Put My Words To Music.

I'm your watercolors un committing to design
Like a puddle without reflection and the streets without their signs
The ideas that you've been scratching to remove the smell of rain
But instead your digging in my skin exposing me to pain
Your the record I keep playing to rewind back to your lies
Helping keep a heart safe distance, and detect nearing goodbyes
Papercuts like broken hearts paint bruises on my smile
Just like sweaty promises, you knew weren't all worthwhile
I'll stretch my daytime weakness and save drama in a box
Pinch the stupid things I say and hope it's one that locks
Your eyes are un accusing but you're made of bitter shades
You're the building blocks of carelessness & sharp like razor blades
All the girls are tickled pink when you tape them on your wall
So naive to feel this way we are blind to when we fall
Suck up all my energy and tell me how it tastes
To be the one to make our shapes and lay our hopes to waste
You're hushing my lips and fingertips but nighttime lets me pass 
Excuses so perpetual i sit smudging words on glass
I'm far below the surface of things you really see
Held by hands of bitterness with pieces i can't be
I'm tangled up in kisses and snagged on words you say
Sacrificing everything when nothing is okay

Autumn Eyes

Summer twilight lent to wither
Our pastel sky now streaked with bitter
Submerging a quiet sadness, a heavenly pain
Never removing this wakeless restrain
Colassal skies trickle red
Unveil 'September endings' until the day we wed
We carve our names and cement our love
Praise our granted patience sent from above

...But roses bleed in essence
...& the stars glow less, failing in vengence
...Shadows reign my thoughts, purely sad and discontent
...Time dresses in distractions and we yearn for where it went

(Going Back)-

Together under a formation of stars
In the light from above and any passing cars
A dozen wishes for a range of things
Carried so far by generous wings
Alone with you two blushing hearts
Time craves the traffic slicing air like darts
Our hourglass so secretlyhollow,
A soldier's farewell is desperation hard to swollow

...Rain drips less gently from those heavy clouds
...Autumn winds scream and tears decease below shrouds
...A silver glint sparks promises hovering
...Deminished is the point of living:
To BE CONTINUED...

A Haloed Promise Around Your Wrist

Slip a promise, grasp my hand,
Seal our hearts with this blue band,
As I'll be yours and you forever mine,
Two hearts a lifetime match becomes the greater sign,
Wrapped up in you and time moves fast,
Trace the days in white, to know love will outlast,
Throughout the night within loose dreams,
Sinking deeper we're linked through seams...

Abstract Comfort

stars pour like lustrous rain as they separate
excreting lights tender in my eyes
if only it was that beautiful...
interruptions divide us in prismatic gloom
brittle hearts prick like needles to our veins
our kiss spreads a swell of heartache
passionate love is our survival
the moments change and we splinter into two
peaceless feelings breathe on the back of my neck
sadness compels a new voice of stone
tears cleanse the thoughts we smudge
in hopes to paralyze the days apart
scented airwaves salt our disintegrated stitches
my days cannot heal without you
I tattoo your smile on my mind
to raise the sky from the ground’s ambitions
flaking metaphors spill like dust
tacky love songs breed visions on obscure wings
elevated beyond the reach of time
I’ll get you back in a rainbow’s frequency
and sew the color to your eyes
kissing the flavor trickling from our hearts

Old Moments In Warmth

I bottle up my sacrifice,
As pain for now becomes my vice,
Pensive songs scream depth in vein,
My weakness now a wholesome strain,
Enduring sheets of iced betrayal,
Our world becomes a grave lain stale,
If worlds collide repair my past,
Let autumn rise and time outlast,
Count eighteen months back to grey hearts,
Unlick the stamps, unwrite these charts,
Of days until you come back home,
Moments when we felt alone,
Nights in tears and distance aching,
Dreams of you and always waking,
To find that you are really gone,
Just want to say "I miss you Shawn",
& though life's spinning something's wrong,
No longer breathing our sweet song,
Weekends always feel so bland, 
Crowded now by tough command,
Our springs run dry and clouds fall blue,
The taste of love now sits to brew,
But when you are returned to me,
Lifetime is my one decree,
One blessing I asked Him to grant,
Forever and always I'll continue to chant,
Kisses sweep my cheeks in shadow,
Seranading wishes will rightfully hallow...

Wish Upon the Rain

Scented mornings become a spill of bedlam
While her soul sweeps away stagnant rainbows
Sunset skies shower tears of filth
Ever-changing from warm to gray
Laying oceans built from tears beneath memories
As she had it planned the night before...

Sadness bids at her doorstep 
Reminding her of the task
Silently waking she kisses each petal
Two notes have already been penned
Lips glazed with fresh color
Eyes penciled black
Her cheeks glow pink in the darkness
Stars hang by strings from the ceiling
A portrait of jealousy..
She pulls on a white dress made of satin
Candles warping the moment
A quality picture of contrast
Scarlet meets a porcelain figure
Breathing is a lost option

The chalky notes are the last of this girl
Her wings just weren't enough
The petals are left to her lover
She used her heart as a crayon
Pulling tears with each string
In the end nobody could help her
She lay broken as a statue
Abandoning everything

The second note she read out loud
Their sobbing could be heard
From every neighbor's doorstep
A world that never noticed
Was stamped with every word

Unclear Image

No matter what the stars just won't shine,
My life is theirs & no longer mine,
Irritated & hurt as far as pain can go,
In my perfect world the moon won't even
glow,
Tears drain from my eyes only at night,
I follow this road in the dark to see if
there really is a light,
The life in my soul is bound by fire,
It's hard to get the will to climb higher,
Crossing paths rain has well washed away,
Threads that piece my heart together are
beginning to fray,
My fake personality presents itself to any crowds,
Watching it from my lonely position above the clouds
The new day appears the same as the last,
Clear as mud with the dull image of the past...

A Selfish Plot

Popping pills to keep me happy?
I want to drink until I'm stupid.
Waste my life away
The destination you predicted
Blood will flood my eyes
You spit ice and freeze my tears
A perfect fit for punishment
It is hard to inhale
The breath you have tightened
So I licked the happiness from the wound

Breath in
A dark soul
A selfish plot
New scabs and a few old scars
Keeps me feeling sane
In this heavy moment
A blaze of demons sent
Spreading venom that surrounds my heart
Numbing visions of what was
Altercations smoldering
A shadow's glance is a downcast feeling 
Fighting to end this rage
Harmony hinting softly
These jaded wings it must renounce
When angel's toss their haloes 
My heart can beat no longer

I bleed alone

Last Drop of Red

Follow light to every wrong turn
Let it slip and watch it burn
You've bid the blood and spilled the pain
Now break the trust and cut the vein
Be nothing more and nothing less
Kill the cold and cross the stress
Feed the lies
Lose the fire in those eyes
Running crimson
Now you know what you've done
Let everyone down
Lay dieing, soak the gown
I last remember my tower of mistakes
Drained of red tears and chased away by all the fakes

The Deeper Side

Live on now and dont confide
The swell of pain for now to hide
If pain resides it's past repair
This rain of tension fills the air
Within a life I am the case
Light fullfills the time of grace
Render torture, a new fuel
Fresh wounds drip ashes scarlet and cruel
Dull light upholds this doom
Now and forever this feeling will loom...
