Fall Apart

Things fall apart too easily

My soul is breaking away at the seams

And it seems I have become

A person I was never meant to be.

An impossible me,

Put into reality incorrectly

The Past has Perished

The past has perished,

the future is in peril

And we are all left in the present,

mourning those who came before

and praying for those who come after

We have dug our own grave

But we refuse to get in it

We have doomed ourselves

But we refuse to acknowledge it

After all, why face reality when the fantasy is so much prettier

The end is nigh

And it's always been close

Slowly but surely creeping up

And we pushed it over that edge

Its comes up and bites us in the butt

LUNA

Sweet Luna comes up

And she sheds her tears of light

Making the night bright

THE DEPTHS BELOW

I jump into a sea of uncertainty

And down I sink, down into absurdity

The world closes around me and I'm left with only who I want to be

Standing there in front of me, barely out of reach

My view is shifted from a wide expanse to a minuscule pinhole

Warmth rushes away from me and I am left cold

The light fades away

Night replaces the day

Dark, darker, yet darker

I drift out of sight of any safe harbor

I am thrust down, deep down, leagues and leagues away from the surface

Deep down I go, and I might just go the furthest  

Deep down in the depths below

I sense a wicked flow

Deep down where it's dark as night

I am filled with horrid fright

Deep down where no ship sails

my muscles are weak and my bones are frail

Deep down where shadows meet

I find it harder and harder to sleep

Deep down in the depths below

I hear the beasts roam to and fro

Deep down where it's dark as night

my lungs are empty and tight

Deep down where no ship sails

I am blinded by thick black veils

Deep down where shadows meet

Trouble disturbs the the rhythm of my heartbeat

Deep down in the depths below

I am put through trials of pain and woe

Deep down where it's dark as night

so little is touched by the light

Deep down where no ship sails

I fear that I might fail

Deep down where shadows meet

My fears gather in a horrific fleet

Deep down in the depths below

I know not where to go

Deep down where it's dark as night

I am stripped of my precious rights

Deep down where no ship sails

I hear the terrible wails

Deep down where shadows meet

My resolve becomes weak

Deep down in the depths below

I face my countless foes

Deep down where it's dark as night

I ready for a fight

Deep down where no ship sails

I sink without hope of bail

Deep down where shadows meet

I ready for retreat

Deep down in the depths below

will I survive? I do not know

Deep down where it's dark as night

peaceful slumber I would invite

Deep down where no ship sails

my soul is cleansed by righteous hail

Deep down where shadows meet

The future nears and the present seems obsolete

Deep down in the depths below

the seeds of my success I sow

Deep down where it's dark as night

I fight back with all my might

Deep down where no ship sails

I have taken the hardest trail

Deep down where shadows meet

My demons I must defeat

Further down and further still my soul is crushed, compressed, compounded

Im am built back up into something new,

Where there was once fallow, courage and strength grew

I've come so far yet further I must go

And it is so very hard to continue to grow,

But I will not stop I will never stop

I will never be done, never at the top

So I climb out of the depth below

Where it's dark as night  

Where no ship sails

Where shadows meet

I've found my own method of ascension,

I’ve blazed a trail straight through damnation,

Directly towards my own salvation

Fear no man

I fear no man and I dig no graves

In the face of danger I stand stalwart and brave

Through this world I walk tall and proud

Never looking backwards, never backing down

I wear no ring, I share no bed, to glory I have been endowed

Im racing towards the end for which I am bound

Life holds me prisoner, only by Death will I be crowned

Sunrise

As the moon falls down in its nightly demise

The sun rises above that distant line

It takes its place as king of the sky

And on the world below it shines

fear

Fear fills my heart

It flows through my whole body

Pumped through me like blood

Permeating into every piece of my being

My mind is tangled in knots like abstract art

Thoughts go in and out like a dance most gaudy

Worries fill my head in a wicked flood

I feel tied down just waiting for the next beating

I try to reorganize, and find meaning but I don't know where to start

I attempt to build myself up but I fear the construction is shoddy

Despair blooms in my chest like some terrible flowers bud

Any sense of hope I have is quickly fleeting

Tomorrow is unknown and comes for me like a speeding dart

I fear yesterday's mistakes will become future folly

Any moment i could collapse and fall with a thud

I just wish to arange with death a quick meeting

I stop

I stop, but the world around me continues spinning

I lose, but those around me keep winning

I die, but everyone else keeps living

I move, but the world doesn't moves with me

I win, but I reap no reward i can see

I live, but everyone i care for ceases to be

I changed, but everything else stays the same

I fade, but others thrive and gain their fame

I remember, but others forget their names

I remain, but everything else seems to change

I thrive, but to others i still seem strange

I forget, but no one else is as deranged

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

My soul lays broken an incomplete

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

I find it harder and harder to sleep

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

Trouble stirs the the rhythm of my heartbeat

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

My fears gather in a horrific fleet

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

Everything is bitter and never sweet

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

My resolve is frail and weak

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

The end is close, the present obsolete

Deep down in that place where shadows meet

My future seems to be terrible and bleak

Shadows

The man drenched in shadow strays away from his set way

He walks away from what he knows, what he loves, what he hates

Leaving behind the weights of the past creating his own path

Blazing a way to something new, trying to quench his many shadows and shades

He knows not where he goes, only that it's better than what he leaves behind

He brings nothing with him but his future and a pantheon of stolen gods hoping both his own

He leaves burned bridges and broken walls in his wake

He has nothing to guide him but the stars poking their way through the impenetrable darkness of the night

He hopes he can find his own way

lost

Lost, but at what cost

Drwoning, my fears are mounting

Confused, my mind never soothed

Hell

I don't wanna go to hell, but if i do

I wanna go with you

Walking hand in hand, through the gates of the damned

Won't it be so grand

Our love burning around us in a glorious fire

Sending us off in a beautiful pyre

We burn eternally

Together infernally

Do you sing in the shower

Do you stop to smell the flowers

Do you ever get sad

What makes you gleeful and glad

Do you ever stop and wonder if we are alone in this universe

Do you often curse

What are your aspirations, what are your dreams

Is the universe as it seems

Do you like dogs

Can you look at a map and point to prague

What's your deepest fear

What brings you to tears

What shade of green is your favorite

What kind of foods make you stop and savor it

Where do you go when the world is just too much

Would you ever consider learning dutch

Do you think life is worth living

Is there a point where one should stop giving

Who do you care for most

What do you like on your toast

What's your favorite book

Have you ever swam in a river or brook

Would you rather party or spend the night alone

When is the last time you have grown

Why are we the way we are

What is your dream car

What makes your heart beat quick

How many centimeters are in a yard stick

Who am I and who are you

What do you wish you had spent more time thinking through

Red Desert

A darkening sky chases the sun into exile in the west, sending the sun to its daily death

I sit in a dessert witnessing this dastardly chase, a look of awe fresh on my face

The sand stands in countless little mountains, constantly shifting in the wind, shrinking and growing in an endless cycle of wax and wain

The sun, falling from grace, paints the landscape with its blood turning the sand a vibrant red as it descends into the desserts plain

The sun, in its glorious demise, choses a few thousand lucky bits of sand to inherit its light, creating a field of stars in the ever expanding plane of dunes

As this happens the wind pushes around the land in a thousand different ways, creating a sad melody of sand, a funeral dirge for the dying light, one last sad tune

Tears of Light

They started to cry and I didn’t know why, but down her face rolled tears of light. These tears of light were o so bright they illuminated my soul showing me what was wrong and what was right, and what I saw gave me a quite a fright for I saw on my immortal being a wicked blight. My soul was an evil expanse, a demonic dessert, devoid of good and proper morals. I saw something in myself so large so strong, I knew it would win, it was something I simply couldn’t fight for I had not the might. I then realized it was I who had made them cry, I who had hurt them and made a piece of them die. This revelation nearly broke me, it turned my day to night, my delight to fright, my kiss to a bite.

[cataclysmic-cosmos]

Can’t you see?

Can't you see?

It's all falling apart

No more churning, no more turning

Just collapsing and falling free

My mind is racing no time to worry about my now withered heart

Because everything I have build is bursting and burning

I just want to be me

But I have to get it correct, I have to get it right, I have to hit the bullseye with my dart

I'm expected to do great things, to keep learning and earning

It's all so much I need to escape, I need to flee

Just a little more and I feel my cold dead body will be taken out on a cart

The world is going too fast, it's whirling and blurring

I can't keep up, I can't keep going, my troubles keep following me like a screaming banshee

Im told I just have to work through it, just work harder, be better, but i'm not that strong or that smart

I can't even keep focus, I lose track of my self during my discerning

Can't you see what this is doing to me?

Can't you see this is not the way it was meant to be?

Can't you see I can't do this, can't you see i need to be free?

City in a valley

I sat upon a cliff and  looked at what was bellow

I saw a city in a valley drenched in moonlight

The light of the sky fought with the cities weak yellow glow

The two collided and combined to create a beautiful night

The city was alive and so was the sky

People ran around in cheerful glee

and the moon's tears twinkled up so high

Both were cheerful and beautifully free
