Walking straight, going mad
rebelling fate, looking glad
feeling hate, being sad
carrying weight, hurting bad
alone a man with no
men manned
owner of nothing, but dirt
and sand
a scar a bruise, he
will stand
for a choice he had made, this
mad but simple man
in past he never coward, gave up
or even ever ran
always doing more than any man dare
think one man can
he will not falter or run
having no shield, sword or gun
yet, be with words so much
more powerful than the sun
walking still unwavering with a crooked smile, a twisted grin
defying everything that is, by what is and is not in him
holding onto guilt and shame, not free of his sin
staring in the dark abyss, situation growing most bleak and more grim
laughing as he makes his way, desperately fighting what's withinin
drenched in his darkness, dry lights of sanity are all now dim
a defiant choice that sacrificed his own sanity
so that mabe he can fight his humanity
tired of this fate, destiny and unavoidable certainty
his right fist firm with in the air
walking hysterically without a care
a man a kind so extremely extraordinary rare
in this world so unfair

When you text me on your phone
I wonder if your scared or just alone
You say your kind of shy
thats probably a lie
your most likely with
some other guy
You say you love me but I know you don't
your just saying that because you hope that I won't
when you tell me your cold and lonely yal had a fight
always ignoring me by day and texting me at night
you always seem nice to me
when you want some money
you then laugh at my jokes
then tell me there funny
you tease me saying soon
playing me like a cartoon
telling me what I want to hear
acting like you want me near
I see through you with every line
yet I still wish you would be mine
Why must I wait
why must I hate
and all for your sake
seeing what I can take
testing me
while i'm real
your just fake
I'm just a tool
a mere stepping stool
I understand that you seek happiness and he was what you sought
I was always there hinting asking but, you didn't care what I thought
Well its over now i'm threw done
you can actually laugh now you won
Its over I say over
ti'll I look over my shoulder
your there a huge weight
like a gigantic bolder
while your feeling warmer
i'm feeling colder
why can't this
just be over
while your relaxed sleeping soundly
i'm stuck with my self made hell of misery
You say your scared
that your not prepared
I want to let you go but, I can't
thats why I went on this stupidly insane rant
I'm there for you while your not for me
I wonder if thats how its supposed to be

the world it suffers as it turns to face the sun.
light and heat warms up the death and the living ones.
dark filled hearts want to kill as they turn from cops to run.
cross fire everywhere they're hit now falls their guns.
die because you will.
kill because you can.
die because you've killed.
kill because you will.
the world it suffers as it turns to face the moon.
cold dark night it's too tempting to kill more but who?
light filled hearts all of them victims and probably soon.
they'll be slayed after they finally meet their doom.

fighting the world and all its glory.
wishing for the living to tell a true story.
hoping for the dead to live once again.
living for the dying is nothing but a sin.
what is the reason for them all to live?
are they able to vouch in what they want to give?
what do they have to believe in right now?
do they believe in god and the heavens up in the clouds?
hades, hate us.we are nothing.
heaven, love us.we are something.
but what is truth? i can't tell you.
cause i don't care.what's the truth for you?
watching the world displace its future.
under the eyes of all the lost, living creatures.
burning the forests faster than we can breathe.
seeing them running in circles so helplessly.
are we so stupid to realize the truth?
why are the humans so controlling and cruel?
what we need is an omnipotent djinn.
then maybe this world can finish or even begin.
hades, hate us.we are nothing.
heaven, love us.we are something.
but what is truth? i can't tell you.
cause i don't care.what's the truth for you?
wasting the world of all its worries.
many people contributing to its fury.
sucking out the last of its living life.
sooner or later going to explode and die.
then there wouldn't be a heaven or hell.
for anyone to go to, believe in, or tell.
so do you still believe in your self now?
do you believe in god and the heavens up in the clouds?

destroy the living for the dying.
the happy people are still crying.
hearing forgiving fibbers lying.
watching forgotten people dying.
helpless as we are, we're still trying.
secret happenings they're still hiding.
darkness through blackness, it's so blinding.
gruesome thoughts, memories i'm finding.
falling into the words of the wise.
some are truth but most are lies.
broaden the mindless dumba** acting.
lucid becoming flabbergasting.
peril of asking, no contrasting.
wondering if they're knowledge fasting.
controlling actions, if not, blasting.
followers waiting, but they're basking.
lusting for nothing, so relaxing.
destroy the world and all its factions.

One that craves attention
One that creates delusions
One that seeks to play
One that hides behind a mask
One that appears brave
One that walks faceless in the dark
One that wears a thousand faces in the light
One that seek a thousand answers to its starvation
One that harbors a hunger deep within
A hollow echo ripples through the wall
Scratching the tunnel of sanity
A screaming Banshee searching for its family
Leaving behind trails of broken shards
Realizing the widening black emptiness inside
Noticing its needs to find a friend
Contemplating tactics to maneuver around dark matters
Looking for light that shines
A softness that will hold its own darkness
Crawl if it must to reach for that enlightenment
through the density of crackling unreasonable thoughts
.... just to find the filtering softness of a specific light
that will look this way .....
.... until then.... it will continue to crave longingly ...
for the P_E_A_C_E ..... that it does not have ......

Under the veil of darkness
The Scorpio Woman waits
For her revenge.
Excitement surges
Through her every fibre
As she waits in anticipation.
She is dangerous,
Intoxicating, mesmerizing.
Her eyes piercing
With hypnotic intensity -
Ever watchful.
A superficial calm outer appearance
Hides her hot inner turmoil.
Her s*xual energy
Betrays her -
Images of tender love
Invade her mind.
Soon the object of her love
Is in her arms,
He must treat her well -
Her sting is fatal.
I know we Scorpio Woman get a bad press, but I am happy being me.

About this poem:
While most people consider a Scorpio to be a venomous creature, the true power of a Scorpio lies in healing and spreading peace.
What you see is what you get with this woman! There is no pretense about Scorpio Woman!

The mist is sleeping on the water. And winter is hiding in my heart. Thorns in my eyes are slowing me down. I can't pass through to the other side. She knows I'm the one who sought her. But when we fall, we'll fall so hard. She holds a secret and won't show me how. How to break the riddle in her eyes. This is treason of the mind and soul. There's no reason why you would go. Inside the ghost of love is laughing. It mocks the footsteps where I go. It tells me nothing has been lost. It whispers, "You've seen darkness before." In time the hurting will subside. And longing is overthrown. What's left is a void that grows inside. And the echo of a failure. This is treason of the mind and soul. There's no reason why you would go. Have you ever had the feeling of a sorrow inside? Have you ever been the reason why a hope subsides? Have you ever seen the aftermath of giving up? Have we given up? Is it over? Have you given up? Is winter hiding in your heart?

She shivered while she walked
Children were laughing
Old men were people watching
She stopped to look in a store window
To look at the flaxen haired models
How beautiful they were with their
Firm young limbs and alabaster skin.
Suddenly she remembered Grandad
Softly singing "Danny Boy"
O how she loved that song
Tears welled in her azure eyes, but
Nothing mattered anymore she lamented
They are all gone the ones she loved
Soon she would be gone too.
On and on she walked in white knuckle madness
Humming to herself "Danny Boy"
Soon the turbulent water was roaring in front of her
Like a moth to a flame she was drawn
Drawn to it's dark turbid depths
Suddenly her hand reached up to her throat
She touched the necklace her kids bought her
For her last birthday-She fell to the ground
She just couldn't do it...................
She wept, and wept.

what do you know of common failure
it's like being on a ship without
a sailor
hard to imagine right
try this for hindsight
your on a good boat
it's easy to stay afloat
however beneath is water
waves of no hope
alone with you yourself
hanging by a rope
no paddle and no sails
no fish and no whales
then suddenly a ghastly , overlapping, gaping hole
its growing tearing apart your very soul
it's your ship it cracked the hole is there
a ship not of hope but, rather of despair
your ships got a leak
your future is looking bleak
the tides of doom are pouring in
hopelessness like storming into a lions din
Its like trying to shoot a hoop a million feet high
why even attempt when it streches past the sky
you don't want to sink
so you stop and think
cause your on the brink
just before you even blink
your in the water of no return
can't swim the waters hot
you start to
burn
thats the life of a common failure
a ship of despair
a heap without anchor, no more rope
a ship alone without even one sailor
waters that don't care
waters with no meaning and no hope
such is the way for all failures
the failures out there
