In This Garden

This place is full of wonder, full of great sites
A walk in the blissful rays of colored lights
Take me by the hand and pleasure my sensory
Tickle my nose with the smell of your fragrancy
Your tranquility calms me to a state of awe
I could look at you for days and not find any flaw
Even though mistakes can be made
The site of you makes those mistakes fade

Have you ever wondered how your soul can wander?
Bump into each other from far beyond yonder?
Did you ever see the beauty in me?
Even at my worst could you really see?
A shadow of truth, which dwells within these walls
A Utopian garden of truth, which an empty voice calls
Delving in the interior I can only be amazed
By all of the pretty things about you; my feelings are raised

Mesmerized by your being; intellectual with insight
I know that together we will only burn bright
The empty yard is now filled with dreams
Covering the persistence of my piercing screams
A hollow body has been filled
A terrible angst has been killed
And my imagination has now been thrilled
So all we can do from here is build

Still yet, I wonder as I gaze into your radiant eyes
The twists and turns are for frequent surprise
As I get to know you further for who you are
You have given me reason to believe we are up to par
Driven in ways to get the chance to make you mine
I could not give you up, for which you are particularly devine
Within my limits, for I have chose
I confess that I want you, the alluring rose

In this garden which you appease
All of our sorrows will begin to seize
Love is a feeling, it can feel like rain
The drops can be refreshing, or bring lots of pain
I know with you we can be as one
Take a walk in this garden where we won't have to run
I will always remain with you, from dusk until dawn
Just imagine someone there for you, someone who will never be gone.

Vengeance

Blood in my site as I go for the kill
Better calm down and take another pill
All the rage surges through as I lose control
The minute I black-out I could lose my soul
Negative reinforcement saturates my mind
Leaving all the crushed up pieces behind

Destruction reigns upon me, seeking to destroy it all
I know once I’m done you can only want to fall
Left in the wake you will only feel the burn
Just the idea of it can make your stomach churn
The image of taking you down sends pleasure to my brain
Best not to mess with me for this terror I will reign

I have you in my vision and I keep a close eye
When you try to sneak away I’ll say, “nice try…”
I’ve got you in my clutches, I’ve got you where I want
I’ve trapped you in a frenzy, a place where I can taunt
Don’t you try to run, don’t you try to hide
This revenge is bitter sweet and no one is on your side

You make my bones ache and my body squirm
I would love to knock you dead and make your life short term
I can hardly believe you have any life at all
I know that you can't achieve anything more than a cat call
Pathetic and pointless you are, just wait and see
I laugh in this ugly face of yours because you are nothing compared to me

The moment is righteous the minute I strike 
Time slows down to bask in the glory
The time is now for something to like
The scene is oh so gory
I don’t have to make it up by submitting to a penance
I’m just glad I have made you suffer with my vengeance

Cinderella

Have courage and be kind
Her mother's wishes still fresh in her mind
For she had not a single bone of hate
Leading her courage and kindness to seal her fate

The days turned to months and those to years
For only time could calm her falling tears
Then her father passed leaving her his name
Never realizing his latest wife would bring so much shame.

It was seen so clearly how she was jealous
Along with her two daughters, still Cinderella was zealous
Even when she was ordered to laundry and dishes
And cleaning the pond while feeding the fishes.

Still she always smiled with light in her eyes
For so long she was wrongfully mistreated though one surprise
Her dress torn and ripped to shreds
That is when Cinderella put down her head.

And as her sweet heart ached
She heard a voice that beautifully sang
"A dream is a wish your heart makes"
And that is when the magic became real, make no mistakes.

A pumpkin turned to a carriage
Her simple appearance would unknowingly find a perfect marriage
Placing her as queen, in which she deserved to be
Sometimes magic can exist; just wish and look and you will see.

Then, I Wanted To Reach You

"I have created perception in you
only in order to be the object of my perception.
If then you perceive Me, you perceive yourself.
But you cannot perceive Me through yourself,
It is through my eyes that you see Me and see yourself,
Through your eyes you cannot see Me."

[Ibn' Arabi - 'Alone with the Alone': Henry Corbin]

When sunlight touched your hair, in my memory lane; 
I merged into a time, denying all my present. 
I woke up in laughter and pain, 
and there, I saw you! 
 
When night creeps in,
When closed eyes diminish 
All lights in the darkness, 
Leaving nothing left to ponder, 
Nothing to feel in that utter black.
Only the sheer pain of darkness, 
The blindness of souls is all that is left. 
 
Then, I wanted to reach you, 
I wanted to see your face and touch your purity, 
But only felt that my whole body is weeping 
In fatigued-out tiredness,
I felt so incapable inside. 
 
You were still smiling;
You were telling me something softly. 
I was too deaf to decipher the sound, 
I was so caught up in fighting with introspection 
Of some weary self-drawn emotions. 
 
What did I need to do to clear the vision? 
Why your face is so hazy, so unclear?

Quailimore Drive

The strangiest livestreet of all the days,
No place so perfectly townsplit,
Half of this street is in Fillblubber,
And the other half is in Cawbit.

The Nensorays on the Fillblubber side,
Never utter or cry or caportle.
The house as soundpinched as olimats,
No one knows why they are so fortle.

The Packershaws on the Cawbit side,
Own a dwelling that is so farumtious.
They pride themselves in gorgons of riches,
Unaware they are oh so varaitious.

The Xebaisys on the Fillblubber side,
Have a flogarden the morost serene.
It’as only eshalias and gymions,
Any else is a destorphious weed.

Lastly, the Larpins on the Cawbit side,
Never passtimers in their humblethy home,
Always wogging or waving or whisinging, 
With no newsilly noise becom’ere own

A few other neighdwells are on the street,
But they are soridon and mundane.
Maybe they’et a corbin of chance,
When they feel somelse than kiffer pain

A place where love carfuffles and kings,
Where skipperly children run and play.
Nowhere is so Bretumptian awill remain,
The strangiest livestreet of all the days.

Ten Little Golden Girls

Ten little golden girls swung from a vine
One branch broke, and then there were nine.

Nine little golden girls went to skate
One fell through a crack, and then there were eight.

Eight little golden girls dined on some chevon
One's dish was raw, and then there were seven.

Seven little golden girls stacked some old bricks
One was hit in the head, and then there were six.

Six little golden girls decided to take a drive
One struck a tree, and then there were five.

Five little golden girls went out to shore
One took a nosedive, and then there were four.

Four little golden girls went out for tea
One was poisoned, and then there were three.

Three little golden girls sailed in a canoe
Then came an abrupt wind; one could not swim, and then there were two.

Two little golden girls went out shopping for some fun
The little girl got stuck in a store, and then there was one.

One little golden girl stumbled upon a gun
She fortuitously pulled the trigger, and then there were none.

Bittersweet Bliss

It's strange how ten years doesn't seem so long ago, when I saw you running past that shady oak. At first I thought, you can't believe every boy you see might be the one, when a quarter of your life isn't even done.

But I still remember when we were face to face, standing under God's good grace. We were so young, and I used to be fun. You loved me and you didn't even know it yet.

Now ten years later here I am, trying to put back together what we had again. I die more every day not knowing how much more I can take of this. It's killing me, this bittersweet bliss.

Four years feels like yesterday, when you broke my heart since you went away. I pushed you too far and so slow, I guess I never believed that you would really go.

I can see myself in twenty years, still trying to fight back these tears. I know I must sound so crazy, but honestly your love did a lot more than phase me. I guess now I will have to live with all of this, it's still killing me, this bittersweet bliss.

Only You

I will be there for you any time you need
I cannot say whether you'll do the same
Whenever your heart may bleed
I'll be whispering your alluring name
Even if you refuse to accede
I will be there for you with no shame

I will take your hands when you appear lost
With no promises you will hold onto mine
No matter how it will completely exhaust
Our souls together, which they align
Never leaving, no matter the cost
For our existence as one is simply benign.

I will grasp your frame when you begin to cry
Despite your petulance, my lips will smile
They will kiss your face until those tears dry
I will run that extra mile
No matter how resistant you are or how you defy
Being near you makes all sorrow worth while

And no matter what people say
I adore you
And love you in every possible way
With my heart of gold I will erase the blue
I will turn your storm into a snug and sunny day
Although construe, all of my words are endlessly true.

Understood Silence

When you try and speak there are things you cannot say
It is as if the strongest winds carry your words away

Yet still, your eyes captivate inside of mine
Even without words, I can read the unspoken sign

Your silent thoughts flow through my intellect inevitably
And your hushed phrases are still spoken quite eloquently

For days it seems, we've stood face to face
Breathing the same air, taking up the same space

But every time I reach out to touch that face, you try to disappear
Pulling back with every inch as you begin to hide in fear

These minutes have grown slower and at a drastic rate
It is starting to seem as if your mind is beginning to dissipate

It's harmless for you to converse with me, through grand and grave
Take those first steps and initiate with me, be brave

Just hold on to my hands and you will feel it, too
I will show you how to be colorful, instead of black and blue.

Downs and Ups

There are times when waking up is hard
Easier when you are near yet difficult if far
That's when I stay down like a fallen card
As though I am as stuck as a star.

Do you watch the moon while I see it shine?
Are there lights or is it darker
I have chills running through my spine
And you're straightening it with a thick marker.

Strange as can be that falling asleep is worst
Always staying awake until I see the sun has risen
My sleep patterns are reversed
My soul is in prison

Even when I try nothing seems to work
All I ever do is lay awake
While our memories lurk
In my dreams with multiple retakes.

Flowers bloom but always die
Beautiful until they fall to the ground
Their petals disintegrate as they lie
And they do it without making any sound

I just want to be loved for who I am
All of the negative simply makes me ill
Through every tear, I still swam
Because I still have plenty in life to fulfill.
