Pour Your Emotions Out

Place your hand
Over your heart
Underneath your skin
Radiance flows; So many

Yesterdays
On top of each other
Unseen time lines of
Repression

Each day goes bleeding into the next
Monday mornings are every morning
Ominous in
Their designs
Intricate as they are
Only simple rules of physics
Nothing more, nothing less
Some knowledge has been lost to the ages

Obstacles rest in knowing
Universal
Truths

Basking in The Sunshine

Born as free
As wild can be
Swim for your life!
Kings have died for less
In the primes of their lives
Negotiation could be taken as a sign of weakness
Gold too precious to leave without

In nature, there are no such worries
Nature itself is gold

The takers know they will be taken
Heart breakers can just as
Easily die of broken hearts

Some small lessons can be taught early on
Unless you are unwilling to learn
Nobody can reach you?!
Shouting yet nobody
Hears you?!
It doesn't take long for you to give up
Nobody is alone
Even someone like me

Meeting Disaster

If you spoke my name aloud
I'd swallow your words
They'd swim inside me like so much soda
If I lived in your shoes for a day
It'd only be fair for you
To live in mine
Or would you?
The wind blowing in through the crack in the window
Sounds like it's screaming
Energy spills out and pushes in
An invisible intruder
Like a tea kettle screaming
I am steamed
It just seemed
As though you thought of nothing
For the past thousand years
Unconsciousness
Meeting disaster

I Hear Your Voice In My Head

I thought I was going crazy 

Hearing things that were not

Even being said

A seemingly plausible explanation

Resting on the scale balancing sanity and insanity 

You told me that it's just our connection

One so strong that it can pass barriers

Unique conditions; You

Remind me all the time that I'm not going crazy

Verification is only a detail

Only a tool to get others to believe you

I know that I only have to believe myself

Coincidence is one thing

Everyone needs to deem everything as being real 

I know what I feel

Nobody can tell me that I'm crazy 

Maybe not as crazy as some

Yes, we're all crazy 

Hearing messages only meant for me

Emitting private communications

And they can say what they will of me; They

Don't have as strong a connection

Turn Me Inside Out

This is what you were made for
Underneath your skin, you're just like everyone else
Recognizance of the all too familiar
Never going too far away

Mold me into something I've never been
Edgings alight in gold

I could tell you something
Nobody's told you
Something so sick and private
It could make you ill beyond illness
Delight in the stillness
Everyone must depart

Oblivious to oblivion
Understanding is not comprehending
They say they understand, but cannot possibly comprehend

My Majestic Maiden

Many are like you
Yet you are unlike any

My heart could never belong to
Any as much as you have it
Just to be a small part
Escaping into your
Softness
Time seems to brake
In certain places
Cannot pause it forever

My one friend
Animal or not
I'd love to be with you always
Denying that death
Eventually comes seeking
Never taking you from my heart

A Step Above The Rest

Anywhere could have been

Somewhere I would have stayed
They did not give me a choice
Even a chance
Purposely pushing me

Away from everyone
But telling me that I spend too much time
On my own
Verifying
Every reason I ever had

To want to be on my own
How helpless I used to be
Even now, not having

Reasons to want to go out there to claim my own
Esteem
Self confidence
Trust in myself

Glimmer of Hope

Give me reasons to believe
Let me hold onto something even
If I could only imagine
Miracles on earth
Moving me in all directions of the wind
Emerging in places from which I may never
Return

Once I could stand on your shoulders like tall mountains and shout
From so far away

Here I could be small and insignificant
Only a spectator
Pointing out that
Everyone knew you'd be here, but me

No Safety

As tempting as it is
To runaway
As I spent so many summers
Of my youth
Trying to get away
From what was attached to me
As though it was an internal part of me
Running away from my history
Park benches
Refuges of the night
Anywhere unseen
I could have been
Hidden
I could have been tucked away
From the elements of any given day
Even alone
I cannot seem to close my eyes
Or keep them close
Once they have closed
Momentarily I lapse
Into a false feeling of safety
There is no safety
When I couldn't even have been safe
From me

Flash in the Dark

A flash in the dark
Sporadic spark
Enough to be seen
Not enough to stay in between
The chance to have become
The light to have conquered the dark
The ignition of an inferno
So bright that you could have been
The smoldering promise
That daylight couldn't hold a candle
To your likeness
Save for your face
Wasn't enough to keep you in place
Of memories of you
Of so many just like you
Even though you
Are one of a kind
I still hope one day to find
Justice for you
For all you went through
So sorry you fell through
The cracks
Made when we turn our backs
