Thank You for Calling Me Today

Thank you for calling me today,

My evening hasn't been going too well

But the birds outside have kept me company.

The world seems to be too steadfast to tell

But you may know what I'm longing to see.

Everything has felt a little still,

My umbrella has been just the way it was

Just the way I left it when you went away.

The rain has sogged up all the plant pots

But I'm still sure that it isn't here to stay.

I'm looking forward to seeing you,

All the windows have a spotless shine

That gives me just the perfect view.

I have been keeping a track of time

And I know you have been tracking yours too.

Thank you for calling me today,

When my bedside clock had been buzzing

But I did not have the strength to wake up.

And no, I haven't been complaining

My patience didn't start to drop.

But since the rain water has started to drain,

I'm looking forward to seeing you soon

And keeping all my problems at bay.

I was waiting, and a conversation was due

So thank you for calling me today.

No Fear, No Longer

In crucial steps that breaks the dawn,

Of wondrous spells that take me on,

This dark magic will repent itself,

Not me, not from these cocoons,

And catacombs that need help.

There is a state I know of urgency,

What I see does not show mercy,

But for a new dawn I must break free,

Conquer what may seem unconquerable,

And stand high for the world to see.

Fear, is what breaks the toughest of men,

Pollutes the mind and corrupts them,

Those places may seem out of hand,

That dig deeper with a play of mind although,

Have nothing to lather you with harm.

The rain will be sheltered to only those,

That train their minds and balance their woes,

And walk up to fear itself in its worst form,

Without a slight band of hesitation,

And walk slowly right through the storm.

The pain shall rise upon me and break,

There is no power with me at stake,

And fear will perish with the break of dawn,

With me, standing above the ashes,

And I will know that I have won.

Black and White

Between black and white,

Right and wrong,

There are morals,

That I must follow.

A Picture of Its Own Sounds

In the ghastly town near the Brooke
There was a small chime that made soothing sounds
And ever so often I would
Gaze upon its mastery
Of how good I felt listening to it.

There was a crisp morning after the dawn
And the crystal clear water was showering over the small pond
Where lillies were floating
With peace to the world
And the sounds grew louder.

There was a small crack in the rocks
That flushed into the whole pond with water trickling outward
In a hurry to meet it's end
It's destination
From its place of birth.

And I sat down in between the melody
Where the sounds would resonate together in perfect harmony
Where the birds chirped
To the growling sounds
In the underbrush.

And I had yet to understand
What all this had meant in a world where sound was everything
And so I paused
And observed
And waited.

And knowing that the melody was a way of nature
And what nature showed me was the true beauty of its own kind
What it wanted me to see
A picture
Of its own sounds.

Clockwork

The form of caress that gently follows,

My inner demons that feels so hollow.

I cannot address what speaks to me,

What has been and will always be,

A sight to remember.

It strokes in a way that I do not know,

Like seasons it changes to and fro.

“How do you feel like now” I ask,

“What has happened in the past?”

I do not know.

It slyly turns into subtle madness,

Changing again to rushed sadness.

Even when I begin to see,

Hope that is momentary,

It feels dim.

The heat builds up and does not go,

There is a side that I cannot show.

For it needs to be built up in me,

And in time I will reveal,

It’s clockwork.

And then June makes its way,

Extending summer to another day.

“Winter will come soon though”

“Autumn isn’t really far you know”

I pledge.

With made up memories in my mind,

That speak to me all the time.

I feel sorrow in what I shouldn’t have done,

And look back at how far I had come,

I feel regret.

With open windows on my wall,

In the heated summer I call.

To all those who have been close to me,

Who see the life the way I see,

With remorse.

And in my book I’ll soon write down,

A symbolic passage of what I’m bound.

And I’m going to leave it there and then,

For weeks to come and weeks to spend,

With delight.

Until I find a reason to rise,

That I no longer need despise.

That I no longer have to run,

That I have fears to overcome,

For good.

And winter flashes back through those days,

And brings back good in many ways.

“But June has gone and May will stay”

“Where will you go now” I say,

I’m stuck.

And with those emotions in my mind,

I will have to forgive myself this time.

That what I have done cannot be undone,

And will have to accept what I have become,

With forgiveness.

And the clockwork slowly begins to reveal,

A quiet, gentle side of me.

That was before and holds on again,

And tells me of what I have been,

Careful.

The seasons cycle on and on,

“With no potential harm? Come on!”

I will truly begin to see,

That I’m not a part of what others can’t be,

A lone survivor.

And now every now and then,

I speak up to the existence within,

That is there acceptance in my mind?

That will everything be fine?

I ponder.

And now weeks and hours alone,

Cannot bring back that tale I know.

And with that I bring to adjust,

An old tale that I must,

See be brought out of the heavens doors,

And left in the open floor,

Of time, need and disgust,

And framed onto the warm walls,

Of forgiveness.

Faceless Masks

I look upon each faceless mask,

That ever crossed my wave of emotions.

That has felt so strong and vast,

Like a parabolic explosion.

I want to know how they indulge me,

What leaves me in their control?

In time, I know I will begin to see,

Why they manipulate my soul.

Those feelings are a happening,

In motion, I see them pass right through me.

Those faceless masks are fastening,

Covering my face till I cannot see.

Dream Efflux

The glowing memories of the sweet serene,

That softly welcomes me into their parlour.

That draws me to things I want to see,

And shows me all that my heart desires.

Of things that never happened in time,

Of things that could have changed their way.

And often moments that made me shine,

Those moments that made my day.

I watch that wondrous spell it castes on me,

Like a sudden sweet incantation.

It tells my mind to always be free,

All with life and vivification.

I ponder into those lovely dreams,

That flow through my heart and veins.

They will be conquered one day it seems,

I feel it in the heart it claims.

With every little joy a little boy could find,

Of every little detail my heart could find,

The sweet dreams devour me whole,

And takes a large part of my soul,

And all of this only in my mind.

I lay, as I watch my sweet dreams unfold.

There's a Voice I Hear

Under the clampings

And shattering noises,

Of forgotten things

I do no longer wish to hear,

There is a voice I hear

In my mind

Under the unbalanced reasoning

And misunderstandings,

I hear a voice full of treasuries

Of findings that I have kept,

Oh so well looked after

These are my positivities

My hopes and admirations,

That keep me up in dark

That keeps all my confusion,

Extremely well lit

I ask that thought with doubt

Of whether it is a part

Of my own consciousness,

Or whether it is only a fragment

Of my imagination

And it tells me of the good

That has come up,

That has been with me for long,

And stayed through

All those years

I want to thank it

For that raspy voice had told me

Not to give up

When the time has been

Wrong for me

For understanding that

There is a reason for everything,

And that I constantly need

To be true to myself

That raspy voice has spoken

And it too will die,

The day I stop

Believing in myself

And so the voice has spoken.
