Derailed

on a wayward train
upon tracks of emotions
far off hope derails
in the silence of my cries
his love tried to cork my tears

Picture Perfect

I drew a smile across her face
Though it was deceiving
Painted her into a lovely place
Me, myself believing
Adorned her dress, exquisite details
All of this for show
Beneath my ink, her life derails
No one will ever know

Failure

I accomplish things for so long then I fail

Like a train on a long trip and it derails
I don't stop what I begin
But the failure continues to win
I put my heart into everything I do
But I continue to fail what else is new

Who Is God

festivities of the elevated
ocean derails into a vol-
canic eruption of iso-
teric consumption
retarding ways of rage
cools into an organic
mass of ice then me-
lts fossils of the
extinct creatures sere-
nading the warm broth
of growth
who is god

Fragile

Why is it so, that so easily, my mind rebukes, the wisdom of its days, and follies with jokes of ill witted humour, which serendipidously challenge friendships hand, casts love and joy aside in an instant, derails the path ahead, and makes for a future, alone.

Premium Member Indifference

When love grows cold
Puzzled and confused we grieve
Like a malignancy spreads
Deadly deception
Manifests astounds derails
Emotions self-pride riot
Rushing into defense mode

Like chemo exhausts
Worn drained the storm clouds gather
Advice abundant
Blind dates rejected
Remission slowly ensues
Indifference born

What If Today Was the Day Ii?

What if today was the day?
When all else fails
Do you have back up plan?

What if today was the day?
When your life derails
Do you know when it began?

What if today was the day?
When that ship set sails
Will you be a drowning man?

What if today was the day?
When life still prevails
Will you stand and say "I Can"?

Walking In the Rain

Walking In The Rain

In the rain
I like to walk
When my heart
Is in pain,
Walking keeps me
Contained.

The cold drops
On my face,
Make me
Feel sane
And numbs the pain.

Rain helps the membranes
of my brain
sort out this pain
before my train
derails and wanes.

My world
rocks and shakes
when I sit still
but
seems to
stay the same
when I
walk in the rain.

Casualties

I am standing in peat.
The war drags on.

The dirt is raw,
squirting on to fingernails
turning them blue.
Who was running away
from hinges ?

The genital warts were
spreading. The cold facts will
wear casuistry. The train
derails. Only the earth
is hurt.

Dreams cannot close the
wounds. You want to go
where the jungle is. Teeth
are broken. Eyes
become the house for ants.

Benediction

Not every dark cloud signals rain,
Not every burn leaves a scar,
And not every tear signals pain.
Not all in the celestial of night is a star,
Not everything that derails is a train,
And not all that stops before red is a car.
But all that rides the tide of living soon dies,
Yet in his ascension his glory lies.

Fear

Fear is an appealing danger 
With all logic to withhold your full capability 
It lives in heart's manger 
The heart attached itself to duality

Where one see its own detriment
And his grace cum chances 
But live in fun-filled trances 
Than going for a hard moment

Moments define our shortcomings 
Responsibility is key to get stronger 
Fear derails our bearings comings 
Yet everyone isn't getting younger 

#Itsfearfulsometimes
But be ye bold!
