Certainty

The highest high
Comes crashing low
Sweeping froth
Runs to and fro
Washing away
Sweet memory
Making heard
What goes unseen
Erodes away
All certainty
Makes one grasp
For happy dreams
A current rife
With bitterness
The screaming wind
Full of regret
This force will not
Just go away
Gnashing waves
Are full of hate
Digging claws
Rip and tear
A thing which is
Not even there
Fingers grasp
So desperately
Reaching for
A place to sing
Space to spread out
A giggling stream
A current soft
With happy things
A place to rest
To heal the wounds
Left behind by
Pull of the moon
Gravity's sway
Tapers off
Leaving space
For higher thought
A buoyed line
A sign of hope
There's always time
Grasp that rope
Escape the current
Fight it off
Make it worth
Time now lost
Sun will shine
Glitter on sea
Brighten the day
Brings certainty

Coincidence

Coincidence
A funny thing
Coincidence
Don't mean a thing

A river's crossing
A spark of flame
A lightning strike
They're all the same

The only difference:
Opportunity.
Ignore coincidence
Or find the key

A chance is out there
Just open your eyes
Grasp that thread
Won't know til tried

Life: an ever-changing
Whirlwind of days
Don't try to control it
Get out of it's way

Take the chance
Ride the stream
Mold coincidence
Fondest of dreams

Let It Go

Let it go
It's not for you
Let it go
Find something new

Shake it off
For something more
Move on past
This closed door

Break the glass
Fly through the pane
Outside the walls
Wide open plains

Sun on hills
Brings a promise
Something that
Leaves all astonished

Patience brings
New sights to see
A thing which sets
The fire free

Fortune

Waiting for something,
to jump out at me.
Break open the shadows -
set passion free.

Why isn't it coming?
I swear it's right there.
I can sense a bright light;
it's blinding my fear.

I feel it coming,
on the tip of my tongue.
Something is brewing:
the most beautiful song.

With patience I'm sure
my heart will not stop.
Knowing fortune, then something
will land in my lap.

Fuck You

Fuck you.
And fuck you.
And FUCK you,
and you too!

All of you fuckers
belong in a zoo.
Animals,
the lot of you.

You're reckless,
thoughtless,
unkind, and
plain rude.

All you sharks do,
is swim in shit
and make my cork
come unglued

Insensitive,
ungrateful,
greedy,
and lewd.

The only thing
you twats
deserve is to
be screwed.

Fuck you.

Make Me Feel Full

I cannot sleep,
My mind is full.
What keeps it up,
I do not know.
Some sadness grips me,
It won't let go.
It won't tell me it's secrets,
Won't let me feel whole.
I just want to reach out,
For what I'm not sure.
Can I just have something,
That makes me feel full?

Patience

I am mostly very patient
I am not that way with love
My heart is desperate to be spent
On spirit to fill my cup

I miss being held in someone's arms
The scent of bodies close
Forget existence of what does harm
No longer feel exposed

I just have too much passion
For my own damn good
I can't even imagine
Someone who understood

Perhaps one day I'll find a
Person who makes me stir
Someone who dances in my flame
A love that needs no lure

Patience now, I keep in mind
Move on past the present
With bright, wide open eyes
I'll persist in my resilience

Enigmatic

You are somewhat enigmatic,
And I'm curious to know:
What is there inside of you?
Why do you hide your glow?

I think I'd like to find out,
Who you really are.
There's wonder hidden underneath -
I sense it from your heart.

And if I meet something too real,
Will I feel exposed?
What will I do if I find hell,
Behind the doors now closed?

If I reach out and take your hand,
And all it brings is pain,
Will I survive that wrath again?
You see why I'm afraid?

Despite all of my worries,
There's a part of me that stirs.
I dare to say it's worth the risk,
In quest for some thing more.

I don't want to fear for feel of love,
So try I will to seek the flame.
To reach through someone else's soul,
Is an act that holds no shame.

Something Beautiful

Something beautiful
My way did walk.
A figure so graceful,
My heart beat did stop.

Warm summer sunshine
Danced in the air -
A shimmer, a glimmer,
Of something so rare.

A hand that stretched out
For eternity,
Trying to reach;
To set the soul free.

Something beautiful,
It shivers, it sparks,
It glistens, it trembles,
It instigates art.

The glow of the stars
Will pale when compared
To anything given;
A happiness shared.

Through the Door

At times I wonder if I'll ever just
be okay.
Will there come a day I'll be able to
wake unafraid?
Some days I'm scared to just walk
through the door.
Something's burning inside me I
cannot ignore.

My bones do not ache.
My heart is not weak.
My blood's not impure.
Just can't walk
  through the door.

The world outside scares me,
I have to admit.
There's evil in people -
There's wickedness; sin.

Any step taken forward
is riddled with knots.
Sometimes survival seems
to be a long shot.

But stand up and walk through
every day I must do.
Don the customary mask -
hide my face when I'm blue.

Embrace this dark world,
remember it's grace.
Remember that evil
lurks not behind every face.

The sun always peeks out
on the tail of a storm,
creating a rainbow
that helps me walk
  through the door.
