In the blink of an eye
the foundations to my world shift
I fall between the cracks
Not fearing the rift
Everything was a lie
I woke up from the past
A new day dawning
A spring in my step
A shift in my calling
I am no longer defined
by the me I was then
I have shifted past
Who I have been
I am awake
I have walked away
Finally I can say
Today is a new day
There's a twisted little lie
Everything will be all right
We tell ourselves to calm the storm
The truth that we can't speak
Is the body is truly weak
And in moments life can be torn
We tell these fancy tales
Ignore the distant wails
Of those lost to mourn
We are mortal, every one
Daydream, live in the sun
Ignore the pending storm
I stare into the bleak
The pain no one should seek
Mending the torn
Knowing everyday could be the last
Remembering the past
Someday we all will mourn
Why does it matter?
Why is it that my thoughts return to those moments
To those people who have long since left me behind?
Why is it that I lapse into yesteryear?
The faded sepia of the voices that have faded away
Lost in the background of memory.. Or perhaps unfinished?
Why can't I just move on?
There are days when I feel completely free
When I walk on and have no memory of the past
Then it comes climbing into my consciousness
Filling up the space with "what could have been".
Perhaps it's grieving in a way
Though they are not dead they are gone beyond me
If I reach out, there is no answer..
I'm a faded portion in their past
Perhaps a fad
The sum of whom we have loved by RangerAngel, literature
Literature
The sum of whom we have loved
Tears lick at my consciousness
A sick sensation of loss and understatement
A stream of weakness that lingers deep
Inside as the cracks form inside my mind...
I try to navigate away from the pain
A strain that torments my dreams with memories..
The thoughts of who I wanted to be
Who I am and who I longed to be with...
The swirling memories
Of those who have left their imprints upon my soul
A never ending stream of people whose very existence
I am still aware of, and whose light I can never escape..
When I close my eyes their whispers, heartbeats, hopes and dreams
swirl into my consciousness and for a mome
Ice shatters
As the freeze upon my lips is released..
A soft trickling of emotion slowly breaks free and I find myself
Aware
Alive
Awake...
The trickle of tears that had threatened to break loose is finally freed and I realize the sadness that I've kept, deep inside.
Always saying goodbye, when I long for hello
Always choosing what is best with nothing to show
Yet the selfish wishes and needs inside fill me with aches and pains
Losses that will never fully be explored
Reaching into those parts of my mind are probably not good
To explore them would be to allow them power over my psyche
Allow them free reig
Why does the sky seem to only cry
When I least feel it's need?
Why does the Sun cease to shine
When I long to feel it's radiance?
Why can't the moon illuminate my dreams?
Can the stars not see my tears?
Precarious my own vantage
Sees only my own perspective
but I long to feel for a moment
that at one brief instance in time..
I was all that mattered
Have you noticed
That soft sepia haze
off in the distance?
The chiming of a memory?
Have you sensed
the summers daze
sapping your resistance
to the soft sweet melody?
Calling back to the time
where things were once one
and dreams drifted softly past
Into the ocean of tomorrow
No reason nor rhyme
things left undone
everything slows time so vast
Drifting in unspoken sorrow
A golden light shimmers
pulling ever forward
as the leaves turn green from rust
and time moves on laughter twinkles through
Waking fast to current glimmers
the soul moves onward
like sands of time sorrow turns to dust
And soon all pain forgotten too..
History is of it's own essence
Reverberating back and forth
with the memories of where we are
and where we are going...
Aren't we all just memories of the cosmos?
An echo of the past and spoken promise to the future
Or perhaps we're just the faded dream
Of an obsolete expression
Perhaps the world could do it better
If we learned to stop assuming
But assumptions are all we seem to have
as the world falls again into corruption
Will civilization fall upon its own sword?
Or will we finally recognize where we belong
in the grand scheme of where history meets tomorrow
I hesitate to hope because the corruption is so deep
The power is not with t

I don’t want to fight
I want my half of you
Stare right in silver, stay right behind (or come on through)
I don’t know when comes
But I’ll keep turning stones
Be right beneath one, I’ll be right there (please be…)
For every time I flip another sixpence
The crows peck out my eyes before my hands
I’m running out of frames
Where I remember...
Holding one device
A purgeries’ forecastle
Steering my concerns, sterile and far
I don’t know what can
Make good from my escape
But blind men imagine, so I hear (will you…)
For every time I crest another breaker
The ice weighs down my arms before m
Rust and rashes close their ranks
Pips and passes slow to bank
While I am caterpillar
Gross my frontier saddlebag
With seeds I burnt and meat I hang
While I am cat’s eye ringed with lace
To look for autumn ice
Leaves and burrows brave the cold
With downy fur I wish you were
Pips and passed on chances go
While I am caterpillar
Teeth and tangles bite my flanks
Whips and whistles given thank
While I search for a pillar
Box of matches firmly placed
By brown bags tied and letters raised
While I play calico by post
And gamble all my finds
A solace made of twice-cut glass
Cruel by clear and even burr
I feel the turn has broke and passed
Fo
Despite the sash I tremble for Bare leaves on gold and grapes of gore I sit, I wait, I wonder, or Perhaps the better standby Fair knives would bare a single edge And daggers point the synods’ hedge So sit, so say with either or And let sweet colour fly The capes have cat tongues: gravitas In spit and slow-turned thalamus I shalt, I pray be kindred more Crustal than the eye

I Play My Final Card
I play the last card tomorrow the last card I was holding on to without really realising it it was the only idea that could keep me in this place the funny thing is I cannot play it for myself I have no skills or materials that are required so much like the joker in the pack I must be different I must play this card to someone else and see if they can use it in any meaningful way. I'd say my chips are down like poker but I feel like this is more monstrous than that so like Yu-gi-oh I summon monsters of ideas to use for battle and whilst I have lots of life points I'm out of moves I'm out of ideas and I'm out of cards my deck is empty there's nothing left to draw this is my last card. What type of card is it? You may ask well, it's a spell card it will allow me to leave the game only conceding a draw a draw in the battle of egos however it only works if it's the last card played in my entire deck. Why have a card like this? why play with this card? I play this card so that maybe
a delicate balance this life
wrestling happiness and regret
only love writes the pages
the heart cannot forget
dare we go
beyond where we've been
travel boldly distant
to the universe within
Here there and every where a bit of whimsy and a bit of dark it depends on the day, the time of the month and the way I see the world.
Above all else I have no real intention of giving away too much about myself. Poetry is anonymous in some ways and because I have a vested interest in keeping my private life private.
Not really anything else to say
Also, please do not feel the need to thank me for fav's.. I know that sometimes it can be overwhelming to thank people and I appreciate that so for those who I have fav'd you're very welcome.
