Midnight Masquerade
Amassed to rejoice in the sheer merriment of life
Mother Nature has supplied us with this night
And a companion to share in this sumptuous delight
Moonlight crafts a titivation in the room as it streams through the ballroom windows
Music saturates the air, floods the room, and courses through our veins
Blood is pounding, boiling under the surface of our skin, rousing ecstasy
Twirling in the ballroom, as the clock strikes twelve, we glide on the marble floor
Souls are ablaze, but the faces are obscured so we cannot see
Intricate masks cover the fragile...

Regaining Strength
In the melancholy painted Shadows, I once lurked
Never craving the need to pursue the Light
Suffocating, I always traveled deeper into the mass
Weeping with such deep sorrow; no aspiration to fight
Motivation absent for months
Happiness drained from my very essence
A transformation must transpire so I can be revitalized
If anything at all, what I need is true guidance
Branches protrude, extending their hands in an espousal
With the simple wish in the furtherance of my progression
I must salvage my once previously held state of mind and...

The Journey to Sovereignty
Walking on the twisted path between the trees, I stumbled in the darkness
Down on my soil covered knees, I looked up to see again the petrifying glow of your eyes
Aided by the moon’s sorrowful light, I was able to see your silhouette
Your look penetrated austerely, allowing me to again view the slow process of my own demise
Pleading to break free from your vindictive grasp
So desperately, I wish to be forsaken, for you have secured me for so long
Wearing the collar of shame and guided by the leash of detriment
I am bound to do your will, though...

Death, Not Glory
"If battle were to rise, I will sacrifice myself to serve my people, my home, my land, and my town
I will not stand aside while innocent lifeblood is being shed
Joyous smiles have not been presented to our town for multiple decades; only dreary frowns
Sorrow flows melodiously through our howling winds, gifting us with dejection and the fear of bloodshed
What are we to do when Deceit wears the shining crown?"
With freshly sharpened swords raised to the heavens, the warriors are ready for battle
Shouting a fierce battle cry, they rush into enemy territory...

The Blade of Vengeance
With unforgiving words, down to the barest of bone, you slashed!
Depriving my elated soul from its now lifeless corpse, leaving deep, bloody gashes
Due to the cruelty you crafted, I am left forsaken evermore
From your harsh tongue and cruel hands, I repeatedly receive a thousand angry lashes
Both visible and hidden scars mark my body proportionately
Through them, you sign your dirty, obscene, offensive, and immoral name to my once pure flesh
My virtue, you stole, and my body's skin is thickly coated with unwashable grime
I am a stained, tainted, decaying...

A Rainbow
An iridescent, sparkling, vivacious rainbow glitters in the loving daylight
A baby born of the Sweet Lullabies that nourish the earth and our Colossal Star
What an awe-inspiring phenomenon it is to behold such a polychromatic sight
And it appears bearing a gift; a bit of joy, wrapped with a bow, to diminish our sorrows from afar
This child has saved you and allowed you to recover from your own penitentiary
Giving you hope and faith when all else was not even present
After one lingering glance at this newborn infant with vibrant, multihued eyes, you can see its...

Religion
I shall be the one to bring about my own demise
My battles, actions, and deeds will determine my fate
I see the world, along with the people who inhabit it, with my own eyes
For what I know, and knowing me, I say that this is surely great
How can we say that religion is accurate?!?!?!
It has only came about due to our fear
For when we could not find the answers, we crafted it
Invisible, shimmering curtains appear between diverse communities; ever so sheer
A society divided cannot stand
And until we realize this, we will have divisions, and life...

Two Colliding Worlds
In life, we are driven by a powerful force within us
A force that allows us to dig deep in uncertainty
Binding our minds in a state of equality
Leaving us between two colliding worlds
Two fires interlace with our desires
Binding passions with raw energy and determination
Both allow us to approach accomplishment and completion
However, they are lovely contrasts
These fires feed off of the other’s inverse
One fire naturally feeds off of sanguinity
While the other is like ice; feeding off of negativity
The blazing flames are...

Depression
Creeping upon the living, it dances its way into your inner core
Binding itself to you, leaving no room for fresh invaders
For it creates a decrepit corpse by consuming flesh and crafting bloody gore
Once you are devoured, it will move on to claim yet another victim with mournful whispers
It generates debilitated essences within our bodies
Casting its lonely shadow down upon the joyful spirits we have once known
It becomes a plague that no one can seem to appease
What was a delightful soul, is now despondent; feeling alone
Irises of pooling...

Beginning Anew
Lightning strikes beating innocence
Solemn droplets fall from the once bright, blue sky
In the air, grief becomes the all- consuming fragrance
What was dazzling is now a dull melancholy
Clouds shed their lonely tears upon the welcoming ground
For they must to appease their sorrowful spirits
Fears, doubts, and tragedies plague their minds with a thundering sound
They drift, looking for a safe place to reveal interpersonal secrets
Misery echoes in the wind; whispering thoughts of agony
So averse to overcome hardships and sufferings,
But willing...

Together
Strip me from my earthly form, but leave my soul exposed
Peel back my flesh and see the immaculate beauty within
Open these doors of passion, for they have been forever closed
Release me from my prison and allow us to begin
Bind me to you in a way that has never been done before
Take my hand, whisper in my ear, kiss my lips, and bestow upon me your soul
To mix ours as one, your essence, you shall pour
As one we are incomplete, but together we are whole
Dance within my utmost interpersonal thoughts and dreams
Guide me through...

Longing For Something Unknown
The endless hunger begins to consume
Longing for the sensation all have spoken of, but rarely felt
But the question is from whom
Who will satisfy my ever- growing hunger?
The eternal thirst overwhelms
Yearning for a sip of the delectable unknown
But the question is where I will find it amid these realms
Who will quench my everlasting thirst?
Countless will be affected
Innocent hearts will be torn and glistening tears will be shed
But all will be forgotten
These results, will they ever cease?
Will I ever reach satisfaction?...
