Looming

There's a shadow that follows
Around every corner 
It grows with the light
And stretches with the dusk
When darkness settles
The shadow looms
Like the green giant
Over a new born sprout

Your Emptiness; My Despair

While I'm missing you
You're missing her
Faceless, nameless
Couldn't be bother with your heart's content.
Only cares where you sign
Dotted Line
And the next time you'll return.
Feels so cold
In your embrace
A nobody in my place
That you dream of now instead.
She'll scream your name
If you place
A credit line
To pay for her next expense.
We drift apart
Can't be whole
Argue tomorrow
Because you're no longer mine.
The energy you commit to it
Instead of time, to build what is
Lost in space, so meaningless
When you turn back it's nothing but 
Emptiness.
I'll be gone built a life
That could, should, would be yours
But in place
You took a short turn road
For a taste
Of 30 seconds of pointless bliss.

Perspective

Humming birds flutter a graceful dance;
Shockwaves unravelling the queen ant's nest.

New trends, must have, millions;
A child laborer's blistered hands.

Rainstorms quenching dry parched horizon;
Mudslide buries the endangered species land. 

Disassociated

Wide-eyed, non-blinking lied to
In the face, with a smile
Brushed aside
As if just another moment in time

Lost in space
Out of Place
Can't escape
A world that's superficially mine

Won't relate
Or incorporate
Or let me be
all that I am as part of you

Spoken to
Like a child
My importance, non-chalance
Not intended to be made whole

Reminiscing

Day by Day the air grows colder
Night after Night the shadows stretch further
Moment by Moment this heart grows weaker
Wondering why it ever wanted to feel again


The childhood grin outgrown by yesterdays
Hopes and dreams of tomorrow died with good byes
Believing in goodness of humanity
Still clenched by innocent naivety


Why has love become a nonchalance
Cast aside like it doesn't matter
When did the butterflies flutter away
So the hearts of this world won't feel again



Last Night's Demon Chasing Me

Open wide, demon face
Down the rabbit hole esophagus
Into a fiery burning hell
That Echos
Magnetic pulls, delusions
Very convincing to follow
Not today, not tomorrow
Cannot drown my sorrows
Cannot steal my soul
