A mild dusk of harboured souls Crimsons rise above the tide One’s soul set free, never to abide Alone amongst the worshippers A lonely cry amongst his side Time awaits for all to see A lover a torture, a soulless bride A noise, no one else can hear A feeling, no one else can bare For the art of love No one must fear
2
Away with Life A formed sarcastic grin To tell a tale of mighty nights tales Of growing grief and grim The light is growing dim, a stranger within Growing thin, to subside the sin Alert, awaken from hot dewy otherworldly nights Is love just a blissful trance Glance, as we dance to lives moving stance In remembrance let us take a chance in this newfound land Your soul will flounder, your heart enhance Take my hand in this newfound land Desperate and dry Waiting to fly, soar and die But at least be willing to try Till the everlasting cries of goodbye A smile can walk you miles Through strange lands and times This mediocre town with its anonymous frown Has a ringing of madness Like the ringing in a madman’s head To bed, to bread, to bred, to dead
3
Beating pulse The beating pulse runs on, Speeds forth to it’s death The soul clenches in a body of softness Till its destiny comes to it’s last breath The harsh wind crushes the delicate bones Starrey eyed moistened flesh A hand reached out to it’s laughing enemy Wherer they are taking you, you cant see Lonliness gripped it’s might As a body gave into it’s fright On that welcomed night
4
Dark in form Giant monsters ride Along the lonely tide In their sights, their wanting They must subside Cold, hard surface, blank Only blood to keep you warm Image in nights mind, A wondering takes its form Absence old, a forgotten feeling forebodes Riding the waves Till thrown to ravage serpents Night fears my visitation Cold sweats gasp inhalation, Surface soft, memories old, welcoming incubation Dignity sold, lovers grow cold Turn to insulation Livid born, shown the score A different way once more Beast of thoughts running till drawn near Grabbed ones eyes Giving into the enemies sneer Time is shallow be wary of your path Second chances are a fool’s game Precious breath, don’t be scorned As a timeless world awaits you there To the one they say who’s horned
5
Deceit What devious land are street Hides love and leaves it to retreat? With the brambles that form beneath our feet We land, we weep, it fuels itself on deceit Awaken yourself to the monsters grin To battle the torture and pain within A glorious reason for us to pray Living through deceit night and day
6
Freedom Butterfly I was a butterfly that flew over the seas I was a butterfly that flew over the hills I was the yellow butterfly that needed no thrills I was the butterfly that landed on your flower I was the butterfly you caged in your tower I am the butterfly that you set free I am the free butterfly and no one loves me I became domesticated to your love I became a part of your words I was the butterfly that shattered yours swords Your fingertips burned my wings I listened to your heart Felt kisses with stings
7
Garden of Solitary Take my woes from this garden of solitary Here I lay lifeless in form Body of sulpher, mind in disarray From this earth I was born Only to be forlorn Hard, cold, stiff Devil’s eyes dancing thrill full In nights dark, pleasures delight Not a sound, not a movement, not a frightful sight On this weary night To but taste your last breath of life, Take my limp lifeless hand and dance me to the end Tis you, tis you, my lost lonely friend Meet me in the garden Where forbidden forms lay Yet do not be tempted They are only beautiful Whilst on display They disintegrate, diminish, deform Like shrewd, rabid dogs On a revengeful tempers storm 8
In this cave, our bones do slave Shield the eyes from blinding light Indigos dream spirits first flight We will take the night and not hover Or hide in darkness delight Becoming naked, bare To the cursed on we fear Walking on shards of glass Crushing, flesh burning, consciousness Ideals turning From hot to cold, youth to old Wetness forms over the soft flesh Like a blanket of guilt Tilted head, youthful poise Blood to be ravaged Soul destroyed To old to stay To young to go In this cave Our bones do slave
9
Pleasuring sting To lace each fingertip Upon each ember of my skin To trace each fibre, withering within Your fingertips burn, searching, craving For that pleasuring sting For that look within
Powers Beyond I know I have powers beyond my control I know I have love deep within my soul Each step I take I shall be proud and strong Each life I live shall be loud and long
10
Your fate stands before you Into, through and beyond time we seer Never knowing what lies ahead So on forth with fear Is there a master plan for each and everyone? Will we be the masters of our own destinies? Or be left to burn out, like the fading sun? Are the pulling tides and roaring wind A passionate cry that powers on with the steady course You hoist your masts to journey through To reach your final destination And whisper in gasped breath, only a few What awaits you there? Is it what you wanted? Is it what you fore sought? Was time kind to you on this earth, before you went? Out weather, withered souls hang baring reality to innocents Smothered with no illusions, just a stark cold bare reality Save us from our minds Can we humans really expect to understand what we’ve been told What was thrown to us, to deal with. Death Blasted from our playful situation of dreams and play Of living in the now, not knowing what lies ahead That’s the master plan for us, is to be dead 11
Remorse The dull sun in its most fearful error In all its youth, so full of terror Bound and blinded by negative forces Do we stand with any remorse? The corps, soft, rotten, soft earth beneath its bed Where it now lays, and rests its head Its heart pounding, still with life To rest from all this struggle and strife The raven black and purple, blue Makes its way down trough and true A kiss goodnight for all to see That nobody I know, ever really knew me I never sought for all to see Who I be, who I be
12
Sailing Mist To capture every moment It’s like a sailing mist This life has yet to be fulfilled Not clenched up like a fist Amongst us are the spirits Of those who have seen it’s all Some are there to catch us Some to break the fall Is the answer realization A looking glass for our minds Is a deeper anticipation That holds us in a clasp And keeps us in binds
13
Streetlight The streetlight brings the fog into it’s true form Rare and gentle, clastrophobic and mystical. It dances out of the dark corners Like a child lost in play We shall bring the hunter down from her isolated wiew We shall walk on shadows prey And all time shall renew Scattered dreams lay around Sacampered feet trod with memories found
14
The snake rider The snake rider, soft and porcelain Wretched, smooth in a rocky journey Ethereal essence, gentle in form Whimsical, yet reaps with melancholy In dreams state you brought me fourth Alive in screams, awaken from magical scenes A deep systematic journey, a longing of liberty A masterful contribute to all you have left behind you The dream awaits before you Let it seep out, the wound moist and soft In time hardening, shell shall seal And break the ever weaving spell Thorough, through, a deep wanting But let it be Your rembrants are just a solid gaze
15
Time is a chamber Life is just a mere thought Of which our spirit often sought In battleship our forefathers fought Time is a chamber And once in the mind of conciousness diminishes Our freedom we must find Battle the daily grind
16
Transformation Excluding the protruding choice of choices Dancing mad to saints voices Wise men once said, “don’t raise the dead” Unfinished rituals droned to our heads Wet blooded souls, nailed to our beds Stained sheets of ghost’s treasures Red as devils sky Ocean’s waves cleansed the earth Of humans poison potions Tortured thoughts, drown you emotions
17
Veiled, Dark, Settled A veil of woman, dark and settled Cradled in the comfort of infancy Show me signs of eternity Show me the longing of charms The boat has sailed it’s storms A calm dead sea searches you loneliness Like a lonely rock all alone A stranger walks into the misty land Yet you still search for your lost companion That soul which filled your hand The gulls screech as in mourning for your love Alone on the shores you can taste the salt But not for more tears no more Blind no more, afraid no more A veiled woman settled, as though to hide from the night A glimmering light throes shadows on sandy dunes Feet clamper laughter aloud What is lost returns to those in time Always to late, always are mine
18
Webbed To encapsulate the raving mad heartbeat Like a beating of a shallow drum Constant driving force Take me to the one Webbed in your desire Of conquership you aspire You crawl to me on hoofed claw With your love you say you feel so raw
19
Wild Whispers Wild whispers of solid breath Dreams take flight, wait for me yet Sea bearers charms Feel warm around my cold, damp arms. A fury stands between my love and time Memory a blessed curse Run further to the edge A stranger awaits there Looking beyond the sea of time The void filled with moments thrilled Colours abound, stars light the navy sky All around A moist kiss, a momentary bliss, Music brings me there To a time when I used to care How your hair wraps your face And dries your tears I time things of magical force will replace Even if it takes years
