I know there’s a different world.
I am on the counter-realm.
I am not meant to be here –
– I belong in the other realm.

My realm, my light,
My colours, my night..
My moon, my tide,
My heart, my mind…

I would unfold my arms
I would reach out to the sky
I could touch the pink clouds,
And the blue, purple, even the shimmering white

The stars quadrupled just for my eyes
The night sky holding no darkness
A dream on its own, above me
The moon so close, igniting my senses

The water never too deep,
Never lacking this fantasy shade;
While I think the dream is up above,
I look at the water – perfection of balance God made

This fantasy one man created
Turned into my much longed-for reality
In search I journeyed for eleven years
Today, realizing – Freedom to dream is my destiny.
This house
Over 100 years old

One and a half stories
On the corner it stands bold

The wind blows the trees
The whole place  creaks

People were born here
Others had died

With in the walls
No secrets to hide
I was
the first
to cry
when daddy died
lying there
so peacefully
in his
sweet golden casket
i give him
so much grief
being the
youngest boy
in the family
always competing
with my older
brothers for
daddy's affection
oh, what
laddy i was
mischief knows
me well
as long as i live
on the face of
this earth
your son will
earn his due first
and
prove his worth
Those who are crushed in spirit
Will have someone there
Perhaps it's God for those believe
My faith stands firm

Push out all those demons
Take those thoughts out of my system
The chemicals should not take over me
Not a drop of poison in this bottled up mess

No matter how busy you are, you make sure I get enough of your time,
No matter how unproductive your day has been, you never let your frustration outshine.

It amazes me sometimes how well you understand me,
Even though I give you enough reasons to get upset with me,

I hurt you on various occasions;  I act difficult with you,
I do get cruel with my harsh words when hatred is all I chew...

BUT you skillfully handle me at my worst; you just become a sink so that I can outburst,
Once I am done with letting out my anger, I take a deep breath and become tender.

I settle down, regain my senses…
You talk to me as if nothing happened and then nothing changes…

You have your own magical way of treating my insanity....
You mean the most to me in the world...I thank you, for, our relationship is not a vanity.

We started off as being just two classmates... became friends...then best friends…
After a long phase of "more than just friends"...we said we are “boyfriend and girlfriend”...

There is a galaxy inside my body
Stars ripple at the surface of my skin
The milky way plays across my lips
I sing in constellations that will make you want to visit the parts of me that aren't so pretty
I will capture you in my black holes and darken your skies
Your eyes will only see the light as it fades

There is a galaxy inside my body
And it is unravelling
Planets begin to collide and erupt
Suns and moons are fearful of one another and in this panic will reach further and further
Until their edges can be seen in my hands
My lungs cannot contain the instability of this air

There is a galaxy inside my body
People do not travel past the gates of my ribs
Men gaze with telescopes from the ground, speculating  
But do not seek to know more than their judgements can dictate
I have visitors from time to time
But the rings of matter that circle my heart choke them out
I return them broken or estranged

I have a galaxy inside my body
And only the brave begin to understand
Because humanity is so afraid of the unknown
A wonder involving if we knew what was under the surface of what we see in the stars and ourselves
It's 5am and she is awake
Something woke her from her fitful sleep
She wanders the halls
          each step getting colder
Taking in the photographs on the walls
She sees a smiling beautiful couple
She wonders if they're  not just the doppelganger, their double
           she sees movement out of the                       corner of her eye
She stops to stare at one in particular
Back then, her hair fuller, nails thicker  
          a soft, cool breeze upon her neck
Then he fell into the water, never to come up for breath    
Since then, she too has wished for death
            she believes she hears his voice whispering in her ear
Today though death will not come
              "I am here waiting for you to come to me"
The sun is up, death is again gone 
                *she turns her head, nothing to see
I decided to make a story out of "Ghost"
This one is more of the back story. Please enjoy, this is the first time I've tried this. The last "chapter" I hope to have finished by weeks end.
pink cotton candy
in my hands
waiting for a
patch of light
to surge
up again
that
let
me see
the
sight of spring
from
the
height of
the
Ferris wheel again

No  more white picket fences
No more lace veils or vows
No more you the only one cause that's all done with now

This is the last love song i'll ever write for you.
