Can you See me?My tears,  they fall so silently
No one to care or comfort me
To walk alone and wonder why
I always feel the need to cry

Confusion is heavy in my heart
I sigh out loud,  and play my part
Within this game, that dulls my soul
and breaks my spirit,  which once was whole

I see no joy in every day
What once was there, has gone away
I seek,  but never do I find
What brings to me, my peace of mind

The shadows darken all my light
I seek my refuge in the night
To hide myself amongst my fears
To shed again my lonely tears..

Beautiful DawnDawn, as it breaks
Will give as it takes
A moment of pleasure and pain
The warmth of the sun
To rise and be done
Setting scenes that forever remain

To sigh and to breathe
Is destined to leave
Creating a gap in lives to be had
Shedding a tear
and lost in our fear
Blaming regrets on why we are sad

Breaking a heart
Then tearing apart
The solace in which we are placed
Clawing our skin
To begin yet again
Begging for love in ultimate haste

Take pity on me
See more than you see
Give me courage to keep moving on
It is but a game
To lay all the blame
On love that is broken and gone

Shaking my head
Of lost faith and dread
And

Uttered in Silence..Talking in whispers
So no-one can hear
Cringing in madness
shaking in fear

My mind is a blank
and yet I still dream
Of yesterdays pain
the angst I have seen

My tears they do fall
I scream out your name
No-one is here
You never came

I writhe in my bed
No sleep to be had
A name etched in blood
has driven me mad

Insanity plays
the strings of my heart
A mournful tune
that keeps us apart

I need you to see
who I really am
Not who you want
I don't give a damn

Words of the soul
that cuts me so deep
Blood that is spilled
as angels do weep

My eyes I do close
and yet I can see
There is no tomorrow
For you or for me

Dream WeaverDream Weaver, Please
Weave me a dream
Make it the best
That I've ever seen

Fill it with joy
For you and for me
Fill it with hope
For the whole world to see

Paint it in colours
To bring us delight
To replace all the darkness
Except for the night

Bathe it in sunshine
As warm as its rays
Fill it with friendship
To last all our days

Give peace in our sorrow
and joy in our song
Weave this dream soon
Do not wait too long

We all need our dreams
To be and to see
To share all we have
From you and from me

Thank you Dream Weaver
For weaving this dream
It is the best dream
That I've ever dreamed..

an alternate final stanza:

Just Me..I am really struggling here.
Not seeing the light in day and being swallowed by the darkness of the night.
Voices pound my head incessantly and shriek shrill messages until my hands cover my ears to block out what I do not want to hear.
But it doesn't help they still find their way into my mindspace.
Screaming.
Shouting.
Cursing.
Laughing.
Mocking.
Oh how I hate what they do to me.
How can I be alive and still breathing when I am in so much pain.
This is not me all the time, in fact I am just like you.
I walk, talk, see and breathe the same air.
But inside I am a twisted, broken mess of emotion.
Looking f

To Dream.Your dream is placed within your heart
To grow with you and never part
Until the day that you will see
Where all your dreams became reality..

Tragedy's MuseBlame me not, for I am a disillusioned soul that's lost their way,
midst many a broken promise and shattered dreams
I see, before me, an enveloping darkness that is threatening
my sanity, akin to tempests of somber misconception

Tears fill these clouds to bursting and droplets of their pain fall like
rivulets on unsuspecting passersby with no purpose in their stride
Surprise is etched on their faces as hands wipe the wetness
from their skin, in a hurried fashion, seemingly alike a scalding heat

Sensitivity being an emotion hidden behind forgotten trysts and the
never-ending confusion that to care is the ultimate betrayal
I smell t

Free to FeelThis pain I feel, though fleeting
Will mar my wounded heart
It stains a picture perfect,
and ends what we did start
A vision of what may of been,
was spied when we did part

I hear my sigh upon the wind
and close my eyes so tight
To dream within my fantasy,
A pure and sensual sight
A closeness that we crave to feel
Shredding darkness with rays of light

As humans, we are selfish
and take more than we give
we need to see our fragility
and give substance to how we live
To free what we have hidden,
Teaching souls, how to forgive

So dream I will, and give my love,
To one who may not stay
Tis better than not knowing
The lig

Mixed MessagesIt scares me to think that just in a blink
Our life,  as it is,  could be gone
As strong is my heart, it could still fall apart
And here I could stand all alone

The sky although blue, has a darkening hue
And will rain with so many tears
The smile on my face, leaves a sneer in its place
Still hiding my stifling fears

Flowers will not bloom,  in a closeted room
For the light is needed to grow
Though memories so dark and feelings are stark
On the winds of change,  they do blow

You see I do feel, what once was so real
But is gone,  as the days do end
Love me please as I sing, like a

Cry not for mePieces of my heart, scattered on the floor
To be entwined with yours, never more

My tears, they drown my very soul
Each droplet spent, as they do roll
across the moments, that we once knew
now sadness reigns, where love once grew

I place a piece within my hand
and all I see is shifting sand

Of what we had, but is no more
mere yearning is all for me to store
Within my trinket box of dreams
Life is always, not as it seems

A blink in time can change it all
From euphoric to pity's call

A sound we do not want to hear
In most it brings the gravest fear
Of lovers found and then to part
Leaving scattered pieces,

Winter WonderlandSnow blankets the fields that once were green
This Winter Wonderland which can be seen
Creating starkness in a shade of white
We gaze in awe upon this sight

Snowflakes drifting slowly to the ground

                     Floating softly without a sound

                     Placing shapes upon this earth

                     Fill

Sweet Mysteries of LifeThe night sky holds all our secrets
Of lovers lost under the yellow moon
Dreaming of yesterday in the haste of today
Weaving words that will only get lost in tomorrow

A wilting rose dies a slow death
bereft of the sense of purpose
To be mourned as a man cries for his loss
As a woman will cry for her innocence

A bitter-sweet moment in a memory paled
Placed in a trinket box filled with hope
Silence reigns as whimsy replaces the time had
and searches for answers in tears that fall

Ghosts blunder in confusion and ignorance
Giving no closure for those left behind
Hiding between worlds , still holding on
Unable to let go o

So This is ChristmasOh Christmas-time, you bring to me,
Joy and love placed in a memory
Much sadness also finds its place
Someone lost, an empty space

Where once was family, now is few
and silence reigns its subtle hue
Adornments create a festive feel
Plying gently for the heart to heal

I sing along to "Oh Christmas Tree"
A song you always sang to me
The tears I shed are lost once more
Amongst the now and what I'm thankful for

I take a breath and laugh out loud
To guide my heart within this crowd
Of family and friends whom I hold so dear
This very sentimental time of year

We give a gift and share our love
And pray our thanks to God above

I Wish..

I wish..
Some-one would love me
I wish..
They really would
I wish..
Some-one would love me
If only they just could

For you see, it is not easy
When I cannot deal with trust
The pain and the betrayal
Has left a hardened crust
Upon this heart that beats so dark
The scars have left their tears
No place for me to run and hide
Away from all my fears

One day, melds with another
and leaves an empty space
No purpose in this life of mine
My dreams, a forgotten place
I need to see the sun that shines
Within a friendly smile
To give me hope in tomorrow
and warm me for a while

For now, I must walk alone
My path an untu

Hopes RenewalMy play with words is simple
Just saying what I feel
Hoping you can hear me
Praying that you heal

We all fall by the wayside
recover, though we must
Find our strength and courage
Learning when to trust

Though pain is meant to guide us
Tis, a hard road that we tred
Searching where we all belong
Walking tall and not with dread

Our love we give so freely
and yet we are so torn
From what is seen as happiness
Is shattered and filled with scorn

We look within for answers
Searching far and wide
Our hearts filled with our memories
No reason then to hide

Tears will cleanse our soul
and help us start again
To find a be

Sadly SoToday is turning out to be one of the most disappointing days of my life.
What does that mean?
Hell I don't know!!!!
Maybe I am too trusting.
Or just maybe others are too deceptive in their nature.
What has happened to TRUST?
I could kick myself right about now.
To cut a story short, I had distanced myself from a situation and after many months of healing and self-recrimination I felt as if I had healed enough to forgive myself for letting myself be put in a position that turned out to be detriment to myself, mentally and physically. Then an offering of sorts came out of the blue to make me believe that to finally put this d

Maybe One DayYour glance..
Has me stumbling blindly through scenarios,
inventing trysts within my imagination

Your words..
Covetously spoken in desirous tones, sending
shivers to rankle up and down my spine

Your touch..
Hot as burning embers, searing a path
of ultimate submission, culminating in ecstasy

Your scent..
Lost in tangled aromas of sandalwood and
passions musk, with the promise of always

Your kiss..
Warm as summer sunshine, with a hint of
yearning hunger, and unadulterated lust

I have not met you yet; but I will know you when I do..

Forever is a Long Time

Forever is a long time,
So much longer than a day
Forever is filled with memories,
Many more than I can say

Days of boundless beauty, stretching farther than I can see
Nights of purest solitude, that set my spirits free
My mind, it gets to thinking, of all that matters most
Pertaining to what is seen as real, or fleeting as a ghost
To live can have no boundaries, and give us all our fill
To live life to the fullest, and share with others still

For you see...
Forever is a long time,
So much longer than a day
Forever is filled with memories,
Many more than I can say

There will be no Tears

Here I stand before you,
My words aimless and unsaid
Such depths of tortured emotion,
Still spinning in my head

I see, I want, yet cannot have
What makes me feel alive
So pliantly my heart is yours
Your love of which I strive

I will not cry these tears,
For one who will not see
Imprisoned in this soul of mine,
To become a memory

Yesterday is gone forever
Today an ashen pyre
Tomorrows dreams are far away
My future seems so dire

N
O
I say unto myself
My life is filled with much
To give to those who treasure me
And long my gentle touch

You see me here before you
A woman who s

As I Rest

I saw life today

Painted midst a picture of a child at play
Worn photographs with frayed edges,
dotted with tears of memories never forgotten
Solitary slumber with hands clasp tightly,
in semblance of blasphemous prayer
Momentary madness that creeps as silently,
as a stalking stranger will mimic its prey

I saw acceptance today

Shrouded amongst days lost within a fragility
that only our mind can comprehend
Placing the past where it belongs,
amongst memory boxes and tattered dreams
Loneliness so encumbering, as to take the breath
from one's soul, and place it within a sigh

I saw death today

Standing over a body wasted with tim

Where Forgotten Days Slumber

Where forgotten days will slumber,
No hope of peaceful rest
A pillow to lay my head upon,
A grassy mound at best
With nature, though it changes,
Holds true the seasons sight
from cold to autumn's colour,
In sun and springs delight..

Hope Eternal..

Look in the mirror,  what do I see
Staring right in front of me
A body with no where to go
Pain so raw,  a need to know

Time is fleeting, gone so fast
Wanting more, it will not last
A second, a minute or just a day
A month, a year or come what may

Joy is found and then is gone
A memory made within a song
We see, we saw and then is spent
A glimpse in life is all that's meant

Place the sun, the wind and rain
Within your senses to play again
To feel and touch and be as one
No day complete unless it's done

Feel the love there is to give
Without of which we cannot live
Needed like a breath of air
It's truest form,  so very rare

Find your place and hold on fast
Today a gift, the rest is past
To wallow will not set you free
Give yourself to who you'll be

Look in the mirror, who do you see?
Staring right in front of me
A body with a place to go
Lessons to learn and seeds to sow..

This reminds me of many of the entrancing lyrics to a Moody Blues ballad. There is a kind of subtle repetition that, with the muted but persistently straightforward rhyme pattern, almost puts one into a mellow trance. There is the sense of a oneness with the universe that is a blend of frustrated longing and the passionately passive fulfillment of that longing. I believe that if this were set to music, one could use it as a healing mantra for chasing away depression and all sorts of social malaise and mood disorders. Overall, a most enchanting and elegant piece of work!

Never be scared of what others will say Skya, you have to have faith in yourself and not rely on the praise of others, although praise is great for the ego
