Ranting

By: S.Cain

Show me the way to the parade
Sticky eager faces
Turn at the corner here
And take a cab
To the fresh new fields
Green with envy
How do you do that
Why would you want to
After I'm done I'll have a drink
Something that burns
But tastes like grass
A long day ahead of me
But a shorter one behind me
Its time to take a nap
A soft damp pillow rests on my knee
Lay your hatred down on me
But mind the air
Its dense with something
A substance known as light

Digging

By: S.Cain

Truth, like diamonds are often
something buried & hard to find
Lies, however are most often glinting
on the surface of a mind

Its a struggle to dig through the dirt
of lies upon lies
But when you strike a diamond
its usually unrecognized

The beauty of that sparkle
is something everyone is attracted to
But when you've been in the dirt too long
sometimes the lies become true

Its up to you to determine
how hard you will work for the stones
And discover a mine in your mind
and a diamond of your very own

Box

By: S.Cain

If I put you in a box
Could I take you out and play

If I kept you in my room
Would you promise to always stay

If I gave you all of me
Could I know what you would say


If I held you together
Would you never run away

If I showed you the inside
Could I see yours someday

If I felt you in my dreams
Would you keep our demons at bay

If I let you fall down
Could I help you up halfway

If I took you with me now
Would you never go away

Open Your Eyes

Dedicated to a friend

By: S.Cain

The light shines through my window like it knows my secrets. Feathers of a whisper come scratching to the corners of my bed. Silent cries of want, born through desperation and raised within my thighs. Raping my own innocence away with every superficial caress and every stolen breath. I believe you will love my body tonight but never understand my mind so when darkness envelopes my room it shatters the reality I've made in my fantasy. I'll take whatever scraps are left behind because I know no other way to want and to be loved. My body is my temple but somehow i manage to destroy it brick by brick every night i share my walls with you. Damn you for not seeing this and damn me for allowing it.

Struggling Through The Strength

By: S.Cain

Moonlight washes away the day

Eyelids where your shadows rest

Never tired, never timid

The memories only conquest

Something oldened & forgotten

Sobs in the rhythm of your heart

The scar of a wound reopened

Which was never healed from the start

Live in the beauty of the night

And in the cloudless starry skies

Never tired, never timid

Of what the sun and moon denies

Light shines in the hint of your smile

And in the soft cheeks of your face

I look into your eyes blinded

By what can never be replaced

Behind Life's Debris

By: S.Cain

Just behind the sunset
My future waits for me
I haven't seen it yet
But its my destiny

Its where I'm full of pride
Its where I have to be
The wisdom coincides
With what I have to see

Just behind the sunset
The present slips from me
Appealing silhouette
Wind whispering softly

Its where children divide
Its where they give their plea
And the adult resides
To make the guarantee

Just behind the sunset
The past envelopes me
It is so delicate
Remember, holds the key

I have somewhat denied
The hurt endured by me
And taken all in stride
Everything that could be

Just behind the sunset
Time has entangled me
I will never regret
The pain i felt for thee

The emotions collide
Anger and honesty
Just like a rising tide
You roll in constantly

Just behind the sunset
A cloud of life's debris
I must never forget
The way we disagreed

Its on the other side
The cloud of life's debris
Where feelings cannot hide
The wound sustained by me

If Love Were A Prayer

By: S.Cain

The sweetest taste of rapture on your lips
The softest touch of gentleness on hips
Their bodies and mind in a partial eclipse
Unavailable to the futures script

Understand me
A soul let free
Don't have to be
Life's guarantee

His frame entangled in her perception
His reasoning to hold her attention
All thoughts held in a tasteful conception
To allow their bodies own ascension

Figures prepare
An evening shared
Hes unaware
Shes in a stare

Her intuition is locked in his view
Her uneasiness is swayed by his too
Their contemplation has become a clue
As to the belief of love overdue

Let someone in
Through the thick skin
And feel within
A needed sin

Their faith becomes a flirtation of lies
Their hope becomes a creation of tries
All in a world full of darkness in eyes
Abundant with the most silent of cries
