Terror
by M.J.E.
Slith'ring shapes and growing fiends
appear on every side.
Their tight'ning grip and deaf'ning shrieks
oppress my every stride.
Deep'ning fear and helplessness
control my wand'ring mind,
as realization of the end
ensnares me from behind.
Poison ache and wid'ning fear
start dissipating light.
It enters in my mind and soul.
I enter ceaseless night.

control my wand'ring mind,

ensnares me from behind.
Poison ache and wid'ning fear

It enters in my mind and soul.
I enter ceaseless night.
Forget It
by M.D.
Some like to remember,
But I like to forget;
Cause that's my best chance,
And that's my best bet,
To somehow survive this;
And yet...
I feel like it's crashing,
Falling apart;
My world crumbles in slow motions,
The smoke clouds my heart.
I have a deadly assurance
That this is the start
Of tears like a rainstorm,
Breaths like a hurricane;
I'm sorry you're suffering,
Trust me, it's myself I blame;
It cuts through my soul
Just to hear you say my name.
But memories, they torture me;
Replay a thousand more times.
And it's not like they sting,
They're sickly sweet, they cloud my mind.
Like a poison in disguise,
that if I consume, will make me blind,
Make me paralyzed,
Make me deaf
Oh, how hard I try
To utterly forget!
But when you let go of your past
You have practically nothing left.
Reminiscence is fatal,
And my mind I'd like to lose;
I want to destroy it altogether,
Because maybe when I do,
I can start completely over
Without the memories of you.

"Where Magic Lurks"
by M.D
I think magic lurks
Behind the tinkle of snowflakes.
The sound of a smile,
The music memories make.
Behind the sight of hidden hopes,
The sweet aroma of raindrops.
The desolate sting of broken dreams,
The cycle of life that never stops.
Behind the feeling of holding a baby,
And of being where you belong.
Behind hugs from a butterfly,
And the rainbows of a song.
Behind the wailing of cold, lonely wind,
The bittersweet taste of passing on.
Behind the bloodstains of a hero,
Behind a soul long gone.
Behind the melody of changing seasons,
And the harmony of star wishes.
The unlimited outcomes of a life,
And the many kinds of kisses.
Behind the releasing of clasped hands,
Of life-long friends parting ways.
Or, behind waking and sleeping,
And the continual passing of days.
Behind a falling star from heaven,
And a sad, crying cloud.
Behind the imaginations of a heart,
And the first cry of life so loud.
Behind the tinkle of snowflakes.
The sound of a smile,
The music memories make.
Behind the sight of hidden hopes,
The sweet aroma of raindrops.
The desolate sting of broken dreams,
The cycle of life that never stops.
Behind the feeling of holding a baby,
And of being where you belong.
Behind hugs from a butterfly,
And the rainbows of a song.
Behind the wailing of cold, lonely wind,
The bittersweet taste of passing on.
Behind the bloodstains of a hero,
Behind a soul long gone.
Behind the melody of changing seasons,
And the harmony of star wishes.
The unlimited outcomes of a life,
And the many kinds of kisses.
Behind the releasing of clasped hands,
Of life-long friends parting ways.
Or, behind waking and sleeping,
And the continual passing of days.
Behind a falling star from heaven,
And a sad, crying cloud.
Behind the imaginations of a heart,
And the first cry of life so loud.
"The One I Long For"
by MJE
I thirst for you, your sincere smile,
for you to come my way.
My longing for your slow caress
grows stronger every day.
Your voice is one I have not heard,
but it consoles me still.
My spirit longs for your soft words.
My soul is yours to fill.
I need your face, so warm, so kind
to bring warmth to this place.
My body aches for tender touch,
I long for your embrace.
for you to come my way.
My longing for your slow caress
grows stronger every day.
Your voice is one I have not heard,
but it consoles me still.
My spirit longs for your soft words.
My soul is yours to fill.
I need your face, so warm, so kind
to bring warmth to this place.
My body aches for tender touch,
I long for your embrace.
