A Poet's RomanceShe was the quiet sort,
tsunamis tucked
within her eyes,
anxieties pinned
to pottery skin;

she would mold herself
into moonlight butterflies
and glist'ning calla lilies,

pure and white and
beautiful.

and when night cast
itself upon her in
heated, hard'ning flames,

she’d smash herself
upon the rocks
and in morning start
again.

Quietly, GentlyShy smiles and fluttering butterflies,
My heart would beat faster when I looked into your eyes.
Even then, as I held you warmly in my arms,
Every word you said put me under your charm.
Dozing off, I sent you a little smile.
And told you that it’s fine to fall asleep for a while.

When you awoke, the sun was setting for its own time to sleep.
So I pulled you close and breathed in so deep.
Quietly, in the dark, I slowly fell in love.
Gently in my arms, I called you my little dove.

Music is throughSoft keys give way to your feather light fingers
Paper-thin cuts rock and ivory like half-molten butter
but you
(you and the barely-there tap of your nails, the eerie clicks that do not echo but nonetheless linger)
convince it to sound like
a voluntary death, a willing surrender,
instead of mere sweet murder

Perhaps you have put this same spell over me
You’d play; I’d listen,
Sitting enchanted and near enough to see how the light breaks on your hair the same way your fingers build and break,
Create and abandon
Cherish and spurn like overstrained lovers

Your favourite was the fresh twitter of staccato notes
Mine, t

The HiveSkin flakes away like paper mache,
Within the darkness that has swallowed the day.
Left there since September,
Hiding there in mid December.

Lying there in her hollowed chest, rests a home for the bees.
An incubator created from the deceased.
Flesh gives way, revealing the colony-
Each and every bee, they are happy.

The gentle creatures rest upon her skin.
Her body a shell, a frozen in time sin.
She never felt complete, a lady barren.
Her fists cl

let my mind wander
down winding paths
and through lonely fields.

trees are barren.
the frost nips at your heels
when you walk too slow.

every release from my
heavy lungs
looks like smoke.

i hesitate to speak,
afraid the words will waft away
never reaching the crook of your neck
where i want them to nest.

"i love you," is all i can muster -
never feeling it weighs enough.

i imagine a tongue
unwoven, unbound;
i pretend that my heart
is full of profound
words -
unheard by angel,
by beast.

my head is wrapped
in thick fog;

Race of Life We all have a start and we all have an end. It's what you do in between that matters. Will you run to fast and end up breaking down in the middle of the race? Will you take everything as a competition and not help a friend when he's down? Will you slow your pace to a walk and enjoy everything around you? Will you open your hand to those in need? Most importantly after all is done and you have crossed that line can you honestly say that you are proud of yourself?

AloneWhen I'm alone, I have the impression that the world is running out,
that runs in front of me, do not stop even for a moment
and I am staying away in the back, thinking of
meaning of life, the meaning of existance

When I am alone, the world loses colors
and takes the color of old lace that had long since lost its luster
And I see through this lace every minute of my life
every moment

When I'm alone, sometimes I think about you
You are somewhere on the border of perception, where the eyes can not see
I am almost sure that I miss, although we will talk again soon
It's more than scary ...

I am a strange man, without time, without the

The best in meSoft lines freshly written slandered all over the paper
Fresh words in the atrocious handwriting of its creator
Drops of ink besmirch this once so lovely wooden table
As sunlight falls on it on a warm day in April

Tapping of one’s fingers to the rhythm of these very lines
Pondering if this truly is what it defines
As the pen scratches over that sheet of paper
Until the rhyme is finally to the liking of its shaper

And when asked why he wrote that simple little piece
If he thought about writing it or if it was just a simple caprice
He smiles as he gives an answer to which everybody will agree
’’I do it simply because it brin

Museshe was an immaculate understanding of beauty
and made art blush a thousand times,
and the painter's brush
and the sculptor's spurl
could never quite possess her,
even in their minds.
she retired to Colmar and Vienna
never resting, never testing
the waters of time,
although they say she adored Florence
and left more men doting
than Tuscan mothers did bear,
and Cupid wept all of Styx
when his noxious darts
fluttered not lips or hearts.

she chanced upon Zhou in Zhaoge
and left his soul in want of want,
and all his queens could not delight
the wanton thirst of Jahangir.
and so pleasured yet, and yet untouched,
the virgin maid of Gaia's cr

Without you.what is a twister without the wind?
What is a high-tide without the moon?
What is a fish without its school?
The result would be me when im not with you

The fish is alone, easy picking for prey
The water can not progress, it is stuck at bay
The twister would fade, just lost in the air
And so that is me, when you aren't there.

BrotherI was so used to having my older brother around, and I went to him for everything.

Especially when I wanted something. Because, really, what are little sisters for?

As he walks in, I say in a melancholy voice, “Hey.”

He screams and puts his hand to his heart in a mock-startled way. He lets out an exaggerated breath. I ignore him and say, “There's no food anywhere!”, over-expressing my hunger.

He tells me to follow him into his room. He walks over to the plastic bag that I saw him walk in with.

“Will this work?” he asks, holding up a bag of lightly salted Lays potato chips.

“No,” I reply,

I Am YoursLeave it to him
The one who's all steam
The one without a dream.

He'll take you home
To his castle of chrome
To be his imperfect clone.

Give him what he wants
He smiles and he taunts
He laughs and he haunts.

Force those three little words out
He likes it when you scream and shout
He likes it when you beg and pout.

Tell yourself that it's real
When you find him in bed with her
When you make him lose his temper.

Because that's all you are to him,
Another excuse to be angry.
A seed of lust gone too far for him,
But you meant everything to me.

DifferentSomething feels different
Can anyone hear me?
Can anyone see me?
Can you touch me?

...
Is anyone even there?

Argentine TangoFind each other,
In a close embrace,
Breath on her ear,
Holding on tight,
Slow, staccato, slow,
Each step entwining with another.
Push away,
Shake him away,
Try and pull her back.
Turn back to him,
Remember.
Hold her again,
Forever.

Dance,
Together,
As one.

Human Hellour ancesters foretold the end

the day the sun would descent

and the world would blend

in darkness that never ends

humans have made enough mistakes

and the gods make sure they know there place

as all of the other realms stand face to face

menkind will have oblivion to embrace

angels from above will rain like fire

skeletons will come from the ground inspired

Demons will bring chaos and there's no denial

humans can't run, there's nothing left to defile

when the Undead comes, the Revolution will begin

all of the humans that have Sinned

will die in flames of our kin

and the world will peel of it's skin

the survivors of the Apocaly

That NightIt was just a night,
Cool and beautiful like your eyes
A night that I didn't expect

As you step out of my apartment, things just turned south
The look in your eyes, the way you smile, the way you responded to me
I knew something was wrong

A hug that meant almost like nothing
A kiss that was meaningless, an "I love you" just no response
I felt heartbroken as you walked away

But the only thing that was in my mind was to make this feeling go away
I had only hope in my eyes, enough to stop you and make you stay a little longer
To make you happy, that is all I ever wanted

Cheer up, everything is going to be alright
Trust me you will

YouYou
Start of every morning
I think
Think about you

You with your bright brown eyes that sparkle within the morning sun
The smile that keeps my heart beating
You give a new life each time I see you

But especially today
The day that gave a chance for all this to happen
Your very existence

I cherish every moment I spent with you
Moment by moment
Hoping, loving, growing

From the day that we started dating, it seem that it was just fling or something
Because I didn't know how to show it, that I care about you
Being too strong was always my weakness but yet it turned into a strength for me

Yet I'd felt that I was to lose you if I ma

MotherA mother,
What makes one?
Is it just giving birth or is it more?

Giving unconditional love
Doesn't matter what you do wrong, she is always there
Having this warmth that only a mother can have
Having a motherly heart that few can bare

But yet I feel cold, no one to go to
Not even my own mother
She just disowned me
Like I was a burden to her

Left me with this cold, bitter world I live through
I cried knowing she doesn't love me anymore
What went wrong?

She wasn't there when I did something wrong, I was just punished
She didn't have the warmth that tended a real mother would have
Motherly heart she didn't have

She wasn't ready t

I Have Something To SayPlease sit down, and look my way.
Listen there is something I have to say.
What started out as friends,
somehow it has grown much stronger and doesn't end,

I wish I could some how be stronger
I don't know how to fight this any longer
I have longed to hold you, to be by your side.
This feelings are getting harder to hide.

Why do I keep this in denial?
how can I go on hiding my feelings? How can I be so vile?
The way I feel whenever we're near,
It just fills my hearts with fear.

so afraid of getting hurt,
I turn our thoughts over to the lord.
He doesn't respond what do I do?
Why do I have the fear of loving

I'm SorryI feel so guilty for what I did
I need to get this thing off my chest
Nothing can change the fact
The only thing I can ask now is that you forgive me

What has be done in the past, stays in the past
Not to be brought up again
It was a mistake
I fell into temptation
Oh hear my woe

Please just stay; I feel I am such a mess
I will not make the same mistakes over and over
But old Satan is up to his tricks again and again
Falling for them each time

Lust, envy, greed are the ones that get me the most
Lust is the one that got me this time
When you weren't around, I was lonely and needed company

Why did I fall into something so stupid?

CheatedCheated
Something I could not believe happened to me
I trusted you and now just turn your back to me?
How could you hide something for all this time?

I know people can keep secrets from one other but not like this
Everything I knew about you was a lie
A lie that I cannot believe
There are certain things that are better unspoken

Your words mean nothing to me anymore
"I love you" the three words I knew was once true
But now, I know it is false

To the core I was shaken once you told me
A fake smile to tell you that everything is fine but really it's not
In my heart I knew something wasn't right
It's time for me to say good-bye

I remember how it all started
It was a quiet December day like today
That turn into something that I never would expected

But it feels bittersweet knowing it's gone
Or feels like how a child is lost in the big world out there
Just an empty feeling

People say love is a drug
From the start to finish
A high that everything is perfect or nothing can go wrong
But when it is gone, you feel the withdraw symptoms that won't go away

But no I'm just taking it in
Out the window of my apartment bedroom again
Tomorrow I'll be gone I don't know when I'll be back
But in this world everything can change just like that

Caught up in everyday life
Doesn't seem like nobody cares
Walking out seems like the only option
No one will miss me right?

Find myself somewhere else because home ain't what it used to be
Mom and Dad were fighting about everything
From dishes to who is looking after the child I had
I didn't know what to do

But no I'm taking it in
Out the window of my apartment bedroom again
The T.V is on, my bags are packed
But in this world everything can change just like that

Right now I run away from the problems I have
All the cares, responsibilities I had all need to step aside
And focus on getting my life back together
Was I even ready for any of this?

In a world like this, full of people
It is time for to show your true colours
I may not be perfect but I am who I am
Because one day I will be back but for now...

My bags are packed and the door is closing
Tomorrow I will be gone and I don't know when I am coming back
I take one last look and walk away
Because in a world like this everything can change just like that
