master to the slave
owner of the damned
nation of the heart
beaten like the drum
line up for the fall
forward thinking people
person in to deep
water getting cold
cut
down by the fire
fighter for the weak
willed to do nothing
more than we ever know
not told to lie
cheat
stealer of all hearts
call a spade
anything you want
because
nothing really matters
not in your lifetime
not in mine
eyes full of hope
floats to the surface
sitters of the baby
faced down in the blue
crushed by the world
in His hands
clean

in this blackless sky
counting scars never really ends
as once you gripped my ever beating heart
now dropped to the floor
long forgotten
tormented are my mind and soul
as my limbs go weak
and my stomach, it burns
and my eyes and breath cry out
for only you held my heart
quite like you did
and this lack of all
hollows
and i fill myself up with anything that passes the time
substance matters not
as long as the clock ticks by
at a pace i can manage
though these years go too slowly
and my essence snuffed out with the motion of the butterfly
so i'll drift on this wind until snagged by the trees
a kitten to save
a baby to cradle
a puzzle to piece

six word memoirs

the dragon sleeps, both eyes open.

get down

the rise of the wave
the fall of the land
wash away
the pillars and the foundation
of everything that held me together
now in this
building back up
nothing more than sand
so i dig myself a hole
and wait for the rising of the tide

your judgement of others makes you no better than anyone else

alone

wishing time stood still has never been more of a regret than now
as i sit here contemplating the difference between a life and a death
and nothing moves but my breath
no beauty have i ever seen
that matches this
the world in it's calm

six word memoirs

don't mistake my love for need.

the end

It’s only the end
I’ve never felt [like] such the fool
There is no getting over
There is only getting through
And sitting here, I know not worse
Than knowing I will too
As long as you hold always
That I can’t stop loving you

my hands are naked without yours intertwined
and my body aches with only my head to keep company
10800 seconds
and i could be by your side
if you'd have me by your side
10800 seconds
is where my heart resides
still lost in your eyes
i'm still lost in your eyes

entranced in our entangled glow
my head swims
lights dip
all motion's slow
nothing exists
except for us
hearts beat
in love
one
two
one
two

love is everything

~ love is everything they said it would be
love made sweet and sad the same
but love forgot to make me too blind to see
you're chickening out aren't you?
you're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
i can't wait 'til you make the whole kingdom come
so i'm leaving ~
