Swallowing colors that weighed down my pride
With a smiling face my charisma could hide
Holding these feelings that I just want to hold
Buried by chains hoping in time I'll let go
But only in death will I ever find rest
Sending my demons to hell for all the nights that I've wept
Stripping my bones of this flesh that I've so longed to peel
I get caught in its depths and I just want to kill
While I pray to my God my heart falls from the sky
Deeply buried below where my angels subsides
Displacement of love found in all the wrong places
Anger becomes hate then I detach and just break shit
So tell me again doc how should I let go
Before my serotonin and sanity spill all over the floor
From emptied bottles of pills where your salvation is faceless
Chasing bottles of violence until I get wasted
Naked, deflated, bloody knuckled, and bruises
You stood with closed eyes ignorant and still clueless
With no frame of reference to understand where I died
Or why the darkness surrounding keeps me far from the light
Lord of my life would you please start this over
Dig me out of this hole shrinking from sober to colder
Where the maggots consume the only heaven awaiting
But there's nothing left in this world but myself that can save me

~Jesse Okoroshi Masu Forster ~

You must have a hope
To inspire you.
You must have a path
To pursue.
You must have a object
To work for, a plan
And a purpose in view.

You must have a some direction
Or lost you'll go drifting along.
You must have faith to guide you,
When life holds no light
And no song!

You must have a stake in the future,
Though swiftly the years may depart.
You always have something to live for
If you have a dream in your heart.!

The sun shown on the lone grave
As she stood gazing at the stone
Distance memories flowing in waves
Lapping at her mind like foam

How yellow was Mom's favorite color
Especially little flowers like buttercups
Continued memories of her Mother
Starting to cry until she hiccuped

Suddenly a yellow butterfly gently flew by
Right to the stone briefly touching it
Like saying to the stone a brief hi
On to the shoulder of the woman it lit

Staying only briefly there as though to say
Do not cry for your Mom for she is not here
She is looking down and not far away
Watching over you she will always be near

Away the yellow butterfly gently flew
In the graveyard to another stone
Looking to spread comfort to those too
Reminiscing their memories and feeling alone

Mirror - Mirror what do you see
Other than a reflection of me
Do you see all of my sorrows
Or the future of all my tomorrows

The sadness that lurks behind the eyes
The happenings that have made me wise
Lost loves that pains to remember
Or new loves lighting my eyes with ember

Wishful thinking of a permanent love
With hopes of help from above
Lines worn deep from age
Each one telling its tale of sage

Do you see the ravages of starkness
Caused by exposure to others darkness
Hoping for more light to shine through
And that special love meant for two

Tired from my climb out of the water
I crawled onto a lily pad
Trying to balance with a little totter
Feeling more than slightly sad

I had left all my friends at the bottom
Nature telling I needed to leave
Yes the view up here is awesome
Although leaving friends I do grieve

I made a promise I would return
But wait – my body is changing
I need to tell them what happens up here
I now have wings and am flying

I am now all these beautiful fluorescent colors


I need to return to tell the good news
But all I can do is skim the water in flutters
Look up – lookup through the water and peruse

We come from the bottom of the earth
Then are called to the surface
Going through a transformation and rebirth
For a whole new life and purpose

Look up – look up above and see
God has given us a new body in life
Look up and see how beautiful you will be
You will leave the darkness too and arise

Why did I step through the
Wardrobe in the first place?
Why did I find my way here
So far from home
Here, where there are secrets buried
In the snow
And a queen made of ice
Rules



I wonder why I had to meet her
And trust her words
Now I find that her very touch
chills me to my bones
I wish that this night was over
Cause I have never been so cold before
I have never been so alone



I wonder who will lead the way
As I go on the greates adventure of all?
Who will lift me up
When I stumble and fall?
Who can I believe in
As shadows knocks on my door?



I wonder why I had to meet her
And trust her words
Now I find that her very touch
chills me to my bones
I wish that this night was over
Cause I have never been so cold before
I have never been so alone

In my mind, you are the thought,

in my heart you are the beat,

I can’t live without both,

it’s your love that make me fit.



You are sparkling in my eyes,

in my soul you are the essence,

I couldn’t find that magic twice,

It’s the joy that fulfill me in your presence.

sometimes I'm amazed
at how stale and stubborn
I have become
and even out of sync with time
but then since you left
I don't have any reason
to keep track of moment
that comes and goes

I din't even know
summer is gone
fall, too, is now buried
deep in the snow
somehow I am anticipating
the new birth of tomorrow
but here I am still nursing
in my yesterday's sorrow

I am never wishing
that our past would come back
hell no!
it's just that I wish
the wound heals
and my mind forgets
all these pains and heartaches

and I will be in sync
with the world and time
again..like it used to be
before I met you.

Truth doesn't always shine
in the rise of dawn

Nor in the smile of innocence

It doesn't light up
in the beauty of a new bud

nor reside in the purity of my heart

It sometimes crawl
in the shadows of the dark

sits in the tirade of time

dance in bitterness of disappointments


And from my sanity it runs.

My discovery
of your brutal and selfish world
is killing me.

You turned your back on me a few moments ago, just brobably didn't think about what you've done.
In the beginning you promised me your love, but this is what it all become.
You ripped my heart out, shot it to pieces before you put it in again.
I'm not sure if i ever will become what i once was and even if i do, i don't know when.
Tears falling over the keyboard, tears of sadness and pain.
The feeling boils over and goes out of control, its impossible to restrain.
The only thing left to do is grabbing something and hope it holds.
you blew my soul to pieces and all i got left is a lost heart full of holes.
