Literature

-Desert Rose-

It was in a dessert of my own design that I found her wondering Her light brown eyes offering oasis to my shriveled heart We held each other by moonlight as she probed my ponderings I caressed her skin as she kissed my broken parts And for a life's breath her and I wondered together With every step she took life bloomed at her feet And for the briefest of heartbeats I dreamed we would be forever With every whispered song of sweet dreams I would miss a thousand years of sleep For upon the dawn I reached for her but she was gone And for a day my tears flowed like a river pooling at my feet My chest tight and my head low as I sat in memory of her song A day turned to night turned to the swirl of eternity It is truly the comedy of gods that such loss would be so sweet That in eternity there is only humility and in humility only sweet defeat For every song was a reflection of me in a tone that evoked possibility Only in the dream of a god could such an illusion embody such beauty It's a beauty that only she could seem to see A beauty she would sing as I would sleep In a tone that would sink into my deepest energy A song that would show me the immensity of me As I awoke from my sorrow my eyes fell upon an unbelievable sight My heart grew quiet and my eyes began to gleam For I found myself at a waters edge that was not there in the night Upon my heart sat a message that sorrow is never what it seems As this new life radiated around me I sat to count my beads Feeling the energy flow through me I could finally see my own beauty

Literature

-Molding Smoke-

I have fallen into the smoke into the depths of glowing embers To burn away the beast in me only to grow another In the throws of this oblivion my heart has been starved and battered My mind tested and crushed my mask taken and shattered Again and again, this cycle and I share a name But there's this funny thing about life, nothing stays the same As I breath over placid lakes and sit atop ancient icebergs I have learned of true love and the hidden power of words It's been in these flames that I've burned away lifeless days Until the night an angel betrayed where the future is made Far beneath Me to the depths of this being A baby boy lies cold and screaming It is now my purpose to empower that child To convince him that he controls the wild This body is a conduit for an unseen soul Its future and texture in his power to mold

-Don't Call It a Comeback- by happinessisearned, literature

Literature

-Don't Call It a Comeback-

Don’t call it a comeback I was never really here before Lost on the line between a lie and a fact Fighting the future truth had in store I walked a road of dust snow and rain I climbed mountains that rose to God's breath All along the way I have carried this cain All along all I feared was death When I fell I fell into everything Every pebble that tripped me Every little bird that sang When I fell the fear was free of me What does it mean to be here What does it mean to be heard If there is a world in a tear Is there a charm in a third The beginning is an end The end is a beginning But what of this time of friends What of this worl

Literature

-As a Flower-

Picture, for a moment, yourself as a flower on a tree That is all Picture the happenings of your life as the weather It rains It snows You face high winds that batter you miraculously But you don't exist for those moments, do you? You exist for sunlight You exist for warmth Your pedals are indeed soft, maybe even delicate But you survive You endure For the days of sunlight when you can bloom The days you can truly be you And in the days to come, you may be battered You may be left weathered But remember You still exist For the Sun For the warmth

-Rouge-

I wake up wanting you In this cold dark you're nowhere near Dazed in this haze blind to the truth I've grown cold in these long years Gone is the joy of my youth I float in the emptiness of fear You were my star I was a planet spinning helplessly We would come so close then run so far Our cycle tortured and caressed me I see now how holding on was so hard Why I spun off into eternity Now a rogue planet lost in cold dark Pride has a way of forcing humility I've never forgotten your place in my sky Your light was empyrean I've passed so many stars on my journey Felt their warmth on my skin But my core 'd grown too cold to be lovely Their li

-Hunger- by happinessisearned, literature

Literature

-Hunger-

*rumble* Ignore the pain. There's nothing there. Nothing you can do now. Plus my head's spinnin. My cheeks have sunk in. My neck is so thin. Wrinkles crease such young skin. Under my eyes, dark bags hang heavy. In this room I sit. Dingy white walls, old wood floors. No purpose anymore; no passion, no pity. I pray to Lotto tickets now. Never seen God save shit. Only sinners smile here. Where the meek die drugged. Locked in a pit we call "poverty." This room is so cold and bare. Why am I even here? Am I even here? Am I just drugged out in a pit they call "poverty?"

-Black Smoke- by happinessisearned, literature

Literature

-Black Smoke-

Black smoke floats, in the grey light of overcast Under a hidden sun, flakes of snow tumble down Down glass walls that reach from the sky Past where power lines hung high and drones now fly These walls of glass stand cracked and some shattered The world reflected in the shards as it burns Street signs and cars mangled and charred Symbols of religions sprayed over symbols of religions In the distance fade the lessons of wisdom Storefront LEDs still glow in the rubble of fallen walls Once a place of bridal shops and cafes A theater and an opera hall All now lay in valley of ruin A light-rail car sits in a crater of ash and flame Bodies lay

-She Loved Me- by happinessisearned, literature

Literature

-She Loved Me-

Blades sway like waves The winds swirl like the ghosts of stallions at play For miles around not but one tree It must be so lonely being so free On a single branch hangs a single cage This golden cage holds a bird of prey As he sleeps he holds his dreams tight He dreams of his soul, he dreams of flight Suddenly the hawk awakens in a wild rage He hears his fathers echo, "no son of mine shall be shackle by a cage" Thrashing and bashing his heart burns for the sky Driven to be free, to be confined is to die As the cage shakes and sways Gold bars begin to fall to the blades As sudden as his rage he now falls free Unable to fly with bloody and

Literature

-Dry Rivers-

Large paws sink Deep into frozen mists Kicking up trails behind them Tiny white flakes glimmer Reflecting the fading light Landing lightly on tree trunks On fallen branches that protrude Leaving fissures like dry rivers Puffs of steam trail as he careens Up into dormant branches Floating east with the breeze Eyes fixed, his feet predict He sways with every step Head bobbing and weaving Twisting through Evergreens His heart burns with a primal fire Nipping at the heels of his prey Waiting for just one mistake Growls are heard in the wood From his mouth only breath Hunger runs through him Through every vein He was thrown from his home Fur

-Mind the Waves- by happinessisearned, literature

Literature

-Mind the Waves-

Follow the river The path pain paved The night may make you shiver Stay brave The river runs for days, it's lined by many graves Even in the rain, stay away from caves Creatures crawl in the nights haze it's your blood they crave Stay moving in the day, be mindful of your pace But be patient, it winds like a maze Everyday beasts will be faced Here, you have to earn your way Understand that it's okay to be afraid Let it be the stone to your blade Let it guide you down the path the past has paved This place cannot make you brave It was only made to take your decay You have everything you need to be unbroken The power fear enslaves When you f

Literature

-The Old King's Dream-

The gold ring gleams Studded by precious stones It shines to claim regime Its right to the throne As the bards sing The Old King zones The church bells ring But his mind is gone Off to the costs of war What was lost and gained The King sits, hand on sword Tip to stone, like a cain Staring darkly into the swarm The names of the slain He slowly stands, forlorn Every step, the pain of chains Dragging this mammoth power Under the shadow of regret He climbs back to his tower To pen sense to this mess He'll be locked away for hours As cold as a man can get His subjects think him sour Hidden from his vignettes Thoughts of his Kingdom Stories of a

Her eyes hazel a greenish grey Lashes too long and frozen to play Her brow thin and defined Untouched framing empty eyes Freckles dot her nose sprinkling down to her cheeks Spare hairs fall when the wind sweeps Like long black threads of silk Traitors to time refusing to wilt Lips cold and purple in tone She lays here alone all warmth gone Her naked body glows laying cold in the moonlight Through the open window she saw the last of her life She wi
