Lost Dream

The Addicts Dream
Today is the last time 
Today is the last time
365 days
Is the lost time
Until the last time
When
The dream is lost forever

Morning Glory Sky

Is there a place I can sit and listen to the years
Of the things we done together 
I feel the fear
That binds my heart
Because you’re gone forever
Could I find you
Just for a time
Let you know how I appreciate your life
this distance tears my mind
nothings promised but im
still emotional 

when I sit still
I look up at the sky 
And imagine now you can fly
And the glory of your new state makes me cry
To know you escaped 
Every pain 
Innate to life
So in your death
Something else is birthed on this earth
We cannot see 
but while I drift here
you’ll sit  
beside me
and bid me to watch the sun rise 
through your eyes 
its everything  
I’ve never realized 
Your alive
Just somewhere new 
And when I seize that dark
Take that infinite walk
You will be there too
On the other side of time
Where life’s untold story 
Shines 
And 
Shines

Butterflys

For every tear I swallow
Push down 
And never allow to run away
The fear that stands before me
Crumbles and I see a little more out the tunnel
I pave the road before me
But before I can walk freely
To that place that feeds my soul
I must be fearless and whole 
To attain the happiness my heart desires 
Is not easy 
The fears sit before me
Its just an illusion 
My gifts are not in the physical
But I must march through the invisible
Seal up the past 
Stay with the now
And wave at the future hoping it will know 
I won’t give up
I will pursue the butterflies 
Who show up to paint the sky around me 
Pretty 
While I walk alone
No pity
Just a tear that drops 
Falls on my lips 
Then stops 
to let me taste the bitter
Before I claim the sweet
I will not accept defeat
The butterflies on the other side
Need me. 
And if what they say is true
You will judge me 
And that will not stop me
I’m the queen 
Of my world 
I make the rules

The Transformation

~And with a kiss he introduced her spirit
		To a new world 
         The minute his lips chose her
                 She was undone
                 Reborn
                 In his bliss
                 She was transformed~

Tumultuous End

It’s the end and I’ve done all I can to survive this hurricane we call being in love
Why stay in the rain when the sky on the other side is bright with new beginnings
I fight the urge to regret the choice I made to be with you and put my trust
When all you want to do is put me down take me on a rollercoaster ride then leave me 
Spinning wondering what I did to deserve your hatred toward me
Im a good person and I demand respect so because im hard on you when you mess up you want to 
throw my mistakes in my face and make it seem like im not loyal to you 
what is this that we call love
its damaging us
its leading us to say things we don’t mean
but it’s the end and its too late to redeem ourselves
the damage is done
after all the nights feeling empty inside
feeling misunderstood
we never say what we feel we only scream how much we hate
but really we hate ourselves
because we know this could have worked
but we chose unforgiveness and to be alone with the hurt
instead of holding on to love 
it ends like its start 
tumultuous

Unlimited Sunrays

The length and lines that makes crevices 
On your skin
I find beauty in the infinite things
Created to fulfill our curiosity 
Are the empty spaces 
Where time escapes the confines of our great galaxy
There is a place I know exists 
Beyond what we will ever experience
All we embody, all we breathe is 
The now
Until we catch a glimpse of the sun
We feel undone by the safe escape it provides
And we want to live forever
In the warmth
When the cold returns for its long dance
I will turn to you
For guidance
Tell me all you know about our world 
It doesn’t matter
The lines that fill your eyes 
When you squint 
Will live with my spirit 
And make my days 
Like unlimited sun-rays

Relationship Killer

It is the horror 
That awaits
After the thrill

The one thing that stays
Stalks
And waits for the kill

Thick fire
Ablaze in the hills
We keep walking towards it
Not facing the truth

It stays
It haunts
Our every move
Lay with me;

This may be our last moment of truth
The blaze inside thee
Threatens us
Forevermore

Lovers Journey

Come with me on a journey she said
       I’ll never stop walking with you 
His feet bled
       She traced hearts with it 
On her love he fed 
        Until the moon turned blue 
The lives of the two
        Lovers bound by hurt
Found safety in an unsettled world
        Reveling in each other’s birth
This journey will never end he said
        I will be one with you 
Carving steps into infinity
	We’ll be each other’s serenity 
Two shining stars in a galaxy 
	Endless like the time

Dependancy

The dawn breaks through the dark 
And I sit patiently waiting for the love that’s coming my way

If none is due to me
I won’t survive the winds I will not survive today

The sun will swell my tongue
My belly will grumble for sustenance is missing

There’s not enough will
I need a strong hand to protect and guide my blind eyes

If just for a moment 
A loving heart will come my way

Not pass by me like I have no right to breathe  
Healthy and unhealthy oxygen to fill my lungs 

If for just a moment 
A heart would think better than a mind

I could survive and learn the ways of life and be
Dependent
On only me
