Sparkling Eyes

When we first spoke your eyes did sparkle,

And your smile could shine for miles.

  

I didn’t know that you would see in me,

Sweet things to fill 1000 files. 

  

Every time that I would tease you,

Your eyes lit up so bright.

  

But until it was too late, you see,

I didn’t see the light. 

  

But now I wish that you would kiss me,

And hold me in your arms. 

  

I just want to know you miss me,

I can't resist your charms.

Lost at Sea

Sometimes I feel lost,

Struggling with all that is thrown at me.

I can’t find the will or power to cope,

Can’t find my legs to stand.

    

My world is like the ocean,

Sometimes calm, sometimes stormy.

But the ocean changes from place to place,

And time to time.

   

My Sea was once calm, everywhere calm.

At times it was turbulent,

But if I sailed, I could find still waters.

Now there is nothing but storm.

   

When I was troubled,

It was easy to overcome.

I would sail to new seas until the storm subsided.

But now in my ocean, there is only tempest. 

     

There are no calm waters left.

Not peaceful, nor tranquil; nothing serene.

But not one large storm,

Many typhoons and tsunamis cover my world.

   

My ship has overturned.

My voyage is undone, leaving me drowning.

Every time I near the surface, a new wave hits me.

I am drowning again.

   

I try to find where I was, try to find safety.

I have lost my ship and I can’t see dry land.

Those safe places,

Just a dull memory.

   

I struggle against the torrents.

But it looks so easy to give up, easier not to care.

I want to keep fighting,

But I don’t remember why.

   

There is an inescapable wall of water.

I am lost at sea.

Ampoule Mundu Argi

The sun shines from the ceiling,

An incandescent globe of light.

It is a copy of true feeling,

Of the stars that shine so bright.

It blasts down energy and heat,

Mimicking the source of life.

The flickering marks its defeat.

Day is severed by lightning’s might.

[I know that this seems ridiculously pretentious, and it kinda is, but it was fun to write. Tell me what you think]

Equal Conflict

Honesty is confused with lies.

You do not wish to see the truth.

You think that I don’t understand,

That I can’t see what it’s like for you.

But I understand completely,

I feel the same way almost exactly.

  

Is it so hard to believe,

That I might be hurting to?

I hide my pain, but so do you.

You say that “we all are hurting”,

This is a fact, I am aware.

But every time you spit these words,

I feel, I know you do not care.

  

How can you tell me I don’t listen?

When I speak you do not hear.

I hear exactly what you’re saying,

With each word, afraid, in fear.

  

We’re fighting for the same conclusion.

Battle, equal, unvarying, cold.

With words we cut and hurt and maim.

This war, with words, we choose to mould.

  

But we must continue fighting.

Though our same cause, unchanged.  

Broken

How many wishes,

How many dreams,

How many hopes,

Can one girl shatter?

  

How much spirit,

How much essence,

How many souls,

Can one girl crush?

   

How much sway,

How much control,

How much power,

Can one girl hold?

  

How many boys,

How many loves,

How many hearts,

Can one girl break?

  

How many hopes can I shatter?

How many souls can I crush?

How much power do I hold?

How many hearts have I broken?

   

How many times can I do this to you?

Why must you forgive me?

Forever Falling

Fall my friend, fall.

With your wings you can’t fly,

Air’s breeze is gone.

Fall precious fall.

Nothing to hold you up,

Life pulls you low.

Fall dearest fall.

Not worth taking off now,

Nothing worthwhile.

  

Fall darling fall.

I see you plummet down,

Like all before.

Fall my love, fall.

Not here to protect you,

Not safe from harm.

Fall comrade, fall.

For a short time you fly,

Like all, you shall…

Fall, Fall, Fall.

You can’t fly forever.

In death you shall…

… Fall.
