The Dark Corners of My Mind

In the dark corners of my mind I escape.
I have them take me away into a land
far away.
Here there are crushing white waterfalls,
deep blue waters
and rock pillars of jagged gray.
I don't hold on to or carry anything with me.
I am forever gone at this time in this day.
The sun is falling and the moon is calling.
It beckons me to stay.
It's lumious glow shines all about me.
I can feel it in the air.
I can see it's flow.
It's like a silver eupohric light,
bathing me in sight.
I stand without fear or torments.
I am engulfed into the perfect scene.
I can still see the grass's color 
play along in the moonlight,
so green.

The Dark Trenches

If there was hell to pay,
I'm sure I would of payed the cost.
But it seems like some days 
no matter how much I try,
I'm still lost.
Fighting in circles,
staring at the same obscenities.
Fierce, grueling tags pinch
me with their eccentricities.
Dark shadows trying to sneak their way in.
I run away and focus away from this sin.
Corse tear drops fall as I feel like I lost it all.
Whose to beg if there is nothing to differ?
I must not give up hope and let this siffer.
Between the lines,
between the blades,
between the worlds,
I will search.
Fleeing from the darkness, 
leaving my perch.
Longing for a place I can call home.
I will whisper to God 
along these lonley streets I roam.
Through tunnels and pathways,
all winding and dark.
I will burn through these times,
that encase my heart.
Blanketed with refreshing water,
I make myself whole again.
From the bottom of the tireless depths,
to every moment I take breaths,
I will fight.
Caught in the fierce wind beyond delight.
Vision focused,
intentions on sight.
Things are going to start to change.
I had to encorporate the knowledge
to rearrange.
Things may seem broken,
but along the silent streams they flow.
It is all in what you give, 
how you live.
I'm going to ignite my soul,
pay the toll.
Bring myself home.

Forbidden Love

Blood drips from my eyes,
lost in illusions, 
drowned by fear. 
Why must I beg and plead to find you near? 
Where have you gone and where do I go?
It is a lonely, cold, rode,
this I know.
Blankets of snow come down fast. 
Maybe this time I bled for you will be the last. 
My mind runs empty,
my body grows weak. 
I am lost and broken and can't speak. 
Forged over grounds indigent, 
braced by shallowed tears.
I still searched for you,
amongst my darkest fears.

River of Dreams

The lucid river flows through the land.
It's embracing waters take me far.
I engulf into the place I want to be.

Burning Out of the Dark

Burning out of the dark, 
I will escape this vengeance that has took a hold of my heart. 
Days lost, days cold, 
kept up in Harlem with a life so bold. 
Stuck in the teardrop of redemption, 
I bleed for your exemption. 
The shadows all over me,
I want to run, 
I want to be set free. 
Tired of the nights and long, 
unwanted despair.
I wish I had a candle of truth to guide me. 
I wish I had you there. 
Stubburn visions, 
stuck in a wearisome place of no procure. 
When I'm with you I am sure.
Lost confidences raging up inside me.
Why have I been so numb?
I can't understand where I am coming from.
Begged for redemption, 
but the waves took me under. 
Twisted, under grave starlight and ill fed fire. 
Black days being stuck in a viscious haze.
I threw apart my pieces 
and came back to the start. 
Trying to find solid ground.
I wish I wasn't so broken, 
wish I wasn't choken. 
Building up obligitories like the raging seas.
I am searching for the right exit still. 
I must combust and lose all this rust 
and leave the world standing still. 
Words have come and gone and grown empty.
My bitter soul called out for you. 
Why do you tempt me?
Unjust waters filled my head.
I'm living in a life of lost dread.
Coming up from the banks of preservance, 
I will take my stake and live for the servants. 
Righteous clouds adjust my sail. 
I'm looking up into twilight,
thinking I will prevail.
No more undermining myself.
I will take a step into the day 
and all the darkness will fade away.

Entwined

Two souls in a violent wind.
Two unique fleshes bound in one.
He smiled at her in a way that drove her wild.
She touched him in a way that exhilerated him.
The wind took and ripped at them.
It blew all their life into disorder.
If one could hold the key,
maybe they could break free.
They searched and ran and fought.
They wouldn't stop
till they found which was sought.
The miles covered were empty and rough.
They had lots of regrets and not much to bluff.
They cried, they pried.
They fell back and stepped aside.
Then the answer came clear.
It was pushed way back in a corrider left of fear.
There the time seemed to encompass the great transformation.
Lover's ignited in a swift and steady motion.
It was like all the stars lighting up the brilliant ocean.
Fiercer than a tornado,
stronger than a hurricane.
There souls entwined beneath the true hearts vein.
