Another Ordinary Day

Just another ordinary day, 
or so it seemed.
Until we see the limits
that fire and terror break.
Clouds, smoke, screaming
the sights and sounds of God.
Taking with him uncountable angels.
Leaving the rest of us, 
who haven't filled our lives duties
to sit and mourn. 
He has plans for us all,
and through the actions of others 
we shall learn what they are.

White Noise

The noise in my head 
Is confusing the silence
I seek in my heart

Lost Words

Wind howling
like deep uncontrollable breaths; 
Minds fill with the unconscious words
everyone is thinking but
no one is....
saying.

Puzzle Pieces

Light illuminating the smooth path of skin, 
touching and following every line,
wondering where the next will lead.
With you it is always something or somewhere new.
Loving what makes you, you
and us, us.
When we're together, 
fitting in every position like perfect 
puzzle pieces.

Empty

Lonely souls
searching, hoping
for something, anything
to set them free
wanting, needing
something, anything
but all they feel is...
emptiness, nothingness

Untitled

White walls, light room
but inside it's dark and filled with gloom.
She tries to open up, tries to tell someone 
but no one seems to listen and she doesn't want to jump the gun
cooped up in this hole, she wants to be taken from.
Someone come and save this soul 
Someone come and save this one.

Lost in all confusion and wouldn't you be
stuck in this god-forsaken place where each day feels like eternity.
Wanting to escape, needing to get out
letting go of anger so she screams and shouts.

Can't you see she's lonely?
Can't you see her tears?
Her head is in her arms
hiding from her fears. 

The same song still plays in her memory 
"don't worry baby, it's how its got to be"
Images of that room, make her head spin
cold hands, touching feeling every inch of skin

Why didn't someone stop him?
Release me from this pain,
my whole life was just flushed down the drain.
Someone come and save this soul.
Someone come and save this one.

Can't you see she's crying?
Wondering why me, 
isn't there someplace else in life that I should be?
Can't you see she's crying?
Can't you see her tears?
Her head is in her arms, 
hiding from her fears.

My Home

My Home 

The vast open space calls to my heart, 
longing for its return.

Rustling winds dance along the sea torn rocks
singing a song of memories gone by.

Lulled by the lapping waves, 

Rising
                and 
                            falling.

With each heave and roll come moments of – 

Joy,

Happiness,

Peacefulness.

It is easy to see past the beauty when it stares you in the face every day, 
but when you leave, you long for those moments.

Ones that… 
clear your mind,
fill your heart
and complete your soul.	

Distance may 		                                  separate me

but my heartstrings will always connect me to 


Home.

The Inner Workings of My Mind

Intrusive thoughts take over my mind

Leave me alone

Words swirling in an out of my consciousness

Leave me alone

Memories pop up, zoom by, scorching themselves on my inner being

Leave me alone

Pushing them down

down

down

Leave me alone

Slowly, space begins to open

Allowing room for the blessings, love, positive light

Don’t 

Leave Me 

Alone
