    My Secret Garden

    The day has dawned
    To reveal
    Such a
    Beauty and
    Passion,
    To explain this
    Beauty
    Would be futile
    For each pixel
    Of beauty
    Is a description of
    A thousand words
    Or more.

    The day has dawned
    Revealing
    Such an exquisite
    Garden
    Of which to write about
    And as I gaze
    In my amazement
    And wonder,
    I think of
    The one whom I love,
    For these same feelings,
    Not quite identical,
    Exist within me.

    As I gaze at this
    Ravishing garden,
    It sweeps a spell across
    My heart
    And as I get to know this garden,

    It becomes my
    Secret,
    For only I know
    Of its actuality,
    And it bewilders me
    And befuddles me
    With its' idyllic way...

    I long to bring him here,
    To share with him
    The true beauty of a world
    Filled with human,
    Then I remember
    I am only human,
    He is only a man
    And no matter how beautiful
    And lovely
    He seems,
    He is always a man
    And men do not see authentic
    Beauty,
    They only see artificial beauty,
    Like within plastic women
    And cars.

    Genuine beauty is in nature
    Not in the things that they create
    With their mortal hands,
    With their temporal knowledge,
    With their ephemeral brains,
    Their tiny lore is nothing
    Compared to the beauty
    Of trees and plants,
    Of all things pure...

    And that is why, Daimon,
    I cannot share with you
    My secret garden
    No matter how beautiful
    And wonderful
    And pure it is,
    For you cannot know beauty
    If you only count
    What is on the outside
    And not the inside...

    Everyday

    Everyday,
    I stand alone,
    And watch the sun set,

    Everyday,
    I stand here waiting
    For your love, and yet,

    Everday,
    I try to find a reason
    For why my life is black and white,

    Everyday,
    Your silence
    Makes me wonder why,

    Everyday,
    I stand here watching
    Cold chances pass me by,

    Everyday,
    I stare ahead,
    Waiting for to die,

    Everyday,
    I stand on the beach
    And wonder why I'm not good enough...

    Everyday,
    I stand alone,
    And ponder why it's you I love...

    *

    Everyday,
    I ask myself
    Why I can't try to move on,

    Everyday,
    I try to convince
    Myself that all chances are gone,

    But...

    Everyday,
    I simply remain,
    Standing here,
    Dying softly...

    Because I love you.

    Love Will Make You Crazy:

    You fell in love with a girl
    She didn't care at all
    Then you cut your wrist
    In hopes that you would fall
    I'm screaming out in pain now
    Cause those cuts are me
    Thats my heart shes holding
    Its my heart that bleeds,
    Thats my wrist your slashing
    I'm dashing in the salt
    So i can feel your pain
    I love you more than anything
    And its driving me insane.

    A Shadow at Sunset
    by KindlyUnspoken

    His black silhouette was a shadow
    Against the beginning sunset.
    The waves snaked up to his feet,
    Gripping him, holding him tight.
    He did not want to leave.

    He thought that, maybe,
    If he looked far enough out to sea,
    Could he possibly see his future?
    He hoped so, since any minute now
    The sea would be just that.

    He peeled off his jacket and smelled it:
    An image of his mother crept into his mind.
    As the last remaining fragments of
    Her perfume still lingered on the fabric;
    She had hugged him goodbye.

    His shoes were perfectly polished;
    Brand new, only bought yesterday.
    It was a waste, really.
    Along with his socks and trousers,
    He placed them in the sand.

    He didn't look back as he walked.
    The water was cold, freezing even,
    But he didn't care.
    He didn't much like the heat,
    Especially at night.

    Oceanic Perspective.

    As I'm staring at the sanded horizon,
    With it's pale face of yellow spotted Anticipation,
    I am Retracing my steps un-taken.

    If my Memory serves me in truth unwavering:
    The buoyant red future is resplendently jello,
    And my palms are the nervous novels to be.

    Within the cursive of Sky's blotched ink,
    I see What Ifs peering around rays of Idea.
    Possibility holds hue blue as the backdrop of sea.

    A wave, driven and tossed -- splits into Change
    And Jagged edged dreams give Way to gravity.

    One water-child cries,
    -----------The Other smiles,
    And lastly the sister agrees.

    Howling gusts braid direction Back-wards,
    Bringing me new optimystical Outcomes
    On the sigh of this shore's bended knee.

    And as I'm staring at the sanded horizon,
    With it's pale face of yellow spotted Anticipation,
    I am Retracing my steps un-taken.
