untitled how'd i get here?untitled by ~pursuing-perfection
i've no idea!
so many new experiences-
many i hold dear.
unchartered territory
places to explore
seeking and learning
exposure and allure.
souls reaching out
yearning for a touch
acknowledgment, acceptance
hope... and love.
sitting on the outside
looking deep within
gaining new perspectives
holding onto friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i know its been years
but often do you cross
this vastness of my mind
my heart, my soul.
life is just a cycle
round and round we go
forever will i hold
to the friendship we had long ago.


past present future Its the Other Side of Emptynesspast present future by ~pursuing-perfection
Mirrored in my soul
Begging, taunting, tainting
Not allowing me to grow.
The past never leaves me
Grabbing all my thoughts
Unrelenting, Unforgiving, Unchanging
Not leaving any hope.
The present is here and now
But what will i ever find
Dreaming, Praying, Believing
Not true friends of mine.
The future is an open book
The pages look so blank
Fearing, willing, searching
For the end of time
In the Other Side of Emptiness
The vortex swirls around
Smothering, quenching, killing
Any living sound.


working of patience this journey seems to go on forever-working of patience by ~pursuing-perfection
walking through endless miles of emotions and expectations,
i have to ask myself "will i ever get there?"
two steps forward, three steps back-
or maybe that's just my warped perspective,
i stop and think, "is it really worth it?"
my legs are weary and my heart is sick-
hope dashes from my grasp,
i ponder endless possiblities, "where am i going?"
but one day a ray of light appears-
and it would seem that things are better than yesterday,
i take in a deep breath and sigh, "thank you, God, for sticking with me."
sitting alone, my thoughts keep me company-
my only desire is to make some s


the greater good from time to time in lifethe greater good by ~pursuing-perfection
i find myself
within situations that are delicate
and it's so hard to know
the right choice
the right direction
one would think that
it would be so obvious
so easy
but in this life
all are bound to have trouble and strife
often of our own making
where the decisions and choices
that are pondered
and made
just don't make any sense
to those around you
and sometimes even to yourself
but in my heart
i'm convinced
its for the greater good
all the while praying
that those who matter
see it too.


My Light The clouds of despair,My Light by ~Faoiltiarna-Wolf
of anguish,
of heartbreak
surrounded me,
ripped through me,
destroying my heart,
my trust.
A sudden ray of light
touched me,
surrounded me,
held me.
Taking the darkness,
the pain,
the agony.
Chased it away,
shielded me,
and gave me the armor to live.
Again.


Save Me Please Save me, please,Save Me Please by ~Faoiltiarna-Wolf
from myself,
my fears,
my hurts,
my pain.
Save me, please,
from the ones who lie,
who use,
who betray,
who hurt.
Save me, please.


Rain The gray dawn reveals muted colorsRain by ~BigMoody1
Green leaves reflect a glistening sheen
as the dull skies deliver their precious gift
The promise of radiant life anew
Flowers of yellow and purple
add to natures watercolor masterpiece
as the rain revives and refreshes
a tired and parched earth
I stand in the clearing
and lift my arms to the heavens
reveling in the beauty of the rain
Allowing its power of life
to wash over me and flow within me
For if the Goddess caused the rain to fall
Who am I, a mere man
to allow otherwise


Someday SomedaySomeday by ~BigMoody1
I'll move out of this place
where I never intended
to stay for so long
and leave behind
the memories of a life
I never wanted
Someday
I'll learn to harden my soul
so that I can stop feeling
the pain of my heart breaking
every time I let someone in
telling me they love me
only to leave anyway
Someday
I'll learn to appreciate
the good I have in life
instead of focusing
on what I don't have
or what I've lost
Someday
I'll begin to understand
why life changes so fast
why people change
why I change
and learn not just to accept it
but to welcome it
Someday
I'll leave all this behind
the dark shadows and f
