A tenacious bond

By
I may have no rhyme
But I've got rhythm to spare
And it keeps my soul sublime
It makes want to clap my hands with flare
So when you see me sway my hips
And ever so gallantly tap my feet
Whilst taking passionate cognac sips
Listening to Bruno's greatest hit
That's just my Tenacious Bond with music.

It keeps me up at night
Dares my soul to lay itself bare
Uncovering my deepest blight
Seducing my volatile eyes
With its forever brilliant glare
I allow it to swallow me whole
And spit me out ravaged and raw
Ready to heal and try again
That's my connection with my music

It brightens my darkest days
Painting pictures of orange skies
Illuminating the beautiful green of life
Drawing rare memories of independent happiness
Momentarily erasing all that's sad and blue
And for that one moment, all is well
Life is full of wonders and joy
Music is my sanctuary

Prayer for reason

By
 Keep the illusion up, let them see purpose. I know you're just there existing. As long as you're breathing, keep that heart beating It don't matter if the muscles on your face won't stretch right It don't matter that your smile is not the same anymore Keep at it, don't give up. Struggle a bit longer You're not dead yet. They see you breathing. They can feel your heart beat. Cold as it is. They can feel your heat, you're not dead. Keep at it just a little bit longer Maybe there's a silver lining just around the corner In this round existence, there's a silver lining just around the corner. Even if you're just surving now, that's all that matters. They are all that matter so live. Live for them, if not for yourself. Love for them, if not for yourself. Do it all for them Maybe you'll find your own in the midst of it all.

Truth Is

By
Truth is you're always on my mind. I haven't gotten over you, not even close. I still stretch out my arm reaching for you at night. I wake up with the taste of your name on my lips. At the most random times I feel the ghost of your touch on my hips. I smile and turn my head, but you aren't there anymore, You're just a memory, a dream turned into a nightmare A neverending nightmare filled with laughter and joy. You haunt me with your absence and taunt me with your presence. So close, yet ever so far out of reach. My reach. Seeing you happy tears me apart and brings me joy, It's all I ever wanted for you, but with me. Only with me. I still wonder where it all came apart, when did I lose you? I don't remember looking at you and not drowning in love, I thought you'd always be there to keep me afloat and weather this sea of love. But now you're no longer mine, you're the wind to his sails. You glide through these torturous waters and I dro

No rush

By
 Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got anywhere to be, slow down. You know there isn't anyone waiting on you, You'll be dancing by yourself anyway, like always. But atleast you won't have to pretend anymore, You can finally let go and lose yourself. The four hours of sleep you'll get are enough to collect the pieces. Just enough to keep a smile on your face. The dark circles are almost invisible when you smile, Who cares if it won't reach your eyes, no one really notices anyway. So take the long way home, keep reality at bay. Just a little longer, fool the world a little longer, Lose yourself in the lie just a bit longer. No harm done. Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got nowhere to be, you might as well get lost.
