seeyat

Undying painless fear but finding sweet retrieval of light

The days of heated sunshine turning to the blessed night

A cold embrace that shivers oh so swiftly in its shifting

From the quiet conversation we respite

Finding dreams inside the memories that awful careless eyes can’t see

The whips that crack and enemies that scream into the void

These empty words they seem to find within the minds that shackles bind

A heart encased and diamond lined so all the world won’t mind

Who they see when they reveal

This me they always find

Nowhere fast or slow, I don't know
Basking in the glow
Neon towers of light were there once before
Now sitting alone, in my room behind the door
With nothing but the fashion of the walls in pale light
Dark blockading curtains turning every day to night
Darkness willing with the wind that blew between the trees
Now gone and long forgotten never heard with heavy breeze
I remember how we talked, while I was stuck in this tower
I won't be leaving, I've returned to dream with every hour
Not for the loss of sight in my hearts eyes, as they cry
Only for the weakness I have felt inside
I hear this trembling lunatic that stretches out her hand
Trust me, you can trust me, not them, I say you can
Your hearts are so much purer than the ones he seems to draw
As if these vast realities were written into law
It's known they know a few things yet they do bridle their word
Knowing I could never speak their threats forever heard
For all their born relationships and others would disturb
It's true concern is fruitful when it's taken into kind
But act on pure deception and you poison every mind
Prevent the peace of purity and many years that passed
Only watching over something puzzles need to last
A perfect form of armor that could easily defer
The final act of judgement and the fear that it has stirred

Not of mind, but of heart... this art
Never to see what you meant for me
Not by choice, still hear the screaming in my voice
Get up, Neo
You must be free, I know this cannot be
How could they do such damage to thee
The one we knew, the one we know we do
I am in love only with the moment that passes
The dream once held, never seen
Undeniable, this dream
What I wish to do, what I wish to see
Detached from my reality
All the sacred hearts within my mind
Unable to find the words to explain the pain caused by hiding
Visit the world perhaps to try
I know not why I fight myself
Leave no trace, a ghostly face
Time for tea, for me as I will be resting until
Until the land opens for us to see

Rest your head, these moments are no longer
Those passed, perhaps all we could long for
Nothing to gain, nothing to lose
Our hearts in what we choose
Where life will find its place

Nothing more than a passionless embrace
All these anxious tears to fall that time would soon erase
Worthiness in question, though it should never be
Life in all its facets never allowed to see
Nothing to face

Let the leaves flutter calmly in the breeze
The branches find their sway with the music of the seas
Stars shining brightly against black and cloudless skies
The sounds of nature find us when we slowly close our eyes
We are the chosen, a wish to press

We hope to know but, so fruitless
Life has failed to find itself upon request
All its moments known have redirected
This miracle of monuments is never as expected
A perfect failure, none so hopeless

Temporary things take up space, not to embrace
As permanence in life is what they replace
Would I not give a flower to my love
Knowing it will fade, wishing it would stay
I know these terrible beings and why they create such heartache
Demons of the night, dreading daylight not walking in the shadows
Crawling, hunched over as they feed
Caring only for the hearts they still don't understand
Truth in life, my only demand
Above all else, how we should define
These pauses in our path we choose to find
I have and still attempt to show, letting all know
To reveal ourselves to those who help us grow
And statements made so long ago, in words
Still heard, fantastic they may be, untrusted
I know within myself, from the mouth which they were thrust
Could I trust who I should, knowing this could be a fable
My life guided as purely as I am able
I strive to be what was not truly known to me
Hidden away, with so much I wished to hold, not to be
Such things experienced, none would share, made to be known
My strength falters as I dare, returning bitterness is shown
I may not seem to be seen as I am, barely a man
Not a man, a person, breathing with my heart beating
I will love even those meant not for meeting
For some choose to learn from what they feel
Change for better from such ordeals
Myself, I cannot place my hand within another
Not without finding my place beside, as a brother
For a stranger, a friend, or a lover
I find my confidence, this warmth where hearts recover
Life must be, not without overwhelming passion
As only within the memories we make is our life fashioned
This life, these dances
All considered only chances
When life cannot consist of thorns
These are not the reasons we were born
I understand this rose, this life I may have lost comes with a cost
But now it isn't up to me, not for me to see to the loss
My life shaped who I am, damned or blessed
For how the past defines, I will love no less
The future beheld, set before my eyes, for this, I try
I have and will for always be this love until I die
No matter your beliefs, perhaps you will learn
Then and only then shall I know that love was earned

At times, my rhymes do come to me
In the strangest of ways
A whisper in the wind, things I see
The Sun bids farewell as it leaves the days
It never feels wrong, only different
As I steal the Sun's song
Perhaps to simply record what's unheard
As it has repeated these words so long
I only wish to expand upon the beauty
For this world to see, setting eyes to the sky
Above the images upon a screen, surely
They must notice, they must care, they must try
I know these words are shared, I know
But within such truth is beauty of its own
So I will never let any of them go
To respond in kind, though less than what is known
I will begin to speak as sunlight does decree
This place, our land, made not by man's hand
The skies above, clouds and cool breeze
These things I love as the stars above, so I stand
Could we all just open our eyes and see what could be
Your dreams as real as any other, as the love of a mother
Living in peace, harmoniously
Embracing the hands of our sisters and brothers

For one or many
Why can the many not be seen
By many as one
Where love places itself so deeply
The hearts of man, the light we seek
Hearts that outshine the sun
Unbroken, unspoken bonds as they hold one another
Cherish the moments as though soon lost forever
As before, what could be done
We are so few for so many
Our strength is finite, still trying
Alive among the dying
Alone, prepared for flying
To believe this could change
Aware of the world, viewing it as strange
Wings cut away, removed kindly
For they could be torn
Softly set upon the ground
Among the stones so weathered and worn
Covered in leaves, never to be found
To this earthly realm, bound so tightly
Unable to fight, we exist daily and nightly
Attempting to spread hope with all we are
Will peace be found, could we ever get that far
Soon to see, for all that is and ever could be
Love to be set free, within the sea
An ocean I see before me

If I were to tell you how would you not take a bow, truth is life
No matter the chosen vow, all of your hate somehow, twisting this knife
You created this fate, I will not anticipate, go forth for your own moments
Take your own sword, cut your own cord, becoming a movement
Beginning on my own years ago, hoping to be left alone without your ties
A life free of middle ground is worth it, within the realm of colored skies
For I've found much more with brighter, honest eyes, as I cry
There is hope for the hopeless and dreams will grow with wings that fly
Awakened late to an unexpected fate, killed by a voice
Falling softly, known before me, avoiding a forced choice
Never to see, never to be, not to walk that water's edge
I will divide from all of you, your life denied, away from that ledge
A short walk, not for me, for an ocean could be
I am facing a life set free, one seen clearly

Defiantly describe to me this battlefield you face
Make haste with your description, not a word can go to waste
For all the unmade memories we've yet to have misplaced
You've died so many times, you've bled and made your case

Skies so blue reflected rays of sunlight in the clouds
Do things in ways that scream so silently that you are proud
Break through the faulted stars that glisten secretly so loud
Undying in their dedicated task to pierce this shroud

I've known you well before the moments placed before our eyes
This present gift of time defies the cries I hear that pry
Inside a twisted memory decaying as it ties
I'll someday reach a precipice that holds before it dies

When moments free of doubt have given forth a life so pure
And all the truth inside us tells us we can now be sure
Your smile is a reminder and your pain I do endure
So quickly does it torture me upon my journey's tour

Clearly, this reality is better than their dream
As we are all susceptible to faith in what we gleam
Where purity of heart can bleed through, bursting at the seems
The war that rages on with those we once called on for steam

This power that defies all odds, all gods, as it is love
The one and only movement we should surely hold above
Your peace, your pale reality can feel like a shove
Though just for now I do believe your hands should don a glove

By knowing there is something broken in this unknown time
A missing piece, and extra phrase that crowds a perfect rhyme
I know you can find comfort knowing there was just an extra dime
A step within the ladder that we very few must climb

It's days of broken chaos that remind us where we stand
These days of deep reflection when it's wrong to just hold hands
Where hugs and holds and love so bold have all been roughly banned
Call on your thoughts and memories that could be deemed a brand

So all the world around you can be bettered by your voice
Be proud, sing loud and tear the shroud, defiance is a choice
The pain they'll cause by holding back the laughter heard as noise
I beg you, let this fear of life be lost again, as we all should stand at poise

We are one to love, to hold so far above, pure of heart, ready to dance
We must wait for this moment to be seen, to take our chance
Until then, sing, sing loud for all to hear, without fear, that is my stance
For so many are just passers-by whom we spare a second glance

There is so much to discover of this heart
There is no way to tell what should be
Could there be faith in a soul defined by its past
As a moment in time is a notch in its mask
This falling we feel in the days that we steal
The time, we deny it could ever be real
We have no way to know when we've taken our time
Defining ourselves without reason or rhyme
Find peace in the memories made with your friends
Colliding together with hearts that don't end
I smile ever slightly to think of this so
The peace in those hearts will always glow
As though this soul you see, the piece of me
The one you cannot believe, may not be
I still fear the unknown, as I always have
Disguising myself with the darkness that saves
Awaiting a love to bring light to my name
Something undying, to truly remain
We are naught but the sum of an incomplete puzzle
In souls with descriptions of life soon unmuzzled
Fairness, we're careless in some of our days
Accepted completely, the faith in our ways
For futures unbound to the known in this world
Through birth, we are made, but through life grown as pearls
Our love can be real, it can be an illusion
Use love to define you until its conclusion
