A Wish Come True

inspiration has been enlightening to my forever beating heart

   love has been proved to me through someones eyes

   conversations over beer and heartaches

   has stopped my fallen spirit

   bitter taste on my breath

   early sunlight has shown me truth

    thoughts fall short

   second glances give hope

   blessings of a higher power balloons my heart

   the road is so bright

  I am not alone

  I am lucky

  I am a free spirit

  caught up in a fantastic emotion

  like falling rain

  when the sun shines bright

   and the sky remains blue

  smiles never fade

My Deeper Thoughts

have you ever tasted the dark, been without the light
     
     does your lips moisten when you wish for me

     the tightness grows in the pit of arousal
   
     killing of this pain is what i pray for in the sunlight

     my broken wings want to flutter
   
    wisping pin pricks across my aching body

    memories flow through my third eye

    and a shake storms my body awake

    I' am  no longer blind

    my visions steal my heart away

    I am not suffocating
 
    I am breathing into you

    this is imaginary

   all i feel is in my memory

   killing me inside

   struggeling to touch reality

   out of the ashes I see a face

   I can barely taste his tongue

    licking the inside of my mouth

   the sky breaks up through the storm

   and my hate spreads between his legs

   thunder strikes and lightning sears my heart

   rain pounds through our crushing bodies

   rendering me careless as it drips

   forming the puddle of my passion

  the ashes float away and the body stands before me

  reaching for my soul

  attaching his emptiness to my inner being

  breathing me awake he so carelessly serves my timid heart to his

  combining us as one

  tearing me away from myself

  til the brittle bones break

  breath the last one into my sullen body

  build my soul around your hope and spread the warmth

  cry the tear drop deep into the black

  and light me with swords of which you pull hate

  angry me with your words

  unleash your pleasure upon the seed of happiness

  bite and taste my flesh

  treasure my scent forever locked inside your memory

  i can taste your breath across my tongue

  and the dreams become real

  the bones are mended

  sewed together tight

  blood stops its trickle

  my heart bleeds no more

Wish Not

spoken words speak no more

  lies fall beneath me

  complexes of the mind break into cubes

  working the body endlessly
  
  close my restless being

  fully awake i am or once was

  fingertips grasp at a fading figure miles away

  over the hill the water rises

  eyes peer through me over the waterfalls ahead

  running faster and faster 

 and still I stay

  running in place

  his voice calls my name

  and it falls as a whisper

  as I turned my head to learn direction

  lost i scream

  the sky falls dark

  he is at a distance i cannot reach

  help

  he pulls me from his soul
