Enlightened

Enlighten me, that's something I truly enjoy. You fill my mind with new wonders. Energizing my thoughts. A stimulant to my soul. I see such beauty spoken in words. Vast ways of explanation. They tiptoe into my ears. It's paralyzing. I'm compelled, I'm listening. My full attention. it carries me away. Loosing track of time. I stare as I attempt to take in all the emotions. They are gifts to me, and I take them in with pleasure, at the edge of my seat. I beg please do not stop. I'm so high off this discussion. It's feeds me as if I'm a fire. It's building. I'm anxious. I feel I couldn't possibly hear and than what I wanted to hear. And then it stops. As I slowly slip back into my reality. I gasp, as if I hadn't been breathing. A little disoriented and tingling all over. My mind still racing, that fire still burning. I sit still in the silence. Trying ever as I might to relive those words. The more I try the faster my high fades. I exhale. I'm at peace. Enlighten me, that's something I truly enjoy

The World We Live In

When you speak with hatred it's as if you speak in tongue's. 
I don't understand  nor do I want to. 
Your mouth is cold and your heart is lost.
 Deception comes in any form. 
They speak with such conviction. 
That's why we believe their lies. so rare for you to bite your tongue.
 Do you think before you speak? 
Do you truly know, or do you even care. 
Judgment is part of our human nature, but it is acknowledgeable.
 So why not fight it. 
Why must you fall in with the crowd.
 Are you fond of ill words spoken of you? 
There has never been an explanation for evil only  an excuse. 
Do not defend your wrongs.
 Leave them behind and move forward with light. Be judged, do not judge.

Temple

People look at me and see a fortress.
 Someone without weakness. 
A carefree soul without boundaries.
 A welcoming warm heart. A shell full of life.
 I find an aura is what we seek and a tender touch is what we crave.
 Sickened by the way we bind ourselves to materialistic things.
 Can we not just seek friendship, love and understanding. 
The wrong say I am weak because I look good for in all.
 I've come from little in my life. I've been beaten down and scarred.
 My innocence was taken very young, but I will not let that alter the way I see 
things!
 I refuse to believe we were put here to dwell on the past.
 So much is given to be thankful for. 
Why live for the bad? 
I have strength but I am no fortress. 
My walls do come down. 
My heart has been cold but then I was saved.
 I knew I wasn't alone.
 I seek to share all this life I hold inside.
 When I look at people I see promise. I see love. 
Hearts bonding. Friendships being made. 
Now I ask you why not live for the moment. Live for each other.
 Let it go, its not as if you're going to get out alive.

This House

The days seem longer.
There is a stillness in this house.
Possibly from what was once here or from what never was.
This bed seems uncomfortably cold.
The memories hang onto these walls like pictures.
Every inch is a reminder. 
Indescribable the feelings are when I walk into our room.
I remember the good times, and tend to forget there were bad too.
Although you were in the wrong, I fought myself to believe it was different.
Is it because I yearn for it to be the way it was. Or that I couldn't grasp the 
thought of moving on.
My body had grown weak, mentally drained. 
So many useless tears have been  shed through these halls.
Hopeful, I thought that things could be different if you had just come home.
I beat myself up asking why?
Did I not love you enough?
But these walls hold a story and saw what I couldn't see.
You took what was beautiful and destroyed it, careless in your ways you 
destroyed me.
But just like this house those feelings will fade. 
They will become old and forgotten just like yourself.
They will fall.
Please don't think you broke me.
 I know now what I deserve
I will walk away from this mess you made.
Ill love stronger and fight harder, but next time it will be for someone who will 
do the same.
This relationship was over long before it ended.
This house doomed long before it was built.

He Suffers, Dont Be Blind

That man in the white shirt.
You know you see him just as I do.
His heavy eyes and dirty pale skin.
I wonder what his story is.
His hands rough and cracked.
I wonder how long he's been drifting.
His appearance rather deceiving.
I see you cringe at his stare. 
Does he make you feel uncomfortable?
Looking out from behind his eyes I wonder what he sees.
A life similar to the one he once had.
No one starts out that way.
Are you curious to if he's okay.
Where are his loved ones?
Does he know that he is loved.
Such thick skin he has.
A life on the road.
I wonder, does he even want to let anyone in.
A life of desolation truly a wonder to behold.
Could you imagine the stories this poor soul holds.
We all have our ups and downs.
Just because you have nothing does not mean you came from nothing.
And even if you come from nothing doesn't mean you mean nothing.
That man in the white shirt could be your brother, your father, your friend.
He's no different, only human like yourself.
That thick skin does not make him fearless nor without pain.
Please I ask you, put yourself in his shoes.
Would you want to be treated the same..

Dad

As you walked out the door, I had no idea id never see you again.
It was just the same as everyday.
You were a light in my light I thought id never see fade.
When you left me I felt I had seen my darkest day.
How could you just be gone.
Everything was a haze.
I've never felt a pain so strong.
A constant reminder, now the days seemed so long.
I was stuck reliving the past.
Thinking about what I should have said, what I never got to say.
You are my best friend, and although you may not be here in flesh
you are very much alive in my heart.
In the hearts and minds of everyone you crossed paths.
You were a force to be reckoned with. A beautiful man.
So incredibly full of life. you are my inspiration.
You are my path.
I'll tell everyone about you, who you were to me.
Ill never let you go and just know im here.
I'll see you again real soon.

I love you dad.

Written for my good friend Max.

The Darkness

Don't lie to me, those words fall from your lips like sin.
Your touch so dangerous it can penetrate my soul.
Why have I fallen for you, a puppet to use as you'd like.
oh how you paint such a lovely picture.
The perfect bait you used for luring me in.
Deceitful you are you wicked man.
My spirit was willing but you showed me my flesh was weak.
Genius you are, quite the master of disguise.
A false image of beauty and love.
Oh you are so good at what you do.
A man of many traits, but not one of them are pure.
How dare you speak of promises and truth.
Wretched is your tongue.
Praying on the weak, you putrid man.
You seek to destroy and watch lives fall.
One big humorous game and you're the one in control.
in the end that's all it is.
A game in which someone must loose.
Now I tell you I may not live to see the day but your reign will soon fall.
Your feast will be over.
Your followers all gone.
Reduced to ashes.
I fore warn you get out now or you to shall perish.
