Ok so I thought I might as well open a thread where I can post my random poetry and lyrics save me starting a new thread every time.

I wrote a poem this morning after feeling quite low about work. I thought I'd share it as it did what it was meant to do and make me feel better after articulating my frustration. As per usual I wrote it off the top of my head and the cartharsis of writing soothed my trouble so I have not edited it...yet!

War and Peace of the Soul

Feelings of insecurity shroud my mind as another battle wages against my sanity
Hope once my ally now forlorn at the prospect of this unceasing nightmare
Like the reaper, his scythe delivering the killing blow, the insecurity bleeds my spirit
I sink into this black hole of emptiness, struggling to stay afloat but this gravity well of despair begins to crush my bones

Where does my hope come from?
Where can i find release?
Where is the light that will guide me to a safe haven?

Those inner convictions that define my identity begin to rise, conquering, vanquishing the darkness
My rescuer comes, prevailing over the enemies of my inner turmoil "Peace I give to you, not as the world gives; I give my peace to you"
Hope is girded once more as the light overcomes this bleak and lonely existence of the inner self
I find rest

For a little longer then I will persevere, ever following the will of the One who saved me
For a little longer then I will continue, pursuing the light wherever it takes me
"His grace continues forever" soothes my weary heart and gives me the strength to cope
One day I will enter into a Kingdom of peace
One day I will enter into a Kingdom of rest

enjoy. discuss.

The Thief

Pain. Regret. They are the names of my woe.
Once your name was so beautiful to me
Beauty has faded to disgust
I loathe the very memory of our being
My heart grows cold
Like the chill of winter
Frozen amid the ice and snow
From the winds of my past

Do you look upon us with bittersweet nostalgia?
Or do you recoil at our cursed union like I do?
To be capable of love
Means also to be capable of hate
When love is gone all that remains is hate

Now I suffer regret.
Regret at knowing you
Regret for loving you
Regret I cannot change time
You stole four years of my life
Thief

You are a demon I need to exorcise
A vampire, you bled me dry
I never want to be like you
Alas I talk to a ghost of my past
For I died the day you left me

The Forgotten Realm of Reflection and Meditation

I am a lone voice
the echo of my soul
dissipating on the wind
Is the meditation of my heart a lost cause?
when no one listens
and no one cares
who is there to speak to?
Like a drop in the ocean,
absorbed like quicksand
I empty myself into this digital void
only to discover emptiness

Bury the End of Me

Little things invoke distant memories
of bittersweet nostalgia that brings to mind the pain of past lives
This is in memory of friendship now lost
of loved ones long since dead to me
Of times when in innocence I loved and laughed
The happiness I shared in the time of growing
but sometimes maturity comes at a price
and my past is dead to me.

I still live yet so much of my joy died long ago
This is in memory of Nathan
This is in memory of Esther
You gave so much to me
and you wrenched so much away
Ruptured and bleeding I mourn
Now I bury the end of me.

Moments that spark a myriad of potential futures

Like a refreshing summer's breeze she walks by,
Her allure ever increasing, scintillating and teasing
then gone.
Moments add up, time passes by
every new encounter paints a new picture,
a flash of inspiration
but opportunities keep evading me.
What goes through her mind when she sees me?
Do I register with her at all?
Am I a part of her world?
So I return to my present state of being
Never knowing what impact I've had
Left to wonder what could be...
Hoping that my courage does not fail me
Left to imagine a future not yet born
Hoping she feels the same way too?
