The Marriage

Call it a good marriage
For noone ever questioned
Her warmth, his masculinity,
Their interlocking views

Call it a good marriage
They never fought in public
They acted cordially and faced the world with pride
Behind closed doors was another story
No one knew how they really lived

Both were suffering deeply; the agonizing loss of their child
A child who had not yet lived to see the dawn of day and died quietly in its sleep

The gut-wrenching sorrow like darkness shrouded around her heart squeezing in a vice like grip
The haunting banshee wail rising from its tip; the outpour of rage buried from within

Broken glass, shredded walls, torn up furniture, screams and shouts, blood flying Chaos and torture streamed out,  yet on the outside they always made sure to construct the mask so that no cracks or chips may reveal the dark and tragic ghostly past

Her eyes gleamed of happiness and mirth But stare too long, and a bystander might recognize the zombie in her place

A dead soul still trapped and forced to live on in life
A heart still beating even though dead inside
Wanting to die yet living each day
is a fate worse off than death

Call it a good marriage; looking out from within
It's an entirely different story
A hell on earth though no one would ever know
The tragic story of the two lovers whose lives were torn apart

They say something snapped within them one day
The dam just overloaded and burst
The wife found her husband hanging from a noose
A note left on the floor
The wife took her own life with Polonium and a knife
A few words added to the faded message for the world to know

No one even knew they were gone; they seemingly vanished from view
Until one brave soul dared to enter their home
And was shocked at the macabre scene
two dead decomposing skeletons hands intertwined
Each in an eternal embrace
The fine hand script on the worn out paper
faded but still clear
Reminiscent of Edgar Poe's echoing haunting lament;

"Nevermore, Nevermore"

Curled up Endings

I sat up waiting
for the night to change
with just a blanket of stars
and an imagination.

Some nights are darkness
that never end

until morning
sprinkles shards of light
through accidental cracks
and warms caramel skin

a stranger to Spring

like daffodils too close
to the sun, wilted,
on willow days
when the furthest thing
from my mind

was love,

but still,
I dreamt it, lived it in pages,
brown around the edges,
torn, curled up endings
too good to be true.

Moons were always too far away;
too blue to touch
serenading all those stars.
but, he;

he struck a chord
on a backwards day
and the fourth finger answered
what lips couldn't
in July

when everything was golden

like those daffodils
way back when.

So Far Away

It seems you have a life, somewhat stolen
Each and every blink of your eyes remind us
That our hearts have become swollen
I don't blame you for your distrust

People stare, uncomprehending 
It's not fair, it's just another gift
Going through life, defending
You can't understand, your mind adrift

Don't be scared, take my hand
I will be your friend, in this neverland
I know how you feel, alone and afraid
We are different, in our own lives we've made

It takes one to know one, they all said
I can't imagine the thoughts, running through your head
Too much is left undone, this wasn't your choice
So don't feel as if you don't have a voice

Only you know, how it feels
To be laughed at, ridiculed, day and night
Your beautiful smile, the pain it heals
Hoping for once, it will bring you light

Go ahead, and enjoy your life
It's the one you were given, no matter the strife
Just remember, you are a truly special one
And I want you to know that, before this poem is done

Some say you're crazy, some feel your pain
But they can't read your mind, standing in the rain
Their guilt doesn't phase you, you are too strong
Live a happy life, and may it be long

Even if your time is cut short, keep in mind
Love is shared, from my heart to yours
No matter what everyone thinks, forget them
You are unique, no need to condemn

So far away, I  wish you well
For you are lost, in this never ending spell
As time goes on, you will understand
Why you were made this way, socially banned

Titanic Love

The first time I set eyes on you,
My life changed instantly, I knew
Your starry eyes were shining bright
In darkness you showed me the light

With hearts as pure as the ocean
We vowed to love in devotion
And then we couldn't be apart
Like two souls who are joined at heart

With our love nothing was too high,
We kissed and without wings we'd fly.          
Oh heavens had not seen such love
If only we could stay above

But rough winds blew and we fell down
In shoreless love we had to drown
Deep in the abyss in one blink,
Our ship of love was doomed to sink

And now my heart mourns as it does
For the best love that ever was

Language of Love

Building sand castles of reality,
sure they are pretty, till breezes blow strong.
Rainfalls demolish landscapes around seas,
though lasting love is the shelter hearts long.

Thinking of you is singing a new song,
being with you, fulfills sweet strength in me.
Not being with you each day feels so wrong,
I’m flooded with thoughts of being lonely.

I understand my angel could soar free,
but within my dreams she feels she belongs.
Cupid found her within my destiny,
I’ll have to wait for this ache to be gone.

Burdens weigh on me from dusk until dawn,
though I breathe life through your eyes of beauty.

You restore my soul to love once again,
for I’d live to die in your arms of care.
Breath-taking kiss, with words on a whim,
moments to lifetimes of love we both share.

Each beat to your heart is lovely to hear,
my love, I’m glad that you are him.
Blessed are my dreams to remotely compare,
in your eyes of love I’ll forever swim.

Bathe in the red sea to wash away sin,
swim seven shores, so you’ll know I’m sincere.
Melodies sing under silky soft skin, my life,
for your love, your burdens I’ll bear.

When you cry, I’ll catch every lonely tear,
as you grace me with your sweet love within.

Fix Me

Those cold eyes,

Staring at me,

Dark and terrifying,

Who's could they be?

The screen widens,

A pale white face,

Long, with a frown,

My heart starts to race.

It's a mirror;

My reflection

So unfamiliar,

No emotion.

How did I become

My worst nightmare?

Haunting the living,

It's too much to bare.

I back away,

And sink to the floor;

Head in my hands

Don't want to see any more.

You broke me,

Now fix me;

Get it out,

I'm ready.

The Dream

I dreamed of you last night,
You liked me back, in there.
Our arms were locked so tight,
You always met my loving stare.

I dreamt of nothing else,
King, you are, of my mind,
Of my heart and soul as well,
But after the Great Divine.

I wish you were close to me,
But far you always are,
Whether I drown in a tear-made sea,
Or wish upon a star.

I shouldn't be jealous,
You aren't even mine.
I try to ignore you,
Then all I do is think about you.

I smile when I feel like crying,
I try to act like I'm fine.
I’m really falling apart inside,
The one person that can’t see that is you

The painful moment after I woke,
I sat up dizzily in your bed,
Such dreams cause hurt and bring no hope,
Living always only in my head.

Dark Heart

The dark is covered in arches of red.
Sadness and anger seem to feel my head.
Pain and suffering lives a long time.
These things are hard to push out of my mind.

One sided emotions controlled by my heart.
I feel alone as I walk in the dark.
I search and I search for the light of love.
Pure light like the sun from above.

I can not see and there is no light in sight.
No matter how I struggle it seems I can't win this fight.
I'll never give up so I'll continue to search.
To find the light for which my heart hurts.

Should I live in the darkness until the end? Or does someone with a light want to jump in?

The Sea and its Shore

In the woods catching leaves
As they fall on your head,
When you feel a little tired,
Curling up in bed,
Seeing a painting so enchanting
You just stand there and stare,
Talking deep to a friend
Emotions laid bare.

Mist on a lake,
One single cloud in the sky,
Storm rolling across the ocean,
The things that make you wonder why,

Somethings are beautiful,
Somethings make you smile,
You are all those things and more
I miss you more than a sea
Could ever miss its shore

Back To Chelsea

It isn't natural for a Chelsea man
To be surrounded by all this sand
To fear the echoes of live rounds
And to never sleep when the sun goes down
So I'm writing you this letter
To say I miss you more than ever
And to promise you this:

When I make it back to Chelsea
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And never let you go
And girl I promise you a kiss
For every day we've missed
Until I make it back to Chelsea

I'll have to say I think we've done some good
If I had to do it all again, I know I would
There's still a few shots every now and then
But they say this war is finally coming to an end
So this might be my final letter
I say the sooner the better
Because I'm ready to come home

She reads his letters everyday,
Then she puts them all away
Next to his medals and his flag,
That she would gladly give back

If it would bring him back to Chelsea
So he could take her in his arms
And never let her go
Cause she's still waiting for a kiss
For every day they've missed
Until he makes it back to Chelsea
