Slowly we travel the water,
silly creatures of the deep,
wandering through the underwater oasis,
to the dragon’s keep.
There you may find me,
as I wander the sea,
listening to the sounds of the waves,
and how the people above behave.
Can you hear my whistle blow,
for it is you that I call,
for who that bell doth toll,
me who else.
Creeping death awaits everyone,
Loneliness shrouds everything,
why me he asks?
Because you are alone he adds!
Lonely heart,
Sleep well tonight,
for the shadows that haunt you,
Shall hide from the light.
Lonely heart,
throw away your fright,
become demons of pleasure,
Oh that would be a sight.

S and M
Masterful is the season to which we belong,
angels strung from high above,
singing a faint lullaby,
teeming with brilliance,
every pore bringing it together,
running through the puddles of life.
another reason for life
never brought to mind
deemed never perfect by those who cant see
Sorrowful meanings to bring to an end
least of all those of us around you
another tear runs down her face
vexing away the problems
everyday casting them away
``````````````````````````````````````````````
bright sunshine on her face shadows the worries away
everything is glimmering
longing to be with her
only those she sees fit
never those she deems unfit
go to be with her
Together along with her
every breath that they may take.
When I wake up and see your smiling face,
Brushed hair shinin in the sunlight,
Skin flushed and red to the touch,
Ravaged in the night,
By the beating of our simple hearts delight,
Sleeping in my arms,
Squeezing tightly to hear your heartbeat,
Faster and faster it goes,
Beat after glorious beat,
Throbbing in your tiny heart,
Recurring softly in your dreams,
My image runs through your head.
Your eyes open,
I kiss you softly on your lips,
Pressing my body against yours,
We meld together like molten metal.
Twisting in my arms,
Passionately you come to me,
Flowing hair tangled in the bright,
Light of the sun,
Being one as we are,
Twisting like two shooting comets across the sky,
Coming towards the moon at an alarming rate,
Shall we live together as one we ask each other passionately?
Should we join forces as one?
Bringing our love together,
Consecrating that one body is better than two,
Can both minds work as one?
Who knows they say?
But to release oneself to be a partner,
Then you are not only immersed as one,
Possessing the quality of not being selfish.
In our dreams,
We are safe and warm,
As it seems rocky,
Yet it is calm.
It is in your dreams,
That you will find me,
Your breath may disappear,
But I will there to protect you from harm.

“Worlds Apart”
Could you ever imagine we would be worlds apart?
I never could,
Listless wonders of the world surround me,
That you never dreamed I would see,
The powers that I have to reach the distance,
Could never be the same as we are worlds apart.
Could you see it mother?
Could you ever dream to be here?
Your little boy has grown to be a man,
Traveling the world to bring a brighter future,
So that everyone could be safe and warm,
Did you ever dream that we would be worlds apart?
Take your time,
For I will always be here,
Forever in your heart,
And nothing will be the same this time.
Being as not to what we are,
Trying to be what you always wanted me to be,
I have grown,
From the young man you once knew,
To a father so proud and true,
Can you believe we are worlds apart?
Living our lives from day to day,
Sailing on the seas so far away,
Listen to me as I say,
We will never be worlds apart,
Because I know I will always be close to your heart.
Mother, can you hear me, I am calling you,
Across the worlds we will see,
The things they call reality,
Do you believe that we could be worlds apart?
I don’t because you will always be in this heart.

Shadows of a world that has been left behind,
Deep disturbing thoughts that you can not hide,
Slide from your world of thoughtless dreams,
Into the great void or so it seems,
Lacking in a forgotten touch,
Seeming as though you need too much,
Lustfully proven to hold one that is dear,
Cruising around the void is what you fear,
Twisting corners of darkness rush,
To meet ones self in a silent hush,
Talking to a shattered mirror where one can hide,
All the darkest parts hid deep inside,
Landing on two feet is all you can do,
To live each day in this hullabaloo,
Live as though your life depends on it,
For if you don’t what is it worth.

The Urchin
Deprivation of his earliest childhood memories,
Boarded up in some lost boys colony,
Drifting from house to home,
Lost is the birth that brought so much joy.
Shrouded in clothes of unknown fabric,
Mix matched through the years,
Shunned by a society that often forgets,
He begs for forgiveness,
That none but himself shall give.
Roaming apart from the masses of life,
Searching for his one final place to call home,
He finds himself sheltered in the rain,
By a lonely piece of cardboard lightly tossed away,
Soaking away all of his pain,
Of the hand that he has been dealt,
By the luck of the cards that turned to pure agony.
His eyes have shrunk into his face,
By the lack of comprehension that he life is meaningless.
He is the urchin you walk by,
He is the person that you don’t eye,
And why?,
I s he not just like you in every other way?,
Does he not breathe?
Does he not talk?
Does he not love?
Just ask and see,
He will tell you the tale,
Of how he loved and lost and found again,
Of the troubles that have befallen him,
So that you may take pity? NO!!!!
Just so you may make the choices to help save your life!
Because he is the Urchin!
