let the eagle tell you where he's been: June 2016

We

We started as nothing but a mess
We argued, fell apart, and broke down
Never a kind word
would fall from our lips
They captured us all the same
The Light Side of Love
can it stand
against so much Darkness?
Against the Force of Time
There's so much I wished I said
So much you wished you'd tried
We feel deep, into that love
But it spit us out
We tried, broke down, fell apart
and I kept falling
Now you stand Alone
No, this light love
Cannot stand against the Dark
Cannot hold up against time
We started as a mess
and We Ended
all the same

Flame Inside

What started as a spark, tiny
and insignificant
Grew
It grew into a wee flame
a flame that kept my heart warm
kept me alive
But if you feed the fire
it will grow still
More and more it grows
and the flame is no more
A raging inferno
consuming everything it touches
until there is nothing left
of me
A pile of ashes is all
you've left inside of me
and I grow cold
am no more
flame died
so did I

Older, am I?

Am I growing older
when I can feel the days
growing longer as well
and there's no excitement left
Oh, I feel time
shaping me, beating me down
Is this what it's like
growing old and tired
urging time to move faster
I desire
propelling me forward
to that one thing
I haven't tried
yet

that which dulls

I use it
I need it
I want it
that which dulls
the pain of life
the horror of morning
the fright of night
that which dulls
deep in my system
blinding my eyes
steadying my breath
that which dulls
my heart racing
emotions storming
I need
that which dulls

frustration

Blood. Boiling.
Heavy in my flesh.
Head, pounding
storm raging inside.
This anger
consumes
and I
lose
myself.

My Fascination

Dark and lovely
Shining skin
Low eyes under thick lashes
Graceful legs
Strong and powerful

The will shining through
Mesmerises me to you

to begin anew

As we search for new beginnings,
I wonder.
As they search for new beginnings,
so do I.
We measure illogically
in the end, there was only one
beginning

History repeats
is that because of all our
made up beginnings?
So much better then
not to begin anew
but to continue

I used to hope for new beginnings
where I would be better
but how?
No
I won't look for them anymore

I will continue
never again start at the beginning
I will use everything I've learned
experienced
Every thought I've had
I won't look to repeat
I will be better
by continuing

I'm in the middle,
here, I will grow

A heavy hope

A heavy hope
lies in my heart
Lies safe in my
changeable heart
A heart of a weak woman
of a Ruling Queen
Oh, if I could banish that hope
have it leave me be
Heavy rests the head
that wears the crown
and there should be
no hope for me

This is (melody)

This is for those who dabble in darkness
This is for those we lost to the flames
This is for those we never truly loved
This is for those who take the blame
This is for you and me
So lost yet so free
I don't know where we'll be
come morning time

This is for those without direction
This is for those who feel nothing but pain
This is for those who shine so bright

This is for those who'd do it all again
This is for us who believe
This is for those who see
This is for all who try
This is for you and I
