To cause someone such a pain was not enough
Than to choke the void with shame would conquer love
To give someone this emptiness as a gift
You would fill the box with lies and wrap it up with promises
So reach inside I just dont care
You wont find anything in there
Just a broken heart made of clay
And arteries filled with a bitter taste
I just thought I could be your friend
But your fangs were sharp in the end
What I see in your eyes is a liar
The beautiful death of my vampire
Turn on the TV to turn the silence down
Because the voices from inside they echo loud
Feeling dragged until the finger nails are all torn out
As the taste of my dying pleasure drips from your mouth
So rip my heart out through my spine
I'm sure it won't hurt as bad this time
You see Im not made from paper mache
I will not easily tear and just blow away
So you won't crumble me up again
And throw me away with the wind
My bitterness has cut a frown into your smile
The beautiful death of my vampire

About this poem:
Somewhat a big fan of the horror flicks, especially the old black and whites to the late 60's and 70's. There is certain element of creepy in a classic films that most of the new ones today lack and fail to capture---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----

Lend me your eyes so I can see
Billions of people but none for me
Random thoughts explode into fireworks
Cascading downward explains the hurt
As the embers fall I close my eyes
Twinkling downward waiting til they die
My head falls back from carrying pain
Then another shell suddenly explodes
The crowd cheers loudly would someone explain
They cheer for death as they hit the ground
Never took time to stop and look around
A bright soul twinkles down to its death
Never given the chance to love on its last breathe
Like a shell shot high deep into the night
Let my love explode I'm filled with brilliant light
I may look dark and gloomy on my outter side
But what counts most is the glow from inside
Cherish me now I'm almost out of time
Capture my light and we'll both combine
Like a cinder that fades on its journey to the ground
I want my journey with you instead of feeling down
My shell may be hard to break
I promise to make it worth your wait
Take me away from this screaming crowd
Take me with you to your highest cloud
We'll arrive I'll shine my light on you
My potential is there bet you never knew
Just take me away and ignite my fuse
The next explosion will be just for you
Burn with me babe as we fall from the sky
I'll never ask you to question why
We'll fall together through the thin night air
When we land we both wont care
The crowd will be there and they will cheer!

You living life to the fullest,
Everydays a journey, full of tests, interests
and true conquests
Invest in life!
That's what I'm gettin at
coincide wit ya habit
Think before you act
Before you get trapped
Life is full of trials
and tribulations
situations, and temptations u facing
u steady pacin
waitin for a sign...
to tell you where you are in life,
you need to wake up
and getta glimpse of what we call...
"Real-Life"
Cuz it pains me to see
a would be
could be
cuz you livin life
in a fantasy
You settin yaself up
for self-destruction
Sufferin, from your allusions,confusions,pollutions
of an illegal substance
And you steady cussin
thinkin
Everybody owes you somethin
But you got anutha thing comin
Whaattt??(You say!!)
You runnin from the law
Like you runnin from ya life
and the only thing that follows
is pain, hurt and strife
you needa wake up and see the light,
and like a bomb
let ya mind ignite
because if ya dont
ya mind will be stuck in twilight
and the end will come as fast as a
Snakebite!!!

Woke up this mornin' I could sense a change,
you left the bathroom light on.
Even before I found your note,
I knew you were gone.
Now all I have are these four walls,
to keep me company.
the night rolls in on a velvet fog,
to join me in my misery.
And i'll try as hard as I can....
To keep from cryin' myself to sleep
Wonderin' what to do
Now that i'm all alone, i've gotta face the truth
Without you, now that your gone.
I walk the streets for hours on end,
but only in the light of day.
Lost in the crowds that shuffle on by,
for a little while I feel ok.
But soon the night will roll in again,
to swallow up the day.
And join me in my misery,
and this heartache that won't go away.
And i'll try as hard as I can...
To keep from cryin' myself to sleep
Wonderin' what to do
Now that i'm all alone, i've gotta face the truth
Without you, now that your gone
Now that your gone
These nights seem a little bit longer
Now that your gone
I try so hard not to cry
Woke up this mornin' I could sense a change,
you left the bathroom light on.

New beginnings
the time of life is within our grasp
are we reaching into the end of our chapter of sacrifices
from within grows our eternal uprising of power
in our dreams we are living,
in the era of ancient renewals we are testing
faith beyond,
faith is tested
faith is proven,
faith has grown,
as faith has left
our faith has past
dreams have surrendered,
evils have been surpassed,
life is at its essential point,
intense nightmares of terrors unleashed,
theories unveiled truths set free
are we rising,
are we lasting,
are we becoming,
or are we dying to begin to overtake and inevitably to win,

Well, I went down to the marketplace,
To see what I could could find.
I saw a pretty lady,
With smiling on her mind.
She had a cart full of groceries,
And, boy, they sure looked good.
I said, "Man, those goodies sure do look good."
She said, "Dinner's ready at six, boy,
"And don't you dare be late."
I said, "How do I find your house.
"I don't know where you live."
She said, "You'll find it.
"Just look for the only house in town,
"With a red light on the porch."
Well, that should have been a warning
For anyone but me,
But big, dumb, and stupid,
That's for me.
So I searched all day for her house,
And finally found it right at six.
Yes, I walked up to the door right at six.
Ten thousand cop cars showed up at the door,
Saying, "Sir, you're under arrest
"For being with a member of
"The entertainment industry."
Well, they hauled me off to jail,
And they threw away the key,
And now Bubba is making me look pretty.
So the moral of this story,
Yes, this moral it is real,
If a pretty lady at Safeway
You should see,
Smiling and talking about
A red light on the porth,
Don't say yes, and don't say more.
Just run the other way forever more,
Cause it's a lot more trouble
Than it's worth.
Yeah, it's a lot more trouble
Than it's worth.

About this poem:
I was feeling silly one day and wrote this song, the only rap song I ever wrote. It's a humorous tale of metting someone at Safeway and being invited to dinner, with disastrous results.

Where have you been
Its been a long time
I remember back when
You gave me your time
The places we've been
The times that we've shared
It was not long ago
That you actually cared
Would you like to sit down
And take a load off your feet
Share an ice cream with me
You're so kind and so sweet
People change so why don't we
Let the past be the past
Its time we set ourselves free
Lifes short and goes by fast
Where have you been
You left with no trace
You made me so friggen mad
I wanted to squirt you with mace
Why did you do it
You just let everything go
You hurt me and knew it
Never heard a hi or hello
Is this what you need
To heal your heartbreak
To see me just bleed
To heal all your mistakes
I really think you should go
Don't want to do this again
Its time you realize your sorrow
And know that I'm not pretend!

In Memory of a young and beautiful women...
One day ago you walked this earth
Is this what life was really worth
Kind and caring
Also sharing
Thoughtlessness, with no one hearing
Electrifying and very dearing
She ask me to take her away
But my morals got in the way
Farewell my friend
I'll see you in the end.

About this poem:
She cut and slash her rists the frist times, then she took a rope and ended her life, all she wanted was out of her relationship.
My morals, single women only, but for this women I should have made an exception and took her from her hell.
My message, if you see its not right, do something about it, it will help and save a life.
The frist letters in the four sentences that are together, is her name.

Wait a minute, where did the path go,
u stepped off the trail,
for a moment now its gone.
You're lost, the woods close around you,
It'is gettn dark can it be evening already.
What was that noise that rustling sound,
that growl, its not so nice out here anymore,
perhaps u think you shouldnt have come here,
there's things in the dark,
things that wait to grab and eat you.
chorus
I've watched this world
from shadows afar,
contributed fetishes, moots
and kaerns,
despoiled justice for things i ve done,
silhouettes of zombies come.
verse
Dark glow of the new moon,
inks shadows on the street,
meandering visages slither before succumbing,
To my dark gaze, grinning happily,
Darkness blurs them now,
they walk with respect, around me how,
treading lightly fearing the rage of my howl.
repeat chorus

Falling to darkness
Where the sky turns red.
It turns into stark features.
Letting you wish you would live.
You wish you would live.
They're alive, die as I space you. That's where I seize the spell.
The devil loves the pain. Encircle victims, breath the pain.
Buried fears, weak the soul. No more to you, now you're set in stone.
Bowing at your feeds and thoughts. Cold winter freezing
solid, with your fights falling when. He hears voices say," Tall toys gone."
Fell aside with heaps of fear. Dreaded calls springs in year. One attacks
himself from them. Feel your own spirit, a spirit say Say, "Timeout in your
life." What's wrong? You're wrong. We're set in stone.
Because life isn't fair.
Because the chance abound there.
Inside, souls are searching for.
Outside, the pain can't be ignored.
All around lives are the cost.
The fight is yours, terrorized cities lost.
Your world, with permanent thoughts of hate.
With their rights, die.
