Castle

You.

Razors ripping from my heart

Cannons chipping at a timeworn castle

Old soul structure

Leaving behind broken glass

And a damaged pride.

I’ve packed but never left because

Some hand holds me back;

I yield and within these walls

Forage for serenity,

Always granted.

Garnet red war erupts around me but

This will be a sign,

This will be a herald of victory,

So shout from every pinnacle

That this castle shall not falter,

This kingdom shall not fall.

Independence Day

Knowing you was the Fourth of July

A little red, white and blue lightning in the sky

I watched but never listened

Hope they’d grant a wish and

You might be mine…

Till all left is the moon 

And my ears crack with the boom

Of destiny come to slap me in my mind,

Distance finally calculated 

Pain that’s unanticipated 

Now I know that there’s a steady reason why…

Again I stare out a window past my bedtime

Catching stolen glances at a skyline

CPR on memories in the night,

I wish a tear could bottle up your smiles as a sparkler in my hand

For when I need a little light. 

But I hope you’re happy and free.
