Eagerly Searching Beyond Its Time

I grew up in my early years

Wise beyond my years

No need to gain my own knowledge

 

But mother nature,

The shrewd teacher that she is

Feld I could use a refresher

 

Sometimes I hide behind my youth

Light and carefree

Blending into the crowd

 

But in a blink of an eye

I aged ten years

The shadow falls on my face

 

Trapped in earthly bonds

As my inner eye flies ahead

 

In Chains From Birth to Death

We are prisoners of time

Made of ticks and tocks

Bound under a crystalline face

 

Each morning we beg our master to wake us

Angry still when he does

Yet each day we fall on our knees

 

We subject ourselves to his whim

In exchange for a few minutes of sunshine

We deprive ourselves

 

This master is not of nature

For birds don’t heed his presence

Yet still we flock to him

 

Although we lament our misfortune

We’d be lost in our forward motion

 

To Burn away the Fog

This ridiculas thing called love

A morass

 

On one side a familiar light

But drawing near it dims

 

Another one I hated and ignored

Not it shines brighter,

But it sits within a cage, unattainable

 

A new light appears

Behind it a mystery hides

 

A few candle tips flicker in the breeze

Not strong enough to follow

 

Perhaps a new star is needed

Instead I Turn and Run

I say I’m over it

As I walk away

When really I’m lieing

 

I held to that desperate dream

As you cease to care

Foolish little girl

 

Here and now my foot stomps

I hope my heart to someone else

Even if I only find silence

 

Enough of this resent full dance

Enough of shattered futures

Enough of awkward silences

 

No prolonged goodbyes

 

 

 

The Echoes of Lost Love

A single though haunts my mind

Frightening me to the bone

Calling open the gruesome past

 

A beast looming over me

Snarling from dark corners

Rearing its ugly head when least expected

 

Soon others notice this towering monster

Comments on its appearance

Some call for its life, others death

 

Unfed and ignored

The creature begins to shrivel up and die

Desperate for the light

 

It recedes into icy tombs

 

Flirting without action till the end of time

 

Too many thoughts to put on paper

How quickly by they fly

 

Yet your name stands out

 

Each time I grab my pen

It’s you I want to write about

 

In the dark

It’s my hand you seek

 

An unspoken agreement

 

Although nothings set in stone

I hope you make the move

 

Or perhaps we’ll live

In this endless purgatory

 

A Smoky Pillar of Noise

We both are trying

Practically running the other way

Swearing up and down the negative

                               

But as we step away

Begin to warm up elsewhere

Affirm our separation

 

That’s when the universe hits

Inevitably falling together

Hit over the head by fate

 

As the cosmos spin about us

There you stand, still,

 

To Turn on the Light

Still as I turn away

Your reach out towards me

I am baffled by you

 

Again we teeter

Between tempting fate

And oblivion

 

Warm glances hidden by cool shoulders

Coquetry buried under school work

Subtle brushes in the crowds

 

More in love with you I fall each day

Although this I always will deny

We keep our dance in the shadows

 

Although time is running short

We are offered one last chance
