If Only It Was That Easy

The crumbling Berlin wall
     made me happy
      but Freedom
      is elusive
  jumps walls at will
  flips you the bird
dares you to catch her
  never takes sides

Goodbye Heart------

A rose----
My life----
Is wilting away----
Each petal that falls----
Floating to it's silent death----
Is a piece of my heart.

"despair"

sorrow like invisible foes
burst through
barriers torn down, barricades pulvrerished
exposing
anxieties, frailties
to the
ravaging plague like locusts
bursting through
stripping flesh from bones
harrowing prophecies of death, revenge, drunk on violence and blood
a chalice poisoned
by my screaming soul stripped bare from bone
a balzing flame in my tongue spitting curses and damnations,
praying for angels who never appeared
driven by
gales clashing in despairing cries, plunge to
the edge of the
horizon, to fall
from favour and promise
into
the depths of dank darkness.

Alone in the storm:

Nothing can hurt us,
We are safe,
We are warm,
We are protected,
And we are not alone.

The hatred stops at our door way,
The comments cease,
The pain finally ends,
The anger ebbs away,
And we are together.

Together in our happy home,
Where windows are latched,
Doors are bolted,
And the dogs are safely inside,
But the roof above us is leaking.

Tears come falling down on us,
We're drowning now,
In our warm, safe house,
Where we were once safe,
Now the tears will flow.

We thought nothing could hurt us,
But the storm is getting worse,
The lightening flashes,
The thunder rumbles,
Until the walls fall around us.

Because the safety we enjoyed,
Wasn't strong at all,
The warmth we felt at night,
Couldn't with stand the winter winds,
But we were once together.

Yet now our sanctuary is gone,
The hate is tumbling in,
The anger builds,
Resentment burns,
And the childish lies unfold.

So regretfully I let you go,
Curling into myself as I do,
Knowing the strength inside of me,
Is more than you'll ever know,
More than you thought possible.

Nothing can hurt me now.
I am safe and warm,
I am protected,
And yet I look around and find...
I am alone.

sadness

love, devotion, hatred and burden
wrapping their carelessnesses into forever.
you say
       Thanks
but I know deep in my soul that lurking in the deep, 
dark corners of a withered heart a small boy is crying.

The first taste
Scarlet drops sting my tongue
They stain my lips

Power, energy and excitement flow
From you to me
The life force transfers

Connected forever
By this unbreakable bond
A bond dripping in crimson

Something so unfamiliar
Yet so right
Innocence, in a sense

Considered unnatural
But truly, primal and instinctive
The taste of another's blood 
is the taste of their sex
Their life
Their heart
Their soul
