Butterflies in Barbwire

My first act, my first attempt
at trying life for the first time
Breathing in the essence
of my first love
Now with a broken heart
I must continue on,
taking with me
the pain and shame
as I pull away from the fear of being alone...
Butterflies wrapped in barbwire
clashing wits and doubts
My soul juxtaposed with a few sprinkled ashes
tearing myself apart
from the inside out

Clawing my way out from insanity
justifying and searching for what I actually believe in
Through tarnishing thoughts throughout my head
My undecided requisition for the woman that lays in my bed
Lucious lips of lust pull me in closer..
So hard to turn away

Far too deep to climb back out
She's the soverign addiction,
my one, my only,
in which I cannot escape
Her voice spreads like fire
rummaging through my ear
She's the one I cant contain
but so contagious that I must set her free

Just understand that I'm unaware
of my drastic thinking,
my ramblings of nothingness
I'll shall speak in riddles
  for you to decipher.

  Dancing shadows
        haunting within my last nights dream
              Drawing deeper with lead and ink
          Pushing so hard that they begin to break
                        like me under pressure...

                              I'm floating on clouds of white,                                   
                  soft and transparent.
                    My mind is taking me elsewhere.
                                              Truth and lies
                          I cannot tell which is which
                                      it all sounds the same.

                Intervals of twisted thoughts
                                  mashed together,
                                        reaching out
                                        Pulling closer,
                                      Screaming voices uttering words of
                                        hatred and damned redemption.

                                                  So tight, so close
                      I cant seem to breathe in this enclosed space
                                                  Pieces of the puzzle
                                                  separate
                                      and rearrange themselves
                                              Now impossible to solve
                              So I cannot finish what I've started.......

Author notes

This is so far unfinished as I reach into more of my deep headed thoughts which maybe this will never end?? I dont know but I'll find something to end it with a bang....or a just a flag that says bang! i dont know and again um this is really weird and so.... out there I kinda just did this randomly and I really dont think it has a rhythm or anything if you want an idea I guess maybe it could be a 'Tool' song. I dont know I'll finish it later tho.

    This is truly beautiful and dark like much of your work, I'm usually a dark poet myself. You're amazing as I've said most of the times before. Never stop writing so greatly!! You're wonderful!!=]

    zomg... bro this is awesome. you have such a way with words.. && big ones too.. "juxtaposed" *grabs dictionary* ahh.. i see.. =]
    well done! again this is awesome, it has an air about it that just pulls you in and your trapped. not wanting to get out, but then you get to the big " not finished yet" and figure out you have to dig your way out with a spork.

    but um. er. away from the sporks.... that could get quiet nasty..*curses sporks but holds them close*

    cant wait to read more!!!

    much love bro!
