Things that once were,
Have faded and blown away,
Photographs crumpled and torn,
Lives apart,
Drifting farther everyday.

Looking for answers,
In dog eared pages,
Journals of emotion,
Unjustly biased in vain.

Some look for answers,
Crawling through memories past.
Clouded by the fogs of time,
Confusion is what lasts.

Desperation infuses,
With the pains of the heart,
Searching for forgiveness,
In the origins of another start.

Finding no answers,
To riddles long since said.
Tears begin to shatter,
The layer of ice in the bed.

Passion lures wanderers,
Into traps of a loveless maze.
Where desire consumes abstainers,
In a bleak fantasizing haze.

We all need reaffirmation,
Of things we have been through,
But none of us are granted,
The innocence we once knew.

As our actions taint our loving,
Into things in which we want no part,
We lose ourselves to drowning,
In the tears of a dying heart.

So with love, I give my affirmation,
To the things I have held dear,
Finding in time the answers,
To make the dark times clear.
Hopeful for the future,
For the eyes that hold my praise,
I can feel their wonder,
Hold me in their loving gaze.

What once was old is now forgotten,
What once was new is old,
What once was ripe turns rotten,
As these days form tales to be told.
Perhaps there is a future,
Perhaps there is only past,
But with a little dedication,
My love for you will always last.

From my window it creeps,

A slinking shadow.

I cannot contain my fear,

Or motivate my voice.

Desperation

Clings to my mind,

Pressing the shadow,

Into all of my fears.

What lies in a second chance?

Another hope?

For the failures of once,

May haunt again,

And the overwhelming sensation,

Begins once more,

Twice more poisonous than before.

Dealing a hand in shadows,

Left you in the dark.

Naked

Surrounded by your clothes of fear.

Fretting about anything and everyone.

“Almost” said a whisper,

A whisper of a voice dead and gone.

“I loved you, and then was alone.”

Alone, shaken.

Surrounded by these shadows.

These things in the night.

These desperate things,

Who have chosen,

Chosen you.

To push and pull,

Twist and bend.

Looking for sunlight,

In a bottomless well.

Looking for love,

In a doubting soul.

At least theres hope,

Lying in desperation.

At least there’s want,

In the searching of need.

Roast beef and fucking key lime pie!

I got featured :)

I dreamed I jumped into a wall of rain,

Landed on my back in balmy sunlit sand,

Felt the tide of the ocean sweep me out,

And didn’t care where I ended up.

Eventually I made it back to my street,

Washed against a truck, climbed into the bed.

Heard the wind ripping through my skin,

Watched in amazement as water filled up,

My town like a giant fish bowl.

And all the little fishes scattered about.

I didn’t care where I ended up,

Just enjoyed the wind and the ocean.

Astronauts on the International Space Station captured these views of the aurora australis (“southern lights”) and wildfires in Australia in mid-September 2011.

O my darlin’

O my darlin’

O my darlin Clementine,

You were lost and gone forever,

Dreadful sorry,

Clementine.

It means merciful doesn’t it?

Clemency?

I want to watch that movie again.

I’ve been looking in this mirror for such a long time.

Trying to go somewhere, trying to be someone.

20 years later, I’m still standing here.

Gazing into the past, gazing into regret.

Peering through clouds of mist.

Knowing I’ll only live to forget.

I’ve been myself, when no one else seemed to fit.

I’ve been you, when our lives seemed to click.

You were in my arms, a million miles away.

You were in my head, each and every day.

Running freely, building cities in stone.

They lit up fine and bright,

Emanated their love, shone a new light.

Then like sandcastles against the surf,

They were lost

Shapes in the clouds.

That beautiful sunlight,

Had run out of time.

As darkness descended on me,

Another light had shone the way.

Tied beautifully with the skeletons of old,

Reanimated corpses would dance and play.

Amongst the seconds of time,

That light lost it’s wonderful shine.

Standing in the shadows,

Of love’s awesome glory,

Lies the beginning of another story.

Enclosed in mine,

Hope shining through.

A palm made for two.

We can rest ours together,

To hope for the best,

Put these fears to rest.

The truth bleeds through,

For both me and you.

Fingers wrapped in each other,

Looking for more than each other,

Hands encased in wax,

As time lets us relax.

That endless symbol,

Hand in hand,

Older than time,

Worth eternity’s time.

Hand in hand,

Facing the world alone,

We should have known,

Should have known.

These tears shake,

Foundation made of stone,

The hardest of hearts,

Quake and moan.

Endless love,

Flowing past life.

We love to love,

We love to forget,

A past of errors,

A flaw we regret.

Simply put,

Love our life,

Hate to watch it go,

And when you find someone,

To watch it with.

You’ll always know,

There is a day,

When that person thinks of you,

Reminisces of times gone and spent,

But the memories live on,

So don’t you forget.

Just yet..
