Falling Back

From beginning to end there was love

this we know.

At a nights fall a dove flew,

she had to grow.

All that was built was falling and a return was long gone.

Time was of essence and no more words were needed,

Strange auras were afloat and all was lost.

Pain now fills one and regret fills another,

Soon truth will prevail and all will be at rest.

Untill it sheds some light one must forget,

One must forgive and see that no matter what 

There was love beginning to end.

Constant Change

Words have been exchanged
Honesty clasped our hearts
And a lingering need for 
answers was managed
A look so deep caused a 
searching soul and
A new lesson was learned
Peace plagued us as our 
deepest desires flowed from 
our gaping mouths
Shedding tears we knew that 
life,
Life is...A constant change

Swarming Darkness

Deep in slumber he stole her conscious,
Nightmares commanded tears.
She awakes plummeting into wickedness,
Why must her awareness be so deceitful?
A systematic cue floods her senses.
She drops recklessly into weakness.
Yearning for agony to perish,
She will sob with aspirations to reclaim her soul.
She craves the skill to identify what elicits her visions 
Is love really a mind over matter situation?

Do You Know

life...happiness...success
live for today,
find happiness,
succeed in your future.

love...pain...strength
love yesterday,
hurt today,
strengthen tomorrow.

death...regret...free
die with a broken heart ,
regret what you didn't do,
at the end free your spirit .

life, love, and death. 
lessons learned. 
in its purest form,
do you know what it is to "live to die?"

Everlasting Rememberence

They smile
So bright it eases every misery I ever knew
Innocent
They laugh
So hard it’s the sweetest sound I ever heard
Amazing
They speak
So pure it’s hard not to see truth
Imaginative
They run
So full of spirit it energizes my soul
Enlightened
They hug
So tight I could never know such a comfort
Blissful
They love
So pure I glorify who they are becoming
These beautiful children, my babies
You keep surrounding souls in tune with the innocence of life one must preserve to live full
Your so tiny with such mighty power
I love you!

Torn-Again

A love so profound took a failing fall with every word he spoke
Lies so deep 
Words with no promise
All I can see is lips
I hear nothing but my heart pounding with so much emotion 
Beating so hard 
Not a moment to realize that this pain has destroyed me
He speaks again and I can’t hear him 
My conscious yells and I shut my eyes
Tears began to run and my heart became hard
The change I long for he cannot find
He won’t even try 
Pain is unbearable, so physical 
Astonishing
Where mind is strong, voice will follow
To the end selfishness is the only way out
He walks 
I cry 
For I am broken but free
Choice will give chance
War is over
And love shall stand again

Midnight Fear

Darkness is creeping in and 
there's no way to escape
A war with no victory can 
destroy a soul
Visions so black and no light to 
be found
Fear is walking amongst the 
deepest forms of evil 
U know that giving in will cause 
turmoil 
And a war with no victory will 
ruin ur soul
But wait...
Keep fighting,just push, force 
ur mind to break it's weakness
Strength will appear at the end 
For strength is all we have
If ur not six feet under ull live 
to fight another day
