True Dream (4/21/2012)A one timeless place
The one place of peace Such a land to frolic through Where leaves never fall And the breeze kisses hope Holding us in it's arms Are the stars among tranquility Amongst crisp, vast fields Lies happiness in it's dreams So softly and soundly Resting in it's solitude With the dancing of the moonlight Painting my sight across this place I see her sitting under this tree Her smile brings warmth upon A one timeless place A one timeless place The land I couldn't be in For this place is with me Deep inside my heart I hold my cherished dreams Apart from my true dream A pain seeps from my eyes As pain weeps in this land My sight forth this dream lives on As the rise of a smile Never fails to hide Surrounding gloom and seas Flooding, drowning this land Yet strongly I stand in A one timeless place A one timeless place Alive in souls and dreams Forever hand in hand As we walk in peace and friendship As time aches in my eyes So to hold your dreams And share our hearts Is all I have ever needed For happiness to be freed My heart cries for your heart Among the broken wings That sorrowfully had fallen Into another life lives A one timeless place A one timeless place Where I wish to hold Her hand and kisses forever All along the path Had led me to my one True dream The one and only who understood Who had come all this way To follow my footsteps And intertwine my road in life With hers The creations of our hands The thoughts of our minds Eludes this world Into such a false meaning When all of creation is to be removed And only our souls and wings remain Only true love towards each other we bring Could bring the story of life meaning and The one true dream The only true dream Of love A one timeless place Is the place I have always needed This place is never to be Unless she is still with me Moments aren't existent When we are together For time does not exist As we are one forever So if it comes To where i'm on my knees Shedding final moments And the last of sight Only one last question Remains before I drop Is this the place where true dreams come to life? |
I was once (4/24/2012)A sliver of the past
The distant realm of life In this lost path of those days I was once a tree With singing birds And friendly greens Sewing together the light of day Shade shielding life of day Winds lightly caressing our ears Like kisses Gentle and tender With tears to the eye Affectionate to the very touch Of the sun's warming rays Our lives So without kisses, we aren't warm We would be light with no heat A storm rolled by Sweeping up my ground This hurricane, this monster Gusts howling like hell Destroying my leaves with branches Laying around me and washed away As this storm intensifies Those lost branches and leaves I'll never get them back A part of me is now lost Eroded by my storm of weeping Slowly calming, gradually halting Clouds have run afar Now the bright streak returns Filling the land with hope again Yet hope cannot regroup my branches Nor replace the lost leaves They were a part of me Until they were torn from me Like friends, like time Forever in sorrow Never again am I the same Another storm brews and looms Lingering and chuckling My misery grows blue Rain and winds spark once more Yet stronger this time Tornadoes have spawned Ripping more away from me I have firmly stood in place Despite my storm's disgrace No soul hears my cries As time inside me slowly dies Shaking and swaying More parts of me are torn More broken than I already was I am but a lonesome tree Lanky from the agony Yet I knew This tree cannot survive Nor endure much more pain As these leaves and branches fall And wash away with the waters More bare Lost with despair As the final storm mauls me It's too much to overcome My roots are ripped out I'm dead, flying in the air Too soon, too late This tree I once was No longer has his friends The leaves and branches were torn Ripped from the very heart Now this tree flies with the wind Apart from the ground The tree is no longer home Destroyed, now it cannot grow This tree is to live Never again Could I let myself go? (4/18/2012)If I just saw a glimpse of myself
Falling and crawling to my last drop of blood Spewing from my body From the hole made in me The wound was like no other Not knives and not a gun Could shoot me just like this did I watched myself fall I watched myself fall Back to the ground I am once again Lifeless eyes go black again As I watched myself let go My hand's grip on life Mere whispers on a purpose The story's pages were burned By pain and agony that had raged So let this murky fate settle my breath And compromise my light I watched myself fall I watched myself fall For eyes never see What I truly was ever to be I must let myself go I must break free of life Life is what I am in now Soon the streak of insanity will slip And pillage my breath from my heart Arrival at such darkness No choice to feel or be freed I watched myself fall I watched myself fall And puke on the choking teeth That agony had wrapped around my neck So bleed again Until I dispense The last drops of what could have been My life in my hands |
