A Moment in Time Nothing is left in my way The road is expansive up ahead I ponder the path before me And I know where the past has lead Afraid to look beyond my borders The horizon is so far away I wonder why I thought of moving Decided that it’s best to stay A moment in time The world collapses And I am alone, in here But this is where I’ve been before This is where I know the fear Everything is left in my way The bars lock as I try to free I see escape so close from here But the future is denied to me Forced to live my life again Can’t believe I thought I’d go The chains tighten as I struggle The past is not so long ago A moment in time Our world collapses And we are alone, in here I know that we’ve been here before This is where you caused a tear You are left in my way You tug and pull and call to me Pleading that I should stay near you Through my eyes you’re all I see Yet you refuse to take a glance A step in my direction Refusing to let me love you I cannot leave by my discretion A moment in time My world collapses And I’m not alone, in here This is the chance I’ve waited for Vanished as it once appeared Top of Page [Love Poetry] Previous Poetry Index Next [Depression Poetry 2]

Rhymeless Hatred Why can’t I fall Into the pit of oblivion Why cant I die Why cant we live as one Is there something more Than I see before me Am I floating softly Into the desert alone Where is the orbit heading The world is falling down Fires and death implore me But I must hold on Building up a past Gazing into the depths Throwing down my dogma Picking up a brochure Sleeping where our fathers wept Forgetting all the others Roll into myself Ignore the sacred omens Trek into the soul Swallowed by the fold Yet refusing to compromise Dying to live free Retreat into the pages Burn them to stay warm Won’t collapse into tomorrow Forced to give my hopes away Rejecting common ideas Bathing in today Crawling from the womb Running from my shelter Protection is cruelly bitter Stifling the bloom I cannot be harmed If I am not alive I am looking for the anchor Carried by the tide I’ve known all this before I slipped into the hate Hoping its not too late Top of Page [Love Poetry] Previous Poetry Index Next [Depression Poetry 2]

The Void The void is abandoned Nothing to it now Throw your life into the hole And you’ll be sucked straight down The hunger waits for no man And no man waits to die The silent traps of loneliness Ensnare the ones that try Life is just a struggle Tempting the destroyed But in the end all surrender And tumble through the void The void cannot be beaten The bodies stack like stones They fall, until they are nothing Without ever leaving home Top of Page [Love Poetry] Previous Poetry Index Next [Depression Poetry 2]

Essence Inflated with the essence Of a cool morning rain Woven inside its presence Silence is its domain Silent screams reverberate Screams of the inner core Yet the eagles hesitate To take their wings and soar Makes its home in loneliness A mob of seething souls In its chamber I confess And read the ancient scrolls Caught within its tempting gaze And enchanted by its fury Setting my idle world ablaze But heeding to my worry Top of Page [Love Poetry] Previous Poetry Index Next [Depression Poetry 2]

Bubbling Brook Decaying on a branch of life Withering underneath the spout Digging in for the world’s admiration And finding an empty pocket Drastic measures taken When the alternatives are melting Pleasure molding on the tables Because the gold was merely sunlight And you’re so fucking hollow When you cut do you draw blood? And you’re so fucking empty How could you not be understood? The thickest frost is slowly thinning Mystic haze becoming clear Blinded by the flash of light Which bubbles from your slashes The awe of many sounds inform you Gasps of breath make the air strong For one instant the world stands still Then resumes cyclonic action And you’re so fucking hollow When you cut do you draw blood? And you’re so fucking empty How could you not be understood? Coronus bows his head before you And he sheds a single tear But the giant's cries are not accepted For there's laughter in your ear Gently stroking heaven A tiny glimpse of the unknown Like glasses for your eyeballs That you have glued tightly closed And you’re so fucking hollow When you cut do you draw blood? And you’re so fucking empty How could you not be understood? Digging deeper in the skin From life you confidently depart Forcing the evil from you To be swallowed in his arms Your other half is calling Without laughter in his eyes But another side is happy So you fester then you die And you’re so fucking hollow When you cut do you draw blood? And you’re so fucking empty How could you not be understood? Pouring like a river Comes the fury of your blood Soaking all you realize And collected by the flood To be pumped back inside your skin And revitalize the life But the torrent is unending Neglect the bandage, choose the knife Top of Page [Love Poetry] Previous Poetry Index Next [Depression Poetry 2]

Perfect Silence The somber stench of society Attempting to confide in me Don’t mind, its all a falsity For I have found the silence And you lie And you try And you laugh like life is fine And you smile All the while Planning my demise… A perfect silence lies somewhere deep inside The sacred place you tried to hide I took it from you, made it mine And now its nothing And I bleed And I plead And I fall head first to the floor And I die Yes I fucking die Closing my goddamn eyes… We all bend before the sound Echoing from the resourceful hound The perfect silence cannot be bound We know the truth is rotten And we seethe And we breathe And the silence is shattered And we loathe And we know That the silence was all that mattered Yes, the perfect fucking silence No need to speak, to waste it all I was safe with your deception Trapped inside your fucking walls Top of Page [Love Poetry] Previous Poetry Index Next [Depression Poetry 2]
