Plucking strings and broken wings
Are the things that defined my Ponyville summer
When nice Nurse Mare from urgent care
Put my wings in slings oh gosh what a bummer
(but I'll abscond)
But you wouldn't care when you're in the care of
(where I'll have fun)
When you're in the care of Lyra and Bon-Bon
I looked all day for a place to stay
But No Vacancy signs went on for miles
They saw my cast, they didn't even ask
They took me right in to stay for a while
(but I don't mind)
You wouldn't ask why when you're as desperate as I
(out of the sun)
No, you don't ask why when it's Lyra and Bon-Bon
I watched them together while under the weather
And couldn't believe my eyes
Two ponies like this who share every kiss
Like they'll share the rest of their lives
It made me blue and a little bit green
That they were flushed red with love
I'm too yellow to tell them I'm leaving today
Under the orange sunset above

I have tried countless times to express, to my best extent,
my heart's intent via words in my head,
but trying to type by low-lit laptop light late at night -
it's no dice!
Eternal solipsist, I: perhaps a recluse to your outside view
but you need to know how much I truly value you,
so no poetry. I choose to show my amity through brute sincerity.
You all mean the world to me.
Please, know this.

Skies are dark, a lifeless sanguine abyss
Keep hoping for a day when you think you'll be missed
So start your journey, a thousand times you've done this before
'Cause the life worth living isn't there anymore
Days turn to months to years as the centuries pass
Every day feels longer than the rest you had
'Cause everywhere you go you find pieces of your past
Bringing back the memories you forgot you had
And every time you fall in love you know
Remind yourself that you gotta let go
Remember the moment you first felt alone
Time and space don't mean a thing
And why should they when you've lost the meaning they bring?
It's just not every day you see a unicorn who forges her own way
Reminding you, Colgate, to tie up loose ends
What good is this love if you'll just get hurt again?
What good is the morning if the night never comes?
So keep your head up high
Don't ever look back
'Cause girl it's worth a try
Keep your sights straight forward
So keep your head up high
And soon you will see
There's more to life than this game of immortality

On the weathered edges of the page in the book of my life
I would like to scribe a message in the night.
This session that I'm penning is a flight from the mindscape
Cinematic in design like the Lion's Gate
Dramatic thoughts, and promises lost. And what is the cost?
And how does it fall, the odds tossed?
This accumulation of the past - it's vastly drastic
And asking me to leave it behind? Well, that's it...
'Cause I've had a valley and peaks of rallies and weak times
But I'm free to speak mine
And to think, if I didn't it's like having a weak mind
In a week's time I'd seek to rewind...
But as I flip the pages of the script
See the lines end. But new lines rise, I find them
And I'm then resigned to write them
The past few chapters of my life end.
But -
A clean slate, a blank page - the emptiness
Whiter than the driven snow from a Winter's kiss
Brighter than the glow from a hot ember, it's
a rod tempered with odd memories of a sinner's bliss
A new chapter now
I'm graduating from my past with a cap and gown
And ask me how. Life is like the cat's meow
I wear this angelic coat like I'm Castiel
Supernaturally fly
It's tragically endearing like the 'Apples of My Eye'.
In fear, I'm nearing a high, that I could never climb
Right here I close my eyes and let my peers from behind...
Lift me. This intimate gift means
I can trust my fans hands are really with me.
And if anything I'm ready to take the next step
Because change without fear is the best.
Invested in your self, your metamorphosis it develops
and envelops you. Let it happen naturally, I'm tellin you.
Filling shoes you're unwilling to was the telling clue
Honeymoon period is up... I had a feeling too.
I'm appealing you to listen
Terrified of change isn't a strange position
And there ain't no wisdom I can say to base it in
But stay in the game, and don't play for plain winnin'.
~
Think about the life that you existed
The fixed photographs of memories are screen captures of an instance
Exits and entrances of evidence you touched lives
Forever resident, and present in your rough eyes
Because the wrinkles are the residue
And when you blink it's for the future that's ahead of you.
You're resolute with your attitude
Proof that you had your youth, tested was the truth in your platitude
Even then, you can laugh it off
'Cause that's an awful lot of struggles that you're passin' off
My hat is off to those who've casted off
the shackles of their flashbacks to an afterthought
For man has sought deep space like an astronaut
These new chapters I embrace like a wrapping cloth.
This book is bound by a timeline wrought in the iron
of the spine that replaces a master lock
But you dip your pen in the inkwell
For it's the path you've yet to tread that makes the ink spill
It makes you think still living on the brink
Will give you all the words you can drink
But sip with bit of sense - savor the innocence
Flavour is imminent, taste will begin when it has a chance
I haven't answered your question
But then again - every page in your life is a lesson.

To charter the heart seems a farcical task
Its reaches extend past a physical start
Arteries flow on untraceable paths
And channel our love to the farthest of hearths
The crackle of kindling, the burning of bark
The sound and the light and the warmth of a fire in dark
Ignites from intangible sparks
That marvellous charge in us all

I've loved every minute of it
The whole day was splendid, magnificent and
It could've been a bad day, but it wasn't.
It doesn't even matter what I did before, does it?
So -
What is it about the last rays?
Cut through the clouds as sun downs half way
Beckon the night to rise like a calling
Slow on the descent the sun slips, falling.
Some silence - sun sighs in asylum
Inside of the sky the night slides out of hiding.
Sight is so exciting
The moon might make a move, to do life right by its abiding.
And I am riding on the rhythm of the wind
The cool breeze hitting on the surface of the skin
And it sends pins and needles, I feel it till I grin.
A feeling like a healing rush, hush from within.
Hush from within.
Quiet for a moment.
Alone with the universe as it opens.
And the infinitesimal dots of the stars penetrate.
Bars resonate, darkness regenerates.
Hard to then relate to the great vast space
As it bends, imperceptibly a fast pace.
But I face it with both feet forward.
I look to the stars as my breath moves towards it.
The end of the course, of course unimportant.
Learning from the journey is the source of the fortune.
I'm sorting the world, array of the origins.
The nightforce, born again pointing to the morning.
The night is born and I escort it to the morning.
The last rays are the night's forewarning.
And I was scorned for it.
To see the sunset fade though was fortunate.
~
The evening serenades me
Displays an array like a fading painting.
The same things that occur every other night.
My brain makes things blur in another light.
Try to explain, I can't, words can't reach.
Slurred speech as my nerves burn, mind breached
As I reach for an adjective.
Imaginative with additives is all I can manage to give.
For these adages at best need a catalyst
Further analysis confirms the amalgamous
Yeah - meaning a blend of the senses.
Mixed emotions and thoughts co-dependence.
To go and end this would be so reckless,
Abandonment, man, it seems so relentless.
So be it then, this pensive sentence
It bends in another way, we’re splayed defenceless.
Hence the sunset bliss as an interlude
To an endless - mix of the dimmer hues
Face of the night as it’s veiled by the galaxy
The pale cheek of the moon shines gallantly
I often dream that the pallor sheen goes
As a silver satellite gallops by like a palomino
I see no evil in the nightmare moon.
But only Luna’s melancholy cries so soon.
~
And my eyes don’t swoon like they used to.
It’ll take more than the dark to seduce you.
You’ve been reduced to the second fiddle sister.
That, and her prodigy has already convinced her
To be the gap between sunset and nightfall.
Ascended to the throne as an heir, rightful?
So be mindful, she strikes when the time’s right.
The last rays of the day, known as Twilight.

Lights go out, the sun goes down
I stand and turn around
And watch the stars above me
Time goes by, and I fall apart
Things come and go and try to break my heart
I'm trapped and I can't seem to break free
Constellations
We're all fighting to find the truth
With determination
I'll fill the void between me and you
Looking up I will depart
I'll spread my wings so take my heart
To the constellations and make my dreams come true
Take me back to where I once was
Turn on the lights in the sky above
I'm lost in the bitter darkness
I can't breathe in your atmosphere
Where have I gone, and how did I get here?
I'm trying but I can't escape this
