Shelter from the Storm
A bitter silence lashes out, Consuming
peaceful thoughts, Darkness overcomes the light, Tho' it struggles all
for naught...Misery maintains malice, Vengeance holds it's hand,
Temperance has no place here, Lest punished in remand...Unjust acts
prevail, Melancholy memories haunting, Wrath ferverently accepted,
Perilous pursuit undaunting... Contrition is nonexistant, Mistakes
without reform, Expression is the constant, Shelter from the storm.

Across The Pond?
"In the morn'
I deeply yearn for a bleak day.
Blueberry eyes
Glance at the Skies -
I want to be rhapsodized.
Hours of Seven
Pull me closer to Heaven.
Life whistles by like the flick of a wand:
Wishing to be across the pond.
A hoary heart
And a sharpened mind
Won't save me from Death's eternal dart.
I've treaded sorrow and shame;
Loved those that came
In Sheep clothing -
Wolves underneath, ever-loathing.
My Heart is ready...
To be held at a steady.
Life is for living
As Love for giving.
I call "shotgun" now,
No longer a pitiful bow.
We're all Fishes,
And the Water is almost gone
Somwhere... Across the Pond"

Faster Than the Speed of Light
My mind is full of
oddities,,,beautiful scenes,,,quiotic pleasures,,,it is a freeway stop
on the cosmic highway. Does anyone understand me?....i wonder....is
there anyone who thinks our waves could fiercely collide? I sit with so
many ideas, stirring in my mind, they meld together for other
purposes,,,i will take you on my journey if you have the requirements
of a beautiful mind,,,,will you ride with me,,like this is the last
moment in time? Will i find you or will you find me,,,,i know in my
deepest darkest heart parts that i am a lone wanderer in this
life,,,,,but in the distance i can see you, your sooo far away and i
can only make out your shape,,,,what a beautiful sight, im racing now,
im always racing after you,,,but you never seem to come any closer than
the horizon,,,maybe its just an optical illusion,,,,,hope keeps me
running and the pain i feel from the non stop chase lets me know that
yes,,,I AM STILL ALIVE!

**Heart**Shaped**Box**
I have a Box...its shaped like a heart.
Its quite differant than any other shape in the world....not a "Heart" but hearts desire.
It
has flows of Crimson and sometimes Black, following shadows it doesnt
want to come back. I call for it and return it must, from dreams and
corridors,and leftover space dust.
There are no binds keeping watch from attack...
Oh Box, Oh Box,of Crimson and Black.
Jingle Jingle of sorted keys,
falling down,
shattering below my knees,
Contents kept Sacred from watchful eyes.Curious of the desire inside,
Oh Box, Oh Box,of Crimson and Black,
Supersonicly you move on your desolate forsaken track,
Come here!!!Posthaste,
I offer you,
A Look Inside, its a breathtaking view,
Hidden down deep behind cracked caving walls,
through dust and dirt,your eyes not seeing at all,
A luminescent breeze of warm smooth air,
brushes your cheeck without a care,
Moments tick by but time has already stopped,
Hold tight those keys for thier sure to be dropped,
You run when you see the beauty inside,faster and faster,,your soul goes along for the ride,
Inhaling the breath of anothers soul,
Laughing to tears is your only goal, BUT...THEN
You hear a screeching halt,
As you realize, its your fault!
You know this Box is sacred to you,you've kept it hidden from all wanting view,
Smiles and Giggles erupt in fits,
Go
on, go on, tear it to bits, Nothing is heard, in this Heart Shaped Box
of Crimson and Black...i sealed it up, but i did make a plaque,it says
"STAY OUT OF MY HEART SHAPED BOX OF CRIMSON AND BLACK"

It was love at first sight to look upon your face
your lips, your nose, your little ten toes
You were just right
I couldnt have imagined something so amazing
nestled in my belly for nine months
The kicks, the pains, Im convinced it didnt happen in vain
There is nothing I wouldnt do for you
In the name of love you are my number one
It was love at first sight
To hold you for the first time
To feel your body so warm, snuggled against mines
To look into your eyes
and know that our hearts would be forever entwined
Your itty bitty body wiggles about
I see your future so bright
Whatever you become you will always have my support
I wouldnt change you for the world
My love for you is unconditional
Our bond is so tight Ill always remember
It was love at first sight
