~Sinking~
They say a soul weighs merely grams at death;
However, this cannot be true for me,
For every time a person loses life
While breathing, souls do seem to sink in waves:
.
The composition of this silent sea
Is suffocating foam and reaching ropes
Of seaweed tearing at my lungs and feet.
A tide of pain and memory so dark
Do follow not too far behind my eyes
And pull me down from deep within my past.
.
They say a soul weighs merely grams at death;
However, this cannot be true for me,
For drowning of my mind and being comes
From waves of loss that sink within the soul.

~Falling Wishes~
Dreams—though vain—
Are drops of rain
Added to a sea
Of peaceful pain
And hopeful gain—
Hidden within me.

~Wandering Souls~
Drifting through fog,
Whispers of pain;
Nothing to cling to—
Nothing to gain.
.
Can’t reach the ground,
Can’t reach the air;
Dying by living—
No Breath to share
.
Crimson Ink stains
Chapters and charts:
Drawing the curtains—
Shuttering hearts.
.
Still limping on,
Broken, bent bruised;
Relinquishing Hope—
Trampled and used.
.
Blood and Tears mix,
Brought forth by shards
Of hearts, hopes and dreams—
Tearing at scars.
.
Droplets fall up,
Sprinkling the sky;
Forming the wishes
For which we cry.
.
Grasping these stars,
I give them to you;
This is who We are—
It’s what we do:
.
Giving up Life
To make Lives whole:
We are the Spirits
Of Wandering Souls.

~Tidal Wave~
Destruction rises up to fall
Upon your cities safe and tall
No time to run, no faith to save
It crashes in—A Tidal Wave
.
Your towers strong and built with trust
Are crumbled down and turned to dust
The walls fall down, fear floods the grave
It crushes life—A Tidal Wave
.
This pain’s a force you can’t control
It’s breaking borders, splitting souls
It wakes the dead, it drowns the brave
Comes rushing back—A Tidal Wave
.
The barriers arise once more
Built thicker than the ones before
The lies it told, the loss it gave
This is its strength—The Tidal Wave
.
