Soul Searcher

I’ve been soul searching my entire life,
Looking for some meaning and a clue that
I could piece together some kind of philosophy,
But all I’ve found is emptiness.
Everything has crumbled around me like a 
	sand castle and no one’s there to help repair it.

I’ve lived in shattered independence, but
	like a naked child I’m cold and alone.
I feel the judging stares surround me,
	analyzing my every action, never
Considering the pain I’ve suffered that
	haunts me.
I’m late to find the answer, so I’m
	stuck asking the question.

A Lonely Man's Prayer

Dear God, please help me to love?
Falling in love has always 
	been easy,
But I’ve been hurt so many times
	that I can’t trust (her/or myself).

Perhaps in time I’ll pick-up
	the shattered pieces and mend them
With your help, Lord.  I trust it will come.

Difficult is the path of the broken hearted,
And in life, I’ve only found true happiness
	in you, Lord.
I pray that my feelings for the one
	I love doesn’t lead to more heartache.
But God, I know that I’ll always have
	a friend in you.

Come what will, keep me in your grace.

Eyes Closed

I long for a pure, soft goddess to
	rescue me from my misery,
But I only find loneliness’ comfort.
Shadowy images of Joy haunt my dreams
	But I can’t seem to grasp them somehow.
Surely there must be some redemption but
	I remain tortured by what I can’t have.

When I die and it’s true that I’ll suffer
	eternal torment for all the wrong I’ve done,
Then why must I suffer here for helping those I love?

Time

I’m down to my last few grains of sand.
Nothing that I’ve ever tried seemed to go as
	planned.
This futile attempt at reason has befallen
	me to rhyme.
A dark and troubled childhood has given
	Me nothing to cling to but time.

Only time will tell, what kind of legacy
	that I’ve left.
How many souls I’ve touched and my
	memory they’ve cleft.
A lifetime spent in Hell perhaps to eternally
	Sleep and dream of heaven.

Recession

Life they say is but a journey traveled
by the many, but shapes only the few.
Throughout this winding path there are
many heartaches, as well as, times of immense joy.
A wise man is known by his scars
and praised for his glories.
Yet as for me the scars still bleed.

It's often said that true love only comes
once in a man's life.
And though I've felt it a myriad of times.
I truly can say that I've never captured the ring.
Perhaps I'll never capture such warmth within my lifetime
And if so, that is the true meaning of tragedy.

Hours

Granules fall within the glass as hope slips away.
Fear sets in as I'm left here alone
with all my troubles and sorrows.
I scream into the silence
and I'm blinded by the moonbeams.
The hours fade into the abyss of nothingness,
changing the scene instantly, into slow-motion,
but the only thing that remains the same is frustration,
for only the shape of the gaze morphs.

A flashback to a surrealistic labyrinth of security,
and I'm left hollow from the burn.
Ecstatic electricity penetrates and permeates
through me like love's sweet splendor.
Like a child full of innocence,
I hunger for love to make me complete.
Yet broken and neglected, I go hungry, except for despair.

Asphyxiate

For so long now, I’ve been fixated
	on a dream.
A dream that I could find happiness
	mirrored in someone else’s eyes,
But that dream has done nothing but haunt
	my soul.
Fixated like a junkie craving for his 
subconscious reality.

It steals from me what I’ll give freely,
	not knowing that truth’s glass stares at me at all times.
Slowly it takes away pieces of my shattered
	soul.
If only I could let go life would be
	much simpler, but would it be worth living?

Concrete Boots

Alone I carry this burden of torment,
	but I share the weight of sorrow
With those who’ll try to understand me.
In vain, I use incoherent phrases and 
shattered thoughts to convey my painful flashes.

Looking for salvation, I only find condemnation
	from those that I believe in.
I struggle to surface but deeper I descend
	into the undertow.
I scream out a name of security but no one
	answers.
So I call upon my own, but silence deafens.

Vapor

“Life is but a vapor.
		It comes and soon
		Passes away.”
So we should cherish every
Moment that we share together.
		“It’s not the quantity of Time
		That we spend together,
		But the quality of Time.”
But tell that to a grieving heart.

I pray that I can give hope
And comfort to those that need it?
And return the Love given to me
	in equal portions?

Again

Here I am, Again,
Same place I’ve always been.
Nothing has changed, Again,
Same face I’ve always seen. (in the mirror)

I put myself out there, Again,
Only to have my heart broken.
How could I be so mistaken, Again?
(Questioning the words that were spoken)

Here I am, Again,
Same me as always
Left with nothing but Hope, Again,
Praying that (always) will change.

I am still me, Again.
Believing that things will change,
And I’ll feel the same, Again.
	Here I am, Again.
