Youth Years


I am nostalgic for a place 
I once felt so deeply for.
To me home is a feeling, 
a temperate longing for completion.

I am nostalgic for the wind
and the weeds. 
Where the sun would shine
and my skin would build the scent of sun and dust. 

I remember the days of laughter and play,
where innocence remembered my name.

I am nostalgic for a sweet time 
I watched my father hold my mother close, 
a slow dance of romance 
as their cheeks kissed ever so tenderly. 
A moment of definition.

I remember the feeling of wonder and bliss, 
oh how I miss the words of a poetic wish.

I am nostalgic for a life time, 
of dreams and darkness. 
In the quiet stillness of the dawn, 
she never leaves me. 
She is there, 
in the darkest of my days.

I am nostalgic,
for a feeling.

I Rather Be Dreaming

Reflections of blue fill the room 
Like light I wish to breath in
I am trapped, in stillness of silence
Wishing to find a way out

The darkness, fills me deeply
Smoke into madness I weep dry
I could barely taste the truth in me
As I cry for help yet I just lay

It consumes me 
Like it always does
I choke to the thought of freedom
How tangled a soul of dust
Living a life of endless love

Dancing as dancers do
I die constantly for you
For what, to bleed and weep petty sorrows 
To sit in quiet rooms 
I'm left hollow 

Find me in lost 
Feel me true
I've died countless times for truth
