The hands of the clock are crooked, Time slowly falls away, A never-ending battle, We slip from night to day, A conflict we cant escape, A struggle each step we take, Adrift in a sea of chaos, From this nightmare we cannot wake, From rage to calm within, Cycles of rushing and waiting, A balance none have mastered, A duel of loving and hating, Our morality's source unknown, How do we so freely forgive our sin, Yet shy away from our virtues, As we live in a strangers skin, A contemptible bunch are we, Performing both good and evil acts, Wings of each devil and angel, Protrude and sprout from our backs, Waging wars for peace, Claim to accept yet

And all at once, it happened, just like that.  No great spectacle, no cliche or overly grandiose moment.  As instant as a candle being blown out.  As quiet as a whisper. His own poetic travesty. And almost as if not wishing to be pretentious, it went calmly, as if falling asleep for the last time.                  His heart had broken. It had grown weak, been torn and tattered, beaten and bruised, left bleeding, healed and scarred many times over. The webbing crack that had been growing during his life thus far had finally given way.  Sweet lies hid bitter truths, he was not

Upon this paper, I lament, the pieces  I’ve given, the hate I’ve spent. Emptiness, my hollow breath, the life was taken, and given was death. Farewell, flightless dove, found was my hell, lost was my love. Fractured eyes, broken tears, bleeding heart, these pencil smears.

Section 1-OVERVIEW “Love” The term love to most bring about the usual generic images or thoughts of waking up next to that special someone who instantly brightens your day, Walking along the beach with hand in hand and knowing that you would be content to just keep walking forever, laying in a field beneath a star filled sky and yet not looking up but looking beside you at something far more beautiful and mysterious. But what do you know about love? I understand this question may be somewhat confusing to some, so allow me to be more specific. What is it and How does it work? Well ladies and gentleman I am here to answer thos

Heaven and hell I am betwixt, Floating along this river Styx, Its icy waters silence my tongue, Its fiery embers burn my lungs, Light is fading, darkness abound, In its depths I’ll surly drown, Conflicting thoughts of a maddened youth, Where lies are sweet and bitter the truth, Planets fall when stars align, Knotted threads of fate intertwine, Burden the speaker of these fragile words, They are but chains on flightless birds, Fight fire with fire, the world will burn; consumed in its regrets The flame must die, torch fade away; for only hopelessness it begets, Rage against the current to reach this accursed plutonian shore

Emotions are currency where love is sought, all debts of the mind forgiven, yet those of the heart not soon forgot.

To win we need to learn, To learn we need to fail, To fail we need to fall, To fall we must part the veil, To part the veil we need to change, To change we need to try, To try we need to love, To love we need to cry, To cry we need to lose, To lose we need our pain, Our pain needs our heart, Our heart needs our brain, Our brain needs our thoughts, Our thoughts need to feel, To feel we need our perceptions, To tell us what is real, To know what’s real we need our faith, To have faith we need our soul, To have a soul we need belief, To have belief we must pay the toll, The price of which is an end, To end we need to start, To start w

A penny for your thoughts, A smile for your dream, A hero for your nightmares, Someone to hold you when you scream, A nickel for your secrets, Bravery for your fears, A kiss for your scars, A hand to wipe away the tears, A dime for your pain, Love to heal the sorrow, A light for your darkness, Is my promise for your tomorrow.
