SkyKisses

Of death I speak The coming of the black hooded nightmare Of every child's nightmare And the losts' only escape Of death I speak Bloody cuts looming behind closed eyes Of past regrets gone in two harsh swipes The future disappearing too Of death I speak The hangman's noose blowing in the breeze Singing its silent song As the bright blame of life is snuffed out Of death I speak Cold nights of loss Of burning grief Of pain and solitude that never leaves Of death I speak.

This world of lies   All masks and smoke and mirrors This world of hurt   All good intent and poorly disguised ambition. This world of fear   All spite and blackmail and hate This world of love   Broken promises   Twisted words   Candy coated poison for anyone to pick This world   Built on blood and bones   Treachery and deceit   False gods and wrongful idols Our world.

Feeling night's chilly kiss against my skin Watching as the fire dances its wild dance Free and unfettered Acidic smell of flames drifting through the air Faces illuminated by the firelight Ghouls of another century Another time claiming them as their own Ashy remnants of paper spiraling through the air Mimicking fireflies as they return to the earth Strands of music float leisurely in the air Silence flees But the peace of deep-seated happiness glows from within

Earlier you asked me, "What was wrong?" Later I can tell you, "Nothing is wrong." First I needed you. Then, I found I can stand on my own. I saw with clouded eyes the world going by Then my vision cleared and I can see exactly were I went wrong I thought life was a perfect bubble Able to protect us and shelter us as it sees fit. Maybe clear away some of the soap so we can tell what the world is really about But keep us tucked away for safekeeping. I knew that life was had of it's ups and downs. I knew that that it was full of them. I know that somedays I'm just along for the ride And others I control it I know that now that we

Shattered memories dance across my vision Broken remnants of the past Whispered reminders of what could have been Long forgotten taunts that sting your ears Lost touches leaving burning trails Icy cold fingers exploring equally frigid skin Tear drops mark their way As time you didn't know you wanted slips through your fingers

You told me to be quiet, like one would speak to a child. You told me 'Bad Girl!' like one would speak to a dog. You said, 'Forget it!' like one can control another's thoughts. You say, 'Nevermind!' out of exasperation for I am an annoyance. I now have a few words of my own for you. I can do whatever the bloody hell I want with my life. You can take all your uncaring, unwanted hypocrisy away. You cannot control me, you cannot tell me what to do, you cannot take away what is rightfully mine. Talk and argue and bluster till you're blue in the face. I don't give a damn.

What is courage? Plastic lightsabers cracking at the seams The embers of a fire slowly dying Memories scattered by the wind All to fade with the dawn's morning light Sucessfully murdering what's left of tranquility Whispered words unheard over joyful shrieks of laughter And as reality seeps in You can't help but feel

Flashes of the forest Glimpses into another's life Precious seconds that slip away like a fawn's fleeing figure Precious seconds that turn into immeasurable minutes As flickers of a life you never knew you wanted Or cared about Stolen moments you can't possibly understand And don't wish to try

If you could, would you go back before you met us? Before your bright string on fates' loom became dull and lifeless. Before we lost our best friend. Before she became our best friend and our lives took a turn for the unknown. Would you undo all the tears? All the long lost nights spent down. All the hopeless feelings of despair. Every wrong done when you met us. Will you even read this? Will you mistake it for a desperate plea for help? Or will you take it at face value? What that value is I don't know. What I do know is that this isn't an apology. It's not a plea for help. It doesn't condemn you. It is simplicity t

Through fields of black and white Past the morning's dawning sun Under dark gritty soil Back beyond heaven Lies the keys to peace Above the reach of grasping hands Over all obstacles Rising further than faith thought possible And through it all, you lie waiting for me
