Poetry

Up and up and up, Slowly. Suddenly, we race down, Towards the ground, Through loops and unexpected turns. All my life I have been on this ride, Never able to get off. After so many years of being used, The rollercoaster is falling apart. There has been no chance for maintenance. So many take advantage of the ride, Claiming they love it, But then easily bored. It seems so easy to unlatch their harness. I want off the never ending cycle. I'm afraid it will break and I'll still be on it. How will I survive when it finally falls down? So long I've been locked in this seat, Only to realize I am that rollercoaster. There is no escape. I don't know how to slow the ride down, Control the twists and turns, But somehow, I can do it. Somehow, I will do it.

Tomorrow is a distant memory compared to his touch, Heat flows like fire in my veins. Its warmth initiates the end, The end of darkness, Of rain, Of the neverending fear of rejection. Home is in the walnut coffee of his eyes. Comforts can be found throughout the universe but none the same as the look in his deepest moment. I would see the world's demise for his smile. His laughter creates the energy from which my heart beats. Time literally has no meaning. Seasons change, Years go by. But my love is unyielding. Despite the ways of others, We are stronger, together. Nothing could mean more. Take me home, never let me go. So I can be lost forever In the comfort of your love.

Open your eyes For the new day. You have been blessed With the gift of life. It may seem a burden If you don't open your mind. The world has so much to offer. Nothing is black and white. So embrace the bad. Good things are bound to them.

Gazing at the sunset.

Smoke twirling around me.

Gently, the leaves fall.

One by one.

Bidding good-bye to the trees.

Limbs almost bare.

The leaves, dead.

Yet, I can not feel sadnesss.

Everything is so perfect, in this moment.

Mildly chilly,

As I take another drag,

Watching Nature's gift to me.

Wondering,

How did I get so lucky,

To have the perfect birthday present,

Handed to me by Mother Nature personally?

I don't want it to snow.

Fuck!

That which weeps the heart cannot be brushed aside

Cold and lone are the days of now.

Longing tugging at my heart when I dream of you.

No place else will do other than your arms.

Awful eyes staring at my soul.

Aching for my love of demons in the past.

Feelings which have subsided into oblivion.

Your embrace, a new world holds true.

No more pain and no more rage of monsters holding me back.

These feelings are tied to you as I, myself, am tied.

Nothing shall change how this is.

Your love is my world now.

And my heart is your heart now, love.

Hold it tightly and cherish its dull glow.

For it will brighten in the days to come.

As long as your heart beats softly next to mine.

Doors opening.

Closing.

That notebook,

Canvas for my words.

Smoke twisting and twirling.

A fire ablaze.

An epiphany in my soul.

My brain.

My heart.

Equaling the balance in reliability.

Searching for my best friend.

Wondering,

Will you be my inspiration?

Up, up, up.

Up, step, up.

Floating above the blue,

The dark, the useless.

Feeling bright,

Brighter than ever before.

Hands reaching up high,

Where dreams lie.

As with the wind,

We change.

Always holding on to each other.

Sharing the lessons we've learned in life.

Hating the rest of the world,

We strengthen each other.

Hand in hand,

We fight our battles.

And when the trees grow,

We copy.

Seeing the world from higher perspectives,

Our hearts intertwined,

Branded with each other's blood.

A bond stronger than all.

Nothing means more to me.

Together we'll fight this separation,

That grows with time.

With an undying love laced with fear,

The clock becomes a constant reminder of a time bomb,

To destroy her heart as the minutes tick by.

Fueled by her desire to be in your arms,

She prays for time to freeze.

For just one more moment with you,

Uncertain of the future,

She grasps her burning heart.

Each minute cherished before reality ruins fantasy.

Every moment spent with you converted to memory,

As the sun brings the explosion of Tomorrow.
