Nature’s Wine

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Loss, Regret, Spiritual

Subtle wind across my mind

Gail breeze cuts like a blade

Enter winters hallow from scarlet limb

This freezing pain is all I need

Failing sounds fall from my ears

Jagged ice digs through my veins

Water drops tapping remind me of fear

Wine glass dropping signals the fade

Peaceful dreaming was never to stay

Screams of broken terror fill this glade

Razor’s Edge

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Defiant, Loss, Regret

Something kept me going

Didn’t know if I would last

Nearly lost it so many times

Simply see if I shouldn’t be

Yet I survived always knowing

That I had done so in the past

How close I came sometimes

Was how I nearly came to see

Lady in Black

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Creative Writing, Love, Regret, Spiritual

I looked into this mirror made of tears that had fallen like rain. The stain of your black eyes told a story so bold that you could see both dream and nightmare. So many voices had whispered into this pool of your emotion and you never wanted to share that pain. Alone you could be strong; never needing, never fearing that you could be abandoned. By destroying yourself, the fear of watching such wonderful feelings hurt would never been felt. Yet evey beautiful drop of emotion revealed by your eyes as the reflection of yourself became clearer, the vision of your soul became realized, and you accepted someone loved you.

Tears of Sin

Posted by in Coffee - Volume Two, Loss, Regret

Can you see the angel?
so pale with a hidden heart
not knowing the love she gives
or accepting that she is loved

Her tears fall from the sky
drops of joy and despair falling to my skin
yet her pain never fades within
and the rain softly touches me like sin

The cup you couldn’t have

Posted by in Coffee, Coffee - Volume Two, Loss, Regret

Your cup was empty
You knew it was gone
But you still reached for it
Like it was part of you
The best part of you
A little piece of perfection
Something that could never be replaced
It was a mirage
A shadow cast by your own soul
You became the fool
Trying to reach for something
That didn’t exist
Something you dreamed of
And tried to believe in
A simple cup
Filled with a wonderful life
A dream of something so perfect
That only a fool
Would succeed in reaching it once
And spill it

Coincidence & Coffee

Posted by in Author's Favorites, Coffee, Coffee - Volume Two, Daily thoughts, Dedicated Poems, Friendship, Regret, Romantic

I wasn’t thinking

of anything

Listening to the music

trying to live

just a little crazy

Life was asking me for coffee

it was the only thing that I seem to love

And there you were

smiling, being you

I couldn’t remember the thought

what I wanted

or needed

I just waved hello

then faded away

A brief crazy second

something that was supposed to happen

But for you

I was gone

Soulfire

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Regret, Spiritual

This burning feeling

            A hatred searing my skin

It burns me

            I burn myself

Can I not be happy within

            Is this damnation I give

Or is this feeling I cannot live

            I lust for the calming

 

I want nothing more than my peace

            Can I never hear my thoughts

My mind so rash I scream within

            Please let these thoughts relent

I cannot give myself this calm

            For I have never forgiven this doubt

I am not to blame yet I hate this game

            When will I forgive myself?

 

I believed in everything

 

Simple thoughts are all I am

                        Things most people don’t understand

            The meaning is lost within these words

                                    Simply confusing as I often am

                        Some say there are many choices

            Yet some choices are only just one

Drowning in Dreams

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Loss, Regret, Spiritual

Am I alone

Can I hear my own thoughts

What is that whispering

Am I drowning in my dreams

 

Is this world my imagination

the fire and the screaming

I can’t feel my remorse

Is this me living

 

My hands feel like water

They touch without substance

Only weights pulling me down

Is this my world I’m breathing

 

Yes this is my dreaming

My world without feeling

The thoughts of my desires

Dreams always seem so fleeting

 

I cannot imagine

What worlds are like without believing

This is my world of living

Am I drowning in dreaming

Can I Breathe?

Posted by in Coffee - Volume One, Regret

I couldn’t breathe

No I couldn’t see

I couldn’t breathe

It was you or me

 

Where does this path take me now

            am I gone for good

Where does this path take me now

            when will this be understood

 

I couldn’t breathe

No I couldn’t feel

I couldn’t breathe

It was like the devil on my soul

 

Do you know I am forsaken

            can you see the love for me

Do you know I am forsaken

            how can I love the person I’ll be

 

I couldn’t breathe

No I couldn’t stand

I couldn’t breathe

This was blood on the sand

 

Do you know I lost my better half

            can you see who I’ve become

Do you know I lost my better half

            how did this hatred come

 

 

 

I couldn’t breathe

No I couldn’t believe

I couldn’t breathe

It was the dark side of me

 

Do you see the light that’s shining

            how does it miss my soul

Do you see the light that’s shining

            why does it burn me so

 

I couldn’t breathe

No I wanted just to see

I couldn’t breathe

This was where I’ll be

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
