parchment

scratching paper

this pen has run out of ink…

write with blood.

scratch surfaces of skin.

skim the bones.

squeeze the ink from that heart.

the story goes on.

this is art.

No Ordinary Hero

When I wish,

You are my shooting star.

You are my runaway car.

I dare my eyes to close.

No hesitations.

No inhibitions.

You are my solid foundation.

I sing a tune,

You are my harmony.

You are serenity.

I aim for the highest notes.

My voice rings true.

I sing for you.

When I leap,

You are my safety sphere.

You are my rocketeer.

I gladly fall back.

I fall back in your arms.

Infatuation

I lost myself in those eyes.

Mesmerize, I am nothing more.

A shadow of what was before;

shattered, broken, rebuilt.

Feigning strength, I pull away.

Your heartbeat drums, making me stay.

No, don’t hold my hand just yet.

I was nothing and everything when our skins met.

No concept of time or space.

An endless sea of nameless face.

Floating neither her nor there.

Your eyes keep me in place.

Shield my soul.

Hide this heart.

Mindless Courage

Standing on edge, waiting for that dive.

Waiting for that one moment, where I can feel alive.

The bright blue waves crashing towards boulders

Give me no fear, I am ready to go under.

Shouting, at blue and open skies.

I challenge fate, the kind that defies.

No rules, no reservations.

No stopping, no considerations.

Toes perched, on a cliff.

Swinging arms, thrusting hips.

Down, down a spiral I will go.

I will enjoy the ride.

I will enjoy the show!

Asleep

Whispers drift and float around my little corner.

I hear them speaking, unclear but calling.

Straining ear, I reach with heart.

Breaking peace, breaking silence.

Reach out with your soul

Though it makes no sense at all.

Open your arms wide

Open your eyes.

The world is all around you.

Bursting with color.

Listen with your heart.

All you need to do is start.

You are not alone, not alone forever.

Get up!

Get out!

Leave your sullen little corner!

I AM

time flies fast when your wing’s unbroken
the world is yours to conquer
you could soar higher than any cloud
look down on every crowd
yes you are free
free to fly

time moves fast and you start forsaking
the pieces that you left behind
always wanting to look forward
forget everything
fly far away
from him

that’s when you miss him; love him
as your heart becomes your ball and chain
you think your free but your mistaken
some feelings just can’t be forgotten

time slows to a painful stop
wings come undone like a broken clock
you pick yourself up, you’ve fallen…hard.

that’s when you see him; hate him
as you wish your heart to stop beating
you lose yourself to this pain…

time freezes your world over
you find pretty feathers everywhere
realizing they’re from you…

you are beautiful

that’s when you leave him though you love him
cause you deserve to fly with the wind
you look up to the sky…

you’re beautiful …when you fly…
