Lonely Reaper
What a sad and lonely existence
I wish Death would come for me
Yet I know this is not possible
For I am Death, the releaser of souls
I watch human kind and envy them
Their passion and joyfulness
Their love and zest for life
And yes, even their crossing over
In my time off I sit and watch
While they are happy living
No matter how much I wish and hope
There’s no way I can join them
Sometime back in my distant past
Too far for me to remember
How did I become what I am now
Mankind’s Grim Reaper
So on I go through eternity
I cannot change my calling
So when you knock on death’s door
Spare a thought for who will aid you
I wish Death would come for me
Yet I know this is not possible
For I am Death, the releaser of souls
I watch human kind and envy them
Their passion and joyfulness
Their love and zest for life
And yes, even their crossing over
In my time off I sit and watch
While they are happy living
No matter how much I wish and hope
There’s no way I can join them
Sometime back in my distant past
Too far for me to remember
How did I become what I am now
Mankind’s Grim Reaper
So on I go through eternity
I cannot change my calling
So when you knock on death’s door
Spare a thought for who will aid you

solace
drenched in selfless deed
i tried..
but still did something wrong
i might..
i know my intentions were true
but still my feelings are deceived by you
i knew,i knew..
i held your hand for last forever
i swear..
still lost you in crowd..
though you were near...
i live in your heart its what..
i believed..
you showed i am not..
not even in your priorities...
apologies,apologies..
for loving you so much...
and thinking its fine...
for believing i am yours..
and you are mine..
in this world of no love...
no one tries..
i draw this truth...
walking in dark thousand miles...
reasons,decisions..
after days turned months...
and you dint cared..
watching in mirror i was so scared..
is that what am leaving when i am down here...
though i have nothing...
only poems to share....
i thought of a reason to show...
other side of me you did not know...
a reason to touch the sky..
a reason to be at the highest high..
no time to spare,no love to share..
just to be the one who...
when it comes to love he do not dare..

The Gargoyle
The Gargoyle, a spooky character that sits around castle walls
said to be in league with the Devil, a nondescript creature with
wings, tail and horns, which can be traced back in time to the
medieval period, were people were often afraid of their own shadow
these Daemon-like apparitions were often worshipped by
Devil worshippers who often made human sacrifices to appease
these Demons; over the years these cults have been slowly
eradicated by people who stood for law and order in the land
who wanted to stop this barbaric practice.
The Gargoyle eventually disappeared into folk-lore history.

About this poem:
This poem is really a descriptive writing, but it is a dramatic Gothic peice worthy of this poetry spot, it is self explanetary of this folk-lore character still seen on castle walls and old buildings. The gargoyle was my final poetry peice of the early 2000s.
sound of silence
Sound of silence and calm waves of sheets
Crisp as a breeze...
Not a single noise to be heard..
Just sound of silence.....
Wondered if I was the noise to be heard......
Open the window the air is crisp of winter so close.
Lay here and wonder why sound could be so silent?
;-) could it be because I'm alone....
Shhhhhhhhhh the sound is of silence
Crisp as a breeze...
Not a single noise to be heard..
Just sound of silence.....
Wondered if I was the noise to be heard......
Open the window the air is crisp of winter so close.
Lay here and wonder why sound could be so silent?
;-) could it be because I'm alone....
Shhhhhhhhhh the sound is of silence

About this poem:
Just skipping in and out of here, just to share an early poetry write of the morning.
Terror of the Night!
Terror of the Night!
Tis the blackness of the night and it creeps into
the shadow of one's mind
Like an ever black flowing tide, overwhelming taking control
The noise of stillness is shattered by cries of manic terror
Be not a prisoner of this night of fright like me!
How did he know that I was alone, Did you tell him?
I sleep walk through the fiery stones of hell
I tremble at his very sight, for eyes of demon green
show the evil that he is
His twisted arm matches the twisted web of his being
This troubled night will never end, the music of the dead doth play, it steps upon ones toes
Beware he seekith you, this demon reaches out to
spread his terror to your very bones
He flyith out from the depths, the recesses of the darkest places of the earth, the monster of the mind
Put my soul at rest in the bed of content, end the signs of madness in the air
Where art thou prince of peace, entwined in the darkness of the night, in the wasteland of wicked thoughts?
He seekith revenge for trouble times, his touch whispers from the great beyond
Touch not this demon’s eyes with yours, for he will eat your being and steal your very soul!
The color purple comes to mind, it’s eerie etches scratch within, spiders climb it spinning web
Run, Run they are after you, poison bite take care, they are everywhere
Thoughts of growing old, and all alone, except for this monster in my mind
This master of the walking dead, awaits us all, especially waits for you
Could it be the end of time?
Darkness comes upon us all!
Dark is the Poet all alone

About this poem:
The darkness of being all alone!The Mysterious Crystal Ball
Is this glass sphere a Gothic masterpiece of time
or a mere ball of glass with no significance at all
The Crystal Ball to a scorceror or fortune teller
is an amazing camera obscurer window to the future.
When people of all walks of life, want to know what
their fortune will be, they are told by the user of this
medium, be it true or false, relies mainly on luck or chance.
Back in the days of the great Harry Houdini, this innocent
Crystal Ball, was used for a darker side, to swindle people
out of their life savings, when used by evil pretenders in seances
but these criminals were exposed by the master illusionist
himself, Harry Houdini, which goes to prove there is an evil
purpose for everything.

About this poem:
This piece of poetry is more a narrative of history, 2nd last poem I wrote of my original collection in the 2000sThe Dark Side!
The Dark Side!
Foreboding with No Escape!
Tis Hell, this darkness of the mind
Swirling deep within, a terror lies there deep
It has no bars of prison, but how does one escape this madness that dost creep?
A sickness of the darkness, a plague, it makes a lonely living grave
Blackness like a glue overtakes control
A stickiness of gloom, a dastardly never ending tomb
It moans it’s part of me, the evils of the seeking soul
The sickness, the very thought, the loneliness of growing old
Creatures of the night abound, such dread of being here alone
The crust of life is very thin, darkness comes, crushes and overcomes
Howls of fear pierce the night but they cannot escape this cavern of the mind
The mind beasts will not set one free
They have no piety, there’s no one to share,
this lonely heart of me!
They seed the mind with loneliness, share not, never give you peace and never let you go
Tis like a place in hell, a place you do not want to know!
You are captured, a shadowy figment of the mind
entrapped in a tomb deep within the darkness far below and … all alone!

About this poem:
Lonely, Tis naught but the black hole of the mind!Beware the monster of loneliness is on the prawl!
B. C. Lovejoy!
I'm sick of the fronts,
You haven't changed!
Who's the fool?
Who's been played?
Cast you out & your selfish ways!
I'm through with you,
Your absence of grace!
It's because of you,
I've lost my faith,
In a woman who's true,
& not a waste!
You've lost me forever,
I did not lose you,
I'll always remember,
Your selfish abuse!
I found myself,
While with you,
As you lost us both,
& gave yourself the boot!
It's easy to tell intentions,
As I sit with the blues,
As you run freely in your innocence,
You need serious HELP!
You can't show any love,
'Cause you have NO love,
For anyone but YOURSELF!
I'll never forgive & I'll never forget,
The shit that you did,
& the ways that I felt!
All of those kisses,
All of those words,
Which made your promises!
All of that,
Time,
Money,
Energy,
& love!
All a hideous huge lie,
Told by you,
To get what you want!
ILMFAO!
I see through,
Well now this is what you get,
This is how I do,
An evil karma cast out just for you,
An enemy with a deep hatred,
A doll used for voodoo!
What goes around comes around,
I believe it!
So screw you!
For what's it's worth,
It was fun with her,
Then my heart began to wither,
When together,
Had to let you go 'cause I won't share you,
I shouldn't have to,
I know I can do better! ! !

About this poem:
Everyone can agree liars and fakes are no good. People who almost enjoy seeing you in agony! To them! I rise above.--Imperfection--
(crs);
Our bodies are susceptible to sickness & decay.
Your forced to run away when I know you want to stay.
Your own evil longing's temp you everyday,
They pull you down, lead you on & drag you away,
They say to go with them & in the end you'll be okay.
Get to the drug,
as the drug gets into you,
I'm an ugly bug,
rip the insect into two,
infect the love with the sick blood,
& tell me you want to be,
next to my side,
holding me tightly.
Drown to the sound of us moaning fiercely,
I pry.
Fire play.
We lay together & drift away forever...
(crs)
Watch as the sun plunges down around us,
answer the question,
don't lie,
don't fuss,
moments of truth like these hurt intensely,
internally weak with intent to speak,
formally known as a strong being,
my body is bleeding,
clenching my heart,
dreading madly...
...that you'll neglect...
...& abandon me.

About this poem:
This is 1 of the first songs I ever wrote with a band called LameXname, which my brother and I formed. This song is still performed today only under the band name Age Of Reason Is Now!
Undertow
---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----" Undertow"
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
