Endangered

They walked across golden paths
marching towards a tunnel
with no end
Seeking a triumph not to be found
their intent is scarred with need
to pretend

One step
Two step
Three step

With lack of any resistance
through this mapless journey
they went
In this childless vast land
they found no cause
to lament

One step
Two step
Three step

A pool of raw liquid tranquility
found was the object of their
determined rage
Proceeding with swords in hand
they ruptured the liquid in their
frenzied craze

One step
Two step
Three step

Slain lay the colorless beast
the bane water rippling
as it fell
Gone was the mirror
through which they could
see themselves

Pact With A Hurricane

There might be a time
When you tire of sweet words
At such a time I will be happy
With insults from you
All I ask is that
You keep some attention on me
And for this difficult request
I shall take away all
What I need
What I have
What I dream of
All that keeps me from you

Count to Three

Paper cuts scissors? Scissors cut paper?

Wrapped around a rock

Impoverished ink bleeding on wood

Clandestine rage seen by the blind

Forced benevolence wet tears

Souls jerked by gripped volcanoes

Where the grass of affection cannot grow

Paper cuts scissors? Scissors cut paper?

Wrapped around a rock

Stabbed is the joy of proclamation

Buried under the fire of jealousy

Majestic beneath a thorn crown

From which no flower will ever bloom

An open wound preserved in an ice cage

Paper cuts scissors? Scissors cut paper?

Wrapped around a rock

Thrown to the realm of the forgotten

Only to unfurl in innocent dreams

Shaken by a single ray of light

Scorching an already gray tolerance

To occupy long endured humility

Paper cuts scissors? Scissors cut paper?

Wrapped around a heart

Outrunning The Sun

Interrupted by time
How will I ever know
What can become mine?
Sunk in seas of deception
That defies my perception
Committing all my trust
Trying to find an exit
Not a want but a must
Light between your hands
Showing me serenity
The way only you can

Dashed

Bending a cause of resurrection
Demolished barriers of my vicinity
Complicating all of my submission
Unveil hidden spiritless fears
Smothering to subdue reaction
On my knees I bend before you
Murdering pride for exhaustion
Inside a pleasurable predicament
All but screaming for attention
To lie here beneath the stones
Built by hands in elation
Kill the messenger in speech
Before the death of your persuasion
Live to be enacted upon
From you there is no evasion
Beg for cried mercy in your soul
If from such sin there is absolution
For i've been wounded by a hand
I cannot bear to see a wound in
