Sanity

I lost my sanity in the middle of the night while thinking of you...I flipped through channels on T.V's and through
pages of books

I lost my mind hoping that you'd notice and you come crawling back to me.....but it made me feel worst when you stared down at me and sneered like I didn't matter

I lost my compassion when you put your hands on me
concrete floors and the taste of blood do not go together
I thought I had my sanity forever.

I lost my sense of direction, no longer did I have the days where I could close my eyes and feel your presence

I lost me and I lost you but I'd do anything to discover what's in that head of yours. Why break me? Why drive me to a road I hate walking.....But I'll travel great depths to think like you, feel like you, believe like you, love like you, hurt like you, because after all this you are still whole. You no longer have me, but you still have your sanity. ~ DK

WORDS/WHO I AM

words...they follow us around connecting cities and streets
they wedge themselves into our minds and weave our dreams
they fall out of big mouths and hurt the ones that hold our hands
they dance along store heads screaming out demands
 they're emblazoned on the cotton wrapped on our chest
 poster boards written out by fragile hands to do our best
they filter in and out of empty space taunting our ears
we falter to their meanings  to conquer our fears
words ...they stomp on our hearts and burn our nerves
kill what you're thinking and bring to life what you deserve
they blanket the pages of our journals kissing the tip of your pen
they sit up right on doors telling us to knock before we come in
well your words have crawled into the inside of my soul
and burned a hole through everything i could ever hold
i hate the words that have, in the end, described who i am
but these words do not know what i am or who i am ~DK

The Art of Pain

Diamond King Photography

in a world where pain exist 
only in our mind 
we travel great lengths 
in order to find

the portal between 
reality ....and...dream

in a place where pleasure
can sometimes reside
we venture to secluded
castles only to hide

our  inner souls
so strong ...yet... so cold

but you met me here with
your pain and your pleasure
directed me to heights
I could never measure. ~ DK

What is Photography?

What is Photography?

Photography is the Y in sky, the D in Dream it's the leaf falling from a tree, its the green on a leaf
its the tug and pull from the crowd cheering your name...it's breathing, it's motion, it's a rain drop splattering against concrete! It's a child's cry, a lover's laugh. It's the snap ...click...and pop when I capture with a single press from my index finger. Zoom...I See you exposed and real and now tangible forever...Now we'll always be tied together. What is photography? Photography, I allow you to see what I see...how I see it....ssshhh ....hold your breath....is it time yet
photography is life........so live and hopefully

someone will capture it! ~ DK  

YOUR HAND OVER YOUR MY HEART

PLACE YOUR HAND OVER MY HEART
TELL ME WHAT YOU FEEL
THE BEATING IS RAPID
AND THE ENERGY IS HARD TO KILL
SLIDE YOUR FINGERS DOWN MY LEGS
DONT STOP TILL I SAY
I WANT YOUR FLESH ON MY FLESH
EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY
SIP FROM THE SAME GLASS I DRINK FROM
AND PRETEND THAT YOU'RE TOUCHING
MY LIPS
LET THE HEAT FROM YOUR MOUTH
MELT THE ICEBERGS BEFORE THEY REACH MY
SHIP
WRAP ME IN YOUR ARMS TILL
I'M THE ONLY THING YOU'RE BREATHING IN
CRY AND SLEEP ON ME
TILL THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE IN OUR SKIN
TASTE THE MANY FLAVORS OF MY SOUL
SO THAT YOU KNOW ME IN THE DARK
SO AUTOMATICALLY YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL
WHENEVER YOU PLACE YOUR HAND OVER MY HEART. ~ DK


Beautiful Lies

I couldn't see the path or hear the song
cuz in your arms was where I belonged


I swam through rivers and ran up hills
but no eyes or arms were stopping my will


You were golden like treasure, you're love was like a diamond...forever


I fell victim for words, words like "always"
words like "sexy" words like "kryptonite" words like "crazy"


I came to you like a spell, but not drunken........much sober
I'm smart I'm stronger
but why have you affected my world, you're such a stranger


I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Your thought, my thought
Your beat, my beat
I'll steal for you, bill for you
die for you, kill for you


Does that make me a fool
cuz you're beautiful lies 
sounded better than the 
ugly truth


Cuz your beautiful lies said 
I'd always be with you
because your beautiful lies 
showed me being a mother, 
and you being a father
your beautiful lies told me I'd
have a daughter


Your beautiful lies fed me 
sunsets and long walks on
the beach
Your beautiful lies held me 
captive for 3 whole months and 
never did I think "Girl, where's 
your lie detector. Girl, I know you 
know better."


But in a world where there's 
so much evil and not enough love
Sometimes the sound of a beautiful
lie is better than the reality of the
ugly truth...I will never be with you. DK






  

Through Me

 I Can Feel Him Shining Right Through Me
Like Sunlight And Glitter
And I'm Shining So Bright
That I'm Blinding The Lights
I Can Feel Love Seeping From
My Finger Tips Dripping
Heartache To The Bloody
Concrete That Has Paved The
Way Of My Future And My
Forever Days

I Can Feel Him Bursting Right Through Me
Like A Shooting  Star
Across A Blank Sky
His Finger Tips Trace My Name
Below The Dense Line
I Call Forever Days
His Days And I Love The
Feeling Of Him Through Me. DK

Asleep again!!

www.diamondkingphotography.com

HERE I AM 
ASLEEP AGAIN BUT SOMEHOW MY DREAMS 
ARE BLACK AND THROWN TO THE WIND


YOU'D THINK FOR
A SOCIETY THAT'S SIX FEET UNDER HALF THE TIME
WE'D OPEN OUR EYES AND DRAW THE BLINDS


HERE I AM 
ASLEEP ONCE MORE I HAVE TONS TO DO
BUT STILL I SNORE


YOU'D THINK FOR
A SOCIETY FULL OF CEMETERIES AND
DEAD SKIN
THAT WE'D STOP PRETENDING WE'RE
ALREADY IN OUR COFFINS


HERE I AM
ASLEEP AGAIN AND NOW MY BLANKETS
ARE CINDERS AND I DON'T 
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED


I'VE BEEN BURNING IN MY SHEETS FOR 
FAR TOO LONG
IT'S TIME FOR ME TO STOP 
RESTING AND LIVE ON


AWAKE, AWAKE
IN THE DEAD 
OF THE NIGHT
MY EYE LIDS ARE HEAVY
BUT THE DROWSINESS
I MUST FIGHT
I TEAR FROM THE 
FLAMES ON MY BED
WHEN ARE WE GONNA 
WAKE UP THE LIVING DEAD?
I SLEEP TOO MUCH! 
THERE I SAID IT OUT LOUD
I'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO SLEEP
WHEN I'M DEAD UNDERGROUND! DK

Tired of you trying to fix me

I don't need tape or screws to keep me together
I'm not bound to fall apart in bad weather
for so long you were the bandage on my skinned knee
but now you're the one thing that's hurting me
keep in mind that my clocks been ticking right
but all of a sudden it's an hour faster tonight
I'm not rusting or bleeding;
listen......I'm still breathing
Take my flaws like their my soul
they're with me wherever I go
You've never said it out loud
But it doesn't have to be spoken
Don't try to fix me; I'm not broken!~ DK

I AM

 I am Sovereignty
                          I am the calm before the storm
                          I am the wind before the hurricane
                          starts to form.
                          I am a mural.
                          A vivid picture for you to see...
                          I am passion and extreme intensity
                          I am a blossom                            
                          the finest one you will ever pick
                          I am sugary sweet like the
                          ice cream you love to lick.
                          I am a paradox
                          constantly cancelling out my beliefs
                          with each weapon that is thrown at
                          my feet
                          I am couture
                          from formal to chic
                          doesn't really matter what day of
                          the week
                          I am lyrical
                          rhyming words with
                          the pulse of my vein
                          Trying hard to express my world
                          without going insane
                          I am creative
                          I throw color on black and white
                          it's my ingenious way, I try to fight
                          I am autonomous
                          and nothing you say or do
                          will force me back into that cage
                          I am the war

                          I will bring the rage
                          I am skin and sun and sex
                          and all those other forbidden "S"
                          words!
                          I am pleasure. I am pain!
                          I am the dark clouds that bring the
                          rain!
                          I am!!!!!!  ~ DK




                   

Lust?

Lust? It's everywhere! It's on my fingertips, on my toes, the tip of my nose. Lust is in the little pockets of air that separate us. It's in my laughter, your remarks. It's on your clothes, on my clothes. Lust stretches
across hot summer nights....it's the sweat on the crease of my neck...Daydreams in the middle of the hour. Champagne at the twilight of the evening. It's skin on skin contact, even when it's done accidentally. It's exhaustion after a nice run, it's light-headedness when you've caught me by surprise. Lust is your lips and my eyes tracing them as you speak. Lust is my shadow and your reflection sneaking off together in the middle of the day. Lust is running only to have you catch me. Lust is the walls separating our breaths but not separating the energy we feel. Lust is yesterday and today. Lust is you and me! Teach me how to turn that lust into something more meaningful! ~ DK    

Your heartbeat
                       beats right through me
                        strong like a song
                        fierce ready to pierce
                        my ear on your chest
                        your heartbeat puts
                        me to rest
                        rapid like fire
                        beautiful desire
                        i take in your life tune
                        the frequency heals my
                        wounds
Your heartbeat
                       beats right through me
                       pounding and sounding
                       the alarm in my arms
                       my lips on your chest
                       your heartbeat makes
                       me confess.  DK

The Beginning of Art

A Skeptic Way Up!

shadows 

i see them

lingering

on walls &

dancing on ceilings

they stop 

me

in my tracks

sometimes

leaving me

in awe

of their exact

reflection

but dark resemblance! 

~DK
