Time Lost

Wall to wall shadows, but no one hears my screams. The world fades to black, a 
mist fills the air. My pain slowly retreats into the depths of who I used to be.
Surrounded by the past, trying to move through the fog, my priorities lay in a haze 
around me.
                 What is there left for me now?

He who evades my space
He who loved me unconditionally
He who showed me pure ecstacy.

I who pushed and pushed
I who loves unconditionally
I who showed him how wrong I could be.

Yet the clock slowly tics on, and my beating heart has died; Then revived by my will 
to go on, to stop the tears. To love no matter how much has changed or how much I 
hurt, or still hurt for the time that is lost!

Brighter Day

Tears of the sun, ray's of falling rain, catch a rainbow then watch it slowly fade. Grab 
ahold of today, watch tomorrow disappear; hold onto happiness, let go of the fear. 
Try something new, leave a fading life, count your blessings, throw away your strife. 
Collect a heart, save a soul, wash your blues away. Thank someone you've never 
known, and make this a brighter day!

Until There Was You

Wade through the water, and kiss my tears. Hold me not in your arms, but in your 
heart. I fear that time has left me behind somewhere in fate. I long only to know 
him, and drown in his darking soul.

I once walked alone in the face of shame. My sin followed me like a black cloud on a 
rainy day. I cried out mercifully, begging for true forgivness. Who would hear my cry, 
who should know my pain? I wish I could say love lifted me high, but love only spit 
on me, and left me here to die. Swimming in a sea of emotion, giving my all showing 
great devotion.

The words still hanging in the sky, as he kissed my lips and told me good-bye. All I 
had left now was my rage, my gaurd was back up; my heart locked in a cage. I felt 
as if there would never again be light, till someone else touched me and granted  
back the sight.

Blinded by lust, and guilted through pain. I vowed last year I wouldn't love like that 
again. Do these words, though, we ever speak come true? I thought I would stick to 
my vow forever, until there was you.

Restored

I was so angry inside, and God said, "give your worries unto me."

A revalation, deviation, a strong hold on my will.
A clouded judgment, a bright idea, something had a hold of me.
I sifted through countless writing's, searched through every loophole.
Till I came upon one.

My testimony of faith, my willingness to forgive.
Bless my children of the father who art in heaven.
Bless all that has done me wrong, and the wrongs I have done to those and myself.
Take this ball of haze and strip me of this fear and guilt.

I came 
 I saw
  I was
                     And still am

Your child.

A child of emotion, utter devotion
I slipped off the grid
Then I fell right back into your arms
The warning's came
and I heeded them not
You turned your back 
and I understood.

When I was lost you brought me back
You scolded me for doing wrong
and you came back when I needed you most.

Thank you Father
For I once was blind,
but you have made me see.
That no grand illusion is greater then you
and no need can be filled here that you cannot handle yourself.
I lost my faith and you restored me unto my soul.

For this
  I am 
   forever
    greatful.

Thank you.

The Keeper

Who is the keeper of the stars
Where does the gate belong
Who is that which gaurds?
 

                   And tell me..... Who holds the key,

To the fortress of placid

                  From the games inside your mind?


                      Tell me your deepest desire
Feed me all the secrets inside,
                             Become what you are destine to be!




                                             Claim another heart
                                             Collect another soul

Hang up your hat for the day is over now..


                                                                         The sun will rise
                            As the moon will sleep,
                                                                So tell me this my sweet dear....

Who will take your soul to keep??

The Slow Burn

A subliminal mind plague, a motion suspended in time. A perpetual bliss caught by a 
whim. No words of I love you, no trading time for comfort. No laughs of good will, 
nor blessings. A casual encounter, a brief touch, a lasting kiss, and a squeal of 
emotions bending what used to be. Lost in translation illusions of what will never be 
again. meaning so much to me, but it phases you not.

Corroded beauty that used to be us, elated by a nice thought, a nice jesture that 
once held me so close. Slowly confusion pushes me away, suffocates me so I cannot 
breath. There you sit so care free, no consequence, no cause, and certainly no 
effect. I wish I could turn the hands of time, test the fates, and go back to where 
things were simple and it all didn't hurt so bad!

I contemplate so many thoughts, so many dreams I dare to dream. So much that 
darkens my path, and blackens my heart. Next to you it all used to be ok, now there 
is so much tension, and so much strain.

So much pain still lingers inside, I feel the black hole when I touch your chest, the 
ringing inside your head. I feel the stabs of a thousand daggers beckoning in your 
heart, the tension mounting in your neck. The over all pain behind your eye's.

                                                       Your aura is weak
                                                       A dim light lines your being
                                                       A slow burn is on your back.


                                            You fear nothing, or so it surely seems.

Falls On Me

My soul is cold,
  Oh, so cold            it makes you numb.

This feeling never goes,
and no one really know's
      How much hate is in this world.

Your eye's shine
a crystal glazed mist,
and in your mind
       you put all the blame on me.

I accept your pain
    and raise you defeat,
Oh, how the catacomb rhythym
in which your heart sings to me.

Still it cannot erase
           yesterday,
and you long for peace~
A peace you will never find.

In my heart
is where it all lay,
and until you open up
Your pathetic excuse for truth and honesty,

                                      Will always consume the one's you love!

Let Him Go

Oh, how the storm inside rages on, fleeting thoughts of love plague me to the 
fullest. Oh, how his hands used to enrapture me, and the scent of his skin would 
cling to my body for what seemed to be days on end.

All of that is lost now, somewhere floating in the space that is time past. Tears fill 
my eye's, pain in my heart, for sweetness is mine no more.

All this tragedy should give me strength, all the harsh words should move my feet to 
a better place. Yet, I am stuck right here, writing words, feeling empty and hollow 
inside. A year has gone, and still he scoffs at me.

He disregards all that is my being, and is angered by my triffled words. I speak only 
to still keep him close to my heart, but maybe he is right after all. Time is moving on, 
and so is he. In the arms of someone else, for him to call her his own.

Breaking down, not ready for this change. Still it seems I must find the way.

Somewhere in the emptyness of my beating heart, I hear the words..

                                        LET HIM GO
                                              Just let him go!

Loves Embrace

Twisted faith
Hault the lies
A single tear
Escapes my eye.

Lost to lust
Love on the edge
Spreading my wings
Footing loose on the ledge.

Control fleeting
Feelings gone
Crossing boundaries
Playing a sad song.

Unknowing my destiny
Thankful for you
To thine own heart 
I must be true.

Kisses so sweet
Warmth from your breath
If this is living
I want not to know death.

Hold me close
Leave me never
Lose your mind
Need me forever.

Pain in my heart
No more shall I hide
Two souls, one journey
Passion will collide.

A rainbow of strength
Courage strong
What feels so right
Once was wrong.

Here I am now
I will not fade
This promise I keep 
To you I have made.

If Only

The wave's wash in and then wash out again. A spinning tidal pool you cannot 
concede. I cannot count on any amount of fingers of just how many times I have 
cried over you.

I remember that day well
Sitting in the sand
Playing and sometimes tasting it too
I was too close to the water
I was always too close to the edge.

I was bold and brave
Fear was never a part of my vocabulary
Or maybe it was just that I was to young to care.

In an instance I was sucked in
And frantically on the outside my mom was freaking
Up and down, up and down
My mother standing yelling, helplessly.

She never learned to swim
Was ghastly affraid of the rising water
She called quickly to my sister
A masterful swimmer at 12
And she dove in to save me.

The devilish grin on my face made my mother's anger soar
There was not even a tear in my eye
She clung to me through the fear,
The fear of losing me to the tide.

I could still here the ocean screaming in my ears
Taste the salt on my tongue
Feel the sand lodged deep inside my bathing suit 
And my nostrils were filled with the same salty aftermath,
I was all to eager just to get close once again.

Sometimes's today I look out into to space
And see my head under that tide, in this I call life
But now I struggle to keep my head above water
For fears of drowning in my own being.

Funny how one can be so brave and not fear all that is in the world
And as time passes they learn to fear the most simplest of things.

   If only for oneday I could have back what I had then. 


                                                                         Hmmmm!
