Devastation - Collaboration with Poet Chris Smith

The tears came for me today,
like barbed wire kisses,
ripping through the flesh.
Memories of a destiny faded

Fate showed a painted smile,
of how times have now changed
Only that I stay the same, still
Trapped on this merry go round

Days go by in flashback fashion

When words bleed within passion

Yet, these times have gone astray

The skies with no hue, rule the day

Every sunrise consumes the essence

Envisioning the sublime magnitude

Of the radiance, that sears my flesh

Perpetually engraved are these scars

Can you hear the voiceless screams?

The heart exploding of hope – dreams

 As bloodshed, tears commence to fall

Ceaselessly in the deafening “silence “

Can you feel the warmth of my touch?
Or the singed fingers of intense agony
Coldness is all that's left within heart
Of this once, proud soul filled with love

No one knows this hidden pain, in sight

This wanting, the need to trust anew
But the heart keeps bleeding eternally
Leaving me to suffer, alone in awareness

Eyes Wide Open

Once Upon a Time

In a distant, far off land
Lives my prince, a knight
That comes to call in time

Trapped am I, in the confines,
of a barricade, with no way out
I long to be saved, taken away
As to rescue me, from myself

He is everything one may desire
As he sets the heart and soul afire
With one touch, a glance – a kiss
Awakening deep within, in radiance

He holds the power to shed light
The wisdom to enlighten my mind
Upon god’s grace, a gift unto self
As scars are bared, kindred to my own
In eternal battles, fought ceaselessly

In fairytales do they dwell, tis’ known
Until the final moment – one awakens
Finding oneself mesmerized, charmed
In the transparency of his heart –soul
Leaving me breathless, with such love

Yet for now, locked up I shall remain
In a bolted fortress, patiently awaiting
As time stands still - motionless
Lost in a reverie where fairytales exist
