Silence

No weapons are needed,

Not when you have silence.

Don’t see a need for violence.

Know when I go mute,

I didn’t give up the fight.

I saw it wasn’t worth the battle.

Grace has always been given freely,

Heart wants to believe the best.

Most are like all the rest.

Boasts of their “qualities”

Sickening me to my core.

I’ve never even taken score.

The math is done.

Repeat and replay I shun.

Walk away with kind smiles.

Step in my shoes for miles.

You think it’s easy?

Layers and fluff,

That’s makes life rough.

Callous I’ve become,

Until I looked in the mirror.

Didn’t see what they saw.

Realized their vision was blurred.

Clearly I see that’s not me.

No more asking why.

Who knows the reasoning

Behind those with no meaning?

Just chasing status and rank.

An illusion of a full love tank.

Fake and real you try to divide.

In clear waters I will reside.

The question of why is for myself.

I love, I care, I matter and so do you.

Even when you’re lost in the blue.

Electric Cure

Questions lead to lessons

Torture becomes a cure

Medicine in my veins

Push the button,

Turn up the voltage

Indulging in convolutions

Rewrite my soul

Make my story beautiful

Move the knob back down

Slowly heart begins to calm

All was jolted

Demons bolted

Back to life

Away from strife

Took the chair

Electric waves

Wires changed

New vibrations

Confusion defused

Body transformed

Waves to currents

Currents to tides

Within it all, I will abide

WOW: Saving storm

Nails carve through wooden planks,
Embodied with human flesh,
Each board creates less shine,
Light became but a memory.

Time created a miasma,
Making it difficult to breathe,
Weathered boards begin to warp,
Animals attracted to foul miasma.

Human trapped, vociferous echoes,
Storms came with insouciance,
Then the force from wicked howls,
Funneling clouds.

Tornado hits but only grazing,
The top was ripped off, freedom,
But only for a moment,
Eye of the storm swallowed them up.

Took them to higher grounds,
To the mystery of the skies,
Once forced to remain trapped,
Now they burst from the funnel.

No more miasma in the air,
Instead sweet smells of rain,
Higher until view of Earth escaped,
No longer treated with insouciance.

The galaxy took them on a journey,
Finding unknown treasures from Earth,
From sealed soul to open space,
Memories begin to erase.

Mind Freak

Tricks at play,
Which will stay,
Or make me tick,
Hold and stuff,
Then erupt.

~

Years with layers,
Damn the past,
Holding me hostage,
Let me go,
Freed from pressure.

~

The hand that silenced,
The taped ripped off,
No mercy, no limits,
Lava destroys all that in it.

~

Golden and crimson,
Oozes down scorching,
Beauty into torturing.
Mind is all this matter,
Static and spirals scatter.

~

No worries,
Reasons or rhyme,
Put my thoughts to ease,
Don’t just tease.

~

Some days calm until…
Cycles return,
Into insanity.

My kindness,

taken for granted

Why did I invest time

I don’t deserve this

Should’ve known better

Your intentions

aren’t pure

Please see you way

Out the door

Scar’s Toll

Shredding into strips of nothing

Hungry machine destroys the scene

Painting with strokes of agony

Sleepless nights with ink guiding

Thoughts come out of hiding

Bursts of heart

turned to art

Words placed particularly cased

Shells from bullets erased

Wound was real but now less pain

The scar’s toll

Shedding the depths of my soul

Laid Bare

Ink came with force

Gushing out crimson

A soul ridden flow

Aches and pains

Miles of misery

Pour

Page becomes heavy

A quick fire

Then out

Quenched

Renewed

The pen pulls

Darkness within

Sheds light

Things truly begin

Lines come slow

Smooth

Others rapid rage

Out of the cage

Spilling over

Mixtures of grey

Blood stains

Tears dried

Which one goes

Entangled between

Anger and peace

My heart poured

I laid it out bare

The Shell

On the shore shells sift up with tide.

Some to land others return in the waves.

Empty broken beauties shine iridescently.

Then one I came across was different.

It seemed to move without the water.

Slowly little craw tracks barely print sand.

Why is it moving?

What it is?

The creature was inside its home.

Far too long it began to miss the sun.

It’s body grew …

Much to large for the home it inhabited.

Walls squeezing it out from refuge.

It had forgotten the warmth of the sun.

The smell of the ocean.

Waves crashing on its untouched flesh.

Home at last.

Dive

Diving into the deep blue,
The water’s embrace, a gentle call.
Emerging whole, a force so free,
Gliding down to the ocean’s spree.

Feet plant firm, pushing for air,
Splashing and dancing without a care.
Twirls in the waves, a graceful flair,
Becoming one with the blue, beyond compare.

Decisions blurred

Through six feet of snow I tread,
Lost within, with nowhere ahead.
A path appeared, clear and bright,
Yet I chose to steer, out of sight.

Struggling, stubborn, I hugged the walls,
Unique flakes fell, like crystal calls.
Then I stopped, on pure ice I lay,
Decisions blurred, in disarray.

Was the opening the path to take?
The struggle to find solid ground, awake.
Confined, alone, panic set in,
To find my way back, where to begin?

Bones aching, lungs worn thin,
Yet I found the path I was meant to win.
