stacking up But sitting in the dark...
