Tribal Conflict

6 billion strong are we
and as restless as the sea
We cannot turn left, nor to
the right..but that we're
engaged in petty fight
Oh, anthropologist unearth
those bones
Can thou find the orgin of
these soulful moans?
Are we the relics of a bad
tempered species whose DNA
infuse this theses?
Dig deeper and deeper into
our primordial past and see
if our wars will eternally
last
Then, come die with us, lay
down in the dust
This tribal conflict is between
greed and lust~

PROFUSION

Angels bearin’ moonbeams, barely beamin’ down
mesmerized my eyes so I might see
Dazzled in amazement, Star_dulled by her crown
yet all she said was, “Yes, we came in piece.”
Soothed by sole_her energy, tightly tied to gaze
within till her illusion filled with haze
Sang her song as if harmin’, she …had a harmony sound
like profusion power, only proud and louder

(CHORUS)
Profusion----!
Empowered to raise the wild
alienated angel she
figment of a fantasy
cosmic sound of energy
like a woman inside a child*
appear up here
* (Implies smarter than expected; Reverses pregnant mother concept)

FOReign to this region, League of FOUR in time
Journeys FOR the oddest odyssey
FORward to the reason it’s metaPHORced in rhyme
Wit beFORe the witness trods with she
Alliteration is all_it_rates
A_literal assonance made
A little bit of what’s in her head
Should surely show as she said
A victim of sanity’s vanity
She smiles at some similar sounds
A person_which_takes_one more simile
Personification abounds

(CHORUS)
Profusion!----
Empowered to raise the wild
alienated angel she
figment of a fantasy
cosmic sound of energy
like a woman inside a child
appear up here
Appear up, hear? A peer, up here

She don’t wanna be a means of mere amusement
Just another thing to say-ee-yeah
She’s the dawn to a new breed of sheer illusion
Like the challenge in her way

About this poem:
These are lyrics I wrote to one of my original songs I performed with my previous rock band. The words personify one of my diverse styles of prose, because it incorporates an overly abundant/excessive (profuse) amount of poetic elements bombarded into each line. (See also "Enchanting View" for similar Profuse style; See my Profile for Illustations of both compostions, under "Photos". Thanks for reading : )

A New Life (for Emily)

The sodden leaves lie rusting on the ground
Decay - a promise of new life in the spring
The last of the summer swallows headed south
The morning rhime heralding winter's fearful chill

New life dawns within the womb of you
Her dreams and hopes and life yet to fulfil
To draw a breath and bring the world to sight
Bring comfort on the long, cold, lonely nights

The storms of life and all that loving brings
Sweet pleasures like swallows on the wing
When headed off to seek the warmer climes
To change our lives and bring on better times

dreamland

you hang with me
through life, on a travel with no end
so are you with me so take my hand
the day befor never come back agin
so we dear friend are you with me to the end
so take my hand

think to wake up to take you in my arms
and love that only we two can
did you take my hand
what we only dreamed about before
is not before but now I tell you
So take my hand to travel to a country
We call it our dreamland two

My Muse

I crossed the bridge of sanity
I stood there, feeling invincible
At the crossroads, eternity one side
The other leading to liberty

Sympathy I had not asked for
Nor was I terrified at all
For I carried the sword of lost illusions
With it I could ignite lightning

As I peered through my telescope
I could see the ocean in the distance
And was wonderstruck by the vision
It seemed the sea was on fire

You could see the gleam in the sky
As if reflected by flawless mirrors
So bright that the sun was dulled
Hazy around the edges and losing clarity

How long I stood there I have no idea
I had to shake myself to awaken
My mind had somehow gone numb
It was intuitive that I chose straight on

While I still had illumination I camped
Sleeping beneath the starry sky
Trying to count the infinite stars
Seeing the dancing flame of my fire

In my sleep I could fantasize
About the thrill of being immortal
Although I knew it was delusional
And the feeling was evanescence

As I awoke I felt alive and serene
Even though I was faced by a strange man
Who appeared to be translucent
It mattered not, I felt totally fearless

I wondered if this was my muse
Sent here somehow to heal me
To ease the cyclone of spectrum
And finally give me closure

A conversation with my beloved

Oer' the clouds so high
through the crimson sky
Terns dance and fly
playing happily towards the tide.
The ocean ebbs and flows to
to the subtle motion of the
moon glow.
My beloved appeared unto me
out of the wind swept sea
I see her walking before me
as she reaches out her hand
She said unto me "Come my beloved
tis time to leave for this world
you chose to be is not suited for thee.
Aye' but to consider there may be just one
I have yet to see.
My beloved what is it that I am doing wrong?
why do many not consider my song?
What tune must I sing to impress
those in a dress?
She said unto me "It may not be the song
or the message that your audience
thinks is so wrong.
It could be your intentions are misleading,
noble as they are, you convey a message of
bitterness so far.
Perhaps you should listen to your own advice
you are so quick to give.
Many may not share your vision but they are free
to make their own decision so let it go and let live.
Aye' a point noted indeed so with that I
shall leave things be to a more worthy
note to achieve.

A secret

She swept into that little room,
As if she glided so.
Her grace and elegance a boon,
Venus herself did sew.

Oh long I ponder'd and fair I thought,
Upon her disposition.
And then I realised alas,
She was squatting on the toilet pis'sin'

Vampire

“Vampire”

There’s a lady hanging around in my abattoir,
I met her at some, snooty, local discotheque.
The red liquid spurts from her jugular,
when my fangs puncture her tender neck.

CHANGE TO BLACK

The following is yet another one of my lyrics that I wrote years ago.

“Change to black”

(verse 1)
I can’t see where we’re headin’,
don’t want to know where we’ve been.
I see the skies,
changing in your eyes.
The heaven’s begin to thunder,
as angels start to weep.
No, I can’t help, but, I wonder,
if it was something in my sleep.

(chorus)
The hatred that spreads around,
makes a world that’s loveless.
And hearts that are destitute and slack,
will shrivel up and change to black.

(verse 2)
The earth starts to shake,
as hell’s dominions laugh.
My body burns as it begins to quake,
and your love is something I'll never have.
Sometimes I have to ask my self,
why the worlds screams at me.
I doubt I’ll ever know the answer,
because I’m the only one here!

(chorus)
The hatred that spreads around,
makes a world that’s loveless.
And hearts that are destitute and slack,
will shrivel up and change to black.


(Finished…..for now, may add more at another time.)

CHIMERA

And here is yet another one of my lyrics from the past. I hope you all enjoy, or at least some of you do.

CHIMERA

(verse 1)
I’m scared to go to sleep,
so, I fight to stay awake.
But, I know the sandman will eventually win,
and my eyes will become heavy like a zeppelin.
Until that time comes around,
I’ll play him for the fool.
I can’t explain why I’m terrified,
the words aren’t taught in school.

(chorus)
I’m trapped in a scream dream,
and serenity is coming up fast.
Things aren’t quite what they seem,
and the calm won’t last.
Now, I”m floating on a lake,
with the eternal crystal snake.

(verse 2)
My skin turns as white as coke,
and my blood scorches my veins.
The walls are closing in all around me,
and the snowflakes burn through to my soul.
There’s an exit somewhere, but, I can’t see,
how do I get out of this hellhole?
Will you help me find my way,
or, have you already closed the doorway?

(chorus)
I’m trapped in a scream dream,
and serenity is coming up fast.
Things aren’t quite what they seem,
and the calm won’t last.
Now, I”m floating on a lake,
with the eternal crystal snake.

(verse 3)
I put my feet on the cold tile,
a floor that’s as old as the dead.
I pass out and choke,
you think it’s a joke.
I’m gambling for my life, against the grim reaper,
but, I’ve got the aces up my sleeves.
Now, I’m walking in the valley,
between the living and the dead.

(chorus)
I’m trapped in a scream dream,
and serenity is coming up fast.
Things aren’t quite what they seem,
and the calm won’t last.
Now, I”m floating on a lake,
with the eternal crystal snake.
