Forever Mine - Mash up poem written in high school

You are like my soul; a butterfly of a dream
Dark river-beds where the eternal thirst flows
And weariness follows, and the infinitive ache.

My soul is not satisfied that it has lost you
I have said that you sang in the wind, songs eternally in flight
And this is all.

In the distance, you sing, in the distance
And I am happy!
Happy that it's not true
Happy that you are forever mine

You Make me Feel...

(wrote this a while back)

...like I'm the only boy in the world...

Dead when you're away - mundanely trudging through the sludge of life
Alive when you're near - everyday obstacles are easily conquered

...like a million dollars...

Walking, talking cliches of destined, star-crossed lovers
Powerful enough to do as we please

...like it's us against the world...

We're fighting for Survival
In a place that doesn't want to be Saved

...things I find't know existed...

Words like Love and Trust never held such weight
My Desires and Experiences are NOTHING without you to share them with

...complete

The Ill-fated Katana of Destiny

Of all the things you could've said
I never imagined that
Never considered the way it would cut me to the core
Split clean through; not a single drop upon withdrawal

A beautiful weapon, we both agreed
Thoughtfully crafted and designed without malign intent
But powerful beyond reason
Especially if the bearer is improperly trained

All I can do is stare in awe
As your emotion shifts
Slipping from an ecstatic fury
Into that of a lost pup

I reach out for one last touch
A fleeting remembrance of all we had
All that is
And all that could've been

Flashing picture shows flood my vision
Until I can no longer see
But I knew this moment would come
So then why am I surprised?

Hate

A powerful word, most would agree
To start a war or restrict the free
It's easy to take if the justification is there
Or better yet, if you just don't care.

But when it's held like a dagger to the throat,
I hope to God I just don't choke
On the blood gurgling out like water from a spout
A red river of memories all spurting out.

But only happy ones of course,
The ones that make you want to scream and shout!

To escape the loud voices that fill my head
Confusing me to the point to where I wish I was dead
No longer afraid of the end I watch as the tunnel closes in
The light diminishes and I just can't seem to win


The race, it appears, I'll always lose
So desperate and lonely I remember the booze
But I know I can't choose such a terrible drug
Because it'll only make me feel as if I've caught a flu bug.

So then what else is there to be done?
But move on and try having a little fun
Which is always easier said then done.

So I sit here with all this knowledge flowing between my ears
And I just want to forget all these old fears
That I'd since buried but now seep to the surface
Making me loose my sense of purpose.

So again I cry out hoping someone will understand
That I've lost sight of the master plan,
The grand design, my place in all of this,
And all I want is to feel his sweet kiss
Just to forget about all of this.

Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine

Sticks and Stones

If you...

Call me a faggot - Your words won't pierce my shield
Break my leg - I'll remember how to walk
Watch me fail - I'll learn how to pick myself up
Push me too far - I'll push right back
Don't believe in me - He will

But if you drive a stake through my heart
I may as well be dust on the wind
Forever wandering and alone
With no one to ever catch hold
Of my loving heart
