Beginning

Beginning

Less Dreaming,
More Creating
Always an ink stained world
Your dreams of escape
Self made nightmares
Every ray of light chased out by the shadows
Tell me of your broken soul
Of the release so desperately awaited
Let me take in your words
Sweep up the pieces of yourself
Place them in the garden of the mind
Open the shades for a glimmer of golden hope
Stop this cycle of self inflicted mutilation
Warm yourself in the sun
Let me help you stand
Take strength from the faith I have in you
Beauty suffers, but should never cry defeat
So, from the depths of your pain
Let the crimson bleed away
Leave a white dove
A new beginning
Of self creation

She Can't Like Me ( A Different Write For Me :)

She Can't Like Me ( A Different Write For Me :)

Go ahead, buy her that fruity drink
Her long blond hair flowing and yet
You can't see her like most do
In this soft Sunset

She is known by many
To walk with many guys
Oh but she can't shoot Patron
Like I can, in this setting of Paradise

Maybe it's the country girl in me
The one who loves you with my all
Hell yeah I can shoot Tequila
Under Tropical waterfalls, ya'all

So go ahead, walk with her
On this Beach tonight
I will make you see now
It is me you will want with all your might

The Rain begins, just spurs me on
Determination in my heart and mind
Oh I see you are buying her more fruity drinks
Another shot of Patron, and I will be just fine

This Island was not meant
For one as delicate acting as she
It is meant for kicking it up
And she can't do it like me

I see you there, watching me
I see the look in your eyes
Even the crashing Ocean can't
Your want of me disguise

Now here you are by my side
Telling me how you have missed me so
Well sweetie, go buy her another fruity drink
Yee Haw, me and my Patron have to go!

From Depths

From Depths

She gazes as the silence is
Her only companion it seems
Through these darkened, lonely nights
When nightmares are the only dreams

Wakened by sweat drenched screams once more
No one else can hear
Stay awake now, she tells herself
No want to once again face fear

In stifeled screams and sobs
Her mind tries to busy itself
To forget the long, dark moments
Though not enough books on the shelf

The thoughts begins to replace
The bitter tears again and now
The deep anger settles in once more
Begging for revenge somehow

Knowing it is not within herself
To inflict pain as it was done to her
Though she wonders how it would feel
To avenge herself, as it were

Pushing thoughts that feel so good
Aside for she knows to well
She could cause unbearable pain
Then watch as they suffered, all they made her feel

Looking out now through the window
Frantically searching the heavens afar
Seeking some kind of peace now maybe
Within one small twinkling star

Oh! The intensity of the star
She holds her breath now, with some delight
How it can transport her thoughts away so far
As she goes on alone gazing, through the night.....
