sounds of
one lamb bleating
then the mothers calls
carried upon
a swirling breeze
lifting a spirit
such peace
playing in
nature's song

pure as
the driven snow
sweet the birds singing
enchanting heavenly bliss
with angel feelings
butterflies dancing
on currents
upon swirling
warm winds
rising then falling

standing alone
dog at my side
staring across
windswept mountains
such a beautiful vision
blooms an oasis
fills up in thoughts
patting him
on the head

i kneel down
warmly picking
a handful
of daisies
smiling golden treasures
making a ring
inside magically
this mind

love is
all around us
breathing whispers
silently upon
the heart
one worshiping soul
of regal beauty
crowning emotions

jewels when
i look into
your eyes
to see
the deep ocean
our dreams
erasing one
thousand nightmares
finding you
my best mate

to eternity
we will walk
together hand
in hand
through the gates
heaven a lifetime
with a dream
on a mixed cauldron
of vast pleasure
magic spells
out you

Would you show me how you sleep so sweetly
Or could you teach me how not to dream
Mine have been deliberately consuming
Considerately they've been killing me
With reoccurring nightmares
Of creaking cemetery gates
The silent screams among the undead
As they lay me down within my grave
My heart beats restlessly inside of panic
Anticipating this hell I've never met
But it promised me that it missed me
Through all the nights I never slept
Its fingers grip tightly around my throat
The other hand covers my eyes
It hated that I believed in God
And all of His softly unspoken lies
Then I awake within a deeper panic
I still feel the impressions of its hands
Lord how many nights must I be pulled under
Before your heavens will take me back

Hark ! In the distance, a begrudging sneer,
A prying eye spies my falling tear,
Crashing on the page, this verse to smear,
If only they knew my plight !

In this wretched space so lost and alone,
Soft heart transformend to hardened stone,
A seeping wound much deeper than bone,
Draining my will to fight !

My head bent low with dolor profound,
Scolding tears to stain the ground,
Nature my second love, gathers around,
I could kiss a tree this night !

For now, love's future destitute,
Sympathetic gestures I will refute,
Thoughts of her, this pain dilute,
Pitch darkness with a sprinkle of bright !

Just take me away to a tearful place,
'Neath a willow to share her weeping space,
Whose drooping limbs will me encase,
And hide my grief from sight !

A loveless mess, I fall distraught,
No lesson learned, yet harshly taught,
For her I'd once again get caught,
I hold not grudge nor spite !

I know I'll quell this relentless pain,
Self pity to hold no earthly gain,
My self belief I pray regain,
God please ! Send me some respite !

In the cold light of day, love's price I must pay,
As she bows to her handsome new master,
Now his easy lay, our future betray,
While it lies in ruin and disaster.

Her untrusting word, like the edge of a sword,
From my heart draws a trickle of blood,
My speech became slurred, my vision all blurred,
As I fall to my knees in the mud.

'Mid the lines of this verse, an invisible hearse,
To bury the remains of my sorrow,
In sad tears immersed, harm can't be reversed,
To pay for her sins, I now borrow.

My memory long dead, banished from her head,
As she stares at the ceiling above 'er,
Thoughts of pleasure instead, as bare she lies spread,
'Neath the gyrating hips of her lover.

But someday yet, there'll be haunting regret,
As their sins they'll be forced to expel,
With red-hot sweat, to repay Satan's debt,
For eternity in the furnace of Hell !

I want you both to know
I'd hit an all time low
I felt like it was time for me to go
I didnt want to go on with the show

I stayed for you
Because I love you
I never wanted to hurt you
I live for the two of you

Trying to keep us together
Never did I think it would be so tough
Things got a bit rough
Everyone was in a huff
We had all had enough

Tears rained down my face
Then I saw the tears rolling down your face
I wished I could have taken his place
I'm sorry he left in such a haste

I wanted to be all you need
Today I see it just can't be
I'm on bended knee
Pleading please don't go

You cried for you Dad
And your sisters feeling blue
I don't know what to do
I just can't fill Daddy's shoes

I watch my baby being emotionally abused
I beg her leave him
Come
Move in With me
He's of No use
She yells
Mom
I don't know what to do
You see I learned this from you
My son says
Yes this he agrees
Now I'm really feeling blue
I stayed with Daddy
For the two of you
I knew he and I were through
I thought it better to pretend
Then to let it all end

You see mommy stayed
For the two of you
Because I love you
It came back to bite me
Now I'm thinking my kids
Don't like me

What a beautiful spring day,
I just had to go out and play I stumbled upon a field of wild flowers.
Flowers bring much delight to me.No two flowers are alike
So many scents coming my way, they tickle and make my nose twitch all day
What a beautiful day I could stand in this field forever and a day
Their colors so brite I wonder if you can see them at night ?
The different shades of pink,purple and blue make me feel new
By the end of the day I wound up with a beautiful bouquet !
Those beautiful flowers made my day!

Candle light the dark side of the moon
I have kept this part of me from you
Decorate my heart just like a grave
As I bury this love deep inside and softly away
Without sovereignty I lay silenced and still in your womb
Shoveling dirt on my face until my bodies consumed
A rare flower in bloom you carefully placed in my hands
I gave it myself with my life, but you took it right back
Its the scent of a roses beauty that I cannot explain
Or why Im losing my soul its the same with the scent of the rain
Even beneath the cold earth my shadow has no place to hide
Just as your smile still burns the back of my eyes

Only the lonely fine last nights
tears in the palm of their hands..

Only the lonely pour their
souls out to walls that
cannot hear

Only the lonely can see their
quivering lips in that old
cracked mirror

And only the lonely will hear
a weeping God mend their
broken heart-

Peel away the rotten apples that I sneezed out from my eyes
They will never be forgotten, but their infected by all those worms inside
The core was once the center of life, but now it has grown soft
As this baby has grown older and is no longer cute at all
Their skin is misbehaving and they leave an old fermenting smell
All the secrets they've been keeping I wonder what they would tell
As I dwell upon these memories, but there aren't any facts
Only counter intuitive directions mislead by simple acts
This apple is for my daughters and this one is for my friends
These are from my childhood memories, the ones I hoped would never end
And these are for my family here is my dear old mom and dad
I am still wishing for those moments, but they are never coming back
Now I sail away into oblivion, because there is nothing left inside
Just a little boy who loved to dream, but that part of me has also died

sinking in the maelstrom
of tumultuous thoughts
caught in the rage of storms
blizzards of gales unforgiving
as your bipolar moods
like prisms of light so blinding
grinding me so frayed
down to the core of my bones
but..
even as wasted and hopeless
I have become
it's my time to turn around
unflinching and untiring
no more giving up
I will face you head on
oh mighty and brutish shadow
oh wicked and diabolical
spirit of my past
I have had enough
it's time for me to be free
to be solo again
facing my future on my own
alone, and even if I fail
over and over again
I will not be your slave
anymore, I am so done
I will not succumb
this time
nor will I run ever again
God is my witness
I am finally free.

I will move on.
