Long Way From Home,

So Close To Parts Unknown -

This Desolate Place,

No Definite Trace,

Of What Was Once God’s Throne -

Pray And Wait,

As It Lays To Waste -

Hallowed Grounds,

Filled With Diabolic Sounds,

From The Remnants

Of Graves Defaced -

Sunken In Withered Sands -

Ears To Eden,

Eavesdropping On Nature’s Whispered Plans -

To Refurbish The Surface -

No Longer To Recycle,

It’s More Vital ...

In Distressed Silence,

I’ve Had To Wait A While -

Forced To Grin & Bear It,

I’m Afraid To Smile -

Face Contorting,

Agonizing Through The Discomfort -

Taste Misfortune, It’s Exhausting,

How Much I’ve Made My Tongue Work -

But Still To No Avail,

Just Wanna Explode & Wail -

Note To Self -

Ed, Remember To Grow Your Nails -

So The Next Time,

I’m Chomping At The Bit For Relief -

I Won’t Need A Us...

They say forgiveness is a virtue,

But I’d rather keep my anger -

Shallow it may be, but dragging me way deep,

This vengeful anchor -

Subdued in hostile waters,

Could’ve called a truce but dialed up slaughter -

Harbor a grudge and won’t budge,

Until I’m through inflicting torture -

Full-grown, I should know better,

But it’s a full-blown vendetta -

Mistake my ambitiousness for viciousness

When I s...

Ongoing Battle,

Can’t Yet Say I’ve Won The Fight -

But I Refuse To Taste Defeat,

Steeped In A Hunger Strike -

Won’t Cross The Picket Line,

Until Every Demand Is Met -

Concluding Wit My Cards Floating,

In The Air, My Hands Are Kept -

Raised High In Victory,

Reigning Triumphant -

Championship DNA,

Trophies Coated With My Thumbprint -

Forget Breaking Even,

I Defied The Odds -

Wouldn’t Let Doubt B...

Would You Trade The Feeling Of Pleasure,

To Never Again Feel Pain? -

Be Deprived Of The Sun’s Warm Weather,

To Never Again Feel Rain? -

No Risks Taken To Win,

To Ensure You Never Lose -

No Exposing What’s Within,

Making Sure To Never Bruise -

Caught In Between,

Never Taking A Stand -

No Opinions, Nothing Solid,

A Foundation Of Sand -

Detached From The Action -

No Genuine Displays,

Only False...

As the darkens enlightens,

I’m delighted to switch off -

Sinking in to stars heightened,

Pilot ignited lift off -

Nestled in the warmth of chillness,

Serenaded by the silence -

Dreamscapes activate in stillness,

Emerge from obscurity with vibrance -

Peace at last,

Found some peace to rest -

Can finally rest in peace,

Without the grief of death....

Wounds sealed,

though never truly healed -

Keloids hide deep voids

of a truth we shield

Blood sweats

from the tears of hearts torn -

Bandaged in bondage,

by sleeves where the heart’s worn

Etched into cardiac muscle -

So when the pain beats loudest,

May these scars be the muzzle

To silence the sorrow —

Of knowing we have no future together,

Yet I’ll be reminded of that again tomorrow

Pi...

Unshackled by gravity adrift -

Haphazardly, so rapidly, we lift -

To an elevated state,

Our levitated fate -

Footprints dent the clouds

as we march the heavens’ gate -

Blessings agape —

Nothing up here, but the rarest of glares,

Where even shadows appear to constellate -

In a constant state of weightlessness -

Up, up, and away,

No longer having to await this bliss -

Dancing with the stars,...
