Dreams and Aspirations

In dark Abyss the dreamless heart sits in silent somber ...
Glory fills the dreamers heart with joyous visions to ponder ...
Filled with hope the heart may sing of goals and aspiration ...
In hope it seems, dreams they gleam beacons of inspiration ...
__________________________________________________

Timeless as the world that turns so slowly day by day...
Their dreams follow on side of a path that never strays...
Destined to seek out each treasure behind every door...
Aspiring to achieve such greatness like no other before...
__________________________________________________

But what if I am one of those who's destined to fall short...?
Attempts to make real my transcendental visions all return to naught...
I fall down by the wayside, I crawl back to my feet...
Should I try so hard again only to be lost to defeat?
__________________________________________________

Dreams like hope can fade but need never go away...
The eyes of the heart seek the path of our soul’s true fate...
Eyes closed, hear your heart, listen to its rhyme...
It’s dreaming dreams of better days and of better times...

__________________________________________________ __

With weary soul and heavy head they plod along each day
Logic and passion burning brightly, their ideas never to stray
To aspire to the heights that mere mortals can surely only dream
The bitter sweet taste of success is all they want it may seem

__________________________________________________ ____

To spend your days seeking to grasp that dream
Hoping it will be just as it seemed
But in that off chance your dream doesn't come true
Because it was so much better, what was meant for you
__________________________________________________ __________

Aspiring only to achieve a successful and happy life
yet dreaming dreams that cause it seems naught but internal strife
visions of beautiful but terrible things burn inside thy mind
to not let go and move on with life may find you left behind.....

Fears

________________________________________________
My intoxication, my overdose, I hand over the reins,
To give into fear, my vision blurs, it pumps in my veins.
It is my past, my present and future, the only way,
It is my wall, my solitude, it is with me every day.
________________________________________________
I'm locked up tight inside my head,
Mind darkened by the deepest dread,
Routines of thoughts so hard to break,
That they exist, my own mistake.
________________________________________________
Fear is lonely, fear has a need...
Fear can only live if YOU believe...
Giving it room to feed in the dark...
Give it no room, it will never start...
________________________________________________

Anxiety creeping deep inside my very weary heart
The chiling fear cutting, not allowing me to start
Ceasing my ability, consuming, each and every time
I am no longer in control, my thoughts not even mine

________________________________________________
There are fears that can be easily overcome
Then there are those you can't run from
Some say the greatest fear is fear itself
But what do you do when you fear yourself

_________________________________________________

The image in the mirror is one of deep regret and pain
From this image I am sure there is nothing to gain
some fears may be impossible to just let go and overcome
Yet to turn and face these fears leaves me feeling numb...

_________________________________________________

terror like a cold dark shadow stalking close behind ~
hear it, feel it, see it from the corner of my eye ~
fearfull things about me but the terrors in my mind ~
live not in fear, take up in heart leaving fear behind ~

_________________________________________________

The past creeps up and tears at us all.
Post mortem fear drags us to a crawl.
Its hard to stop fear, as it brings us strife,
But we try to not let it control our lives.

Heartbreak/Loss

My heart bleeds tears as my memories turn gray...
My mind can't accept such over whelming pain...
My soul clung to yours never wanting to stray...
My body now shivers in these cold cold days...

The loss of your touch more than I can bear
The emptiness that now consumes my soul
The wrenching despair as I wait in the dark
The memories piercing deep into my thoughts

As the days continue to flow on
I try my best to pretend I'm just fine
But my heart is as a shattered window
For I see I'm lost without you

[°××Ŵ®åĭτħ××°]

Okay here is mine I managed to write it before leaving for the weekend YAY!

As the days continue to flow on
I try my best to pretend I'm just fine
But my heart is as a shattered window
For I see I'm lost without you

My heart still flutters when I hear you laugh
I cry cause I realized this is a darkened path
I will always love you but our love is the past
I need to move past this if my soul is to last


we seem to have a rhyming not rhyming pattern going on here

I need to move past this if my soul is to last

Rancid fate... Loves eternal light now distant sets ~
No more to touch your gentle flesh, to know your scent ~
ever still, that single moment when love found its end ~
distracted, thinking of you, I press on but Im broken ~

I feel remorse, the love I've lost...
I ended it and now it costs.
I miss that feeling of being whole,
The feeling of the love between two souls.

Although like a shadow past I shall never again,
See your smiling face like the setting of the sun.
Yet still I find myself thinking of you, but then,
Assuredly I know that my life anew has just begun.


if there is anyone else interested i guess we can leave it open for a day or two, just in case. if not i think that is another brilliant piece done

next topic suggestions..

p.s when i read through the whole thing, addie man i have to take my hat off to your eloquent words...like flowing honey.
