Sometimes it’s not in the reading
But the in the hearing and seeing
That we find the beauty of poetry
Sometimes we forget their power
The world of words loses its’ way
Loses its’ sway to say what it must say
But when a new voice is given
The power resurfaces
When we hear the subtle tremors
The violent vibrations
The elevation of poetry is remembered
Like a long lost love
Finding old passions re-inflamed
The poetry is restored to its’ golden glory again

Night hands drenched in metal
Rings in the heart of desire
Dragons love more than you
With cold gleaming talons
Burn the coal along my fur
Humble hearts this eve

Singe

Whining sights stared
Claim three fears
Chaos gently cleared the fake
Breaking wrists haunt my strength
Lonely lives tonight

Creak

Hear last howls melt
Longer than my heart falls
Lying skin and deceiving souls
Rake your worst upon my soft side
Nash your steel teeth into my muzzle
Tell me I'm worthless
Pathetic
Useless

Don't you think
I already know what I'm worth?
Pretend that you've written something golden
I have no true value

The setting sun is already gone
Tomorrow it will come again
But when you leave like that
I never know if it's the end

Nothing that changes is mine
I tried to keep it but now nobody can
But what happens next is you
And what happens to me is your plan

I can't think like that anymore
You want to talk small
But what I said yesterday
Was more than saying that's all

It was a nice day once
Like a child playing on swings
But what I see in you anymore
Is a child playing with my strings

A new face emerges bearing the name of a familiar flower
A soul unlike any other
One I swear I'd seen in a fantasy
A vision of a brighter day
We chase the same dream
While dancing through the same hardships

Our greedy worlds take most of our time
Just so we can a way to get by
Until a better dawn arises

In the time that passes till that day
I long to see her face
We speak in our freedoms
Trying to piece together a painting of the future
When the stroke of each brush are worlds apart

It almost feel like I've made contact with another world
Yet the distance isn't so far
With each word
A more beautiful woman appears from the heavens

I thought I felt something like this before
But this is something new
And driving me to insanity
The summer winds push my head further into the clouds
The world already knew my words
But she brings out more that lay dormant inside me

Words in poems
Notes from my old guitar
Entire new stories to piece together a new world
It all is emerging with each heartbeat I spend with her on my mind
Yet she seems worlds away

The starlight in the heavens at night give me hope
For a way to better target my path to take
She may be worlds away
But I've always wanted to travel through space

This is new for me
To want to meet someone this much
At this point
I would not care what she looks like
Because with just a few words she was already the most beautiful to me

This is new
This is rare
This is something extraordinary.

He is a delicateness
a tender beautiful mess
He is the softness of
the papers of an old book
He is that forgotten wetness
of shy kissed lips
He is that sudden leap in her heart
when she smells rain
He is all those tiny things
unseen and untouched
Believe me he is
all that I have touched and cherished.

He is the emptiness
of a broken summer's moon.
Believe me he is.
