stars dance upon your lucid body
and draw moonlight visions of beauty all around us
wrapped in your warm glow
I find myself lost in midnights carress
floating in a playground of rose petals
that fall on my tongue like heavy drops of rain
warm and sweet like satin that flows through your silky presence

Waiting, anticipation grows
midnight dawns taking with it fantasy
cinderella runs and the dayis over
leaving the past to digest in my mind
and the future to play its game with my life
the present grows longer and eyelids heavy
thoughts racing emotions mixing
sticky and cold
I find myself yearning for more
looking for the excitement I left behind
chasing chaos
this life has become monotonous
over rated
and the reasons for going on are heavily outweighed
by the thought of starting over

Twinkling starlight illuminates the night sky
soft whispers break still quietness
and the wind plays shadows on brilliant moonscape
my vision is filled with darkness,
a sleepy world bright with dreams surrounds me with imagination
the world spinning extravagant tales,
fantasy and reality merged by subconcious thought.
lifes fears express themselves as nightmares,
and desire propagates illicit scenes
the lucidity of vivid color paints a surreal scene on the canvas of life
born of experiences, drama unfolds in vast proportion
poetic verse written by the past projects itself into the unknown future
as dawn breaks sunlight carresses beautiful souls
releasing them from catatonic chains
and brings me to the realization
that I can never experience such sweet bondage.

Noise drowns the silence of life,
causing the world to be forgotten
a welcome friend in a world of insanity called a body.
it courses through my veins,
heals my wounds and tears me apart
I find comfort in the pain,
it tells me it loves me.
coerced by the promise of ecstasy
I give in to naive obsession
the world slows and stops
as I float I find strength, power love friendship and comfort
the world begins to spin again
only faster this time, and as I crash
I find myself weak powerless alone and afraid.

pain kills me, takes me to places
torturous treacherous
hell calls
pulls the string of souls
temptation beckons
and the line becomes obscure
will power is overwhelmed
insanity rushes in
the world spins out of control and nothing makes sense
right and wrong delineated by fog,
and life becomes uncertain
its value trivial
no longer worth fighting for
I have been shown powerless once again
light fades and darkness fills my body with emptiness
pain is slowly forgotten
consequence becomes a promise of the real world
which I leave behind as I chase death into nothingness

Withdrawn I hide in the shadows quietly watching, my dress becomes unnoticeable.
I pull my hat brim lower and squint out at the world around me,
non-imposing and cautious. I no longer wish to be noticed.
I walk down the streets staring at the ground,
an interesting new world greeted with open arms,
unresponsive and non-challant, callous,
insensitivity a bold mask of fear and pain.
Rivited by passive aggression and spite.
I fall through the cracks and get swept away
by a river of depression, fast and furious.
Raging white water cleanses my soul and washes away the darkness,
leaving me naked and vulnerable for all the world to see.

My body fills with rage
burning with pain and anger,
flushed with emotionI lash out at the world.
ripping apart everything I have come to love
fear tears me inside out, terror prevails and I begin to cry.
salty raindrops fall to the floor and nourish life
sunlight catches my tears,
obligated to create color.
a bright rainbow consoles my heart
kisses my wet cheeks
and brings a smile to a little boys face

Your voice beckons me from across the room
miles away and untouchable.
candlelight reflects your beautiful form
resonating perfect innocence.
your sweetness warms the room, sharing love
and bringing joy to everyone it touches.

Radiated light catches my eyes and your vision enters my soul
picturesque and beautiful.
Like a child seeing an angel for the very first time.
I am filled with peace, a warm glow overwhelms my body,
I start to shake.
Trembling I feel your touch and lose my breath.
innocence returned and taken away.
A brief gift accepted gratefully,
sent from incomprehensible length,
relieving years of pain

As your voice reaches me my stomach turns
-I pretend not to notice-
It floats on the wings of butterflies
which now turn inside me torturing playfully
I burn inside hypnotized
your gaze captures me for a brief moment
a picture taken and cherished by loging
trapped inside tiny spheres taking in the world innocently
yet with great wisdom and wonder
they reveal to me the girl inside
hidden by years of distrust and pain
your pain grips me as I look into your heart
wanting to kiss away the streams of pain

as I look into your eyes I find myself lost among beauty
vast openness, perfect nothingness becomes wonderment
intrigue beyond measure overwhelms my being
exploring your soul I find innocence and sweetness
surpassing all imagination
expectation smashed
I am taken with emotion and flushed with passion

sleep comes slowly
my thoughts occupied by your sweetness
you dance into my dreams
twisting and turning through my soul
I feel your presence in the world
so close and yet too far to reach
grasped by imagination, I draw you closer
eyes closed we drift away into eternal longing
floating - surreal
connected by music made by waves that carress the earth
gently - powerfully
together we drift into destiny
and are forgotten by time

Starlight shivers through my body with your whisper
the air calm - quiet and consoling
Your words softly reach out
drawing me close
peaking my desire
your innocence burns from your smile
soft touch and bright sparkling eyes
crisp, clear and deeper than the ocean
full of wisdom and dreams
they hold the world within
reflecting emotion unknown to reality
and incomprehensible to those around you
as I see through your eyes
I can feel you
find you
and take you away
