A dark secret

I could see her shallow cheek bones above the water, her nose barely able to get air. Her black swimsuit swarmed around her, floating in the water, almost like she had taken it off. Her eyes looked at me, feigning malice and she floated toward my spot on the wall, grabbing my feet and pulling. I let myself fall in, then go under, my frown returning. She came underwater giggling and kisses my cheek and surfaces, waiting for me to come up. I let my vision go black, waiting for something else to claim me, then I wake up. She is there at the foot of my bed, but much older, a look of worry on her face, a man is there with her, his arm around her shoulders just like I used to do.

Break-up

There they were again, sitting at the table, the broken couple long gone. Almost a month has gone by, still they sit and wonder if the other person can actually see what they’re feeling, and the boy know’s she’s unable to, he knows her better than she does him. Then they go home, and just wait til the day they never see each other again.

A Log Cabin Burns

BOOM! I always loved the sound of thunder, shaking my house right to the foundations. CRASH! The pellets on the roof creating a sense of peace within me. BANG! That was the closest one so far, but fear was not yet settling in, for I still had my TV. BOOM! Now the power was out, I scurried, hurrying to light candles before another bolt struck my home. BANG! I smelled fire, I ran to check the stove, then ran to the back where my cupboard was. CRASH-BANG! The next thing I knew I was running out of my beloved home, fearing for my life, the light was everywhere, I could feel the electricity in the air. CRACKLE-BOOM-BANG! I ran to my truck and drove, tears rolling down my cheeks as I watched my childhood home burn from the rear view mirror.

The Puzzle of Me

So much inspiration

So little time to spare

So much shame, no regrets

Too much to even bear

Domestication of the interrogated

That we don't even know.

Bestiality 

Tranquility

Forcing yourself to lie

An unknown force

That made you believe

You shouldn't be alive.

Soulless, forgotten

Combusting at the seams

Finally letting go

Of what I couldn't be.

Get inside my head

Read my mind

How much easier would it be?

You strive for independence

While I just want to be free.

The demon I've had inside me

Finally breaking free

Purge me of my broken heart

My iron defenses creating a false image

Of something that isn't me.

Put the puzzle together

Figure it all out.

No mistakes to make

Not even a shred of doubt

Unlock the secrets

Of heaven and hell

Whatever you want to believe

Deny yourself easy access

To the dark reds and the greens

Understanding indefinitely

Intertwining of the souls

Reactions of power

Concentrated emotion

All of this

Perfect hints

To help you understand

To help you put together

The puzzle pieces 

Of exactly what I am

Because your guess

Is just as good as mine.

Regardless, trap that love

Before you let it go

And I'll trap mine

Then this hate will be no more.

Feeling Alone

Emotion is for the weak

But it's a powerful tool for most

Use it correctly and get yourself far

You've no idea when we'll meet our host

Emotion is unpredictable

When will it strike again?

It's always there

And always will be

But it's a burden that puts us through hell.

Emotion is for the caring

Whether you care too much or too little

Emotion will be your bearing

But it will also be your worst nightmare

Attacking you from every angle

Relentless beatings, precise stabbings

It'll feel like your skull might explode.

But this only happens when you're forgotten. Alone.

And there's no one else but the bone of your own.

 Rain on The Roof

Patter patter patter

The sound of rain on the roof

Or so you think

Patter patter patter

Millions of foot steps

Of millions of lost souls

Travelling along a broken road

Patter patter patter

You hear them cry

Lost, forgotten, speechless

Ready to die

Sigh, gasp cries

The mourning sounds

Of the forgotten,

The sounds we forget to hear

Patter... patter... patter

Time slows down

As they find each other

Realizing they're all the same.

Hearts cross, arms lock

Forever together, never alone

Similarities bring them together

Solitude, no longer a home

Patter, patter, patter

They reach their destination

Ready for recognition

Their pattering feet, pattering no more.

Evil

The salt of fears

The salt that burns

The wound for years

But keep the salt

Face the pain

Just like you faced

Your fears one day.

Once upon a time

On a fateful day

A grain of salt

Came into play

An evil grain

That sought to build

A larger wound
Than could be healed

But the sugar of trust

Fought it for years

The evil salt

That came from fear

The clash of pride

A battle in hell

Oppression from one

Revolution from the other

The spirits rose

As brother fought brother

Blood fell

Stinging the ground

As sugar fought harder

Gaining the ounce.

Salt fell off his throne

Fallen down through

His broken home

No longer a bother

To sugar and his dome

There was no left

No fear to feed the salt

No more hatred

Not even a seed

As trust grew his kingdom

His walls and all,

Teaching his subjects

The secrets to love

No more evil resided

Not even a grain of salt.
