The Price of Magic

Found myself in a dark place once.

Scary thoughts ran through my mind,

Making me feel and see horrible things.

Help me I screamed.

How long has it been?

Days? Weeks?

Months? Years?

I screamed once more.

Lost in the shadows,

There he was too.

A knight in shinning armor,

Whose light was dimming.

He raised his sword by instinct,

Trying to protect himself.

He also has been through a lot.

He looked into my eyes,

Then he smiled.

Help had arrived,

For me… for him.

We hold each other.

We stumbled in the dark,

But we held each other.

Firmly.

As we walked, the darkness faded.

His shine returned,

And so did my hopes.

We charged forward.

Comfortable we got too fast.

Once out of the darkness,

Our lives began to thrive.

It was all a mirage.

When we least expected,

The darkness came back.

Just like a curse,

It was just a trap.

Our love was magic,

And it always comes with a price.

Our price was his freedom,

And my broken heart.

Poem: The Wayward

Against all odds,

here I stand.

I'll Fight,

either darkness or light.

Our love will rise,

it will survive.

After the sixteenth

the moon will shine.

I'll always find a way...

CLAIM YOUR SELF

...I'm the Wayward.

When you let your heart win.

When the night falls,
You cave in...
Desire consumes you...
Your fears come alive.

Your mind plays tricks on you
And you struggle to differ
Which one is reality...
You scream.

Your heart pounds,
And as adrenaline run through your veins
Your emotions
Betray you...

You fall,
You cry...
Loose yourself apart,
When you let your heart win.

Catching lightning in a bottle

One day I'll be back

And as I lay in the sand,
the warm Caribbean waters bathe me.
And my soul gets clean
as my tears roll down my face.

Someday I'll be back
and enjoy the warmth of this sand
and return to my youthful days
of this my sacred land.

I'm scared...
Of what's beyond the horizon,
and inside my chest a heart pounds...
with pain... with fear.

But I'll be back,
I'm sure of it.
I will once more feel
the warmth of the sun rising from the east.

Under the Shadows of the Sun

All I want to do is Cry
Forget about everything that is wrong inside.
Hide the sun with my hand,
and let its shadow hide my life.

My heart crumbles deep inside
And bleeds his sorrows
One…
By
One…

Come,
Safe me from my death
‘cuz slowly this pain is killing me.
Save me! Hold my hand!

You Make Me Believe

And then, after all hope was lost,
dressed in shining armor you came,
and galloping on your white horse
you passed me by and took my breath away.
And after we departure to undiscovered lands,
together we spend nights & days bonding our love,
making it eternal and real
... but then a storm came...
It destroyed everything we had fought for,
tore our glorious creation,
our hopes and dreams,
the best thing of our lives.
All hope was once again lost
and pain and sorrow filled my heart,
and with my eyes filled with tears
I cried like a newborn.
But then the sun came out
and dried my tears up
and across the sky a rainbow showed up
you kissed me, giving me the strength 
to once again believe in love.
