Left stripped


Forbidden yesterdays little importance
keeps my only love alive.
A passing yonder awakes
leaving the burden to survive.
Weightless torment flowing through my veins
blinding bright lights is all that remains.
Footsteps draw nearer with each walking pace
adrenalin pumped uncovering my dark hooded face.
The world is moving beneath my feet
but I feel still with each heartless beat.
Departed from my bodily being
since then- It's all I've known
re-united with the impossible
to leave my soul all alone.
Exhaustion creeping forward
I'm sailing an endless sea
but willing to accept
a different forgotten me.
Upon an infinite second -
hearing a hurry within my breath

an ecstasy of parting
denominated by -
death.

    aine, this here is a magnificent piece! My god.. in each line i can feel the heaviness and ffrustration in your heart.. it describes a world without michael perfectly..

    "leaving the burden to survive"- this line is so sad.. i can interpret this line so many ways.. love this line..

    "The world is moving beneath my feet
    but I feel still with each heartless beat"
    i love these lines; as literal as they are, they are still deep in meanings.. like.. the world seems to be moving on but you can't seem to catch up.. and your heart is beating for the sake of beating, because the true purpose.. love.. seems to have gone along with michael.. is that what you're trying to portray?
    i love this work, aine, am going to read it a few more times.. cuz there is so much going on there that i need to read it more, to find out.. You're a genius. ;)

    that last stanza makes my heart ache.. when we think of michael, the emotions come out with force.. wow.
    great job!

Hidden song

Gentle , warming sweet solace expressions of your heart in speech. For so long it was the silent air , the only antidote. Hidden was the remedy of voice. Touch thought to be the only solution, a heart can fool the soul it misleads a soul can break free, and live. Only then. Only now. In despair, life is here, the breath of voice, the tone of loss. Emotion can't fake, emotion can break Where is the comfort? Hold my hand. I desire a vocal dance.

It can be you and I

Closer each beat although our worlds are far apart. I open my eyes and feel it I hear it impossible is certain with just one touch. My destined belief enclosed in an embrace- my body yearns -and all at once I am released from my past to be lost in the very heartbeat that brought me here. -a vision of beauty. a king whose crown shines brighter than a halo, a king whose heart beat lives on through us. If only speech was louder than thoughts.

Don't shy away

I surrounded you where there is comfort. A lifetime of chance where I am waiting. Apprehensive, at first. Unknown judgment of a place that is far ahead. Better living for a broken soul, I'm never let down by you, you don't know the meaning. Your arms are a sea of love, your laughter the innocence of a child. Your tears are a burden of an ending world- yet you live forever. and that is where I am. With you.
