The Park

Out the window into the dark

Lays the sleeping park

The chill of dusk

a stark contrast


To the children normally about

But oh! Yellow sun?

To where do you stand?

illuminating a park in another land?


Kids of my land lay tucked tight

Dreaming for the end of night.

The lonesome park in the eerie streetlight

Still and silent, out of sight.


“Oh sun! Must you have to go?

We don’t wish to head to ...

Appreciate the Light

Light. We take it for granted when we have it. But when it is gone…


“Nooooooooooooo!”


I screamed for what seemed like hours when they closed the door. There was no light. Not one little bit. None from under the door. None through a window. No light at all.


I had only been in such complete darkness when they turned the lights off in a cave in Arizona. We were kids taking a tour of some c...

Blink and You’ll Miss it

Nothing can truly capture the beauty of nature like the human eye can

But for those unappreciative of its glory

Their glaring ignorance will be their folly

“How beautiful”

Nay, beautiful silence

Where to speak

Would be auditory violence

A camera can’t do justice to perceive

The natural light one’s eyes receive

And yet I must try

Or else wonder why

My vision is gone with the blink of an eye...

Burning

Burning skin

Let me rid myself of sin

I’ve wasted centuries away

In chambers so empty

Xylophone ribs

Piano heart

Tune I’m playing

So irregular


Get the scissors the razor the knife

Promise I won’t take my life

Just a little blood

Pouring silkily off my skin

I know I promised

But the blood oath wins

Peeling away my snakeskin

What you saw was a disguise


For like stevie said

I’ve been to far out m...

Light Vs Dark

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. -MLK



This quote is really meaningful to me because it shows that even in the darkest times there is light that can guide us out.


This world is a horrible place. The only way we can change this world is by changing us. We need to spread love and kindness but if we can’t change then th...

Light

If you saw all my flaws


All my darkness


All the things I hide in the shadows


Would you still look at me like I was the sun.


Would you still crave me and see me to be the light house for your ship in a storm.


That’s the thing about you


They say love is blind but with you


Is it stupidity or simply naivety


You only see the good in me


Or maybe you just take me as I am


Frankly that f...

Two Realms

Light. Oh how I do not evny the light. She must stay bright, and be a shining beacon for everyone she meets. She must always maintain her bright personality and stay that way until nobody is around.

That’s why I dont mind being the darkness. I prefer staying to the shadows, hiding things that do not need to be seen. I lurk in corners and watch what happens from there. I’m comfortable in my realm....

Forbidden Love

The sun waved goodnight to the moon for the last time.
