Words mean nothing anymore
Crossing the lips of lesser beings
Flowing forth restlessly
Shattering the second wave
Oceans of time standing still
Waiting for a chance to escape
Escaping that deep, heavy breath
Breathing for once
Free again to search
Seeking for life
A Life to live
To be what I am
Breaking bonds
Binding the thought
Thoughts flowing effortlessly
Sliding through resistance
Walls crumbling before logic
Doubts fleeing before reason
Reasoning with my inner soul
Spirit to mind
Logic to love
Spurred into recollection
Remembrance
Memories best left alone
Lost in the tides of my restoration
Restoration to life
Living again
For me
For her
Forever

Thinking back to that day
I see we have come so far
So much closer to time
So much further from ourselves

From the words I spoke then
To the words ever silenced
For the hours past
For the years that may become

Our lives

Our lives
Intertwined in that fiend we call time
The eluder of capture
The immortal gatekeeper

Passing us by in river of confusion
Draining an ocean of possibilities
As each second ticks away
On the clock of our fate

Dreams fading as we walk
Our paths diverging
Crossing into ethereal skies
Cast into the night

Light fades as days draw closer
Closing in on finality
The end to all dreams
The beginning of rest

I awake

I awake to your voice
Calling after my name
Sleepily I answer
Stretching forth my arms

Reaching forward to grasp
To hold your fingers in mine
Realizing you were there
Always.

Pursuing his leaves the bandit pounces
White and black in tow
A lovely bloke just the same
As far as pandas go

His coat is soft
His ears are warm
He smiles oft
Into the storm

A shaky leaf
A village bamboo
A little brief
What’s a bear to do

He runs away
Flees tonight
Back someday
Another fight

Till then we must bid farewell
Until another tale he will tell.

Let me be free
Free to live
To laugh
To cry
To breathe
To sigh
Freedom to live
Or even die
Free to walk beside you
Or to run away
I want to choose
To live my life
Not yours.

Words can not express
The feel of your caress
Across my broken life

Everything is worthless
When you are here
Cuddled by my side

Whenever I see you
Time seems to stall
Fading out like broken lamps

You wipe away all that was
I forget my worries
All my fears wash away

Life becomes livable
Knowing you are there
Just a time away

I reach out my hand
Just to let you go
To see you leave

Now you are there
Far away from sight
Yet never closer

To my heart.

As I type this I wonder why
My fingers are in pain and my back aches
I drive off the light

Staring into the dark
The pixels in my screen burn quietly
Imprinting their stories upon my eyes

Glancing away I see the cars pass
Slipping across the horizon
Sunset long gone

The crickets chirping
The silence inside conflicting
With their symphony of sound

I ponder upon the week
All it doth contain
Pain, elation, guilt, fear

The feeling pour out
Like sand in a broken hourglass
Ticking away precious time

Life slipping away as I am.
Failing to live as I die.
Out of time

Walking blindly
Reaching for support
Never grasping

Hearts floats gently away
Carried off by autumn breeze
Like leaves in the sky

My love has left me
Cast off for distant shore
Leaving me once more

Farewell, I cried
As you climbed up
Waiting for the end

Now you’re gone
Departed
With my inspiration.

Butterflies floating gently on autumn leaves
Sunlight streams through darkened sky
Life, once blooming fades
Cast into the lie

I hear the sweet words calling
Lost among the waves
Once we were kings
Now we’re only slaves

Autumn was our love
Now she is our death
From our waking reason
To our final breath

The breath we breath is silent
Heard amongst the ill
We’ve lost the bet, the triumph
Even lost our will

She was our faithful queen
Now cheated we’ve forgot
The life we used to have
The words decay and rot

The night grows ever darker
Our shadows lost in gloom
Amongst the angry spirits
That seal to us our doom

Our final words were never spoken
For our hearts, forever broken.

Fading into the vacant space of time I falter
Falling into the sunlit valley I wake
Tossing and turning in the night
Dreaming endlessly of naught

Fearing that final breath I run
Casting off my pride
Swimming through that awful stench
Wading across that tide

Waiting for you I wonder
Pondering that thought
Thinking about promises
Promising nothing more

Running I falter
Faltering I fall
Displacing replaced submissions
Submitting to darkness

Sleeping I lie awake
Staring in the night
Searching ever
For that thought.

Night
I see you there
Falling into the mist

The clouds blur our connections
Tears fall gently
As footsteps grow distant

Farewell my love
My dear friend
My laughter in sorrowed times

Fare thee well
In far off lands
Luck to all your deeds

I shall stay to reminisce
To tell them of the tale
To mourn

Away with thee
Go
Leave

I meant stay
Please
Just this once

Find the time to be here
By my side
Waiting

Wishing for something better
Striving to change
To enlighten

I wonder
Can you?
Alas, no

That time has passed
Wasted on unwilling minds
Cast to unwanted ages

Left out in the desolation
Unwanted
Forgotten by all

How can you stay?
After those words
What words?

All’s well
I shall see you again.
Laughter

I see your face

Questions asked in recollection of reminiscence
Thinking about wondering about you
The simplistic complex emotions
Pouring slowly from restless fingers

Striking here and there I feel
Telling the world in silence
Writing in stone
That which is lost

Time is our enemy
Flowing briskly around us
Tossing us here and there
Making fun of our dreams

Our wishes lie in ashes
Buried deep
In the soot of our transgressions
Smoldering quietly

Look to the stars
Archaic voices silenced by distance
Smileing peacefully in a wicked world
Ancient cynics of long past

Oceans lie in waste
Waiting for life
Laughing and choking
Struggling for breath

It hurts
Staring at the world blindly
Turning a deaf ear
Becoming numb to the sickness

Immune to the sights
Begging to be heard
Ignoring the sounds
Begging to be seen

Why?
Why must they fight so?
Is it inspiration?
Or just a base instinct?

What is to be gained
From pursuing an impossible endeavor
For chasing a restless dream
For finding a hidden fault?

Nothing
One might declare
Illogical hunting for reason
Logic sought in feeling

Feelings felt by all
Striking endlessly on a broken keyboard.
