Our End

Awake me, you’re sorry, a killing return

I let you, I’m crazy, we touch but not burn

The fire between us, magnified by the time

It’s all real, a pain thrill, the choice was mine

When you go, I know the darkness will fall

I’ll reach out, i love you, but nothingness calls

I’m not strong, you know this, I’ll see you again

So promise, you love me and make this our end

Phoenix Rising

You look at me with your interpretation of my character. A misconception. I am a phoenix.

Phoenix Rising:

Rapturous and Resolute.

My intent:

Volatile and Permanent

I've walked too far for you to watch me fall.

The soul I've nurtured,

these wings

will not spread in Vain.

Im just oh so tired of feeling this loneliness and would kill for love like ive seen.

Ive found out recently life is so hard without someone by your side,

If only I could find someone that holds a candle to how you made me feel.

Its not you I want its new exciting love that i long.

So whos got the guts to take on my challenge,

Who dares to step up and take a chance?

Sometimes: Sunday Confessions

Sometimes I wonder if I run for your sake or mine:

To prevent any more injuries or prevent the knowing of their existence.

I am fascinated by your being

In truth, I believe that my inclusion could only taint such a lovely sight.

A belief that only gains strength and reality with each passing day.

A belief I can't escape

No More

Your vision fogs up and standing up gets hard to do. You fall. You fall because you let yourself to fall. Fear leads you away if you allow it. 

Fear of truth,

Fear of self. On my time away, I've been picking up shells to see if I could really hear the ocean. Everyday it gets Louder, Everyday it gets Stronger. It tells me I've forgotten, it tells me I've ran away. It tells me No more.

Momentary Insanity: A Narrative

I'd like to introduce you to Abel, my guru. It is all very simple, really. I embarked on a self rediscovery about seven years ago; and somewhere in the mist I met this colossal voice of guidance. It has been hard to confront some of the things he's proposed and theorized. Because he poses challenges, to seek answers were many do not venture. No euphemisms, no sugar coating. The most humbling of times, to say the least. And his words, alone, Engaging. Inspiring Abel proceeded to the front of the room. Pacing back and forth.. Hands behind his back. " What is Bravery?" "I repeat, what is Bravery?" He smiled keenly because he knew the severity of this concept. "Bravery, My Dear, is momentary insanity." Hear it comes. "Bravery is momentary insanity. The point where all reason and rationale are thrown out the way. Where passion meets impulse. When you wear your insides out. Expose the true of heart. What beats in your chest. The very belief, idea, and being you surrender yourself to. The coming to terms in the mirror. That Yes this is what you need, want, desire, hope for. Acceptance, yes. And yet taking that acceptance and personifying it. Bravery! Bravery is dousing yourself with passion for This. Covering every inch of your flesh. Slathering on war paint, dominating every bit of your soul. Let it fill your lungs. Find home in your limbs, your core: to Act. Because your life, your very existence depends on it. He walked centered, shaking his index finger. "Bravery, my dear, is the breath every being seeks. Because Without It, You Are Nothing." Class dismissed.

Self Vow

As she stammers and begins to fall, I beg her, “please breathe.” Her being buckles and I step to grab her by her grace My grace She looks at me through the glass, lacerating the earth with her ever most frustrations. Careful composition, guided by fury. “I promise,” I said.

My freebird

Tell me what you see, tell me what you know Surrender your heart and the fire will glow Walk by moonlight to our secret place Close your eyes and let me feel your face

Hold me close cause we are meant to be Love feels better when we know it’s free Your lips are my refuge one kiss can save Release the dragon from her secluded cave

Tell me those words I long to hear Promise to speak without regret or fear I’ve waited so long for this time to come I know in my heart you were always the one

I admit at times this love caused pain But what’s love cost if it affords no gain So take what you see, take what you know Take my heart freebird and let our love grow
