Flood of Hope~ Nothing quite compares
to the beauty of the rain
that crowns me in hope
and carries me away
into another world
where I feel so free
from this broken land
and haunted jubilees.
In the dreary night,
I can hear them sing
of the trifling rain
that this nature brings
and it makes me mad
knowing that they rebuke
this lovely thing called rain
that serves as my refuge.
Under it's healing touch,
my soul is at eternal ease.
Scars of shame disappear
like black holes in the galaxy.
Since my darkness fell
to the power of the rain,
everything is brighter within
and I've never been the same. ~

:: Lonely Consequence ::Forgive and forget...

Or forever

Regret. . .

To contain them...Words are but emotion, finally contained.

Beaten, bruised, and bloody
Can't somebody help?

RecollectionThe bed sheets were too soft for her—made her feel weak. She tossed the sheets off and piled furs atop herself to ward off the cool night air. The prickly feeling of the leather and hair made her feel home, made her feel calm. A heavy breeze blew into the bedchamber bringing with it the smell of the fruit garden down below. The smell of peaches and oranges never appealed to her anywhere, she turns over onto her side and empties her mind.
Memories came flooding back in as they often do at night. Long lost recollections and ideas better worth forgetting. One memory proved stubborn though, she tried to dislodge it, but still it remained to play in her mind.
It was summer, years ago back home to the north. He was handsome, a man with a rogue’s beard and grin, adorned with gold chains and necklaces, rings and the such made him stick out in this drab northern city. The man looked confused as he tried to get someone to stop so he could ask questions. None stopped, some even callin

December 21stHands held tight
While the earth takes flight,
Steep plunge and scarring red
Molten screams
Lucid dream
Choking flames and acid sky
Clouded by salt tears
Last loving smile
Before the abyss eats us whole.

No.

Champagne laughter, whirlwind music, collective happy sigh
Stoke the embers
Mark the year
And breathing starts again.

But sometimes
I wish the world would end.

Angels Angels
______

When Angels care to dance , on life we take a chance ,
Try what we think is true , and risk all like a fool .

When Angels sleep to rest , our life remains a test ,
On trusting what is just, and who that we can trust .

When Angels touch our hearts, in life we must depart,
In knowledge that we know ,our journey soon will grow .

When Angels choose to leave , it's time for us to grieve ,
Our time on earth is done , and loved ones will be numb.

Story of My Life (abridged)One tall mountain, no easy climb.

IDIdentification
Is lost.
Submerging the solid stares,
Motionless.
In direct sunlight,
The air is a thick
Barrier
Halting,
Any give away.
Can't you see it's me
Without an ID?
Your eyes only detect
Plastic and Ink.
I'm easily faded out
Of this world,
So strange and monitored
With buildings full of ghosts,
Like me.
Except they truly cry
To be turned back into a tight
Flat
Surface.
A faceplate,
Devoid of humanity,
And any vivid being that could spring forth
With radiant originality,
And short circuit the system
Through instantaneous shock.
Igniting the scanners
With flames of open vision.
Remember the flesh, tone,
And soul.
Can't you see it's me
Without an ID?
Or can your eyes only detect,
Plastic and Ink?

Thirteen YearsWill I ever see you again?

Will I ever walk along your corridors,
sit in your classrooms or dash across your fields?
Will my feet ever tread your tiled floors?
Will my fingers ever brush against your weary walls?
Will I get another chance to listen to your teachers
or wear the navy uniform with a heart full of pride?
Will I ever sing the school anthem from the bleachers?
Will my head ever be filled with thoughts of you again?

The walls have kept my secrets,
faithfully guarding them for thirteen years.
The mirrors have noted my every expression,
witnessing the best and the worst of my days.
The windows have captured each and every

Depart To The SunshineJust as the eyes of mine heart begin to see
just how much I truly love thee.

Thou departest to the sunshine to walk upon it's golden beams
and dwell in a castle of dreams.

To walk upon distant shores
and bathe in the oceans shallow shoals.

Flying away on wings of steel
knowing not that my heart you steal.

Thou departest to the sunshine,
leaving naught behind but memories divine.

Finally, good-bye I shall not say
for you may yet again pass my way.

So here I will await, till it is
decided by fate.

Until then fly away to your dreams and
into the sunshine's golden beams.

200 Plastic StrawsTwo-hundred plastic straws
are scattered on my floor.
They haven't moved an inch
from where I dropped them there before.

A multi-colored frenzy
is dancing on my tiles.
Ghosts long past
come flying back
to stay there for a while.

The straws slipped through my fingers
and so, they all tapped down
like the movement of a second hand,
eternity, an hour.

They fell away, as does the past,
so pick up every piece.
Throw it away or use it well,
or its dance will never cease.

Two hundred plastic straws,
or at least, that's how it was.
Now a hundred ninety-nine lay there,
a pink one in my glass.

*Skeleton Leaf*Skeletons in garden rubbish
Hard to believe they did flourish
Fallen leaves, surrounding trees
Gentle patterns blown in breeze.

Delicate vision of lacy leaf
Looked in amazment, disbelief
Beautiful, belonging to yesteryear
Nature at work, have no fear.

Time to lite, clear the ground
Smoke filled eyes as flames abound
Nature's magic has come full circle
'Till spring appears, thinking Myrtle.

Place of Not-MeClosed behind my sight
Wrapped inside my very thoughts
I become all I can sense
And I sense all that is

I am the acrylic rain
That restlessly stands still
That shatters me to pieces
Into dust and stars far gone

All's realised through me
Existence cheated by impossibility
Its plastic darkness spreads
And fills my conscious awareness

And veins so cold and slow
Bleed in this place of not-me
I stay but cannot remain
My comprehension overloaded
My mind stretched to infinity

I can be no more

Angel Sighs

Literature / Poetry / Narrative / Traditional Fixed Forms

Wings fluttering high above.
Oh what she can see!
No corruption and chaos.
Beauty before the eye.

She soar and soars,
High as the clouds,
Seeing what others
Only can dream.

Landing on a ledge,
By water, by sea,
Is when she gazes
Down at true beauty.

The heavens part
And she can view
For miles what any
Painter can't achieve.

Folding her wings
She escapes in peace,
Serenity at her new world.

For when an angel sighs,
The world sighs with.
