The Not so silent night

Upon the silence of the night

The screamings of the fright

In a distance an hymn

Is it wicked whispers of the grim

To know it, I must

I stood up from the rest

Through the woods i fight

Damned wolves of the night

With bare hands and my might

To hear it, better right

Through all this Misery and Blight

I found it, alight

In the Darkness of the night

Music held me tight.

Village of Fog

Fog blankets over

The bleak, desolate village

Obscuring all sight

Softly Crying the First Time

You are finally free;

It is your first time.

You want to make it perfect.

“Mommy! I make pee!”

Monstrous

History was made;

a monstrous fame.

I'll never forget what he did.

I won't remember his name.

Every step

you take

pushes me

back.

I’m held

hopeless.

Waiting

Await the time,

Time the wait,

Don’t hesitate

Or hate

The wait.

Paper Heart pt. 3 (REPOST)

Origami, twist me, shape me

Into something beautiful.

But I suck at origami, so all I am is

A twisted piece of paper in the recycling,

never to be used again.

The shortness of breath

Begins with a quickening of the heartbeat

Starts with the joy or the thought of seeing a loved one.

Then the good natured anxiety that persues is later recognised for what it truly is.

The excitement of that first flush of realised love!

Secrets

You ask me time-and-time again,

are there things from you I hid?

My answer always remains the same,

but could it be that I did?

I tell you parts from my past,

just the scraps, the known facts.

It’s true though love, there’s more than that.

There are more parts to my past.

The pains from hell that come along

to haunt me ’till I too am gone.

The dancing figures lined in gold,

waving to my disfigured soul.

As I look on gold turns to rust,

and finally from rust to dust.

Flowing around me, forming a cage.

Just like the one concealing my rage.

Their laughter dies and all is still,

and then I know their heart is as well.

But through the pain and through it all,

they still will come with me.

At least until mine is as well.
