Influence Fading

You sway in a way

That fuels fire to my desire

But it might be wrong

Phoenix

For the hour we are together, my lifetime will be an hour, my world will consist of me and you, and the places where we go together.

When we part, I will die, and be reborn into my normal existence once again.

Write till you sleep

The true passions in life are the things you wake up wanting to do. When I write, I see inspiration in every thing I see. A street used to just be a street, a light just a light. Now they are battlegrounds and sunsets. People you pass by unnoticed are no longer strangers, they are all just unheard stories. Catches of conversation can impart emotion and past lifetimes untold. Everything now seems a little brighter, a little more colorful. The world is more full. Even dreams seem just a bit more vivid, more creative. It's like the child I once was has come out of hiding, feeble and neglected, scared of the pen proffered in my hand.


[if not for you, I would still feel like a child playing at being an adult, instead of an adult nurturing the true youth inside]

Compassionpit

Sometimes all it takes
Is to pluck a dream from our sleeping minds
Plant and nurture it a little with droplets of reality
And our whole world will appear to be just a little rosier.

Whispered Wail

You cry into your microphone

Pouring droplets into the patch cable

Speakers shudder with anguish

The air heaves with grief

My eardrums quiver in throes of despair

My brain wrenches in distress

My heart melts with sorrow

The tear that started in your eye trickles down my cheek

We no speak Americano

Your arms flail akimbo
Glowsticks clutched in hand flash in time with the strobing lights above
You never come close to hitting me
But the pain is real regardless

Best Friends Forever

We wear our smiles like masks

Hoping they will meld into our faces

That we will feel the expression they convey

We feel euphoria, 

The euphoria of friends and laughter,

It feels like an eternity.

I feel great and happy

I feel loved and secure

But it's nothing compared to the giggles I shared with you
