Withering. . .

Love doesn't look at me anymore
She is too scared to see the tears in my eyes
The pain in my persona evident with each blink

Love doesn't speak to me anymore
She is too scared to hear the heartbreak blues
The tremble in my voice whenever I speak

Love doesn't connect with my soul anymore
She is too scared to see the depth of love in store
The distance I am willing to go with each step I take

Love doesn't touch me anymore
She is too scared to feel the wrinkles on my skin
The stress covered with layers of fake smiles I wear

Love doesn't want me to love anymore
She is to scared to want for me what she cannot provide
The hurt will wither away and nothing more will be left but a broken-hearted me

Turbulence

The ground is warm
The weather is great
All that is missing is your magnificent form

Life goes on
The more I interact with you
The more my heart yearns

You are what I desire now
But the question is how
Temptation has me questioning. . .

Sacred. . .

As subtle as the softest whisper
Evening stars spill and linger
Their light like fireflies in the skyline
Illuminating the darkness and leaving me livid

Your name resounding louder, thoughts of you like pi, unending
Crossing and weaving into a symphony so transcending
Our lives intertwined, creating a union bound by friendship
Confusion dominates as I await life's release from this trance

The magic of this moment is the gift of the unknown
If this love is abysmal, then my perception must be dethroned
Reflecting through this blackhole of time leaves me void and stoic
Yearning for this to be real, as I take this leap of faith with my heart

Catch me unaware and dominate this plateau
Pulverise this reclusion like a demolition ball to a chateaux
Solitude yet my only companion, unfazed by my affinity
For something sacred that I feel is only a manifestation of my invention

Scared!

Scared!
To trust, to give in completely
Scared that in the end it will just be me in my zone
Lost, confused, hurt, torn, and all alone

Scared!
I won't live up to your expectations and dreams
Scared it will all fall apart at the seams
Not having the means to provide you with what you need

Scared!
I'll be jealous and drive you insane
Scared you'll start to look at me like I'm some sort of pain
Stumbling over my words, not knowing what to say

Scared!
To be in pain again, although what I feel is real
Scared to believe in the possibility that I found my kindred soul
Who seems to have made my half my whole

Eternity. . . (Mary Jane)

I blink and night falls
My eyes, glazed, find their focus
On an image. . . only I can see 

Time and distance lose their foothold 
All life fades into mist 
Over aeons, my soul is set free 

No words need to be spoken 
No feelings need to be shared 
We merge, mind with beautiful mind 

Drawn, inexorably, together 
By the timeless grip of eternity
This emotion or whatever I feel has me bound

Dark Clouds

Dark clouds, soft breeze  
The promise of rain reminds me that nothing is promised 
With each drop our love fades 
Just like a floating leaf having no direction in movement

Like the thunder that follows the storm 
We seem not to hear each other anymore
Our love has been replaced by lightening strikes of pain 
The arguments droning out the beautiful symphony 

With each tear I fade away scared  
We have become mundane with each strike being calculated
I seek that warmth in another's arms to only be reminded of you 
Penance I feel paid yet your blessing I can't have 

Feel bound yet free 
Alone yet comforted 
Waiting on the sun to give me direction and purpose
For my deep roots need to be fulfilled not just by rain.

Yesterday. . .

Yesterday
After 12 was before 6
Today Musiq brings me tears...

Yesterday
Good times reflected in my eyes
Today memories of you undulate in my brow...

Yesterday
There was harmony of two souls
Today the mobocracy won't fade away...

Yesterday
Your laugh was manifested
Today your anger resonates my helix...

Yesterday
Our path was radiated with hugs
Today visions of our future seem so desolate

Yesterday
Will always be a day within itself
Today is simply the present period of time
