Storm Symphonies

[via]

the air was cold
my bones were shivering
and fear pulsed
through my veins
but i found this oasis
this peaceful place
i watch the storm
against my window
as the thunder and rain
lull me off to sleep
with their symphonies.

A Single Sand

[via]

it was a moment.
a mere sand of time, love.
and most of them fly by;
but this one held eternity.
and every sand before it
had a different hue
than every sand after it.
but none of them, love,
matched this single sand.
this moment in time.
its color was passion
and its hue was regret
and the image it bore,
we will never forget.
but, love,
of all the sands of time
i would switch it with none
because it's our story
and even these tainted memories
are good when they're with you.

Ashes

[via]

i looked at the ashes
and in that moment
i saw the beauty of life
     fully.
because they weren't nothing
though the fire had burned them
and even though
     everything had changed;
in some ways, it was all the same.
and i watched as the sun beamed down
and filled our hearts with
     hope.

Fear Can't Touch Me

[via]

these peaceful waters rush over me
like the waves of a mountain stream
filling my soul with stillness
and a peace that remains.
the sky is tumultuous o'er me
with no dancing sunbeams in sight
and all the leaves are clinging
to the trees in fright.
but although i feel the pain
in my bones there is only peace
and calm and hope
because their fear can't touch me.

Only Stars

[via]

i looked at the stars
and saw a million suns
beaming, sparkling at me.
i reached out to touch them
with my emotions
i cast my wishes upon them
but when i glanced again
there were no suns
only a million stars
with their cold distance
and my far-flung, dying wishes.
so i picked up my rose colored glasses
and put them back on with a smile.

Tears

[via]

my well ran dry
after i gave it all to you
i gave you everything
and got nothing in return
i felt the pain of your knife
i felt all the feelings
that you didn't feel.
and i thought it would be dry
but now the tears won't stop.
and now the tears won't stop.

Dying Star

[via]


there were tears down my heart
and crying broken blood
the moon covered her face
and wept bitter tears
while the thunder bemoaned
my agony
this pain was more than i could bear
the storm was stronger than my resolve
and all i could do was picture your face
and wish upon a dying star
and cast empty wishes on a dying star
