Did you know?

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Friendship, Mystery

Did you know

My friend

Did you know this was the end

 

Did you know

That I believe

 

Did you know

Thought it would never leave

 

I cried a thousand tears

Felt like dying for years

Gave a hundred nights

Without losing to this fight

I know what was wrong and I cannot believe

That we fell apart and now you leave

 

Did you know

That I cared

Did you know that I believed

 

Did you know

My dreams

I burned them all to know I cared

 

Could you see that flame dying within me

Feel that light fading from view

 

I am gone and I can’t believe

Best at loving what I can’t see

 

Did you know

Could you be

With me

Did you ever believe

Lying in Dream

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Friendship, Mystery, Spiritual

Sometimes this dreaming

            Is what I am seeing

Sometimes this believing

            Is what I am needing

Sometimes this thieving

            Is what I am feeding

Sometimes this grieving

            Is what I am bleeding

Sometimes this deceiving

            Is what I am

Quiet Voices Shouting Loud

Posted by in Author's Favorites, Coffee - Volume One, Friendship, Mystery

That night,

do you remember

My eyes were lost

Everything seemed so blurry

I couldn’t see the truth

But feeling it was a different matter

I heard the tear drops as they fell from the sky

I swear I could feel them on my skin

It was simple yet confusing, serious yet playful

But all I could listen to was whispers

Voices from both of us that we couldn’t hear


They were quietly relentless

Telling us everything of how we felt

Speaking of feeling nothing and everything so raw

Relaxed yet anticipating, voices that often go unheard

Where were we going, did I listen to those voices

Is this path my choice or simply random fate

It was like wandering in darkness

But I liked it, the only light I saw was you

Passion

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Defiant, Love, Mystery, Romantic

A fire breathing in my chest like a hot ember searing into my mind.

 

The frailty of my thought trying to desperately wash it away.

 

My memory as if I was being engulfed in an inferno.

 

No avail. It burns.

Deep flagrant wounds scar my skin.

 

No water will quench the fury that passes through it.

 

Blistering, my skin touches itself in shear agony.

 

It passes my comprehension of survivable pain.

 

Then it subsides. It feels again.

Cool air waifs across it.

 

Tender sprites caress it from an invisible beyond.

 

Thought becomes liquid again, not harsh and concentrated.

 

Here is love.

Cherishing the fire within.

Window Rain

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Friendship, Mystery

Do you see me

I’ve waited so long to be touched

My hand on this pane

Waiting for the rain to go away

I hear my heartbeat wonder

As if my soul has gone silent as thunder

Felt without a name

 

I am waiting

I’ve thought about the shame

Is it like a teardrop in winter

Or perhaps like summertime rain

Do you know what I think of

When I’m trying to lose myself in pain

 

I’ve got no where else to see

No time left to feel what’s me

I’m just waiting as this rain goes by

Trying to provide excuses and reasons why

I can’t hold onto dreaming forever

But never shall you know this heartfelt weather

Damned and Cursing

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Mystery, Regret

Cursed was my fate
But a journey I was destined to take
My path was chosen by others
Do I hate the choices they made
I swore at them for revenge
My words angry and without delay
Did those bastards enjoy it
Forcing my love to betray
Did they hate me as I hate them
Can they feel my cursing this day

Evanescent Soul

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Mystery

This mist hides my view
Perhaps this is where I am
Lost and inescapable
Everything fading away

My soul is like water
Stirred upon the rocks within life
Like a river forced to find itself
Pooling in wait until it flows no more

This place could be where I am
Like this dark suit I wear today
Evading your view has been easy
As elusive a prey as I’ve been scared to be

In these shadows I am not lost
Merely another figure amongst his friends
No light can shine upon my heart
For it is lost within this place I’ve yet to find

Yet when your smile comes forth
It’s the only light that I welcome
That is when this emptiness I am
Will discover what was lost to these shadows

Will this desire I search for outside this place
Help me discover the feelings I had in the light
Will this void within me be consumed in fire
Or will it swallow my hopes as I’ve learned it does


This thing I have been missing
It made me different from all these others
I was once unique as you are
But today I am only my shadow

You perhaps can see what I cannot
The color that was once my soul
Your vision may light this unlit path before me
So that I may find my way

I hear the voices within this darkness
They want me to always stay
I fear they may keep my company longer
For I lost view of your light and my way

Can you hear the voices calling my name
I can’t even remember the words they speak
My spirit is cold and numb from losing myself
How did you come to find me here so weak

Please smile once more for what I know
I need your light more than just to see
My feet are tired and I say good-bye
Thank you forever as I fade away

At least in darkness my spirit survives
Today or tomorrow I may find a way
To break this litany and go forth to the day
Good-bye light, I miss you as I stay
