Neither darkness
Nor silence
Is intolerable
Lest they be united

I woke up still dreaming,
A silly little seeming.
I dropped a cup upon your door,
And your mom to my wonder, beckoned me forth.

She asked questions I must confess,
My mind remembers not but my heart craves, even at rest.
She smiled down knowingly,
and in that, Moment, greedily,
My mind played tricks to give me reason
To find you again, to beckon forth
As if I was ever a prince. And you anything but, a nevermore.

Oh, such, poison, sickly sweet,
In those hazel eyes, and bountiful *****,
In your perfect hair and perfect smile,
That in my dreams a stranger convinces me, it's worth a while.

Oh, broken heart, still beating,
That even yet still needing,
Something from days best forgot,
From traumas that still burn hot.
Go away, I say. Find a new devil to ache.
Nay, nay. Nay.

Ah am I more scared to remember, or more afraid to forget?
And I may never find a lover, not one that's here,
I only look in the distance now.
She's the only one who can get near.
Just me and my regret.
Still just you. My Amanda Dear.
Nights like tonight are the hardest;
Clear bluish black skies-
the deepest velvet cradling the full moon...
These nights are hardest, because I
still remember her silhouette
in silvery moonlight; My angel,
my darling, sleeping peacefully
as I cradle her close...
A dream come true, but now-
just a dream; One borne of
clear bluish black skies-
the deepest velvet cradling the full moon...
Nights like tonight are the hardest.
Lost between the moon and New York city...
Both in love with
And drowning in
Words

They are freedom
Salvation
And the most advance weaponry

Words are powerful
Able to heal old wounds
And rend flesh from the heart

Each a line a thread
Or a tear
In the fabric of life

Able to inflict
Mortal wounds
With one lash

Able to imbue
Peace
In a tone

Unlimited hues
Of unlimited descriptions
Words paint the best pictures

Both in love with
And drowning in
Words

I've got vines for my veins and roots for my laces
Leaves for my hair that hangs over empty eyes, graceless
It's coming from up under my branches
All this air could've been wasted on dead faces

Tell me what you're thinking
Put it into words for my inkling
Tickle me with jokes
But watch out for my ribbing

Power only consumes
But love it always feeds you
And I love it
When you breeze through

And I'm moving
To windy grooving
As you sing me
All your favorite musing

So baby won't you cut me
Down but don't you burn me
Wear me as a locket
Don't you ever lose me

Or I'll lose me
I'm not really sure.
A last breath exhales slowly
Dancing away on a lost promise
Over forests of almosts
And oceans of tears, lost
Until, it slows, and floats
Remaining next to the one
It once called home
And remains in its eternal slumber
Resting gently and peacefully
Until the other, too, takes its
Last exhale
And the two are United
Somewhere.
Am waiting for a courageous mind
who'll place her head on my chest
listen to my beating heart and hear
every truth embedded in each beat
Am waiting for a big caring heart
which'll be patient enough to tend
to every septic wound till they are
all mere scars, an appreciative eye
that can capture natural beauty
amid the twinkling stars in the sky
Am waiting for soft palms
to wipe the tears I cry
for kindness that can
make a soul sigh
not for perfection,
I just want
someone
true.
I can't feel
When you feel nothing.
And the cycle is vicious
Because we can't see past
All our demons,
All our fears,
All our past loves.

I got a little impatient
When you arrived silent
In the dead of the night
To tell me I've been
On your mind,
Dancing behind your eyes,
Present in your desires.

I know I'll be in trouble
When my heart opens,
Because you feel nothing,
And I'm a vessel
Carrying your smile,
Carrying my love,
Carrying all our lust.

I'll lose no tears
This time I bury
All the powers of heart
Beneath the ocean,
Beneath our laughs,
Keeping us souls apart.

You can't handle me.
And my heart's cracks
Must never be seen.
You'd pour into them
Your needs and wants,
Your love and torments.

The audience listened to a piano piece
As the tempo changed into dramatic
It was like the harmony being magic
But there was a chain reaction
The audience brought out in tears
It wasn’t the performance illustrated any fear
The piano musical presented a story in the audience minds
A story of living pasts and present
The talking keyboard in what the musical piece represents
The beauty of the tone
Simply music all alone
The rhythm that pulled the musical song along
Captioning the audience hearts where it belongs
The highs and lows of tempo
The applause a piano will never ever forget
However leaving after the performance with no regret
The curtain came down
Remembrance of a keyboard flow that can be found
Total audience inspiration being all around.
