poetry.

Here is my collection of poems I have written. Some were written with the intention of being put to choral music... they will get there eventually. As I write them, they will be first posted as a blog, and then added to this collection. These are MY words, so please respect that. If I see them turned into a song or something without my permission, I will hunt you down! :p

enjoy.

..f.i.r.e..
october 2010


peace cannot exist today.

flashing spires crisp-burn at your mind's desires.
you burn the house you build.
a voice

cries but evaporates into the flame.
such a shame.

passion exists at the core of the troublesome desperation.
i cannot lie.
i cannot die.

fire breathes through my heart.
my soul weeps at the sight of smoke,
burn.
crash.
flames. destroy. all you have made me to be.

::::the light i shall seek::::
september 2010

gods of sky speak a journey
of great truth and love they speak.

this is the light i shall seek:


there was a star whose light was faint
its glimmer reached:
tried
and failed.

i believe in this star
even when
i cannot see it's shine.

there was a maiden who could not speak
her song could not be heard:
not a sound
not a sound

i can hear the maiden sing
even when my ears
only hear the world.

there was a lake that was not clear
no reflection:
pure confusion
and murky water.

i shall seek the light of the star.
for it is not dim, it is only just growing.


i shall swim in the water
for it is not murky, it is abundant.


i shall sing the song of the maiden.
for she is not silent, her song is in the chamber of my heart.

gods of earth speak a journey
of great truth and love they speak.

this is the light i shall seek:

our eyes into stars
september 2010

who is this face that I see?
is it him?
is it me?

what is this darkness inside?
i feel the pain.
i start to cry...

who are You?!
faking all the words you say?
i can't believe your anger, you're running away

hide all your fears
deny all the scars

ashes turn to tears
and our eyes into stars

i can't believe you'd let go.
im sorry.
i can't be the writer of your books anymore...

if i were a tree
august 2010


if i were a tree i would think it rude you thinking you could use me for fire.
if i were a tree i would not grow because you asked me to, nor would i give fruit because you want me to.
if i were a tree i would not share my secrets of peace, patience, kindness, or spirit.
i would tell you to go away.

if i were the ocean i could never let you sail your ships.
if i were the ocean i would crash my waves against you, and make you afraid of me.
if i were the ocean i would rage with anger for what you did.
i would tell you to go away.

if i were the sun i would burn your skin so you would remember me.
if i were the sun i would blind your eyes so you couldn't see my pain.
if i were the sun i would not shine for you.
i would tell you to go away.

but

if i were human i wouldn't ignore you as the tree does.
if i were human i wouldn't resist you as the ocean does.
if i were human i wouldn't be vengeful as the sun is.
if i were human i would cry.
i would forgive you.
i would ask you to stay with me.

my heart:to yours
august 2010

sparkling waters
shining moon
waves leaping to shore
            These are the signs of my heart: to yours
flickering candle
misty cold meadow
an angel learning to soar
            These are the signs of my heart: to yours

breathe
            feel the sun lay gently on your cheek
dream
            I am here
            by your side
            take my hand
             the bright red horizon we shall seek…
O, awakening!
            when you open your eyes
            remember me:
sparkling waters
shining moon
flickering candle
misty cold meadow

my angel: I have learned to soar

            these are the signs of my heart: to yours

scribbled poems
july 2010

Stars birth and burst from the bliss of your thirsty heart.
Waves crash to the sound of chill grasping your lungs.
Clouds devour the glistening light behind your drowning eyes.
Souls collide as the Sun evolves into the touch of our lips.
