Hidden consciousness

Tears overflow from dreams into wakefulness

as the past and the present

intertwine to form

a consciousness which

until now was locked

in the hidden chambers of my mind.

Broken Windows

I wish I could see myself, just for a day,

for an hour, to see what you see…

Would I see a girl striding through this here life

with a strength and a stance to match,

who’s cushioned the blows that don’t leave a mark

who’s risen against the odds?

And does she cruise flighty and carefree each day

through streets with golden planes,

gifted with flair from the hands of the gods

that rule the night skies to refrains?

Or would I spot glimpses of tortured scarred flesh

that burns to a constant stream

of pain that’s residing so deep in her soul,

yet bound by an endless scream?

A scream of abandonment, careless denial,

for a love that she gladly bestowed

into the hands of a traitorous being,

who’s word’s but an empty echo…

I wish I could see myself, just for a day,

as that confident façade that reigns,

instead of submitting to unspoken fears

so deeply entrenched in my veins.

Revelation

When the heavens intervene,

subtle images appear,

little pieces start to fall,

in your psyche as they sear,

through the blinkers placed in time

over eyes that chose to rest,

behind ignorance that soothes

nerves unraveled by the test

of acknowledging unwanted

truths we hide, prefer to change

into reasoning man-made,

in a limited dark range.

Temptation

Let me lead you to temptation,

let me sway your will to cede,

close your eyes and follow that

which my touch you to will lead,

and forget yourself in me

as my whisper takes you deep

into my arms where you'll find

the fulfillment of that need,

that is smold'ring in your eyes,

that is burning through your skin,

let me take you to the darkness,

to the pleasures born in sin.

Touch

Every footprint that I make

will be washed from this here shore,

yet the touch I leave today

will remain forever more.

Before dawn

In the silence and the darkness in a cold and moonless night,

it's an anguished scream that tears through the soul with all its might,

as the dark fear has a grip on your limbs and on your heart,

takes the breath from hope that's seeking your direction to re-chart.

Feel the anguish, feel the pain, feel the deeds that brought regret,

feel the anger, feel the heartache of the past you can't reset,

and the dark will turn to shadows, turn to dawn if you have time,

walk towards this unseen promise, in the daybreak church bells chime.

Windblown...

Ice-cold desolation washes over me as I see the sand, blowing in waves across the cracked, deserted tarmac. And icy fingers tug at my hair, tearing and tangling the once smooth facade, while a bolt of lightning rips through the black storm clouds rushing this way... a world transformed in the blink of an eye, gone are the sunny skies and the impression of summer, removed in an instant by the harsh force that's winter's grip on my heart.

...bitter the taste of wasted years

spent in a state of illusion,

craftily woven with marked intent,

promises windblown and broken.

The Shadows of the Moon

My spirit withdraws

from the earthly realm

of the shadows the moon bequeaths,

and in silver veils

my soul can see

the truth as it hovers beneath

the full moon that rose

this glorious night,

to grant me the knowledge deserved,

lifting the pallor

of trapped blinding lies,

for chained earthbound mortals reserved.
