Galaxy.

A new sun dawns in my hazy morning sky, capturing my heart's song like the most precious lullaby. Your eyes speak volumes of the pain that you have endured, but I am here now so you can rest assured. I will take you in my arms and wipe away the tears, as I speak to you of visions I have of future years. We will hold one another's hand as we find the strength to proceed, thank you for showing me what it means to truly succeed. I crave your lips and your thoughts so profound whenever I am down, lost and then found, you have added spirit to my life's unoccupied ghost town. We can climb the highest mountains and sail the lonely seas, as you fill my head with stories whispered by your voice that is reminiscent of a summer's breeze. Intrigued to say the least, I feast upon you like the finest cuisines of the Middle East. Like frankincense and myrrh, you are the greatest gift of all; just promise me you will be there to catch me when I fall. I trust in you as I learn to walk on my own again, as we tell one another our dreams about how our meeting was preordained. Your symphonic melody soothed my soul like Bach's concertos for violin, hold me as I feel your rhythm underneath my skin. My heart beats in unison with yours, like the waves that ebb and flow serenely against the world's sandy shores. You are the only drug I will need from this day forth, my guiding star shining and leading me to salvation in the north. You have painted with vibrancy on the canvas of my life mixing blues, and greens and aquamarines to create the most perfect art. I know I have chosen correctly, I could tell from the start when your smile ignited the fire that now burns wildly within my heart. Yours until the sweet end, I cannot wait to grow old and grey with you, together we will surely transcend as we glisten in each other's eyes, like sweet morning dew. I feel enlightened for the first time in years, as I have realized that some things can be much more divine than the diamonds that already appear. You can fill my night skies with your starry eyes that fill me with wonder, you have put me back together, no longer scattered or asunder. Like thunder, my soul basks in your very essence, I turn the tide and thank the universe for this ethereal convalescence. The Princess Leia to my Luke, as these feelings are surely not just by fluke. Similar to me in every way, no room for opposites to repel in our case. You have freed my galaxy from the black hole that threatened to devour me, and beautified me in the process like the palms that align the Arabian Sea. I am your oyster as I wait anxiously to present you with my pearl; you can have all of me, everything, from my ocean's floor to the top of my world. Back to earth as I lay my head softly down to sleep, for once in my life I can proudly say that I have looked and liked what I've seen reflected back before taking a leap.

Last Train Home.

I ride the train home with my heart in my hand, knowing walking away is the right decision. You were a skilled surgeon, with the knife in your hand that broke my heart with your final incision. Naiveté led me to believe that you were the knight who would save my dreams, I assumed we were two peas in a pod as you used your charm to trick me into thinking we were a team. Misled again as the blood drained from my face, filling my journey with horror as I long for the pain to be replaced. I refuse to regress and return to past vices, although they are tempting, sobriety is more enticing. I want to be conscious as my soul cries out with pain, I yearn to feel the sorrow that washes over me like the rain. We could have conquered castles and taken over Rome, but instead I seek out my mother's hand, hoping to feel the comfort that is home. Unburdened of your child's play, colour no longer seems as bright; as the silent reverie I find in sleep veiled in the darkness that is night. I have lived throughout the worst but this cut feels the deepest, I used to be as noble as kings, my kingdom entirely elitist. My journey transpires into a mission that robs me of my reality, as I crawl into a ball unconcerned with our duality. Your eyes hypnotized me concealing the lies they hid within, as the smile falls off my face encasing me in a cloud of my own chagrin. The sun falls out of my sky accosting me for my neglect, as I have been stripped of my happiness as a result of your disrespect. In retrospect this is entirely of my own doing, as I attempt to remove the foot from my mouth, and realize its my own heart that I was chewing. Confusion creates chaos as it crawls upon my skin, ceasing celebrations, I can't stop my suffering. My journey home ends with clarity setting on the horizon, I prepare to disembark, older now as I hope that I have learned from this and finally wizened.

Phoenix.

Everything falls into place so perfectly, smoothing out my picture and providing serenity. Calm now that the storm has passed, collected as I realize that the days went by so fast. I am overcome with peace that washes over me in waves, forgiven of my sins my future has been saved. I have let go of the past that haunted me in my reverie, survived the fire like a phoenix rising from debris. I hold on tight to my security for it has taken so long to appear, as I count my blessings one more time, so thankful that I am no longer filled with fear. Destroyed in seconds was the notion of love that we were convinced was real, as I take a deep breath and listen to my heart and how it feels. I could no longer endure the pain of playing pretend in a glass house, I have emerged with strength as I transitioned into man from mouse. I no longer hide behind stories and lies, I have realized that the love I feel inside only needs to be reflected in my own eyes. I feel the warm summer rain as it cleanses my soul, nourishing me effortlessly, it has renewed me, making me feel whole. Caught up in the rapture of knowing I have prevailed, as I release each breath freely, no longer waiting to exhale. I see my worth for what it is, no longer self-conscious or insecure, my sense of self was jaded, embittered by your world so impure. I catch myself smiling knowing that I am safe plus sound, as I regain my balance and take flight, finally back on solid ground. My epiphany was revealed to me when I found the will to live again, the dopamine gone yet I still wanted to respect myself, and be my own best friend. Happiness comes from within and not from external sources, as I have surrendered to my hopefulness, as majestic and beautiful as white horses. Though lovers be lost, love shall not as it always finds its way back, my world has renewed with vibrancy and colour, no longer painted black. Rejoicing as I realize it could have been much worse, I have survived time after time, my good karma always reimbursed. I have taken flight as I now soar above the world so high, refusing to look back and only staying in the moment, I bid moments gone adieu and say goodbye.
