Moving

          I would like to inform everyone that follows this, that I will be moving the blog. I have been wanting to promote what writing I do, and I have noticed many people truly enjoy my writing. However, not many people follow blogs anymore, not in the same way that they follow Facebook. I will be making a Facebook page, entitled DreamingInDarkness for the posting of my poetry. I will be removing things from here as soon as the page is up and running, so that I may post things there where I feel I may have a better opportunity to promote things. I realize my writing is just simple writing, and many more people write than we would realize at just a glance, but I do feel creating a page there will help get my writing spread out to other places more. Thank you for understanding.

Slow Death

          As I am sure you have noticed, many of my poetic expressions are ways of speaking to others when I just cannot seem to find the right way to express myself more formally. Some of my more recent writing is in fact still ways of expressing, though written in a more vague sense. I prefer the vague writing, so I hope that those of you reading will also enjoy it when I get to posting that stuff. This is the last I am going to post tonight, though I do have plenty more to post.

Rip my dreams,
Watch rainbows fade,
Push me off the edge,
My final escape,
A bed of nails,
Prick my happy dreams,
Smile through your power,
Watch the slow death of me.

Deep In Your Eyes

Deep in your eyes,
Oceans of fear,
Calming the storms,
Holding you near,
Love growing stronger,
Pain still resides,
Our souls connected,
Deep in your eyes.

Returning

          I will be returning to post more poetry. There have been many things going on within my life, some of which have been beyond fantastic, others have been quite detrimental to my emotional state of mind. I have seen the beauty within the heart of another. This has been truly a blessing beyond understanding, though now it seems that things have gone in a different direction. This is okay. I can accept this, as it gave me more confidence. I was given something I have not truly felt before in that sense; I was given the belief in myself I have looked for before. My singing has changed, for the better in my own opinion. My writing has remained the same. I have only written sporadically, as I was discouraged from writing for multiple reasons. One of which would be that my books have yet to truly begin to sell in a pleasant way. I am, however, going to continue to push that part of myself forward as writing is a very important part of my life. I hope that those of you who have remained with this blog will continue to do so, and will continue to read as I post more poetry. Thank you.

Fears

          I had a bad night worrying and fearing many things of the past. Memories haunting me. But my love will never change for this woman.

Fears of rejection,
Fears of the loss,
Fear of the repeat,
What once was our cost,
A new fire started,
From the ashes of death,
A soul reborn,
With your love I am blessed.

Slowed down writing

          I just wanted to let everyone know I have slowed down in my writing. There has been more going on and I am working on another project that doesn't involve poetry so I have not been writing the same poetic stuff as before. I am working on a larger project. I still have the same inspiration and love for my lady, but just have not had the poetic stuff coming out lately. I will start posting more once I hit that frame of mind again and write like crazy as I usually do.

Transgender

          As I am sure you have all noticed I have been absent for a couple of days. I am doing well, just been quite busy with myself. I have not been writing for a while either, so I am getting to the end of my poetry. I just haven't had the right frame of mind for the writing. I need to relax and open my soul to the love I am feeling so I may write more. This is one I wrote because of some conversations I have had about the changes and differences of who I am.

Bodies change in time,
Souls remain unharmed,
Latching on to what is seen,
Losing touch with grace and charm,
A conflict within the mind,
A disgust for what is seen,
When the body meets the soul,
Only then will we be free.

Days Gone By

Days gone by,
No taste of your lips,
Empties my soul,
These feelings I miss,
Till we meet again,
Only stars can deem,
If only not to wake,
For you're with me in dreams.

Treasure

          Another one written for my special lady. I just hope she feels as good about us as do I.

Look to the future,
Past trials and fear,
Soaked is our pillow,
Droplets of fear,
Fear of the loss,
Pain can't be measured,
No matter the cost,
You're my only treasure.

Meaningful Life

          Written for my most amazing love. I would do anything for her, even though I get so far down in the depths sometimes I feel as though I am only doing wrong.

The color of love,
Through hazel eyes,
Look deep in my soul,
Nothing left to hide,
Bared for you,
Yet still seen as beautiful,
Every kiss a treasure,
Making life meaningful.
