little girl lucy,
climbed up a tree,
and among the clouds she wondered,
what she could be.

she had chipped pink nails,
and ash blonde hair,
a voice that could take her anywhere.

she hoped of a future
and to be loved,
she flew up above.

oh how that little girl soared,
until she came crashing to the floor,
and all of her hopes and dreams were no more.

she fell into the pits of hell,
oh her times were swell.

she danced with the devils,
and pranced around kindle,
now, she'd been swindled.

the master himself,
wore a black mask,
making her life a misery was his task.

he twirled his trident
of orange and red,
he ****** it into her little head.

lucy was gone,
her childhood wrecked,
all because the devil,
wanted to bring her down to his level
How often we think we know people
When we barely know ourselves
Instead of looking within to find answers
We always end up looking someplace else

How often we think we are right
When all that we perceive is an illusion
In the war of words that is an argument
More often than not we come across as delusional

How often we think our feelings are hurt
When its only our ego that is bruised
Emotions run strong and we end up conjuring a farce
Claiming that we have been used

How often we end up behaving
Exactly opposite of the way we wanted to
We justify our actions
Saying there was nothing else we could possibly do

How often we think we know it all
When wisdom we possess hardly at all
How often we boost our already mile high egos
Only to find out later we are never going to get our encores

Life is a puzzle, its a devious game
It isn't something that can be tamed
It should be embraced as it unravels
Only then can we understand it's marvels.

"objects in mirror
are closer than they appear"
in the mirror of my eyes
i feel like
people in my life,
are further than they appear.
you never truly know someone,
and that terrifies me.
inspired from a car side mirror...poems strike anywhere i guess

The End

You took my breath away-
Quite literally might I add.
I was choking, and struggling
Trying to take in something
Anything to ease the relentless ache
But you were there like a rock,
Just pressing down upon me.
My heart was bursting
My lungs were cramped
But you didn't let up,
Didn't even consider it.
I felt myself sinking
Under all the burden
Of you, and your words
Your thoughts, and your actions.
Then
Finally
It became too much
And the struggle ended
I sank
Just beneath your feet
Where you'd always wanted me.
So don't cry
Or repent
For my struggle has ended

With the granting of your wish
If only I could tell you,
I love you so dearly,
I'm afraid of letting you close,
I live so fearfully.
I know I'm breaking you up,
I'm killing you inside,
I would absorb your love,
But I'm scared I'll fly.
A poem from 2011
I am a cave
for nobody dwells within me
and when someone does stay,
they leave just as quickly
im dark and depressing,
lonely and hidden
sunlight and happiness are forbidden
I wish that i could bring joy to others
without hurting myself time after another
Alas, I am two poets,
Trapped inside one mind.
Living separate lives, entwined;
Mirrored souls of each other.

Created out of insecurity,
Places the darkened times lay.
Released but I was never free,
Never meant to see existence.

In confusion, I hurt maidens fair,
Broke their hearts and took their souls.
But I knew who I really could be,
I was a shattered facade of crystal.

Suicide soon beckoned me, so near,
My mind collided and I escaped.
Once again I feel into darkness,
Lost in the depths of imagination.

My story is still to be told, released,
For a phantom still dwells inside.
When least he thought me long gone,
Will be the time for me to return, once more.
