Stitched With Ink

Something About the Sun

Something about the sun
When it hits your hands and illuminates the ground
A cleansing force taking away your past and only giving you a glimpse of the future
Where the planets moved when you walked
and your heart loved when you talked
Where every heart was a soul
And every piece was made whole
Even mornings rose in dew
Even evenings faded in the light
Drawn aback we feel the heat
a sting of present succumbs the future
A strike of pain let’s out it’s fury
No we can’t escape our now
But only dream in a hurry

Melts Right to the Handle

Queue the music
Light the candle
Another heartbreak
Melts right to the handle

Parade the front
Show me your mask
Who dealt you right
To this filthy task

Oh yes it was your heart
Queued only to one beat
A beat so light
Barely heard amongst the song
And yet
Barely heard now dead and gone

Truth and relevance
I have been compromised
Named coward for my pestilence
Yes but every reason, this irrelevance
I watched you dance in all your elegance

Oh my heart mistook my thinking
I jumped in like a drunk thats been drinking
For good reasons I was seeking
And these reasons sold me short of breathing

Collapsed my heart it did
For every beat the song played
I stood there gazing shaken at the choice made
Took my retreat into the darkest fade
Took my heart away from her hungry blade

Now queue the music
Light the candle
Another heartbreak
Melts right to the handle

Your Bigger Now (Self-Reflection)

I slow down, let the tide creep over my feet. Some sense of relief. It feels so far that I’ve been lost for many seasons. Yea, i think I’ve done some things right and mostly wrong but after a while you realize that your footsteps are all that follow you. All along you wondered and fought only to find it was yourself you were fighting. The very foundations of your development. Now you’ve found your buttons and decide every time if you should push them or not. Life just all of a sudden becomes real. Death and failure is always creeping up to your doorstep. Your bigger now, you tell yourself. Your only fear is losing ground. Forward and nowhere else. The past doesn’t change but you have totally remodeled. Yea those people can say what they want but your not interested. Your plans don’t include those who whisper fear. Strength grows gently in your soul. Your a bigger man you already know. So you let down your walls and claim your success where defeat laid barren the land of promise.
