The Horde

slip me another martini

i'll close my eyes

and remember the times

you told me it'll be alright

just grab my hand 

and we'll flee from sight

now all i have is our broken promises

i fled into the night

running from the sight

of all these nights and dreams alike

from fantasies and peculiarities

to the glide of your hair and embrace

i know i'm face to face with the enemy

but keep them close they say

for they may bring some good karma

one day

clenched fists

bring the debris of pain

that's raining down

to a halt 

i'll run head first into the fight

they'll watch to make sure

i don't make it out

Beached

Rest a shored

he'll find peace one day

the kind of serenity

that her look devoted to him

that flushing feeling 

all it'll take is one look

Pulling himself onto the beach

he looks to the sky to fill his lungs

torn lips and a swollen mind

give him no room to survive

all it'll take is one kiss

he struggles to start his heart

one of many tired and beaten muscles

one cool breeze can send him floating backwards

he grasps shallow roots to hang on

all it'll take is one love

The Pursuit

Saturated hues and faded smiles

bring burning sensations of nostalgia

to a time where he saw in her blue skies

the man he would become

Somehow dark grays surged through

he struggled to fight it

but succumbed he did to the fog

a mist he cannot shake

Synchronized dark blues rip through him

he knows the night will hunt him

ravage his mind and revive his treads

he must find his feet

Staying afloat, he continually tries

he must let himself sink

to feel the pain of the deep

to see if there is still a need

to fight the current

Tonight, he may not resurface

The beginning...

I've spent a considerable amount of time developing my writing and only a select few have been exposed to it.  I want to spend my time now posting my work publicly, rather than have it sit on my google docs for only a few friends and myself to read.  I hope you enjoy, and I would like to develop this blog into an ongoing story rather than just post small unrelated pieces.
