without...
I. dull, without formthose eyes see everything
and yet they hold nothing.
like once-lover’s fingers leaving each other’s grasp
cold, icelike, without meaning, they drift
waiting for something
they will wait until they die.II. formless, without shapepushed away,
in the corners of the mind,
lay what you call feeling.
but it has been taken -
molded into something else -
until a person could search for hours
and they still would not understand where your emotions sleep.III. shapeless, without emotiongolden curls spill from her crown.
like everything else that gaits around her
they are fake…
she is under the false assumption
that they will make her ignorance beautiful.IV. distorted, without truthlips that separate words from reality
whose conscience is being stabbed?
could be mine, yours, theirs…
we all have lied.V. truthless, without relevanceif only the lips could speak things worth hearing
perhaps then, we could get along.
the mind…
it thrives off of knowledge
what would happen to the mind if the knowledge that it thought to be true
was simply not,
its only relevance to reality being that it was disconnected from itVI. inconsequential, without remorseunfortunately, as everything has been,
having no consequences is a lie -
twisted, like a knife, in between the threads that have attached us.VII. remorseless, without…their words were as ruthless as their fists
which craved for blood.VIII. without…beauty.
it has
been
lost.IX. ordinary, without beautywithout a grasp of love on the world
it becomes plain and dull…
taken over by the soulless army we lost the beauty to -
hatred and pain.X. hatred, without painbut this is a lie
there cannot be hatred without pain
what we have been told is false
we are meant to love
meant to enjoy
meant to hold each other close
why have we agreed to a lie so damaging to ourselves?
Who?
(alternatively titled Doubt)
who, whispers the voice in my mind, are you?
the Creator could not love the likes of you, with your dirty, sin-stained hands - you are a mockery to life itself!Yet Who has given me life?
Who knew that I was going to be dirty before I was formed?
Who breathed life into my soul?One, and One only: the One Who made the stars and sky
He painted even the unseen depths of the see, the corners of the universe
He molded the clay of the earth I walk onAnd yet I ran.
I ran away from Him on the dirt He made for me.
I ran away from Him, to hide, though I knew no sin could be hidden. I ran away though I knew He had already loved me enough to fill my heart. I ran away though I knew I couldn't run.And yet, I am able to call the creator my Father
like the blossoms that fall slowly from a flowering spring tree in the summer, she came into my life.
like the whispers of gentle, perishing wind, her voice brought me joy.
as if the dark, abandoned, once-lonely skies on sunny days
her eyes brightly lit up when she smiled.
and slowly I realized, like the
blossoms that fell
so I fell in
love.
flight
I have always flown
Across northern skies
How joyous it is, as wind bites me
As the cold touches my cheeksI have always sat in the saddle
Upon the back of a dragon
How wonderful to believe
In magic that is not your ownI have always been thrilled
At the sight of blue skies
Clouds in the air brush my fingers
As I dip to my deathI have always been afraid of falling
But not afraid of hitting the ground
How I must fall, how I plummet
A sight I will beI have always trusted this beast
Whose scales are blacker than night
Whose eyes defy my fear
Whose kindness is undeservedI have always known of its sorrow
The pain she must have been through
I’ve never seen the great beast cry
But when we soar, I imagine that
Her tears are left behindI have always left behind my own sorrows
My pain and doubts
I leave them in the setting sun
To burn awayI have always loved the feel of the sky
As I look up at it
I almost know of the feel of its clouds
I almost know of the wind on my cheeksI have never flown before
stratosphereDisco ball
Just let the night fall
Away from our grasp
Become unattachedJust let the night fall
Away from your grasp
Become unattached
Let yourself stay unmatchedBack to your grasp
Our fingers attached
You and I, we’re unmatched
We could disappearYour fingers attached
You and I, we’re unmatched
We could disappear
Dance into the stratosphereYou and I, we’re unmatched
Make our worries disappear
Move our bodies to the stratosphere
Let go of our heartache and fearsMake our worries disappear
Grove our bodies to the stratosphere
Let go of our inhibitions and fears
And maybe some dayDance to music of stratosphere
Let go of our feelings and fears
And maybe some day
We could swing another wayLet go of our feelings and fears
And maybe some day
We’d dance another way
You might wrap your hands around my waistAnd some day
We’ll dance another way
I’ll wrap my hands around your waist
And y’know I wouldn’t have it any other way
Cuz the stratosphere is in outer space
And we dance with each other in a daze
Space is too far away –
and you’re too close to my heart
