Clueless

Across the horizon, below the light

Seemingly distant yet shining so bright

Calling out to me like never before

A voice so innocent, rare and pure

Within me I find what ought not to be there

Pulling and crushing me wholly bare

Winding me up in its shallow layer

I’m still; I’m stunned, and much too bothered to care

Away from all, to a nameless space

To gamble away all my debts

To give a care, to give a thought

Be with them and oblivious to all

It’s not what I mean, what I mean to do

It becomes a cruel joke and just anew

In so many others lost out at bay

Still sore reminders of the past day

Is misunderstanding all that it takes to break?

Shatter into pieces that bond you’d made

What about the trust, the love, the fear

That’s been put in to brace and clear

All the doubts, all the hate

But it’s impossible to sate

All of them standing for you

With tenderness in their eyes, so true

Hurt them not, says the heart

But there are some things you can help not

Fortitude

Love hath no mercy, so I've seen

It tests your patience and brings you back where you've already been.

Trust is your enemy, suspicion your friend

Fuel either one up and shattered glass is all that remains.

Cautiously tread the new path of love

It hampers you, stomps and pushes you down and low.

Pile of sorrows, wreckage of the heart

Crushes you even lower, until you are all wrought.

Buckle up, give it back and be stronger

The happy ending’s just there, hold a little longer.

Enliven the Draft

Breathing of the mind, baring of the soul

Heart of stone, so sad and cold

Living the draft of God's own plans

Carving your own way with your own hands

I don’t know why and what is wrong

I don’t understand the ways of the throng

I smile, I laugh, I giggle and I play along

I turn deaf to my sorrows as if they are long gone

It hurts when you don’t understand me

It hurts when you are not ready to see

The pain, the ache, the soreness of it all

Lending an ear to your constant sorrows of the fall

You should have comprehended me

My unspoken sentiments and my closed up glee

Because I couldn’t let it out, wild and free

Nor could I think out loud for the world to see

It’s a connection, a telepathic spark

That had to be there from the start

Lost it was as lost as myself

First it wavered and then it failed

I’m sure we’ll restructure the foundation

That very base of our branded existence

We were there and we are here
