Backseat Serenade
We fell in love that night
Beneath a sky of shooting stars and waning moon
Hidden away in a garden all our own
We promised the world
But needed nothing more than you and I.
We were high on youth and drunk on love
Our thrones were the worn seats of a Chevy
Our riches and gems nothing more than a battered guitar and combat boots
We lived our lives in a state of eternal summer
We professed young love on tattered back seats
The heady smell of cheap cigarettes and perfume heavy on the midnight air
And the tang of whiskey tainting lover's...

His Blossom
He sees the best in me
Those parts I had long forgotten
Buried so deep I had become blind to their existence
His warm sunny smiles
And soft soothing voice
Coax those parts alive again
Sending them reaching
Seeking for him
Like a plant reaching for the life giving sun
His laughter is like rain
Feeding my soul
Giving this blossom strength to bloom
His crystalline eyes are the sky above
His arms the steady earth on which I stand
His gentle words are soothing winds that whisk away dark clouds
I never once...

A New Adventure
I am terrified of leaving
But far more scared to stay.
This town is not for me.
It's time I went away.
This is my big chance,
A great big opportunity.
Maybe in my new destination
I can finally become all I'm supposed to be.
It will be a new chapter
In the little book fate writes for me
It will be the next big adventure
And where this new road takes me...I simply can't wait to see.
But far more scared to stay.

Sleeping In
I am warm.
I am safe.
Cocooned in the gentle warmth of soft blankets
Sunlight streaming though an open window
A familiar and fluffy pet snuggled close.
Oh how I adore these lazy mornings
Of sleeping in and dearly beloved pajamas.
It is on these mornings
Nothing exists outside this messy bedroom.
No tests,stress or worry.
Interrupted only by an annoying alarm
Quickly silenced with an irritated groan.
With a quick glance at the time
And the refusal to awaken fully
I burrow deep inside the warmth and soon
Am fast asleep once more...

Sonnet 1
For who among us has gained immortal life?
Whom among our numbers will ever escape
That fast enroaching day,brought by sickness or knife
Ravaged by misfortune,brought down by fate
Authors,Artists among us have escaped the fade of time
Immortalized in the memories of men
Cast there by publication of tragedies and rhyme
Of stories of love and things that had once been
Immortal men raised so high long ago
Names whispered and passed throughout history
Nothing but works to testify of men who all should know
Brilliant mortal heroes shrouded in mystery...

Ballad of the Flower
There was a flower longing to be adored.
A living testament to love and life and so much more
Like the morning sun unaffected by the night
Each day she woke and graced the world with her humble light
She stood strong against the flood
Grounded deep and strong in the mud
Clouds and sunshine came and passed
This little flower struggled to last
Her petals so beautiful and bright
Gleamed in even the sun's last light
All through the night the flower on guard
This little beauty never would've guessed a flower's life could be so hard
Come morning and...

Beauty
It races through me
Through the very marrow of my bones
To my nerves and heart and soul.
Speechless,lost in this unearthly beauty
The beauty of nature
Enraptured by the curves of the land
Of glistening oceans and uninhabited forests
Everything is lost once more
Beauty overtaking my senses
Bathing me me in a haze of sapphire hued daydreams
Flying far above a carpet of endless white
Under the stately beauty of emerald expanses
I have been gifted with a glimpse into heaven
No longer is there a Me.
Nothing left of a single...
Through the very marrow of my bones
To my nerves and heart and soul.

Battle Scars
I'm not ashamed
Of the lines on my skin
Left there long ago
By the demons within
I'm not ashamed
To stand tall and true
Refusing to bend and cower
Under the gaze of someone like you
I'm not ashamed of my scars
Of self inflicted wounds
Remnants of a war
That raged on so many moons
I'm not ashamed of these badges of war
A sign that I am strong
Stripes of a tiger
That fought back for so long
I'm not ashamed
Of these lines so red
The only outward sign
That there was once demons in my head
I'm...

These Are the Best Times
These are the times we'll remember
Long after childhood has faded away
Us against the world
Living life in an eternal summer state
These are the times
Of loud music
And louder laughter
Of late nights spent on the phone
These are the times of childish pranks
Inside jokes and laughter that never dies
This is the time of best friends
Creating the best of memories
These are the times of blossoming
Shedding the awkward cocoon
And finding out
Just who we really are.
These are our invincible years
Where being...

Rest In Pieces
Rest in piece
Well more like pieces
You fucking whore
I'd love to see it when Karma catches up to you
You like the taste of cock so much
Why don't you go choke on one?
It'd be a better death
Than any i'd gift you with
You prance around little daddy's little princess
But you're not protected by a tiara
I'll make sure you get what you deserve
If Karma doesn't make her rounds
You fucked with the wrong girl
Touched the wrong man
I hope it was worth it to you
Because didn't you know?
Whore like you
End up...

The Ghost of Love
It breaks my heart
To see you like this
So broken and torn down
Sobbing where she left you
Despite my best efforts
I cannot revive you
From the living dead you've become
I only wish my love was enough
You always were so blind
So drunk on her you failed to see
That this friendly affection I harbored
Was so much more than that of a friend
And now she has left you
A mere ghost of yourself
And yet I continue to love you
Or am I in love with the man you were?
Perhaps I stay at your side
In hopes of requited...

The Thing I Fear
I have never been one
To fear Death's touch
The pain of a knife
When life becomes to much
I fear not the darkness
In which monster's hide
Nor of the betrayer
In whom it is unwise in which to confide
I fear not that which burns and destroys
That deadly touch of fire
I do not fear cheaters
Those oh so clever liars
I do not fear oblivion
The nothingness in which I lose myself
I do not fear a disease which steals my mind
And stacks memories away on some forgotten shelf
I do fear though
