Pages

A chest of pages

Empty pale sheets

Treasure

Encased in a dark sleeve

Waiting for my pen 

To speak

They were always destined to meet

Ink stains

remain 

like the blood flowing

through my veins

Stuck in a maze

Mapping out my story

Penning history

Marking my feelings

Unlocking the poet in me

Private counselling

Text medication 

Always listening

Stacks of memories 

Scribbled scenes

Doodled dreams

Dried ink

Silent ....words

Masking 

Lines of reality

Life in chapters

Sensitive sentences

Exposing

The 

Tragic 

Fatalities

Life brings

Lost heartbeats

Scrawled repeatedly

Forever stained

Ink blotches 

Attempting to erase

The sound of the

Crayons scratching the page

help me 

screaming

see me

With bright colours

Painting over 

Dark pictures 

of Childhood

And battles beyond words

Armed with my lyrical sword

Smudging over  old thoughts

Stolen sheets

When its all about him

Torn pages

Tearing

Tear-ing

Close that book

New chapters

Fresh beginnings 

And perseverance

Pushing a new pen 

Composing lyrics

Cloaked in hope, 

No end of the rope

Ive tried

But

God said 

No

Ive got other plans for you

Carved in concrete

Bigger than you or me

Magnified

Like ants across the page

Navigating the path

Leading  to a different day

A new stage

For my sword to slay

script the truth

Share the torment 

Open book

Off the shelf

Here to be read

Pages unfold

Stories to be told

Creased edges

Tattered pages

Battered lines

Across her face

Speak a million words

Marks from the past

Lost in the past

Trapped in the past 

Like the love songs 

we use to sing

Every lyric about him

Want to sing a new hymn

Blank sheets

That dont begin or end with him

No happily ever afters

Just never happy

forevers

Cries as the pen tells the page

Like the memories drilling in my brain

Time to erase

Blotch out

Scrap the old song sheets

Erased

Replaced

Love songs

with all the right beats

we left behind

you and me 

Beat differently

Blurred 

Realities

Empty sentences

Combine paragraphs of pages

That we should delete

Messages ina bottle

Lost at sea

Ended

History

Glasses on

Seeing clearly

Saving all my love

Just for me

Typing a new 

Narrative

Real life 

Fairy tale scene

Castle walls

Standing tall

Defending treasure

with my sword as my script

penning my pain

shielding my heart

with pages of yesterday

Eliminating 

Negative Energy

Glowing

Gleaming

Blinding 

Avoiding

Dark shadows calling

Scrawling my way

Through the sheets

Avoiding catching heartbeats

Laid bare

Knotches on the bed

To get him out my head

Lyrics of love & life

For all to see

Poetry

The pages of my diary
