.......Rhythmic Autumn Hue ( September 22, 2008).......

I slowly draw in deeply my breath,
Channeling the energy laid out before me,
Its warmth is ever intoxicating,
Allowing me a slice of the eternal joy.

I carefully open my heavy laden lids,
Scene grande, vast, before me bursting full of all
Colors, sounds, textures, of life,
It brings forth inspiration by divine call.

MY heart begins to flutter overwhelmed,
Lifelong personal questions come out in bright,
The ones who tug constantly without rest,
In this grande Portrait the answers are in sight.

A cool breeze then plays at my features,
Welcome after the long liv'ed phase's heat,
The world is again turning its wheel,
Ever tuning its life into the new found beat.

The green, luchious sea will vanish soon as well,
The perfume gifted by these colors will die,
All these magical elements born in view,
Will wither under my heavy lidded eye.

Through the deadly withers the energy stays,
Its light will cast a different decadent hue,
As it slowly begins the painting of new notes,
Ever waiting to showcase its Portrait beat new.

To have us meekly come, as now am I,
As I revel in this now buzzing, chirping, green,
To return in time to this very high ledge,
And gaze down to take in the beauty to be seen.

The new rhythm will crunch, sway, and hoot,
The bright, green paints will be then covered with reds bold,
The trees will be gifted with rich gold jewels,
So before death their greatest beauty we can behold.

But the world again calls me back down,
Away from this grande, breathtaking magical scene,
Back to exhaust, rings, beeps, and pavement grey,
From the most colorful, inspiring place I've been,
Back to the dictating words of the narrow,
I'll soon return to break from that world's cold routine.

.......Fool Me Twice... (September 11, 2008).......

Thank God for the difference,
You stopped being bad,
Threw out all that pettiness,
And now cherish the good times we had.

I tell all the Others,
Of how you've changed,
They tell me you've fooled me,
And to believe you I'm deranged.

I continue as your champion,
Putting all complaints/warnings aside,
Forgetting all past wrongs you've done me,
And taking a strong stance at your side.

Others keep going with warnings,
But I refuse to see,
Little did I realize,
You once again had turned on me.

Your change had been an act,
I surely should've known,
That through the dirt you'd run my name,
And as a person you hadn't even grown.

You're beyond the scope of my reason,
You think you've hidden your evil so well,
But, know this, next time you come to me,
I'll hold my head high and tell you to go to hell.

.......Power and Drive Within (April 18, 2008)........

World on hold,
Self charging,
Ever bold,
To obtain drive.

Drive I must,
Obtain because,
Vicotry I lust,
But the skill I've not.

Times pass
By I search,
Look through each glass,
Where can I learn?

Each attempt fails,
Confusion prospers,
Not a happy tale,
Yet I'll not give up.

One more try,
Till it ends,
My task unfinished,
I have it not in me.

Pen to paper thus,
Each thought steady, strong,
Complete this I must,
Eyes open to brilliance,
All along it was with me.

.......Failed Grip for Power (July 19, 2008)........

Place a beggar,
With clothes rich,
Now he's a nobleman,
Not a dweller of the ditch.

Take a child,
As pure as lily,
Call them a demon,
And into hell fire they'll be.

Enter a genius shy,
With bullies constantly mix,
Teacher pets will take a gun,
Suicide is now in their bag of tricks.

People see us as they wish,
Ignorance is to blame,
Those with the scent of weakness,
Will get thrown into the game.

It's beyond disgusting,
That people's own flaws,
Keep them producing misery,
Pride/Denial bring out their claws.

Dig into me,
I'll not care,
Call me worthless,
From me you'll get a pity stare,
For my inner shade I love,
And change it—I wouldn't dare.

.......An Invitation to Be (July 21, 2008).......

Void ever 'round,
Cold as Ice,
Though I'm fooling you,
With an armor of nice.

Time ever rolls,
Changing my state,
Can I find warmth,
Or is it too late?

Nervousness never rare,
Deep breath inside,
Is this a person,
I can truly show what I hide?

Guard ever intact,
Though chips now in sight,
Pouring pieces of my secret soul,
You're turning that darkness to light.
