    Where Worlds Must Meet

    Basically,
    ideas overwhelmed the night,
    waving
    in front of the confused fog's
    face;
    - Let it be-
    moistened streets
    caressed by the fingertips
    of darkened dreams
    slept,
    tonight,
    when silver threads unravel
    paintings without canvas,
    passer buys without faces,
    and a woman without heart.

    Where worlds must meet-
    cracked mirror
    midnight kiss,
    loveless gaze,
    pouring rain.

    Basically,
    grayness evolved
    following
    cloudy highways,
    lurking behind the festal gargoyle's
    grin;
    -Let it live,
    let it breathe
    let it feel
    sky's heartbeats-

    Where worlds must meet-
    shattered letters,
    nocturnal whisper,
    wordless prayers,
    pouring rain.

    Starless Night

    These Cold Nights
    Are Eating Me Alive,
    Wont You Stay
    To Keep Me Warm
    Tonight.

    While I Stare;
    The Sky Falls Around Me,
    But You Still,
    Are Not There.
    And While I Waltz
    Through The Ballroom
    Full Of Twinkling Wonders,
    My Mind Returns To You.
    Gently And Slowly,
    One By One They,
    Began To Blink Out.

    Frozen I Stood,
    On The Marble Floor.

    I Awoke.
    Seeing The Last
    Of Them Blink
    and Fade Away,
    Like The Insistent Noise
    Of The Monitor
    Next To Me.
    Everything Left Me.
    And Again I Found Myself
    In That Wonderous Hall
    Of The Starless Night.
    All The Time Looking,
    For A Mere Glimpse
    Of Your Face

    Your Eyes

    I remember those blue-green pools,
    So fierce, yet tranquil,
    Perfect for drowning,
    A smile forever on the lips.

    In these depths,
    Words were not needed,
    A thought, a feeling,
    So easily read and absorbed.

    I remember the day I saw nothing,
    No dark, no light,
    Just an abyss of emptiness,
    No words were needed then either.

    They still haunt me,
    Your eyes,
    Those ghostly pools that held everything,
    Then nothing.

    I wonder if you have seen that emptiness,
    If those eyes still haunt you,
    If the colour lay as vibrant in your memories,
    As it does mine.

    Portrait

    Spectral seconds
    laugh backwards
    echoing with damnation
    planted within sinful minds;

    I have a picture to burn:
    Frozen dreams
    of vivid warmth
    drown
    our carnal whispers.

    Reality is just a portrait
    framed with shadows,
    painted in black and white
    ornamented
    with bleeding thunderstorms.

    Spectral seconds
    sing out of tune,
    mocking futility
    of our mordant kisses.

    " Portrait "

    One teenage girl
    Pulls up to her home
    And she steps out of the car
    Looking to find no one
    Two Open toed-heels sauntered
    In the puddles beneath her
    She came to meet the door
    And grabs for her key
    Watching over her shoulder
    She knows she was being watched
    She had snuck out to a party
    Earlier that night
    For her parents had not known
    She'd now entered her home
    And sprinted up the stairs
    For she had gotten away with
    Her diabolical plan
    She sits on her bed
    And kicked off her shoes
    She inhaled her deep breath
    Like she'd practiced in yoga
    For now she was calmed
    And her thoughts roamed away
    She has now slipped into her nighties
    And was headed to her bed
    But when realization had came
    She head for her lavatory
    This was located by just a few steps
    For she had been drinking that night
    And noticed it was still on her breath
    The door creeks as she returns
    She has finished brushing her teeth
    But has attempted to avoid looking up
    For every mirror has reflection
    She had hated her reflection
    It reminded her of "it"
    For she was not an ugly person
    In fact she could show up Beyonce'
    Her straight blonde locks
    Which were curly from the party
    Her sky blue eyes
    Which were hazel from her contacts
    Her pink plump lips
    Those were cracked from her drinking
    To her Tampa Bay tan skin
    That all her friends killed for
    She was quite popular at school
    There's was no doubt about it
    But her mirror, her mirror, her mirror
    Didn't care about all that jazz
    It didn't care about her rich parents
    Or her sliver Lexus
    All that matter was who she was
    Her mirror didn't show it
    And she couldn't find it anywhere
    She was lost in her own reflection
    Screaming for a way out
    She tries to find herself in who she is
    Guiding her down the wrong path
    He follows her everywhere

    *This is a made up story about a girl who acts very stuck up and [uppedy] but really doesn't know who she is deep down inside*

    Stairway To Love

    I take your hand
    I let you lead me
    Where do we walk my one and only?
    Do you guide me upwards to love
    Or down into despair
    As we walk our souls reach out to touch for the first time
    That first emotional embrace of happiness and passion
    We become but shadows of light
    Shades of brightness radiating from our souls
    And upwards do we ascend
    Upon golden stairs
    To our hearts paradise

    Your Eyes

    My darling I can lose myself within your emerald eyes
    Yet deeper do I look within you till I start to cry
    For I see internally your hearts torment for me
    Those windows to your soul have shown me what you truly see
    Just for you to glance at me cuts deeply into you
    For your heart aches with your need for me
    Just as mine does for you
    We hunger for each other just as we hunger for breath
    For both of us without each other
    We walk a life of death

    Crimson Hearts

    Lies and deciet,
    Anger and
    The hatred that fills you now;
    She turned,
    And kissed me goodbye.
    Some deny it,
    But I wont this time.
    This hurts.
    But youll live
    Sometimes I wish
    I was alive.

    So turn and kiss me again,
    We'll live forever tonight
    In that moment.

    In your eyes I see the anger
    Grow and grow
    But still I wonder.

    Who could burn
    And stay as cold as you?
    Im just another pile of ashes
    In your way.
    Come back tomorrow;
    Cause like a pheonix,
    I'll rise out of those ashes
    And fly away.

    I'll bear my crimson heart,
    And the horrors I've seen.
    No longer pinned to my shoulder
    Locked away in a safe
    Never to see the other.

    Damont.
    burning eyes.

    As i look into your eyes

    all i saw was the sun rise

    it became as if i got lost in a black hole

    your eyes became the coal for that fire which couldn't even be contained

    as i stare in your eyes and yours into mine

    our love grows and becomes entwined

    i feel so happy and my eyes open to the realization of a dream

    which has just become reality

    a fear just came over me

    to lose you is to lose all that i know

    so i will hold on tight

    holding back things that are right

    to keep you here with me

    as i feel your gaze through the burning night

    Cold Words

    As I round the corner of the halls,
    I hear the popular group talking,
    My feet stop right in their tracks,
    And I move so I will not be seen.

    My breathing becomes quiet,
    As my ears listen attentively,
    They are laughing at someone,
    But who are they doing it to?

    Then I hear my name said in disgust,
    And my mouth drops open in shock,
    What have I ever done to them,
    Do they really think I deserve this?

    "You know what I heard about her?"
    Oh, no this can't be happening,
    "She seriously did that? What a jerk!"
    Why can't they stop telling rumors?

    Anger and hurt rush through my body,
    And my face becomes a flushed red,
    They think anyone who isn't like them,
    Has no importance whatsoever.

    "She has to be the ugliest girl alive,"
    My heart becomes wounded,
    "Why is she here? She is so worthless!"
    My breathing almost stops.

    Their mean words stab and pierce my heart,
    But I know what they say isn't true,
    How can words have such a horrible affect,
    And make you feel like a speck of dust?

    I need to escape this horrible nightmare,
    Before I hear them say any worse,
    I have to run away this second,
    Away from their cold words.

    Miracles

    What would happen if the sun never came up in the morning,
    And if we never had that warmth, that nice pleasure, again?
    What if rain, sweet wet rain, never fell down from the sky at all,
    And we never felt that pure moisture fall upon our heads?

    What would happen if pretty lilacs and lilies never bloomed,
    And their wonderful, sweet-smelling scent, was never released?
    What if snowflakes, pure and white, didn't fall on the ground,
    And we couldn't make snow angels and sled upon it?

    What would happen if the dazzling moon never came,
    And it never lit up the night, dark and black, not even once?
    What if the stars, so bright, never shone their beauty for anyone,
    And we could never lie on our backs watching them twinkle?

    What a poor and miserable world it would be,
    If these things never appeared and existed.
    For our world surely needs all of these blessings,
    These truly remarkable God-given miracles.

    Your Eyes

    I see a lonely boy looking for hope
    And a longing love for someone
    I see the tears he had to cry
    As he cried long nights for his special one

    I see the truth and lies
    The anger but also a smile
    In hope he had found her
    Even if he waited for a while

    I see this and much much more
    On the outside though you look fine
    But I can see within your eyes
    What do you see in mine?

    Also
    Can I unreserve Portrait?
