That defiant look of hers

Keeps your wants ablaze.

If she looks at you with love,

The wants will blur into the faintest haze.

–

Kiss her goodbye today

Before you can’t tomorrow,

When the kindness of your ways

Dry and crumble her into sorrow.

–

Sway to music now,

Don’t wait, for it may fade,

Or change from rhyming glow

To cuts of the bluntest blade.

–

Stare into the twilight

As the sun bids you farewell.

Wonder if you will see it again

Or if you are now at the gates of hell.

–

“Find the beauty within,” they said,

But it’s too dark inside to see.

Is it hiding in the shadows?

Or is darkness truly me?

–

Once a soft, loving touch,

Turned lethal in a single breath.

Retreat into your darkness before

All you touch turns to death.

–

Battles fought and lost,

Hopes dry and sadly wither.

Who are you fighting for?

Is it even worth the bother?

–

He is the clarity that diffuses the chaos;

The deep breath that eases the soul…

He is the inner volcano of anger that erupts

And eats up my sanity whole…

–

Thought I said goodbye that day

When I raised my hands to the sky,

Thought I buried a hatchet,

But that thorn is still in my side…

–

Memories that make you cringe, though they should make you smile,

As they remind you of special moments that, once, seemed worthwhile.

Today, they simply prove you were a naive fool

For ever believing life was anything else but cruel…

–

My savior is my murderer is my weapon,

My sanity is my madness and my vision,

He brings out the worst, the best and the in between in me…

I hate him and I love him in unison…

–

I look for your face wherever I go,

Craving for the peace you bring.

I find you, I relish, then fall apart

For the peace you bring is my suffering…

–

Their union was blessed by the people,

But not by divinity…

They came together for all the “right” reasons;

For sanity and objectivity…

–

I know exactly how you are feeling,

I know what you are looking for…

I understand that you are yearning

For an understanding soul…

–

A distant look from sad eyes;

A world full of pain and lies;

A heart that always, always cries;

With all its agony, it slowly dies…

–

Questions left unasked,

Thoughts left unshared,

Kisses left hanging in mid-air

As though neither one of us ever cared…

–

Words on a screen;

How true can they be?

As true as truth itself

Or as fake as this smile that I see…
