[tatteredscroll]

The tired heart,

Bruised and battered

But beating still,

Grows weary

[tatteredscroll]

I awaken.

Warm and snug in my bed

I see nothing, I know nothing,

I am nothing.

Then, all at once

Dark waves come crashing in

Grasping, clawing, pulling,

Dragging me down to the depths

Before I ever have the chance

To get up

[tatteredscroll]

Earl Gray

I stare into my mug

Unseeing

The dark liquid reflecting

My clouded mind

I take a sip

And feel the warmth

Soothe my tired soul

[tatteredscroll]

I am the dandelion in the field of roses.

[tatteredscroll]

And thus it came

The witching hour

Doomed to pace

My lonely tower

[tatteredscroll]

There's no hiding

From the shadows that live

Behind your eyes

[tatteredscroll]

I want to live in the world I was promised as a child.

[tatteredscroll]

Climb down the hole

Beneath the tree

And walk among

The stars with me

[tatteredscroll]

I love you lots

Like vodka shots

Maybe I used to

But something changed

And I just can tolerate

The terrible taste

You leave when you're gone

I used to love you

Lots like vodka shots

[tatteredscroll]

Any place

Any time

I'd do anything

As long

As it's

With you

Haiku

Five go here to start

Seven make up the middle

Five more to finish

[tatteredscroll]

Dancing in the dark

See the flames flicker softly

I have found my home

[tatteredscroll]

You are a spectre of the monsters that you've seen.

[tatteredscroll]

Fly away with me

On the wings of tomorrow

I am not afraid

[tatteredscroll]

Do not try to save me from my demons

For we are old friends

And they know me far better than you ever could

And do not ask that I save you from yours

As I am no one’s hero

Only hold my hand

And walk beside me in the darkness

[tatteredscroll]

You're Beautiful

Like a towering Redwood Forest

Strong. Resilient.

Ever-reaching

For the stars

And like a waterfall

Cascading down a rocky slope

Turning the most violent existence

Into something magical

You're Beautiful
