Tattoo Your Soul

Moments pass like fleeting specks,
Producing memories so picturesque.
Flamboyant colors sparkle at creations birth;
Over time dulling to ghostly reflections.

Rubicund fire enraptures;
Burning away each heated conflict.
Leaving the ashes to gather,
Until a minty wind blows them away.

Indigo tears cause a distressed mind,
Feeding, warping the implanted melancholy.
But with each ebony cloud, someone follows behind.
Bright, joyous sunshine dancing to hearts loving melody.

Moments pass like fleeting specks,
Don't let them fall outside your grasp.
Have them strike your heart and imprint your soul,
Leaving a piece of art, an everlasting glow.

Love Naturally

Never ending quest,
Searching for the cure of this loneliness.
Fighting through life to find,
A love thats going to last.

Desperate, seeking empty arms;
Anyone will do.
But beware of the trap;
For heartache awaits you.

Now beaten and bruised,
Defeat is what you choose.
Never to love again;
Alone forever, is how you'll mend.

New found strength, self discovery,
The cure to a broken heart.
Life becomes a little less gray,
It can finally begin to start.

With each day that passes,
You never see it coming.
Bam! It hits with an undeniable force.
A new love, much greater than the first.

But something is different,
This love is true.
For love cant be found or forced,
It happens when its meant to.

Internal Flame

Stinging pressure strikes the heart,
Permanently imprinting, a flame does start.
Fiery tendrils begin to sway,
Along to the drumming that starts to play.
Wisps dance to passion's growing beat,
Heating skin and burning deep.
Searing kisses caress the soul,
Feeding the fire thats out of control.
No cool breeze from words of ice,
Could ever extinguish a flame of this height.
Year after year, the fire may fade,
But the coals will forever remain.

Absentee

Like a mime slowly going through the motions of life,
Doing everything that he thinks is right.
Just being there for your flesh and blood,
But harboring thoughts of lust and love.

Leaving loving arms, you turn away;
Finding new arms of passion sin.
Once a wife, now a widow you have made,
She leaves; you return to a bed full of games.

Harlequin women soon tires from the play,
Leaving you for fresh meat to prey.
Returning back to the life you once had.
Hoping that you could still play the role of dad.

A little girl, a shell you find.
Forced to become an adult before her time.
Blankly she stares, she soon approaches you;
And with a smile, she walks right through you.

For a father who was never around,
You have become nothing, a mere sliver of air.
So blow away and never return,
For she cannot miss what was never there.

Black Death

Grey wisps waft within the air,
Envelopes a nearby child.
Her breath becomes short and labored,
As she falls to the ground.

Filth and trash cover the earth,
Never to disappear, never to decay.
Instead of grass and flower beds,
All that is seen is white and orange.

Poison tainted clouds cover the sky,
Killing everything that it touches.
What could possibly be the cause of such destruction?
Selfishness, an incurable addiction.
