College

We are now separate
I thought it was the right decision
but now i realize the mistake i made.
I see you happy everyday
while i sit in a silent pain.

These three months are gonna be hell with out you
but there isn't anything i can do
but sit and wait,
pray,
and dream of your face 
until the day you get back
and our love will be complete again.

Wind and Fire

Fire starts only as an ember
A harmless little ember
It is created by a light breeze.
The more the ember sees the breeze
The hotter the ember becomes
Eventually this harmless little ember
Will grow into a Fire
The Fire can keep you warm
But it can also burn you
The Fire is kept alive
By the gentle gusts of the Wind.
Soon these gentle gusts turn into veracious Winds.
The Wind stirs the Fire up
Until it becomes a raging Inferno
The Inferno burns for all to see
With no boundaries.
If the Wind ever dies
So will the fire
Left behind is but an ember
Waiting to be rekindled
By another gentle breeze
And one day it can grow
Again.

You

I am unable to think,
breathe,
eat,
or even sleep
without you being on my mind.

 The more i think of you,
the more i need you,
the more i wish to feel your gentle breathes upon my chest as we lie in bed,
the more i wish feel your our fingers interlocked.
But these are just wishes
as I can not have you.
I can not see your beautiful face,
I can not hear your soft voice,
I can not feel your gentle touch,
All i can do is wish
and sit here suffering

Red Moon

The purest of love
shows its rosy red face
to all of those who will embrace.

But, only when the moon is up-high,
illuminating the never ending sky.

The moon glowing
a fierce fiery red
it is flowing
filled with compassion and love
Ready to exterminate,
the darkness of hatred
and replace it with a bonfire of love.

This love has always been
kept burning on nothing but a single ember
Instead of the staggering bonfire
It should be

Why Dad

Hey dad this is for you
Oh dad….
Why did you leave me?
I am alone with no guidance 
Every time I have a birthday and never get a card 
I remember the pain you caused
Throughout my last 19 years
It aint easy to grow up without you 
But I made it and I am stronger than ever
But I made it and am stronger than ever before
Daddy why did you say good bye
And stop talking to me 
All I want is to get a card from you or something
I sit here every day and am stuck with the sad truth that you wouldn’t send it 
I don’t know what to do 
I am lost without you 
But you never send for me 
I sat there for 19 years praying hoping to see you 
And then the day came 
I saw you for a few years and you disappeared again 
Leaving me without a man in my life
I had no male guidance to speak of 
But I had my three headed mother that will ever live on 
I hope to see you still 
No matter the pain caused you are still my dad and I love you 
Just remember you have a son who cares and is old enough to understand 
All I want is to talk 
To speak 
To write 
Something for me to know you care and haven’t forgotten about me
Just haven’t forgotten me or else 
I would truly be lost for good 
No one will help me 
I will be lost forever and never to be found
No matter what they do
 The only cure would be you saying I love you
I need dad more than ever and don’t know to do without you

Blue Crystals

Every time I look 
Into those Deep Blue Eyes
I feel my soul slowly draining
From the flesh of my body.

When you are near me
I cannot control myself.
Just the sight of you drives me crazy
I am sorry
In order to stay sane,	
I must leave.

The heart that beats within my body
Tells me to stay;
Lose all control;
Become weak;
Give in to these feelings;
Give her all you have;
Don’t worry about the pain that may come,
But embrace the joy that may be delivered.

My mind soon comes to battle these feelings,
Telling me;
What if she doesn’t like you?
What if she denies you the pleasure of seeing her?
It will only cause pain,
It will only cause more suffering.

The more time I spend with those Deep Blue Eyes
The more these thoughts dwindle
Being drowned out by my heart
And the feelings you cause;
Soon my mind is gone
And will never battle my heart again.
I give everything to you
Do with it what you will.
I am willing to go through all of hell to just get a glimpse of those Deep Blue Eyes once
more.

All you have to do is accept me,
You will never have to return anything;
Except to let me see you;
And to look in your 
Deep Blue Eyes.

When You Left

The day you left was the day life defeated me
The pain has finally taken a hold of my body and has paralyzed me.
I now just sit here,
waiting,
hoping,
wishing,
and suffering.

Battle of Man

The eternal battle of mind and soul,
has waged since the dawn of man
it will be a battle that is fought for ever and ever until the mind can stop trying to
fool the heart.
If the mind and heart ever decide to work together that is where you are able to achieve
greatness.

Please Leave

This pain and compassion
fills and controls my heart.
Never to let me be free
until you just
Please
LEAVE!
 
The sight of your face
haunts me
but it also brings joy to me.
I try so hard
but i cannot forget you.
 
So i ask you
Please
LEAVE!
So i once again can be free
