M/Columbia, Missouri I prefer writing lyrics. Lyrics and poetry can crossover.
To be understood or stand alone It’s your choice Spending much of your life trying to fit in To be one of the crowd It can take a lifetime to understand that most of the crowd doesn’t have an original thought in their heads They’re afraid to break out of their self made prisons See how the blind lead each other Where life for them is a performance The chains of conformity, bind you…and blind you An illusion of unanimity It strangles individual thoughts and Inhibits and destroys creativity They fall prey to their own consumption Their future is a bottleneck of despair Imagine, to live your life only to criticize

Tin Soldiers
On a sea of violet, flecks of gold Watching the stars eternal dance Riding waves, highs and lows There is no solace, within the expanse There is joy in sadness And love in contempt Heading towards madness A most precious gift Watching as sanity, fades in fire Through every beautiful desperate desire Drink the emptiness, beyond the skies A glimpse into, clarity’s demise Follow me/come with me, I know the way I see beauty in everything Trust me/believe in me, I won’t betray Even as reality frays

Spellbound
Watch the battle evolve While hell sends its worst Demons thrashing As hatred fills the earth I am not the enemy And will not obey While life loses meaning We endure the slow crawl Of existence Faith and defiance Make a strange alliance Yet you’re ridiculed and torn apart Struggling for peace Self hatred, we know it well In a sea of mediocrity We live through encoded messages While sleeping in a gilded cage

Entropy
My reckless nature Cost me the stars A blade wrapped in silk Left nothing but scars Bad decisions We’ve all had a few They fade away When I look at you Candlelight whispers Curve of your face The world dissolves When we embrace /No one can save me but you A song of seduction The sound of your voice Every desperate desire No longer bound by choice I look in your eyes My memory breaks I want you tonight My very existence aches Still bound by a curse Our love is in vain Its judgement day I’m still in chains /No one can save me but you

Star Crossed Lovers
Goodbye… Never say goodbye “I will leave forever” With these words you lie Fear… Crawling in your mind You are back again I will always find Hide… Run away and hide The game is on rewind Chosen ones who’ve died Cry… How you love to cry Forever be tormented Never say goodbye Darkness/rules this place Scavenger/of distaste I/can see your face You/will be displaced Goodbye… Never say goodbye You are my endeavor You will not defy Fear… Growing in your mind You are back forever Never hard to find Hide… Run away and hide The game can be unkind For the ones denied Cry… Must you always cry You think I am demented But now you must comply Darkness/rules this place Scavenger/of distaste You/will be erased Forever/be disgraced It’s a game of hide and seek Custom-made for the meek Listen to these words I speak As I feast upon the weak

Hide and Seek
I knew you before we met Remember me, I never left Innocent eyes, of an old soul Peaceful placidity, quiet control Hidden turmoil, deep within Curve of your face, a wistful grin Insight abounds, grasping for truth Wrapped in wisdom, beyond your youth A flower blooms, iridescent glow Miles apart, must let you go Journey’s begun, memories remain Can’t turn back the clock, or stop the rain

Bittersweet
Born to run, lived to fly Mandarin sun, heats the sky Joy and laughter, fill the air A special angel, without a care Your life was fleeting, filled with fight Desolate dreams, blanket the night Home is empty, memories remain Nothing left but unyielding pain We’ll meet again at Rainbow Bridge Above the clouds at the garden’s edge Whispering winds call you home You’ll never have to be alone Reunited again we start to fly Across sparkling stars that kiss the sky Vibrant landscapes, streets glimmer with gold We’ll live forever, never grow old

Resurrection
Look into my eyes They do not lie I see through your disguise Stay with the ones That fulfill your needs Acceptance in your mind Peel back the layers Smell the regret Indulgence is your friend You’ll never know me So search somewhere else Another cause to defend Ignorance is bliss You must be content A simple mind to measure Your confidence false Self-pity your game I spit on the things you treasure

Spiritual Failure
Solitude will find you between the dark and the light Loneliness surrounds you Love will find you one of these nights We can pick up the pieces Start it all again Bittersweet memories Same as back then Promise of forever, always a lie Words like needles, pierce the sky Hollow wishes flood the ground Stripped of innocence , never to be found Silent confessions, wrapped in guilt Seeds of distrust, destroyed what we built December ends, cold winds moan I’m miles away, far from home
