Delicate Rivalry

Intertwining rhythms

secrete the beauty of immortality,

burning the reflection of

unbound power

into memory.

Desire drifts

from heart to mind,

fearful incandescence escaping

from fragmented chains.

Suffocating ignorance

cloaks reality

as blind consciousness

dominates moral prevalence.

Staggered insanity

lingers behind the vanity

of a shattered looking glass,

malignant distress haunting

the eyes of a child.

Adolescence battles resilience,

each affliction wounding

the heart of a warrior;

a persistent trial.

Past Memories

Obscure innocence

reflects the light in your smile

as blossoming tears drown

your conspired hypocrisy.

In your palm lay

blindfolded promises,

hidden by the bitter ambrosia

of your deception.

Memories

are stolen from lifeless winds

that cradle dark,

moldering flowers;

tainted with betrayal.

Naive eyes

unveil tangled weavings

of duplicity,

preserved by my demise.

Distressed hands

risk sanity through bravery,

grasping the fabric of time

to gather the past.

Impossibility

becomes reality in your eyes;

a perfect stranger.

I Believe In You

Eyes twinkle

under a thousand stars,

reminiscence flickering

as innocence dances

in the heart of your smile.

Silence binds the world

into a diluted rapture,

emptiness echoing

the rhythm of years past.

Paper flowers crinkle,

whispering lullabies

of devoid illusion,

murmuring skeletal pleas

of forgiveness.

Vanity swells within

a crippled heart,

trapped inside a shell of a soul.

A wary hand extends,

fear imprisoning possibility;

my miracle.

Restraint

Your hand extends,

dark eyes flickering as the moon

casts a shadow over

clenched palms.

Teeth grind,

scraping against cracked lips

that refuse to part.

Mind,

body,

and soul

stand alone, disappearing

while silent screams

beg for freedom,

suffocating as a broken

looking glass

spills burning raindrops.

Eyes shift

unsteadily,

heart beats

violently.

Words collapse

under the weight of time.

No escape, no goodbyes.

I love you.
