Darkside of The Heart

I must confront my darkside and learn to let it go
To forgive my inner demons and the pain that I still hold
Consuming is this haunting, always hiding what I'm to be
These hardships that I am bearing are weighing down on me
I must find my own forgiveness to discover my own path
And not forget my darkside from the troubles of my past
My memories are apart of me and the man that I've become
If I close my eyes to ignore them, I'll know not where I am from
My struggles have been tiring, to where I am so weak
I must use these learnings wisely and struggle to my feet
A painful life of falling, so dark I can't recall
Might of left me injured but the healing defines us all
So when I show my darkside and start to fall apart
I'll think of all my falling and fight with all my heart

My Lonely Dove

Please fly to me my lost love dove
Up overhead in skies above
You hide in clouds so I can't see
Your teardrops fall, like rain you weep
O please my dove, please listen well
This heartbeat rising to where you fell
For all I have is not enough
I'd give it all just for your touch
Like strangers now I walk this ground
As you fly by, above, not found
I feel your presence as feathers fall
But when I look up only rain still falls
O my love, my lonely dove
Please come to me, I feel your love
I feel your heart and know your mind
With you so far I feel so blind
So on I'll walk as my word flies
And hope one day to behold your eyes
Because my dove, my only love
I see only you in skies above

October Breath

Walking through this tall grass field
I see the breath October feels
Falling sunlight on falling leaves
Watching breath as I breathe
In early mourning I give my sigh
As my whole world meets falling sky
And in the middle of this mist
I feel a gentle falling kiss
October mourning I see your songs
A bird's lone chatter with jumping fawns
This field I walk holds all my peace
This fall time air inspires me
Painting thoughts with my own words
The leaves dance down and souls are heard
My changing seasons, you touch me so
For new beginings hold all my hope

Tears of Sand

I slip away into my depth
Just fear and I with no one left
The silence falls and angels weep
The walls I've built brings me my peace
I hear their calls but they can't help
This broken heart consumes itself
I feel these worms dig through my mind
The darkness spreads, only hate I find
So much pain with loves I lost
They left me here at selfish costs
The tears I give turn into sand
Then fills the glass and breaks in hand
My depth, my curse, my mind, my pain
These silent screams, am I insane?
The walls of fear, my endless depth
A broken heart with no one left
Weeping angels and tears of sand
The spreading darkness for which I am
The worms of hate and selfish costs
Alone am I and always lost
Down I look upon this man
Please my love, I need thy hand

The Mirror Distorted

There is a ripple in the water with every drop that falls
Distorted is this image from which I can't recall
I start to listen clearly even though he cannot speak
This man is slowly falling and looking very weak
A drowning man is calling, so I'm giving out my hand
But living through this torture seems not to be his plan
I give a calling screaming, for now he starts to weep
While hearing in the distance a voice that cannot speak
These tears that keep on falling make it so I can't see
Each ripple that is forming is a wall that I'm to be
This man just keeps on fading, why won't he take me by the hand
Why I give my caring I have yet to understand
Now as this sky stops crying, his face I start to see
A man that's done his dying has no wanting to be free
I look into this water, a reflection of a man
A mirror of his father so now I start to stand
The only face I stare at is one that is well known
For even though it's lifeless it is one that is my own
