Time Enough
There isn't a moment in the day
Where we can find ourselves without fear
There isn't a moment in the day
When we can escape from this world of lies
There isn't time
To do all the things that we plan
Not enough time in the day
To feel the sand
To feel the breeze
To feel the skies
Or the seas
Not enough days in the year
To love and mourn the ones
We've always held so dear
Please, please let me
Just for a day run and hide
But I know I have the courage
Deep down inside
There isn't enough time in the day
So give me just a moment to pray
I win this war within
Unnoticed
I danced with confusion tonight
Beneath a brilliant spectacle
Shuddering quietly as the sky
Exploded into a dazzling array of colours
I intently stared at your silhouetted profile
As you gazed up carelessly
You'll never know, never understand
You are oblivious
You don't see my outstretched hands
My, hungry looks
You brushed by me
I cannot exist in your world
Should you not have me
Open your arms to me
Welcome me
Please, don't forget me
Maelstrom
I stand, arms outstretched
Embracing only air
Poised on the brink of madness
Of despair, of hate, of grief
I walk on the edge of my own existence
Watching this mortal world
Fall far, far behind
Treading on the broken shards
Of a thousand crushed dreams
Waiting for the storm
To fill me with life
To leave me dead
I brush the silver thread of sanity
Of nothing
It does not break
I scream
I scream for a hundred thousand years
Heard by no one
I this vacuum of bleak enlightenment
Where only I walk
Untitled
A sound in the dark,
A scream from afar,
Nightmare not over,
An unhealed scar.
Flashes and snatches,
Memory half-gone.
Glimpse of a shadow,
Stifle a yawn.
When did my pain
Become so mundane?
In this fateful hour
I have no more power
But still I don't care.
