Life's Inconsistencies

Through the chaos dawns a moment of clarity,
a millisecond of mental therapy,
an instance of emotional sobriety,
a flash of propriety,
a harmonious feeling,
a temporary healing,
a brief sense of well-being.
Disorder fleeting,
pandemonium depleting,
peace restored
and turmoil floored.
Sweet beautiful bliss
of madness dismissed,
hostility removed,
happiness approved,
the heart soothed with quickness,
if only for a while.
A sincere smile,
a passing sense of worthwhile,
a transitory serenity
amongst an infinity of despair,
elation as this devastation
becomes hard to bear.
But in an instant its gone,
as if it was never there.

Love's Battlefield

When the courage to explore
conquers the fear of the journey,
true love can begin.
Bravery consists of the ability to travel forth
through tribulation and pain.
Triumphing through the frightening unknown
strengthens nerve, with spirit grown.
Individuals must possess perseverance unparalleled.
Those plagued with uncertainty and doubt
are inevitably dispelled.
Ambition requires reckless abandonment,
the cautious cannot survive.
The strong thrive,
the emotionally unstable are despised.
Boldness must burst through the seams,
devotion immense,
passion extreme.
Love is NOT for the weak-hearted.

My Only Love

Headphones on, volume up, I'm gone. Mesmerizing, the beauty of music, mind numbed as I succumb to its glory. Words pouring into the depths of my eardrums. Zoned out, enticed by its beautiful resonance. Release of stress, lyrics speaking to my soul, molding into the feelings I possess, verbalizing my story, reverberating what my mouth refuses to discuss. So powerful, its influence reconstructs my anatomy, becoming a piece of me, as its bass flows throughout my veins. Ridding me of all incongruity, nothing but harmony remains. Heart beat pulsating, blood racing as with every tremble it shatters my tense-filled casing. Utter relaxation, elimination of all thoughts of devastation as its vibrations synchronize with every breath I inhale. Respiration derailed with each gasp, its grasp upon me more vital than the air I breathe. Love's epitome, falling deep, abandonment of all discretion, overcome by obsession with music's melody.

Stormy Weather

Just smile,
for though the weather may be dreary,
brighter days approach in the morning.
It can only rain for so long.
Even the deepest floods evaporate with time.
The clouds that hover above are temporary.
Sunshine always appears after the darkest of storms.

Internal Struggle

Unspoken pain,
confessions of a tear-stained
love addict drained,
as constraining my disdain
and maintaining composure
gains difficulty.
Constant strain,
as thoughts of you
still remain.

Scarred

Broken-winged bird,
song of misery and sorrow
heard at the rise of dawn.
Victim to the cruelty
and mischief
of mankind.
Pained deep,
through her soul,
as her reason for being
had been destroyed.
Longing for flight and migration,
yearning for a fresh start,
handicapped by those
who have wronged her
in seasons past.

Infection

Fatal desires inspire my heart, passion spiraling out of control, boldly lust brushes across my soul, feeding my insides with yearning that sears through my spine. Blindsided by a wave of emotion fueled by tender devotion enticing my mind and spirit. Infatuation creating devastation in its path as its wrath plagues my essence of being. Disgraced at my willingness, an eager servant to LOVE and its power, longing to be showered with affection, losing all constraint as LOVE has no restraints, faint in the knees, as its strength leaves me helpless, weak. Victimized by its passion, forced to imagine happiness in every fashion. Diseased, as desires seep through my veins, infecting my bloodstream. Witness to homicide as LOVE murders the negativity, shredding it at the seams. Haunting my dreams, visions of holding hands and laughter, horrific disasters that infatuation has mastered my heart to have faith in. Once again LOVE wins as I can no longer compete, corrupted, my body succumbs to this beautiful defeat.

Torture

Eyes hazed, mind dazed, this current phase created by those who've betrayed me. Restless sleep as my soul slumbers deep but my hollow body lies wide awake. A paralyzed state ,trance, as disbelief dances mystically through my head. The living dead couldn't instill any more dread than what you've caused, lost as time continues to pause around me, haunting nightmares surround me. Drowning, suffering as Lady Luck keeps toughening her hatred of me. Disparity, as clarity seeps from my mind. Someone's vendetta, undefined, cursing my life, one disaster at a time. Losing faith as optimism is replaced by hopelessness ans distress. Why have I inherited this mess? While I confess that I haven't been the best, no one deserves this form of torture. NO cure in sight as surely events increasingly aggravate my plight. Somewhere something went wrong, too cushioned by fantasies of everything going right. Now everywhere I turn, grudges are being formed, bridges left burned. I'm a prisoner caught, undeniably distraught as these demons cannot destroyed, or fought.
