Transcendental

Transcendental; they said,

                and I did not.

I knew not, could not see

with mine own eyes open.

It’s more than being,

                eternity does end,

                a speck in space, stopped,

still in the air and turned.

Transcendental; I say not.

                Open eyes stay closed

And only closed eyes are truly

                open.

Seeing what is not there,

                what never was,

   but ever is to be.

Transcendental; fade away.

No overarching goal,

no encompassing meaning.

                Just beginning and end.

                Time and no time.

The life after death

exists in the earth.

                Decompose; vanish

allowing some seed

to take growth,

                and replace.

Unity

Unity bred from brokeness
Hearts torn in two
Children of the darkness
I find myself in you

You are a light that grants sanity
A reason not to fear
You are a torch that beckons me
I'm so lost without you here

I fight my urge to trust you
And lose the battle every time
There is so much you make me do
With a soul that doesn't feel like mine

Its your eyes that make me crazy
And fill me with such comfort
The sweet and caring looks that phase me
And make me want to breath in your support

And in your arms I feel so open
So vulnerable and weak
I push down the tears that I hold in
Every time you and I speak

You cannot see me cry
If you do than I would leave
I'm not quite sure as to why
But I know crying makes me weak

I want to lie in your arms forever
But I wish these memories would fade
So that when we are together
Only pleasant thoughts invade

Still you draw me out,
With your charm and gentle way
And even though I'm filled with fear and doubt
In your arms I want to stay

Who I am

I am a woman but I'm not made of stone,
My heart is not metal that moves on its own,
I have feelings and thoughts that plague me at night
In the dark and cold hours where there is no light
I put up a wall so the world cannot see me
But chase silly fantasies and worn out dreams
I stand tall and try not to stumble at all
But when night comes I crumble and tears start to fall
I act like words don't phase me in my heart
But most of them hit me like a poison tipped dart
I could write forever about what goes on inside
But no one who knows me needs the insight
They know that I'm human and I've made mistakes
Some that will follow me until the end of my days
And they see me as if they are looking through glass
The fronts and the airs they can all see past
The shield that I guard myself with is crystal to them
Something they can pierce with the tiniest pin
They are the ones closest to my soul
The ones that I love and will never let go
And when they look at me they don't see the cracks
The fissures and imperfections and the things that I lack
They see the beauty and art of what's there
Something different, unique, without compare,
And that is the way it always should be
I go through this life without those I love judging me
I don't need to tell them a story of all the things that are wrong
I only need to breathe in their love and know I belong
There's a world out there filled with darkness and hate,
But I'm sure everyone I love can relate
So we walk through together, sometimes hand in hand
Sometimes one behind the other, sometimes with no plan
But we are together, and that is what counts
And together the world could not bring us down
