I look to the sky...

Here is another one I rather like. I just rather enjoy some of the lines...the part in italics is Psalm 38:10...enjoy!



I look to the sky
For I hear the horizon holds wonders.
The stars do shimmer brilliantly.
I wonder when the sun will rise,
They say its warmth is glorious.
For now though, my skin grows cold,
I search for something to keep me warm
As I wait for the revelation
Of what was meant for me.
In the stars
I see a bright smile, sparkling eyes,
And a loving embrace.
In the stars.
I wonder when the sun will rise.
Maybe I’ll walk through the mountains,
For here lies nothing
But memories and scars.
The mountains hold promise.
Maybe they are hiding
What I’ve been searching for.
I look, and find potential
Hidden within the rocks, among the trees.
Though warm for a moment,
The stones form bruises on my back,
The trees leave scratches in my skin.
There is nothing more here
Than what I left behind.
My heart pounds, my strength fails me;
Even the light has gone from my eyes.

I wonder when the sun will rise
As I wander in solitude,
Lost in the epic of the silencing of dreams.

I watch as the moon...

Another one I rather like. Its a very nice, dark reflection on my life. Just a point of clarification...I talk a lot about "another bed" and things such as that in my poems, but that's simply my poetic license, cause I'm a virgin...I take liberties. Haha. Like they say in the movie V for Vendetta, "artists use lies to tell the truth." Just wanted you to know that...enjoy!


I watch as the moon
Chases the sun from the sky,
As the clouds
Drive the warmth away.
Silently, the snow
Conquers the land.
Bleak, barren,
And cold.
This is a familiar place.
I stand watching it all,
But they take no notice of me.
I must find my place
In this cycle.
Though so meaningless,
It is the only meaning I can find,
So I hide in the warmth
Of another bed,
Another embrace
To call my own
Even if only for one night…

I search for a flower
In the snow covered field.
Maybe then
Someone would understand.

Wandering through the night
Feels so secure.
Alone again,
But it isn’t so bad
With the darkness
Wrapping around me.
I feel so at home now.
Sirens in the distance.
I am safe
In my solitude.
Maybe soon
My dream will come true.
The shadows of two buildings,
Cast by the feeble attempts
To push away the night,
Might hold my solace.
Just one step to the side
And frightened cries fill the air.
There it is…

I have my own flower
In the stone covered field.
Maybe now
Someone will understand.

Where are you...

I think this was purely a need to write and get out my emotions...so yeah, enjoy!


Where are you
When tears fall in the dark.
Where have you gone
As I lie alone
Staring at the stars,
Not so luminous now.
Maybe tonight
You will come back to me…

I can still feel
The brush of your skin
Against mine,
The passion of your love
Flowing through the air.
I can taste it,
As a warmth spreads
From my stomach
Much like this call
To you tonight…

I love you.
Do you love me tonight?
You brought me here
With your well picked words
And your revealing smiles.
Maybe a laugh betrayed
You absence tonight.
Well an empty bottle
And frightened eyes
Illustrate my accidental
Suicide

Masquerade

I bet you can guess what was going on when I wrote this one. But there are obviously multiple meanings behind it...enjoy!


I watch
As shades of white
Fall silently
Swirling,
Swirling,
To the beat
Of an unheard orchestra.
Nothing now
But the pulsing rhythm
Of their falling bodies.
One by one
They are dropped
And one by one
They fall
Swirling,
Swirling,
Until they land
Piling mass
Upon mass,
Until holes
Are filled to overflowing.
But still they fall
Swirling,
Swirling,
To take rest
Until all they are
Disappears
Into the ground.
