Chanter
Moon lantern; adjusting as to swing to the banter
Missing such sight’s to
Swearing such might would not be used to my
Dimming whatever is seen by any
Love show’s up in strangest way’s
it’s not always another
Sometimes in your own faith in yourself and your thoughts and the way
You cannot master destiny in the course of one day
It take’s time
It takes faith
It takes courage to be brave
For the element’s are tough
You cannot choose when it rain's

Your Vacancy
You say you gotta leave me,
So that I can see,
who I need to be.
How am I, supposed to know my own destiny?
No, you walked away because you were too scared to stay!
You didn’t want to be the reason,
That I didn’t make it to the next season.
You didn’t want to be there,
If the time came near,
For when I began to collapse!
You couldn’t be the one,
to have the cold of winter,
cast down, with my fall.
Well, let me tell you what really happened,
Your leaving,
was harsher than any weather,
Of all the seasons.
Your leaving,
caused a disrupt in my nature.
With your sudden absence,
Came a quake,
It rattled me so hard,
broke me to my knees.
My heart cracked,
And, it’s all your fault!
The tsunami was quick to follow,
Coming from the darkest depths of ocean,
no man has ever known!
Towering with emotions unknown,
Above the flood walls I built for my protection,
Swept me off my feet,
And devastated all my comforts built inside that home!
Your unforeseen change in atmosphere,
Hit me like a hurricane!
It’s a tragedy,
The way these disasters
have scattered me!
Out of my control,
The strong winds ripped me apart and tore away my soul!
Because, I gave you all that I had left!
Leaving me to myself,
isn’t you saving me!
Now, that I’m left with nothing,
but my own devices,
feeling lost at sea,
Im drowning in the places people cannot see,
No search can rescue me!
Keep that in store,
For you’re about to receive something truly profound.
Since, living without a heart and a broken soul,
Is like,
Being here,
but gone.
Not dead,
But barely breathing.
With you not around,
I cannot be truly found.
And, That kind of vanquishment,
Is worse,
than any of life’s eternal banishments!
Together Forever
Before you,
There was only hurt.
It lurked within the shadows of my heart.
All love and happiness,
Sound asleep.
Cast down into a nightmare,
Where my cries of emotion,
Could not be heard,
And only contained the tears,
I could not weep.
Tirelessly,
I was single-handedly,
held captive,
In this eternal sleep.
Yet, as my mortality clock rested closer to my demise,
The heavens opened-up,
Right before my eyes!
Offering a welcoming-hand,
And a soft whisper.
I strained to hear,
The angels sing.
With no time to sleep on it,
I took the opportunity,
And began listening.
Soon, I awoke,
Gazing into the brilliant brown eyes
Captivating me,
From the blessing,
Of the most Gorgeous girl,
I ever did see!
She parted me back together,
With the whole-hearted compassion radiating from her chest.
The walls fell down,
My passion and enjoyment looked up,
As my emotions went on the rise,
My cup filled up!
Now, with a full container,
I can now attain her!
The girl of my wildest dreams!
The match between us,
Has no compare.
It strikes the most ablaze flame,
That ignites a fire,
Capable to burn in,
Any of the hardest rain!
What once felt like hail,
I was sufferin’,
Until, my Catherine,
Snuffed out all the pain!
Thus, proving grounds,
Whether in sunshine or rain,
We stand together,
And forever we will remain!
The Company You Keep
Now, you have your likes and your numbers.
The followers' company that you've always counted on.
And I'm left counting the following association,
Where you seek the likes of me.
But, you've acquired the reverent relations you sought.
Are your companions really genuine?
Or are these affiliations something that is bought?
Under the aegis of forged fabrications?
Sometimes, I wonder if you still feel unaccompanied.
Or if you are sacrificing your authenticity.
Do you ever miss me?
Or are these prodigious people efficient?
Why is it that my coalition,
Is so deficient?
Why are our meetings kept in secret?
Am I only met to satisfy a kiss?
Because here I lie, in wake of these questions.
While you deny the truth from those that question.
Now I ask for true love,
And you assure me with the same undeniable question.
Yet, for some reason,
I feel like the only one breaking.
Without rest,
I'm relentlessly trying to pick up the pieces of my aching heart.
Because I'm wide awake with my hurting insomnia.
While you're falling sound asleep,
With a sound mind
and a restful heart.
The Frame and What Falls Outside
Salvaged from the wreckage lot,
She was
Taken by surprise...
It had been her full intention to
Be left alone
To die...
...Frozen in suspension,
Wondered if her twin had
Felt
A tickle of uncertainty,
As her exposed hand
Was dealt.
"What's happening to
Tina?...
...What's cruising through
My veins?..."
Sunset on the patio...
...Suddenly the hall
Phone rang...
"I saw her grasping at
Some blobs...
...And then...
All I seen was black..."
Salvaged from the
Gangplank...
...Dumped!...
I'd die to
Bring
Her back.

Sacrifices
Everywhere I go
I am reminded
Of what I sacrificed:
My happiness for yours.
I guess I should've known
You only chose to be with me
Because she was dating someone else.
I was your second option until she
Became available and that took a long time
Because she is a beautiful woman
With an intelligent mind.
I vowed to love you and I always will,
If she breaks your heart: I am here.
I just wanted to see you happy, so I
Knew I had to let go of old customs
And relationships.
