Begins with dawn
Time passes, life goes on
‘Til dusk. Repeat.

A Charm for Friendship
One person seeking solace
From the pain that befalls us
One person waiting with open arms
Minus the fear of harm
Equals one bond
Created from a friendship so strong.
Psyche
A beauty so hypnotic
Poses danger to your existence,
Unless it captures
The attention of a god.
He was so willing to rescue you
You spoiled girl,
He gave you riches
And lavish love.
He saved your life
But you still wanted more.
You lost him
You lustful lover,
Prove you love him
And maybe he’ll forgive you.
Prove you love him
And maybe you can have him back.
You’ve done all there was to do,
But even if you think the competition is over,
You’ll never win this battle
For the green-eyed monster
Is your mother-in-law.

Spirit of the Valley
Subdue the hills
To rid the obscene obstructed view
And see the valleys
Flourishing with life
Dancing in the wind
Like spirits.
Dancing on the Edge
Standing on the balcony ledge,
You surprise me with a kiss.
This is where we begin to dance on the edge
Because if you leave, everything about you I will miss.
Like the way you catch my eye
And tell me you love me
In such ways that make me sigh
And hope forever yours I’ll be.
Or the way you laugh at things I say
And how you make sure I’m comfortable when we lie
Side by side while our elbows touch.
The only thing I need to know
Is exactly how much
You love me and when it will show.
But all we have is now-
As the curtains are closing, we take our bow.
Siren
Flowing red hair
Catching light
Catching fire
Long wavy tendrils
Caressing her body
Like the desire of your hands.
You hear her-
Her voice a cage
Surrounding you
Holding you captive
As you listen to the tune in her voice
Your ankles are shackled
The hum in her throat
Your hands are bound.
She sings her song
And your soul is hers.
Mirrors
Don’t look.
Just walk right by-
Quickly
Before your eyes lock
On the reflection
That isn’t yours.
She looks like you,
But she’s grinning a toothy smile
While your lips are pressed tight.
Her gaze holds you-
And before you know it
You’re leaning closer…
Hands reach out from the glass
Grab you
Force your head to make impact with the mirror-
Shattering
Rings in your ears as
Your
World
Crashes
Down
Around
You…
I Shall Follow
Walking miles in their shoes-
No shoes…
Soleless Souls
Traversing treacherous terrains.
No haven in view,
But we keep walking-
I keep walking
Despite blisters brimming with blood.
Regardless of where you’re heading
I shall follow.
Dependency
Loss of reliability
Feeling of inadequacy
Suffering emotional instability
For this lack of reality
From this chemical dependency.
Destiny
I wished upon a star
For a dream that felt so far
It could never be in reach
Until the atmosphere was breached.
That shooting star, it fell
My anxiety was quelled
As the stars revealed destiny
And showed that we were meant to be.
