Rogue

I used to love the spotlight

Occupying the central part of every stage,

I needed the company of strangers

I required their love

The reaffirming looks they provided me,

I always had the highest aspirations

Clouds could not contain

All the ideas I thought I knew,

I never paid attention to problems or side effects,

My life was how I had wished it was

At night others would sleep and have dreams,

To which they would aspire to,

I’d close my eyes and the dreams would review

The events I just completed that very day,

Time, Time shifts, Shifts away,

One moment you’ll have everything

The next they’ve forgotten who you are

My world is not what it once was,

Where I used to surround I now evade,

I once loved the attention,

Now I’ve gone underground, I’ve went rogue

Amnesia

The fertility of the soil

Reflects the barren future

In this world, this vulgarity

Under a crimson sky we hide

The length of time

The words we use

Hostages taken in

Shortened sight

Symbolic, Ever-present,

Pieces of omniscience

Blessing the atheist in each of us, for all our sins combined,

Fuel is splattering like a hose,

As children, racing across the grassy fields,

Evading droplets as they approach,

The hearts are filled with laughter,

The scent of their smiles saturate the air,

Flames intend to warm the soul

A blend of cascading whites and blues

An inferno, a helping hand,

Igniting the spark, destined to scorch

All written history, erasing the evidence

We were ever here
