I dreamt,
The lonliest, saddest dream,
While I slept,
My heart ran out on me,
It left, it seems,
For greener pastures,
My chest distressed,
The rest a disaster,
In my darkest hour,
With so little light,
I struggle to make it
through one more night,
As I tilt the bottle,
Memories flash,
I swallow the past
as I empty the flask,
I skip to a time,
A wonderful scene,
When there was more
than just "lonely" and "me",
When there was "happy",
And there was "joy",
A time I had "peace",
Like when I was a boy,
Before all the"hurt",
Before "anger" and "pain",
Before "insanity"
came to my brain,
When there was "light",
In this darkest of worlds,
Before there was"love",
Before the "girl"....

Once was a man who loved with all of his heart
But it was because of that love that made him more dark
A darkness unlike any night and void of its depth
Then like a cocoon of baby spiders it crept all through his flesh
For the world was his passion so bright and so green
But another man had different dreams that created the machine
And although accomplishment was to his hearts content
He gave it to idled hands unaware of consequence
They began exploiting the weak as they took what they pleased
The world became frightful, poor, and diseased
One mans hymn of praise became another mans curse
As thy flesh fed the machine and his blood quenched its thirst
While the street became flooded from tears of the damned
The gutters overfilled with uprisings and demands
But the ones that were in power refused to be overthrown
So the weak destroyed the machine and thus everyones home
For the hands that built it knew nothing of the dream
And the ones who controlled it cared for nothing it conceived
The head and hands need a mediator and it must be thy heart
Or the world will bare witness to a civilization torn apart

It's a black and twisted sun today,
Super cold, subzero rays,
Hurt me in a thousand ways,
Like microscopic stabbing pains,
From razor sharp electric blades,
Feeling like I'm froze in place,
My entire body becoming solid,
One leg breaks from walking on it,
Shattered to a million shards,
And as I fall I break an arm,
The frozen blood then reached my heart,
It tried to pump and fell apart,
My spine just simply snaps in half,
As every bone my body has,
buckles creaks and fissure cracks,
And pieces fly like broken glass,
Too many to add with fractal math,
On this day I watched my demise,
The picture framed inside my mind,
Staring blankly dead inside,
Ice crystal eyes see the black sun rise...

Moments of pure beauty,
Torture madly with you gone,
I badly wish to forget,
But sadly still hold on,
To ignore you is to feel empty,
Hollow and plain,
Like a few notes are missing
from the music that's playing,
When thoughts of you
intrude my brain,
It leaves me in
Indescribable pain,
Longing for something
I'll never see again...

Rivers of tears running
On the faded wool
Clutched on my shivering
Pale body, weakening
Ingrained with a malady
With no cure
Yet the reassuring hope
And lovely thought
Of my serene childhood
While's yet refuses to part
On the body that turns to dust
Like twisted limbs of my memories
Trying to reach and remold
The foundation of my youth
And as the counsel is cast
Upon the shores of eternity
While the fortress of my will
Is fading into oblivion
The anguish of DEATH escapes
One more time as I
Witness the birth of a new morn


If only to breath one more day..

About this poem:
I have never felt so close to my destiny and as the battle scores me away, I will not go without a fight.

she wails to your soul,
the comming of pain,
the black fairy appears,
voice of the undead in the darkness,
waiking through my mind,
pierceing my inner most shell,
bringing the death of you,
pure heart turns black,
i slowly open my eyes,
the nightmare begins,
let me see white,
my soul covers my heart in white,
to stop the rot,
saving it in times of darkness,
the shield of protection,
in black its bound to roam this earth.
forever more,
my soul passes the graveyard of life,
passing through fairyland,
colours a blur,
my heart begins to beat,
searching with the eyes of the undead,
my body numb with pain,
a dusting of light appears,
angel rays appear through the cracks,
darkhorse detects the vampires grave,
leaches sucking whats left,
crossing the undead hell a zombie,
i feel my pulse,
theres hope,
darkhorse rears his front legs,
slowly standing on his feet,
the mood changes,
the banshee heads straight to hell,
with the coachman of death on her tail,
rattling passed two ivory coloured headless,
horses,
leading the carriage straight to hell,
dumping the darkness into a bottomless pit,
locked away in the dungeons,
no more to see light,
i found you love,
dark becomes light,
colours everwhere,
my eyes wide open,
my hands outstretched,
raising them high to the heavens,
no more the fool,
the banshee buried deep,
in protection of my heart,
in the hope she wails no more,
far away a distant thought,
some say she lives in the pain ,
not heavens light ,
barred to the darkness,
were she never sleeps

My shadow has been shedding skin
Ive been thinking it smells again
Clear out my insides and follow through
I owe myself a new device to choose
The super nova of a velvet sun
My oh my it seems the darkness won
It's been stalking me with every step I take
I don't need to hear your whispers for every choice I make
There is no more hopeless, this is what it is
Ive been treading on that fault line now its sink or swim
Then take a deep breath and dive into the undertow
Hell you've followed me for so long its time to throw some blows
Up down ~ turning me inside out
Is hope just delightful thinking or something that wears me down
So please dear angels, will you pull me back in
Ive struggled enough inside this current
now its time to make hell my b*tch

Theres a monster that lives inside of my closet
and he looks just like me
He's awakened by the silence of darkness
because he cannot sleep
He has electric eyes
and they are filled with so many of his dreams
But along with inspiration they fall away into a great deep nothing
Sometimes I can hear him whispering scary things
from underneath my bed
But at times I just think he's alone and he just wants a friend
Other times I go into the bathroom
and I repeat his name
Then I turn the light back on just to see his face again
But what I see coming through in the mirror is a forgotten life
Then I think maybe he's not that scary he just wears a disguise
And when I close the door I see his silhouette at the end of the hall
I close my eyes and realize there is no one at all
Then the silence is abruptly broken by a telephone ring
I pick it up to say hello, but I can only hear screams
But I know now that I'm not being haunted
this is all just in my head
A mixture of over thinking about the shit I just want to forget

Old lichen mottled headstones
Mark the graves of women and men,
Whose genocide sparked Ireland's
Freedom flame,
In their pallid hands
were shovels,
No schooling for a pen,
Fuelled by starving bellies
bow in shame.
Poverty stricken darkened days
of cruel and rampant blight,
The stench of rotten spuds
rose from the clay,
Cold families around a bleak turf fire
another hungry night,
Gaunt faces like potatoes
in decay.
A million sailed from homeland shores
Like wild absconding slaves,
In agony they fled to find relief,
And countless died on coffin ships
Then laid in watery graves,
Consumed by vile disease
And woeful grief.
But memory fades as time erodes
And youth won't recollect,
An hegemonic crown
That gorged on Irish grain,
Our ancestors the starving dead
Oppressed to genuflect,
Interred beneath cold seething clods,
Forgotten not their pain !

When my lungs no more inhale God's air,
My eyes blind to the soaring bird,
Parched lips have said their final prayer,
All parting grief by me unheard.

Pale hands no longer touch your face,
Limp arms no life to pull you close,
Cold feet can't walk you to the place,
Where we in love, used lie engrossed.

This world so blessed with beauties fair,
How oft' they soaked right through my skin,
Mankind itself made me despair,
And wrenched my gut so deep within.

Burn my remains from this rat race,
Inhumanity plagues this earthly crust,
Gaze on my cinders in disgrace,
Then burn them too until grey dust.

Delete me from this world so curt,
From lifes atrocities I move on,
Erase me from the pain and hurt,
Now burn my dust 'till completely gone !
