"Balancing Black"

Everyone is looking for someone...

Or something...

Sometimes we find ourselves in the spaces in between

We dream and dream...

And confusion plays with our fragile thoughts in our mind

Suddenly, reality becomes the dream

The fight that we are fighting becomes so much bigger than the people having it

We are finally able to flee the darkness that is holding us back

We pick ourselves up

And dust off the dirt of the past

We look straight ahead

But we still waiver

In broken moments...

Our imagination pulls us back in

Shattering all trivial events, feeling, and emotions like glass

We know that we should watch our step

To avoid and eliminate the pain

But our tears catch the sharp edges

Captivating our foolish hearts into believing that we deserve nothing more than unhappiness

To be forever lost and alone...

Balancing the heavy blackness.

"Done Waiting..."

It all seems to start with a claim...

A title...

Or a name...

Two players want to play the never-ending game

Empty actions distract you from true intentions

This kind of pain and heartache only causes you to lose hope in love

Anger pulls...

And jealousy blinds you with illusions

But my mind is not your mind

My actions have been nothing but true

No deception, lies, or mistrust

The space between us cannot be ignored

But all the same...

Does the emptiness beg to be filled with a broken heart?

Because mine is not too keen on breaking

So why does it have to come down to this?

We are not children

And games are meant to be played upon a board

So stop gambling with my emotions

And playing games with my heart

Because I am simply done...

Waiting...

"A Different Day"

Gently within the casting shadows

We see a soft dim light break

The image of you lingers within the memory of our sight

As our senses hold onto you-their last indulgence

Each day seems to draw out a little longer

Moments are recalled during those times when the suns last rays go down in the far west

Where the warm beating sun meets the calm blue horizon

And the flame of remembrance still burns bright and true

Some day we will figure out the seasons of our lives

Because there is a time for the grief of love that has no place to go

Even though we may falter sometimes to remember those who have left

They are never truly gone

They stay with us always

Ingrained within our daily lives

Helping us...

Holding us...

Guiding us through...

"One Of Those Moments"

Steadily you wander down the lonely track of life

With one foot in front of the other

The direction is unknown

Time waits for no being

But here...

These moments linger briefly in the warm sun filled days of early July

Senses are abandoned to the vast surroundings

Imagination runs free

Held tightly by fierce convictions

Your soul is filled with yearning

Everything is in a moment

Change is every where

In a single second

This is the closest a being could get to perfection

Then blinking...

With the swift uplifting wind...

Disappearing just as easily.
