They say energy never dies
but never said it'd stay for the entire ride
hand in hand, losing their minds
Even in the darkness
there's nowhere to hide
thought that when their worlds decided to collide
the pain would finally subside
Did they ever really try?
or did they just shut down inside?
countless excruciating tears they've cried
yet still numb from losing so many loved ones
that died...
time after time after time
consuming lust filled emotions
had them drowning in eachother's souls
but fears fueled the endless lies
that their bruised egos told
slowly making their hearts turn cold
so unaware of the true dimension they belonged in
a place they created together as their souls continued intertwining & binding
defining forever manifested their own demons
tryna protect themselves
from expected cruel intentions
boy, they were relentless
made nothing but a huge mess of this
love & desire
mixed with fear & anger
created an unextinguishable fire
adding fuel to the flames
whenever he was inside her
one anotherss new drug
they couldn't get any higher
Is what we have all too good to be true?
Is it too much I want to always be with you?
Our love reminds me why I shall carry on through.
Your voice, your smile free me from feeling blue.
Am I really unfairly expecting too much,
When I say I always need to feel your touch.
As much as I want you here every day and night;
A weekly basis makes us fonder, so it's alright.
Is what I feel for you, what you feel for me too?
Are you the one for me, and am I the one for you?
I realized you're the one my soul was waiting for.
I just hope you also feel we have met before.
Am I right to feel we are the same rays of light?
Am I right to feel I cannot insult you in any fight?
Is it too much if I say you're perfect in every way?
For me, you are my safe harbour in life's bay.
Though our times go fast,
I believe our love will last.
Our love's healing me.
Through you I forget my past.
With you, future is so vast.
Through life, I learnt things about you so much.
Through your faith, God and I got more in touch.
Only shortly after meeting you, did I finally realize
Loss of former loves was a blessing in disguise.
Through life, I was learning, yearning, dreaming.
I recall dreams: it seems it was you I was seeing.
Before you, I was missing something, someone:
I never knew what, until our first date was done.
Through life, you were taught and loved very well.
Due to your faith, God empowers you with a spell.
After you had learned we are of similar mind,
You took a chance and realized I am also so kind.
Through life, you stayed loving despite betrayal.
You don't have to be alone holding in every tale.
You were looking for something you lost long ago.
I was looking for you, so I will never truly let go.
she notices the change
the sudden shift in how I move
she asks why
I tell her nothing and smile
we talked about this already
why bring it up again
a smile hiding the resentment
leaving her to wonder why
I suffer in the dark
while she only sees my availability
silently destroyed within
my emotional survivability
drained and effortless
unable to explain
with distance ever growing
as does the bitterness
only a continuation of energy collection
without a care for my mind
a deep void
too dark to exist
a pathetic fallacy
an embodiment desperately clinging to within
I don't like her
Not hate, I just know I could be better
Obsidian hair falls over her face
Perfectly
Why not me?
When will I be lucky?
Today he is wearing burgundy
His raspy voice tickles so good
Oh! Look...
She is dancing on him
Her existence makes mine so dim
I don't like her
My bag is heavy today
A little shopping you know
Strayed into his set yesterday
I don't know how
We were just meant to be
His cologne smells so good
And no, I am not a creep
It was laying around
I will keep it safe and sound
His vest smells heavenly! Did I tell you that?
Cigarette butt
Whisky glass
Vintage hat
That belt forged from brass...
I can still taste his essence
Don't worry I just put out his cigarette
Protect the environment I guess
Mrs. Jagger
Makes me kick my feet
Reminiscing future memories
Breakfast in bed
I would give him total servitude
Surely my tarot readings are true
Luck is for the chosen few
I work hard just to...
To be in the same room
And her
He is in my stars
But am I in his?
Do you think I'm crazy?
She was called Jules, nickname for Julie
She had flaming red hair and eyes
of emerald green
Every time she walked into a room,
just her presence caused quite
an electric scene,
She made her living writing songs
& acting on the silver screen
Meanwhile the guy she Loved was
a simple blue collar man,
Gave her everything he could
Just wanted her to have all the good,
Said, "I'll support you anyway I can"
The world would never know his name,
He never sought fortune or fame,
But at day's end, they were each other's
Biggest fans

Goodbye my little August
Here comes your time to fly
I’ve loved you, to be honest
Much better than July
September’s on the threshold
The summer paid its price
The autumn wind blows cold
Precedes the winter ice
Though many autumns I have seen
And winters in their prime
I couldn’t imagine it would seem
Like a delayed goodbye
More nights, my darling, without you
More leaves at your back door
But memories remain like new
We thought they would, before.
Grace divine makes me triumphantly glow
Race in life I can win midst trials' blow
Freed from fear of insecurity's blight
Creed with good deed radiates faith's delight.
Heart thanks God for blessed victorious gain
Part in sharing love, joy and peace will reign
Hope prevails while compassion works with zest
Scope yon sharing reaches all to be blest.
Journey,
Hurry.
Driving,
Striving.
Hostels,
Portals.
Hold raft,
Hard graft.
Giant,
Tennant.
Blinded,
Blighted.
Circe,
Tricky.
Swine herd,
He heard.
Circe,
Sleepy.
Prophet,
Home set.
Hades,
Tight squeeze.
Converse,
Reverse.
Stop-off,
Gods’ shove.
Birth place,
White lace.
Suitors,
Looters.
Disguise;
My eyes.
Deceive,
Relieve.
Kill all,
Wife tall.
Freedom,
Kingdom.
Love will,
Prevail.
Drip of melting wings,
love echo cuts low pulse wide,
spill of garnet inks
wisdom fallen from sky eyes,
love low leads to a heart's highs...

The Question Is
By Frank Daub
How could I have doubted
in that sky-colored look of yours
any
words spilled in the air between us.
With the melting honey fragrance of
your hair
and the litany of intentions filling
the pale luster of your face.
How could I have questioned anything.
Or would it have been less fruitful
if I had not said
that I was not certain.
To give you stronger opportunity to speak
assurance.
It is a young game
that keeps us young and close --
the question is.
And the answer comes from the sky-color
of your eyes –
in a soothing torrent of yes.
To chant day and night
It’s not a mantra.
Kept in the heart throughout life
A great commitment...
To revenge or to hurt
It’s not a battle of love.
To offer with devotion
A noble Holy Mass...
To fall victim to sensual pleasure
It’s not a human sacrifice.
For a never-ending affection
A great gift...
To give up this life
It’s not a narrow feeling.
In a Samsara affection
A fulfillment of perfection
Getting late,
friends calling,
car starts,
“Guys, please wait.”
Let people know I'm coming
before I enter,
let my perfume introduce me,
the rich man with expensive fur.
In the dark, the golden cap I see,
three sprays on my body,
frozen world surrounding me.
The echoes in my mind—
“Oh, I love this scent.”
The harmony of voices fills my ears,
the blurred era vividly appears.
The specific bottle held memories.
I stopped using it.
I felt someone's with me.
My brain'd spin, nothing else I could see.
The moments lit like flames,
deceiving my head,
the movie of the past
plays on the screen of the heart.
Oh, the way I always wore that—
every meet, every event,
the same compliment I'd get.
“It’s for someone special,”
I'd flirt back.
The days when I had to see you,
when I'd hope our distance's be on a diet,
I would spray that special liquid,
the magical moments it signifies.
Lights on!
My friend's red.
He grabs my hand.
The revision of the past just had to end.
Before the dawn has painted sky or land,
My heart awakens, calling out your name,
And every quiet movement of your hand
Is light that puts my darkest fears to shame.
You are the gentle breath inside my chest,
The sacred altar where my troubles fall,
The only shore where wandering thoughts can rest,
My quiet sanctuary through it all.
I trace the tender lines upon your brow,
And thank the heavens that our paths have crossed;
To hold you in the stillness of the now
Is finding life where everything was lost.
No worldly treasure, fortune, title, power,
Could ever match the devotion that I feel;
With every passing day and fleeting hour,
My love grows only deeper, pure and real.
If I am granted all my remaining days,
I vow to give my life to honor yours,
To hold your heart in reverence and praise
As long as breath remains and spirit endures.
