More from ~WaywardGypsy

The CollapseFor a while I survived with all my frayed edges,
but now I rip at the seams,
and claw at the tears,
screaming out my frustration.

As I watch my organs fall and shatter on the marble floors,
I stoop to pick up the pieces; my fingers are crumbling.
My limbs are cracking from the effort.

When I cry I empty rivers,
release the grief, the pain;
I drain.
The ebbing flow takes my last emotions with it in the tide.
Tied With Golden StringsCarefully woven,
are the golden strings that bond,
a perfect friendship.
TechnicolorI see my world in technicolor,
paint canvasses in black and white.

I sift for your words through radio static,
the white noise muffles, so I read your lips.

Senses deadened, I will defy;
I've lost my breath, my will, my cry.

Caught in the precarious retro slip,
In slogging onward- what reins me back?

Born into a different time and place,
can I rest awhile, and wait my turn?

I see my world through a technicolor lens,
and paint my thoughts in stark blacks and whites.
NyxThe only thing that's certain is the dark,
It's shroud, it's cloak, never fails to descend.

No light will pierce it,
It's frontiers will never be discovered,
It will never be destroyed.

It exists because it exists, and we will have it forever.

Long live the darkness, the shadowy Queen of night.
Alone in the WoodsWillow staff in hand,
crunching leaves, the hiker's friend,
a trail to follow.

I hear wind whispers,
and walk bent tree avenues,
hardling minding pace.

Stopping now and then,
smelling earthy log decay,
a home for wood-folk.

A cool stream greets me,
hopping over rocks, I see,
the glint of fish scales.

Giving way to lake,
patient waters lapping shore,
and beaching seashells.

Speedy darners dart,
from mud flats to lily beds,
Knowing now I'm home!
InsomniaI want to go home,
wrap myself up in the cocoon
of the bed all my days.

Though I cannot shut my eyes,
I'm eluding sleep with tired cries.

Hungry now for sleep I'm always
trying to find the rest I lack,
I'm a quiet and peaceful insomniac.

Tossing, turning in my sheets
I squeeze the pillow, succumbing at last to rest's embrace.

~Good Night~
