Your Place

To find your place in the Universe
Keep you feet on the ground
Your head in the clouds
Your eyes to the stars
And you heart beyond
From there the rest is up to you

Destiny

An image of Destiny is carved
By the crescent of light in your eye
The silver lining in the clouds
And by following your dreams to the end

By the crescent of light in your eye
Or the desire in your soul
And by following your dreams to the end
True happiness can be achieved

Or the desire in your soul
Can help you realize
True happiness can be achieved
When the stars align

I can help you realize
Nothing special will occur
When the stars align
It is merely a cosmic event

Nothing special will occur
Every day of our lives
It is merely a cosmic event
To actually be alive

Every day of our lives
We should consider ourselves lucky
To actually be alive
In this day and age

We should consider ourselves lucky
To have what we have
In this day and age
Even though we aren't all incredibly fortunate

To have what we have
Is our destiny
Even though we aren't all incredibly fortunate
Use what you have wisely

Is our destiny
To destroy ourselves
Use what you have wisely
Because not everyone can

With our tools; dreams unforgotten
The silver lining in the clouds
or a glimer of hope to cling upon
An image of Destiny is carved

Warmth

Not just the temperature of your skin
Nor is it that clichè tingling in your heart
I speak of pure bliss
Simply taking in the day for what it's worth
As you tilt your head back
You look at the sky
The sun's rays shimmering off your smile
Or likewise at night
Gazing deeply into the midnight diamond
Crystaline powder tossed as far as the eye can see
Similarly when you hold a delicate life in your hands
One of the greatest creations cradled in an arm
A blank slate capable of being a masterpiece
The things I am most fond of
Are the things some and sadly most
Take for granted
The things in this life that give me warmth

Fear

The act of being afraid
That tingle down your spine
A pounding shock on your nerves
When you feel defenseless
When what you fear
Is staring you in the face
An instant terror
Pupils shrink
Skin crawls
Cold sweat
Consuming you
Shaking you of hope
Like the feel of a razor
Dancing down your flesh
An unforgiving jolt
Degrading your humanity
Sluggish to think
Accelerated heartbeat
Crying out for help
But no words come to mind
Just unintelligible shrieks
Trying to escape
That sensation to run
Burns your legs to cinders
You can't move
Paralyzed in horror
Muscles twitch
Hair stands on end
Only hoping
Pleading for safety
Options give way
Logical thought sways
All that envelops your mind
Is Fear

When Will the Madness End?

From sorrow there is hope
From pain there is tolerance
From hunger there is indulgence
One can not live without the other
Facts of life
Unversal truths of humanity
From fear there is courage
From solitude there are consolances
From madness there is sanity
The world is a scale
That can not be tipped
Harmony is found in the balance
Not between good and evil
Nor among any force so plain
As black and white
But in shades of gray
Patterns of gray
As well as demensions
...of gray
None right or wrong
That is why the scale can not be tipped

Torn

I stand here convicted
My crime, selfishness
If only I could hide
My emotions better
Or at least wait
To cry
I have never felt
Such a pain of guilt
I feel more to blame
My very presence
Is like a drug
Stimulating the senses
But irrevocably
Damaging
The conflict of
What I want and
What others need
It activates the drug
I can't stop it
I can't shut up
Everyone will bleed
Because of me
Why did I do this
I am an illusion
A false reality
Of hope
destiny
friendship
love
and kindness
The darkest pits
Never yet seen
If I cause more
Pain
I must bring light
To the Illusion

In Theory

In theory anything can be explained
Why we are here and what is our purpose
The mysteries of the Universe explained
Human genetic codes cracked
What will become of us
When we finally "meet our maker"
The world that lies beyond discovered
Time itself mastered by humans
The power of an almighty being
In the hands of mortals
To be used to attain ultimate control
Control of the fabric of reality
Through logic
Through hard work
Through discovery
Anything, everything, and beyond
Defined and redefined to fit our image
Or what we blindly believe to be us
Mathmatics
Science
Astronomy
Astrology
Biology
Language
Literature
Mere quarks, tips of the iceberg
Of what can be explained in theroy
Will they ever become more
Probably not

The Eye of Quinque

The Eye of Passion casts a hopeful gaze upon minuscule charity

searching for the slightest of glistens in the infinite chasms of desolation

The Eye of Truth constantly seeking an irrefutable answer to aver mortal quandaries

to uncover that which is essentially nonexistent drives the Eye to destruction

The Eye of Fury is blinded by the self-evident truth that can not be escaped

by leering without blinking the Eye becomes arid and soon fades into oblivion

The Eye of Gloom strains to witness the horrors the world creates merely by living

the children of this world continue to scratch the festering wound they have bored

The Eye of Fidelity maintains faith through clandestine glances

waiting for the right moment when all deserve the cleansing tear of forgiveness

(this is an older poem, but I still like it)

Let It Out

When I cry I feel like it's staged
No one is around to fool except me
I am not used to crying
Happiness and bliss direct my days
So when I have to cry it doesn't feel real
Being unfamiliar with sadness
I feel it is a true gift
But also a curse
For when sadness creeps
It hurts twice as bad
I scream to myself for some reason
"It isn't fair!"
But life has been more than fair
I am lucky to know the pain
When I let it out

Etheral

A lone figure,
standing on an icy ledge,
staring into the mist.
Against the background,
the figure is still,
admiring the infinite view
of blue.
Sky of silk,
its whips lapping the figure.
Ground of glass,
an azure sheen to stand upon.
Alone.
Quiet.
Befriending the absence.

Perpetual Passion

No beginning, yet no end.
An endless ray of affection
To any pain, it can mend.
Taking any direction
The paths of our souls away.
Discontent bends from my heart
By you, my fears led astray
And my worries never start.
Beating in my chest I feel,
Ringing in my ears I hear,
Before your feet I will kneel,
To confess what I hold dear.
Our fated love is truly
Fortuitous destiny.
