Woman my poison my vice

Woman you’re my poison my vice
When you’re away I ache for you
When you’re near I bleed for you

Woman you’re my reason my reward
You’re the balm to sooth the pain
You’re the bandage to staunch the bleeding

Woman you’re my Curse my Blessing
You’re why I live
You’re likely why I’ll Die

Woman I’d have no other for with you
For every ounce of pain you give me I get ten of pleasure
For every moment in hell with you I get ten in heaven

On Twilight wings

On twilight wings she comes
In those fleeting moments between night and day
We dance though time and space
One moment rejoicing at the birth of a random unknown child
The next we weep like lovers for a stranger who died defending their home
Then we quietly enjoy the view of supernova as it destroys all within its reach
Only to trigger the birth of new stars in a nearby nebula
As she leaves she kisses me goodbye
A kiss that fills my veins with fire and ice
And leaves me both dreading and hoping to see her again

I stand before the storm and in this calm I ready myself.
Then the storm strikes with thunder and lighting; wind and rain it hammers at me.
But still I stand unbowed, I know I can not beat the storm but nor can I let it beat me.
The storm blocks my sight but in the reflection of its own power I can see, that I'm not alone in my defiance.
For every one that falls before its might, I become more determined to stand tall.

As the storm passes, I see stretched out before me a barren yet fertile field ready to bare the fruits of those will and able to till it.
It take all my energy just to move but I know it do or die so I push myself.
Other do not have even this much strength.
To those near me I offer my hand even as doing saps me of my own strength.
As we stand we each find our burden lessened.
Looking around I see many get dragged by those they sot to help.
More still who simply ignore all other in favor of themselves.
But most disturbingly some who actually sot to hinder others so that they could have more for themselves.

The beast within

The heart beats thud-thump thud-thump
Muscles burn with desire to be used
Reality slows to molasses
Focus becomes like diamond

And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on

Time becomes but a moment that spreads before me to infinity
All that I have and will become matter not beyond now
For I hear it in my soul the duet of death and destiny
I stand naked before the judgement of reality

And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on

The pain will come now or later
This I know is the cost of ecstasy
Sorrow for happiness, disappointment for dreams
For like the tide every thing must wax and wane

And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on

Like a ship in a typhoon
I must fight just to stay afloat
But to surrender is to meet oblivion
So I fight knowing not if I'll win but not ready to lose

And the beast roars
Now is the moment I ask myself should I/can I
Dig in hold back, let loose hold on

Hard Thought Poem.....

Brick
I love to be loved.
I hate to be hated.
But in someways I am like a brick house.
When I have a bad day one brick is reduced.
When I have a good day one brick is increased.

Funeral

Remember the good times.
Remember the bad times.
We all have to suffer the hardship of a loss of another.
But remember them and take what the they have done well and use it.

Stability

I dream of a walkway.
A path that never ends.
I see a path to destruction behind me.
I also see a path to Stability.
I feel like the path to destruction is pulling me towards it.
But i am Stable so stability is pull also.
In the path to destruction i see anger, stress, and disbelief.
In the path to stability i see love, happiness,
and compassion with every one around me.
I pull myself away.
Away from all the hate.
Now i am Stable.

Thy to Forgive is to Change....

Thy to Forgive.
Is hard to achieve.
Thy you mother used excuse to explain here action for raping you.
Is hard to forgive.
Thinking that your mother would ever change.
Is hard to do.
Thy the evil is still at my feet.
Is hard to kick away.
Thy your mother raped you because she was using drugs.
Is hard to understand.
Thinking that you mother had no right to do what she did.
But by my understanding thy to forgive is to change.

The world crash upon me and yet I hold
despite the pain and trouble I stand firm
marching ever onwards in defiance of the cold
never yielding to defeats urgent call

spurred on by the hopes of better days
I stride on ever following the light
yet never fearing the night
struggle for I know if I don't I've already lost the fight

Poem: Dancing Twlight

Light and dark dance in twilight
Shadow and flame twist and turn
Each shone in beautiful contrast
Brighter bright, darker dark
flames in the night glow brighter and warmer
while shadows are darker 'n' cooler while light shines bright
