EIGHT STARS AWAY

Eyes closed

So cold

When people leave

Where do they go?

Never mistake

The choices you make

One prayer away

From heavens gate

Longing for

Someone to stay

A new year brings

The same old days

My heart misunderstood

For intensions only violent

Confidence no longer does me any good

So I now lean on my silence

This sweat scent

I cannot see

Two breathes away

From ecstasy

Here and now

There and then

Once a child

Still a man

Parts of me

Never the same

Still the love me

Always remains

Who am I?

But bones and flesh

Nothing more

Nothing less

Clinch my fist

And hold them tight

Prepare to miss

Declare a fight

Stomp my shoe

Bend my knees

Running to

Loves vacancy

Dark world where the sun shines

Imagine that

Three hands of time

Not one goes back

Thoughts of you

Leave me frail

Joyful pain

And heavens hell

What goes around

Seems not to return

The bridge will never be the same

Once it is burned

So why open your mouth

To say those words

Even when your voice is raised

You’re never heard

Bring me a tongue

Never used

Never silent

Never blue

Whistle melodies

To my ears

Make me laugh

Make me cheer

Make me be uplifted

From this troubled soul

Make me warm

Heal the cold

Rest in piece

All who have died

Four tears away

From eternal cries

Lift my heart

Restore my road

Heal my wounds

Feed my soul

Bless my days

Enhance my sight

Rebuild my mind

Prolong my life

Grant me the strength

To reach my goals

Expand my knowledge

Of the things I know

Let me rule

Among my kind

Power beyond reach

As sure as the moon will shine

Refill my pen

When ink is dry

Inspire this world

Let thee emotions rise

I live in a world

Of hate and sorrow

Five hearts beat away

For the next tomorrow

Abolishing ignorance

Establishing life

Accepting this ring

Only made you my wife

Never in my heart

Never in my trust

Losing the love

Discovering lust

Sadly departed

Unlikely to commence

Hell you put me through

In heaven ever since

The anger disrupt

The will to change

The power to destruct

The tears to make rain

Plans of laughter

Plans of togetherness

Only what tomorrow brings

Can define your foreverness

Great men smile

Poor men sing

Great men shine internal

While the poor men gleam

Exchange joy for pride

And greatness for more

Six sins away

From hells door

You and I

Us and we

Moving forward in dreams

Through all else we let it be

Why try to prevent

Our every mistake

When you must be asleep

To ever awake

Creative art

Generic pieces

The only difference

Is what they teach us

Just look my way

And you will see

How I feel for you

And the love so deep

Let me pass

Block the rest

Selfishness lies beneath

But to all else I confess

Living in repent

For all that is wrong

Ready I am to achieve

But the time is now gone

Redemption of love

Retribution of hate

Seven steps away

From heavens gate

I now see things

Never seen before

The path is narrow but steady

I now call upon the lord

Help me overcome love

And foresee fate

Just one kiss, one hug

From those who devastate

All I have

All I need

All I want

Is all that I see

All I am

All I know

A poet of life

Trying to define my own

Day light breaks

Then night falls

Eight stars away

Until love calls
