The Reason

Three years ago,
I didn't know why,
I would wake up,
I had no purpose.

Thirty six months ago,
I didn't know where,
My life would take me,
I was deprived purpose.

Everyday I would see my reflection,
And ask myself "what are you doing?"
I never had a straight honest answer,
Till the day you entered my empty life.

I thought it was all a dream,
How could it be anything else?
You looked at me and I knew,
Everything would be perfect.

You saw my cold quivering heart,
You had touched it and nurtured it,
I had never seen a person so pure,
Who could renew my love for life.

I know not what came over me,
Perhaps the darkest of clouds,
Perhaps a scorned witch's curse,
Perhaps my own crazed mind.

This morning as I wake,
I feel a familiar feeling,
Nowhere worth going,
Nothing worth doing.

How could a day have any worth?
If it was wasted without your hug,
If it passed by without your voice,
If it passed by without your presence.

Open Eyes

Forgive me father for I have sinned,
I had taken to the pipe far too early,
I had indulged in wines too much,
I lost sight of what truly mattered.

I swear to you my good father,
The pipe shall never again be lit,
The wines shall no more be tasted,
My eyes exist only for the truth.

Forgive me mother for I have sinned,
I carelessly broke your faith in me,
I had never truly appreciated you,
I lost sight of what truly mattered.

I swear to you my mother,
Every waking hour of mine,
Shall be to repair everything,
My eyes exist only for the truth.

Forgive me brother for I have sinned,
I never saw how you tried to help me,
You had offered me endless advice,
I merely tossed it aside without a look.

I swear to you my brother,
The words you had spoken,
Have not fallen on deaf ears,
My eyes exist only for the truth.

Forgive me my greatest friend for I have sinned,
I know not what poison had entered my mind,
You bear a heart purer than all of the angels,
I mindlessly treated it like the heart of Satan.

I swear to you my dear friend,
The poison flows no more,
I see your heart shining bright,
My eyes exist only for the truth.

Olympian Sadism

A broken heart cried out,
"Lords of infinite wisdom
Heal me and unbreak me!
Revive this bleeding heart!"

"Ye Lords of Olympus!
Ye bade me to fall for one,
She trampled and tore me,
I lay here maimed before you."

Ye did revive this bleeding heart,
Renewed it with your sacred breath,
Gave it new life, new hope, new wings,
Amidst its first flight, ye showed it.

Ye showed it, ye told it,
"Give yourself to her,
She'll hold ye, love ye,
Show ye the truth in life."

The flying heart quickly said,
"Aye my lord! Ye doth know best!
Her heart is pure and wondrous!
The one who'll prove life's beauty!"

Soon the heart turned to Olympus,
"Ye lords! How could'st this be!
Ye were wrong! she tore me apart!"
She burned my wings! stabbed me!"

"Ye know'st all, yet thee stir me array!
Wherefore! What sins hath I sinned!
This heart can not suffer much more!
Unless? Yes! I see the truth clear now!"

"What was once the epitome of life,
Now occupies the darkest hearts!
What other reason could there be?
To punish such a loyal son of thee!"

"Forgive me, ye evil dogs!
For begging at thy feet!
Hath I known thy evils,
I'd stir towards the Titans!"

Resurrection

What is this I feel?
Does it stir once more,
Yes I know what it is,
My heart alive again.

It beats and flutters so swiftly,
Like a young bird attaining flight,
flying with energy and ecstasy,
My heart feels new and ecstatic.

But wherefore does it awaken?
Wherefore does it beat again?
I see, its clear, you caused this,
Your eyes resurrected me.

A heart which had died,
Brought forth with life,
As a phoenix does rise,
From its lifeless ashes.

My heart has risen,
With energy renewed,
All hope is restored,
My shadow vanished.

You gave back to me,
My ally, feared lost,
I place in your hands,
My endless undying love.

Who better to bequeath such a gift,
Than the one who brought me back,
Back from the darkest pits of death,
One wondrous enough to resurrect hope,

Forbidden Fruit

I'll never forget that day,
Our sister joined our paths,
It was truly a joyous day,
For I laid eyes on you.

I know one fact clear as day,
We can never ever be more,
You shall always be the fruit,
the most forbidden fruit to exist.

I dare not touch that fruit,
The consequences too dire,
Our sister would be lost,
And be enveloped in rage.

The rage would eat her whole,
The fire would burn our hearts,
The fire would sever our bond,
The fire leaves our future forbidden.
