Melody of the Night

Reveling in the moon's natural beauty
The glow surrounding the nearby trees
As I contemplate the wonder of nature
I breathe in the crisp night air
Relaxing in the rapture of the evening

A melody begins to play within

A song pure and true

I begin to meld in the ecstasy of the night

As the tune progresses relaxing my spirit

I am one with the trees and the grass

Utterly and completely at peace

Free

Dressed in garb of gossamer
I flit through the sky as if
A butterfly
However once I take flight
I am as if a falcon
Soaring
However the ability
To take off was hindered sometimes
In these dreams
These old dreams of mine
So free to know for many instances
What it is like to escape
Truly be unencumbered
Wings no longer clipped
Even scared of heights
Yet in these reveries I was not
I do not remember where I went
Just that to take off
Was sublime

Demons

Dare to enter my mind's realm
Drawing you in
You spin like a centrifuge
A cacophony of voices
Not meant for you to hear
Assault you in inconceivable ways

I used to feel empathy for others
My friends who heard voices
Thinking about how terrible it would be
Well this haunting tone deep within
Also without is not a pleasing song today

Banish the feelings bestowed on me
When I hear these unreal sounds
Ones no one else can hear
Which makes me "crazy"
Well I dare you to spend
A day in my head since last year
A year where I have been tortured
By doctors as well as demons

Demons they called themselves at first
I never really believed too much in hell
Until I found hell in my own head

Breakfast

Alone and listless
Waiting for morning
It seems like forever
Wishing I could settle
Fighting the urge
To make some coffee
Eggs and toast
At 12:47 AM
I am already thinking
Breakfast
A craving for a soda
With my cat relaxing
Next to me
Wanting attention
I should sign out
However I am addicted
To the internet
Oh and not to mention
Diet Coke

Torch

Take a chance
Along a lonely road
Steps may lead you astray
Yet never cast far
For positive outweighs
Negative thoughts
Moving on
I miss past loves
Ones that got me through
So I hold on
To a fading memory
I have to let the worn
Picture go
Glow
My heart is gleaming
A torch in my heart
I carried it for one man
For so long
It is time to pass it!
