A Dark Expanse of Nothingness

It is in the beginning that holds us true…
From the awakenings…to the loneliest of endings…

Darkness always falls down from the side of our world…
From the shores of another…unfolds the end of our daylight.

It is in the indulges of our humanity…
That holds us apart from our faith…
Where mind loses to hate.

Betrayal always falls down from the back of angels…
From the stories of wonderful childish memories…
To our own cries for tomorrow…

It is in fear that we walked…
Lost in love…in life’s undying memories of failed emotions.

Nothingness starts from having everything…
Arise from our humble beginnings to the fall of our own greatness.

It is in lust…we find ourselves
In a vast expanse of nothingness…
Where love is in defeat…a total bliss of loneliness…

Regret begins where our love ends…
From the lingering thoughts of salvation…
To rampant daydreams of our past life…

It is in this nothingness…
I embrace the darkest days of my life.

Under the Night Sky of Strangers

Beneath the lines of selfless sympathy
In the course of living free…
We find ourselves in the midst of undying misfortune…

Underneath the skies of rumors and denials…
Strangers we have become…
We find ourselves lost in words of regret…

Under the pale skies of this unforgiving gossip…
Tattletales of people inexperienced with the summer skies…
We discover ourselves strangers again…

Beneath the night sky of strangers…
In the darkest of times….
We lie in our deepest thoughts…searching for meaning…

Underneath the soft shadows of my Irish moon…
Within the grip of denial…
We realize the truth to our past…

Under the perfect clouds of deception…
Illusions of a faultless love affair….
We became unfamiliar to the pain of our own memories.

Strangers again under these doubtful skies of life…

In a World of Pain

We have shared our love in this world without mercy...
A place of doubt and lies...
Nevertheless, we found sanctuary in the arms of each other

We have controlled our emotions...
Left the questions hanging and kept the bad things away...
For a time we were in the arms of each other.

We never forced our hearts to love one another...
Ignored the uncertainty so that our love will blossom...
I have no regrets with the time that we spent...in the arms of each other

We have traveled away from our fears...
Knowing the beauty of what we have...
Never knew that the door will close...without the arms of each other.

We have enjoyed the vision of being together...
The wish of spending time...in each others arms...
In this world of pain.

Match Sticks of Glass Men

A light which disappears behind sheer glass...
The truth misunderstood...
A flicker of fire that holds no certainty...
Rumors that become fact by gossip...
A boxed flame of passion...
Love that is not given because of fear...
A fire stick of a glass man...
Glow of emotions with a clear purpose...
My love is as true as a verve match burning...
As clear as crystal...a match stick of glass men.
