Chains and Locks

You can read in my face,
Empty once again,
Will this be a last embrace,
As my heart is caving in.

I won't last for long,
We should have known,
I always do her wrong,
No more than skin and bone.

Jump in a hole,
You can fill it with dirt,
Fill it full,
Because I can't take the hurt.

The pain will always dig at me,
Leaving me apathetic,
With open eyes still too blind to see,
The life I live pathetic.

I don't think it is right,
To want a tomorrow,
Just the same mediocre trite,
In these arms of sorrow.

Just a closed door,
To a heart-shaped box,
Now nothing more,
Than chains and locks.

A Blur

All was good,
Til' something else came to town,
Now I worry as I should,
That something sent her tumbling down.

Something is eating away,
Herself is not around,
What's wrong I can not say,
As she is nowhere to be found.

Search high and low,
For an answer that isn't there,
So vivid yet it doesn't show,
It hurts so bad to care.

Because there is nothing I can do,
To make smooth out of rough,
All I know is salvation is out of view,
And that I am not enough.

I just don't comprehend,
Hieroglyphics is what it seems,
I just wish I could pretend,
That it doesn't haunt my dreams.

But it is all such a blur,
Every single night,
I only think of her,
Because nothing seems right.

Underneath It All

It is just the start,
Our race has just begun,
We must take to heart,
That it is far from won.

Time is our rival,
Always breathing down our neck,
Hoping not for our survival,
But for us to become a wreck.

We are stronger then to give in,
To the obstacles that may appear,
It will try again and again,
To make us fall into fear.

We will win the fight,
Conquer life's game,
Together our heart's light,
Will put the stars to shame.

We will stand for our pride,
Stand for our love,
Taller than the rising tide,
We will rise above.

It will take more than a black hole,
To rip us apart,
We are combined at the soul,
And at the heart.

As long as we stand as one,
We will never fall,
As we have already won,
Underneath it all.

Your Last

I searched for so long,
Never did I think this before,
That it would be so easy to get along,
When I found out you are everything I was searching for.

I know I won't be your first,
But who cares about your past,
I have but one thirst,
And that is to be your last.

I have come to decide,
It was now or never,
I want to stand by your side,
Not just now but forever.

The way the distance of land,
Doesn't stop us is a sign,
I'll hold your hand,
If you just hold mine.

I felt this itch,
The moment I fell,
To my heart you are the stitch,
Holding it together while the love may swell.

The love that binds,
Keeps me from haste,
When your lips I find,
They'll never lose taste.

Best I've Ever Had

With blinded eyes,
And deafened ears,
Countless lies,
Have led us here.

Hiding from everything I've known,
Cause I know none of it is true,
Never have I felt so alone,
Until I found you.

From the depths of Hell,
To the clouds in the sky,
To the heavens you propel,
As I learn to fly.

I was so torn and broken,
Before we began our descent,
Your words only once were spoken,
Yet forever etched in wet cement.

You were the friend to turn me around,
From my days of being sad,
Forever we feel safe and sound,
As Lily is the best I've ever had.

Wings of Desire

The stars pierce the sky,
Shining onto your hair,
Clipped wings with ambition to fly,
For they once took you anywhere.

Sit on a far off hill,
To watch the lights of the city,
You your side I fill,
Cause compared to your smile nothing is quite as pretty.

Sit there watching your usual poses,
As your voice soothes my ears,
A melodic bed of roses,
Blanketed in since dry tears.

Your words still enchant the air,
In perfect harmony they flow,
The way the sun glimmers in your hair,
Makes me never want to go.

But most of all,
It is how you make me smile,
When I just want to hide and bawl,
You make me want to stay a while.

Now you fly again,
Fly even higher,
Together we float into the wind,
On the wings of desire.

Stitched

So mislead,
She doesn't understand,
I wish she would notice instead,
That I'm fine as long as I can hold her hand.

There is no such thing as letting me down,
When she does something wrong,
Because I know she has turned my world around,
And made me so much more strong.

What makes you my cause,
Is your comprehension,
You think you are made of only flaws,
But if so they are stitched together with good intention.

Let's take it day by day,
Let our whole world unfold,
Finding a way,
To see what the future beholds.

Cause there is nothing quite as easy,
Than picking you to be mine,
Sure, life is always at least a little breezy,
But if it was always calm it wouldn't be worth the time.

Spinning For Us

With each and every blink,
You draw more near,
A fluttering butterfly looking for a drink,
In front of me you appear.

I feel the awe consume,
As my heart skips a beat,
Such beauty is in bloom,
With each step of your feet.

See your smile illuminate the den,
As nothing as never shined so bright,
I can't remember when,
I've ever seen such a sight.

All I know is that you're one of a kind,
With your gleaming inviting eyes,
The way you smile just blows my mind,
And you only come in fun size.

Since that day you walked to me,
And I fell in love with you,
I've never been so free,
The sky was never this blue.

This place was never so alive,
Before our verse met the chorus,
Together we survive,
Now the world is spinning for us.

A Toast to Kings

Hear the clock count down,
Count em' one two three,
Royalty with a broken crown,
What's left of thee?

You once stood so tall,
But your regime fell apart,
So quick it did fall,
Stolen dignity and shattered art.

Your once towering castle,
Is now just a collapsed house of cards,
Was it worth the hassle,
To think forever wasn't hard.

Damage beyond repair,
Never expect perfection to be the norm,
It takes more than prayer,
To survive the storm.

You lived thinking you were right,
Through the eyes of vivid reverie,
Thinking you were the shiny armor knight,
Practicing exceptional chivalry.

Pierced by reality's sword,
Dear king and queen,
It was cursed in your accord,
If you know what I mean.

Life is more than gold and jewels,
Do you finally understand?
You have been ignorant fools,
So hang on to the glory at your right hand.

The time bomb's ticking comes to a halt,
Hear it start to ring,
It was all your fault,
Here is my toast to the king.

These Rumors of Your Demise

You are being fed these lies,
Making it all feel real,
These rumors of your demise,
About how you're heart she may steal.

And I don't know,
How to feel,
Is she friend or foe,
Fake or real?

Promise me your safety,
As I am so scared,
You've seemed so happy lately,
To be you dared.

Our eyes are wide open,
You may live the world of reverie,
Just don't let those words be spoken,
Face her with bravery.

I have faith you will be fine,
But please be judge and jury,
Keep yourself in line,
And save the worry.

I know you have the fight in you,
Just don't let it tear you apart,
But even if you do,
I'll still pick up the pieces of your heart.

The Cadence of a Dream

I listen to the calm breeze,
Softly singing a lullaby so smooth,
To one’s ears it will please,
For the sound is intricate to sooth.

The arctic crisp air surges slickly through a breach,
Into my unvoiced room;
Vivacity is the decree in which it may beseech,
As the colors blinds one’s eyes with a boom.

The aroma of pine hovers in the air,
Within my little reprieve;
Out at the glorious world I stare,
Like it was my own world of make-believe.

This is but my room,
A place I habitually infatuate;
A place where even if I met my doom,
I would still feel great.

The air is always cold,
Such sumptuousness I reminisce,
As if it were plated in gold,
This place I always miss.

I slouch on the spongy bed,
Which makes comfort a law,
With a diminutive transom overhead,
And a soft pillow to brace my jaw.

The blanket is so fuzzy and supple,
Keeping me warm at night;
We act as a mutualistic couple,
And we are planes commencing into dreams we take flight.

These visions that flash in my head,
Make up the blood in my veins;
They are the butter to my bread,
Matching the brawn to the brains.

For where else can one dream,
In a world where anything can be done,
Where everything is as it seems,
And every game can be won?

There is nothing better than dreaming another sunset,
Watching waves crash from the sea,
As the illumination leisurely gleams our silhouette,
We the leaves shimmer on the world tree.

Closer on the soft brittle sand,
We lay picture perfect;
Soaking up the last of the sun-kissed land,
Making our days worth it.

Speaking in tongues of present and past,
We embark to moments once subsisted;
Reliving the memories that may have once put us in emotional cast,
Through the day our conversing persisted.

As the time passes us by,
And the shadows start to loom,
You can hear the stars cry,
As their luminosity begins to consume.

Clouds start to integrate,
Across the heavens they lunge,
A whole new world they create,
As they are squeezed like a sponge.

The rain simply washes away,
Washes away our sorrow,
An ideal way to end a faultless day,
Never having to worry about tomorrow.

The following morning I awake,
To the chirping of a bird,
Just as the day breaks,
I find myself back in the real world.

I am not sad,
For I know I will return,
To the place where nothing is bad,
The cadence of a dream I yearn.

Until then just sprawl out here,
And let the wind carry you there,
Together we can escape fear,
Where we can live without a care.

Submerge into the mystic,
And realize that everything is alright,
Even if it may not be realistic,
It can ease you through the night.

So listen to the tranquil breeze,
To its enchanting song,
Your mind it will please,
Taking you to the place where you belong.

Our Canticle

Hey there,
I know it's hard to deal,
But I'm here to care,
So tell me what you feel.

When all is wrong,
I'll try to make it right,
Together we are strong,
And we can sleep through the night.

If you just wipe your eyes,
I promise I will give my all,
Help you realize,
That I'll never let you fall.

When there is no sun,
And there are no stars,
I'll be the one,
Who will heal these scars.

These things that tear us apart,
The pain which we all have to feel,
These ruptures to your heart,
Are never too deep to heal.

I'm the judge and you're the jury,
We got pain on trial,
No need to worry,
I'll make you smile.

For there is nothing to fear,
We can pull off a miracle,
I'll always be here,
And this is our canticle.
