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.

Inception

Disguised in a coat of your own lies, the truth hides behind your eyes sending frissons of terror up and down my spine. From the moment you were mine, I knew something was off, as you lustfully electrocuted my heart and made me cough. The shock of finding you plotting my assassination made me lose my breath, you were my most fickle fascination. You pervaded my mind and rewired my brain, until I was morbidly mundane; it was not an admirable state, just heckled with habitual hate. I created a monster, you were my Frankenstein, as you ravaged my England with your flawed design. Lightning and thunder cowered in shame when you were around, as you reaped my soul and I was happily homeward bound. You were the thorn that cut my insides, filled my heart with bitterness then tossed me aside. You were the zit that refused to leave, as you weaved stories that you expected me to believe. Naive no more, I have walked out the door into a life of my own. I am the king now, you have been dethroned. Swallow your pride and prepare to be hung, my swan song is sung as I remove your tongue. You slandered my name and made me out to be the beast, you were hardly the beauty, nor were you the priest. Holier than thou until you realized your faults, reap what you sow or prepare for my acidulous assault. My massive attack will consist of missiles and blows, as you hoard all the cocaine that you can up your nose, ready yourself to be exposed. You were rarely the victim yet played the martyr card so well, for your lies and treachery, you will surely rot with the worst within the depths of Hell. Pray for your soul and repent your heavy sins, or watch idly by as I rebuild the wall in your personal Berlin. I will imprison you in a house built by your own shame, you should have run for the hills instead of trying to defeat me at my own game. Always lame, you rarely conquered, never came. Gather your senses or embrace my hits, as you will surely need them for this battle of wits. Your intellect failed to generate even the slightest response from me, you were insipid on your brightest day; the worst company. I regret that you were the one I picked, I should have been able to predict that you were entirely derelict. I abandoned your ship in the high seas, cut my losses finally, you were my disease. Freedom reigns as I have triumphed yet again, captured by rapture, no longer afraid or insane. The aftermath of us erupts with rancid puss, creating the worst chemical reaction to date, you were as deadly as phosphorus. Your cheating ways have expired along with your birthdays, it was more than necessary, your life in shambles, and total disarray. The next time you attempt to gain someone's trust, practice what you preach or prepare to spontaneously combust. The shock wave of our tsunami love has freed the inhabitants of the earth, liberating me in the process, I can finally see my worth. Your villainous vigour is now obsolete, cower in fear when you encounter me in the streets. Hatred filled every pore and fibre of my being, I have since gained the release that I needed, no longer in moments so fleeting. Cured of the cancer you conjured into my life, from the moment of inception, I knew you would cause me much strife. I stripped away your layers revealing the scared little boy that you really were, watched you fall apart with such haste as your pathetic life replayed before our eyes in a blur, what a waste. You were the misconception that I needed to understand, your deception was unwelcome so I took a stand. Karma will surely teach you the lesson you need to learn, refusing to add fuel to the fire, I choose to remain noble, satisfied that you will surely burn.
