Category Archives: Poetry and Creative Writing For Those Who Dream

Just linger for a moment and let your self dream and imagine with me.
This is where I post my abstract thoughts, confessional poetry and abstract musings set to music.
This is for those who dream.
Because those who dream, must create.
Be it art, music, ideas or writing. Express your imagination.

So play the videos while you read and keep your head in the clouds. Keep creating and most of all keep dreaming.

JE SUIS UNE ÉTOILE

I am not just a mind.                                                                   I am not just a heart.                                                                              I am not just a body.                                                                             I am not just a spirit.

I am a star. 

Forged in the fiercest of circumstances.                                               A glorious medley of blood and brilliant stardust. 

Regarde moi!                                                                                      

One day I will resume my place among the heavens.

How did it come to this

The space between us crackles with the lightening of disengagement.

The toxic, iron-fisted chasm haunts my every movement.

The space between us grows unrelenting; our play-it-safe routine.

This  voluminous void of silence is unbearably deafening to me.

The space between us is a haunted and barren wasteland.

Because we don’t bend for each other, we  splinter in isolation.

The space between us is cataclysmal; it’s ravaged all that was.

We ignore. The gaping  abyss threatens to swallow and devour us.

The space between hollows me out, carves the life away.

Until I empty my mind, and continue pretending nothing’s changed.

Tame

The blue sky rained shards of glass, as we sunk down through the sand.     While lilies sealed our lips into oblivion, eternal.                   You loved the world once, that great adventure that dangles on string.                                                                       But the world spit you out.

Final in its condemnation. You and I were left with nothing but each other’s arms as reinforcement.                                                                         The world burns in flames, clawing at our humanity.                 It wants to blot out our spark for life, till we surrender our charms.                                                                     But we’ve stopped trying to meet its demands.  

We veered from the race they predetermined.                       The air grows sweeter here; where butchers no longer reach us.                   Shackles and dead things crumble; darkness tips out from our souls.                                                                          

We found peace in absolution, freedom in disregard.  As we step into the light armed with the knowledge: That the world can no longer name us                                         and can therefore never tame us.

Thank You

You smell like the dazzling first breath                                       

of a vibrant, long-awaited spring.                                      

You are the spackle filling the cracks                                          

to smooth my ever-creeping doubts.                                      

Your honey-drizzled-truths caress my fears away.                     

You steady my swaying mind.                                            

Without you, I winnow into nothing.                                            

I can never repay your kindness.                                          

When my mind spirals into darkness.                                   

You are the cure for my madness.

Descent

The coal mine lies beneath my feet.                                                

I walk with no reminding.                                                            

Upside down the chaos shifts.                                              

Tectonic plates keep grinding.                                                    

The sun concedes its hallowed feast.                                       

The night forever binding.                                                                 

And I am still hung inside out.                                          

Emotions smudged in hiding.

Rattled

You rattle my words loose.                                                          

Pieces crumble out                                                                          

from the corners of my skull.                                                     

I’m loosened like a drug.

From one corner of space to another                               

stretching out all elastic                                                                     

lost words tumble forth.                                                                 

Lost thoughts I can not grasp.

My mind fractures                                                                 

burdened with weight.                                                                    

I’m so tired                                                                                   

and the world moves                                                                     

… too fast.

Battlefield

Your lips are battered roses                                                                 

I am armed to the teeth.                                                              

Trees bow                                                                                                        

the season ends.                                                                                  

Our swords lay abandoned                                                             

in dead-eyed fields.                                                                            

Let nature claim it                                                                                 

it’s over.                                                                                                      

We can go home.                                                                          

There’s no need                                                                                     

to build this war.

TWO SISTERS

Two sisters stand before the world was born  eating moonbeams and wicker bones.

One wore the moon on her back
the other wore stars in her hair.

Wishes flicked from their lips
her runes winking in the sun.

Until the dawn that daybreak broke
rained violent love through space.  

It bid them bathe in a silver lake
where shattered souls are mended. 

So they dove the waters deep
until it spun the clock reset.   

Now sparkling with starlight
weightless with time and breath.  

New life springs up from their steps
and so the world begets.
