Metamorphosis

The chrysalis is closing tight,
 its getting harder and harder to breathe, wrapped up where I'm sheltered from the wrath of my own disease.
Conforming to the space, molded to what's expected to be, twisting in a living crypt begging to break free.

Shatter the holds that bind me, Tear away the cloth that blinds me, Breathe life into this soul of mine that is lost unto the day, Set me free, let me go and watch me fly away..

Washed away

Waves engulf a lonely shore, time again upon the sand, left is nothing there before, only imprints where i stand.

Stepping forward, I glance behind to ponder where I've been, all but memories washed away, as tides come crashing in...

I have stood on the edge of existence,
glanced at the vastness of all eternity
and witnessed the light of my spirit
in the tiniest glimmer in his eyes.

I Wait

I stand outside the doorway, time passes around me
as I wait for you to invite me in.

From time to time you chance to peer out and visit me,
Tho not but for a moment, only to retreat once again into
the corridors of your world.

I come back, day after day, year after year
to sit and wait once more.

Through the winters of your sorrow, I listened intently.
Through the Summers of your joy, my heart smiled.
Through the Autumn of your yesterdays, I remembered and
the Springtime of your tomorrows, I wait.

Through every season of your life I have waited.
Just beyond the towering walls of your heart.

Bittersweet Sorrow

With the setting of the sun and the misty night air
lingering on my bare skin,I breath and take in
the warmth of the summer.

A sigh of regret fills the silent world around me.
My thoughts scatter in every direction,as I try
to gather the pieces of my heart.

Stillness engulfs me all at once,
as the crickets chime in with a melodious song.
A soft breeze touches my face,I close my eyes
and feel you near.

The stars glimmer in the sky above,
a bittersweet taste crosses my lips as I
wipe the sorrow from my eyes,
only to await its return.

Broken

I lay in darkness to rest,
thoughts swirl in my mind like pages of well read book.I wait for an answer to the questions of the heart,dreaming of your face.How does one shut the door,the passageway to the deepest depths of their being.

How does one move forward when all the while looking back.

I ponder my existence.

How do I pick up the broken shards of
this failed love yet again.

I fear to touch it,for I will bleed if I am cut once more...,but alas! I take it into my hands and cradle it as tho it were a new born child, scrapping and cutting my fingers till the life blood runs down me in a river of tears,
An echo of sorrow pierces the silence that has consumed me.The daunting breath of my own sweet horror.

Dawn rises in spite of me.I feel her as tho she laughs,taunting me to face another day.

How cruel is the day.
How lonely the night I am faced with.
I wish to slumber,never to wake to this hatred I feel in the bottomless pit of my heart.
How dare the sun rise.
How dare I go on day to day with you haunting my very essence.

Where,if any shall I run to escape this endless rapture of my soul.When will the final curtain be drawn on a raggedy stage of lost dreams and plays never to be performed.

I can not turn to run, for you are in every direction, I dare not dream, for it is your face I see but,to wake and be parted from you is endless dis pare and regret.

Take the heart of me that I should not bear this burden, Take it from my chest and toss it to the wolves so that they may feast upon my misery.Take the life's breath from my lungs to bore away the sorrow and the madness I am compelled to.

Take it... and leave me rest.

Before you

Empty tears were all I had,
for years I cried a river of pain.
Lonely nights and a restless soul,
but all before you came,
and brought a smile of happiness
into my life.
