Stuck inside cold glass Stands a slave to love, present and past You know it all All that he could find Was the walls to a place he didn't belong to That he could not mind Now he spirals through the spaces Many hearts within his suitcase Go on Empty and tired Body and the soul Cast down among the frozen trees Blood spattered among the leaves Crack a window, bring the cold If hearts are made of glass All that he is left with is the ash A fallen, broken king with shattered wings And no words left to sing What is empty was once a home

Cold Glass

Stuck inside cold glass Stands a slave to love, present and past You know it all All that he could find Was the walls to a place he didn't belong to That he could not mind Now he spirals through the spaces Many hearts within his suitcase Go on Empty and tired Body and the soul Cast down among the frozen trees Blood spattered among the leaves Crack a window, bring the cold If hearts are made of glass All that he is left with is the ash A fallen, broken king with shattered wings And no words left to sing What is empty was once a home

*Deep down below Beneath the saline waves There the Ghost Liners lay in rest Submerged within their rust The remnants of a forgotten age Spirit ships adorn the history page Now claimed by that treacherous flood The Liners lay intertwined with the mud The souls they carried were ferried long ago The shell of the ship remains Ripped asunder and buried deep Somewhere off the abyssal plains Betrayed by the very path they tread No trace left of their honoured dead Save for "treasures" scattered across the depths A divers trophy from the past*

The Ghost Liners

*Deep down below Beneath the saline waves There the Ghost Liners lay in rest Submerged within their rust The remnants of a forgotten age Spirit ships adorn the history page Now claimed by that treacherous flood The Liners lay intertwined with the mud The souls they carried were ferried long ago The shell of the ship remains Ripped asunder and buried deep Somewhere off the abyssal plains Betrayed by the very path they tread No trace left of their honoured dead Save for "treasures" scattered across the depths A divers trophy from the past*

**When you stumble and it hurts to stand When your troubled heart clouds your mind When the world and its anger bears down on you Rest, for in time the stinging in your knees will pass Breathe, for trouble yields to purifying calm Listen, to the cool night air That beautiful stillness will always bring you back again**

**There are few things colder than the sting of iron Splitting the skin For charismatic words can be sharp as daggers Handle them without care and they become shrapnel So speak softly And if someone's words succeed in making you bleed Don't worry, just be and breathe Let the passing of time make you bolder growing older Never let the hate from others leave you colder Forget purity, be as iron! Such strange things as metal grow stronger as they change So staunch a defence That when the poison-tipped arrows of bitter words fly And your enemies are poised to leave you bloodless in the snow You need not fear even the strongest killing blow Nor the angry shock within your bones So speak softly and stand For as iron you reside within the very land Once fuelled by fury and the fear of those who would usurp us Now risen up with potential and purpose**

*Is it not curious How when the world showers down upon us Some call it rain While others call it wrath? How a simple split-second shift of perception Throws us from the beaten path? While some would recoil from a lowly bee sting Others would rejoice for it welcomes the Spring Fellow traveler Though the world is not your oyster Do not let that fact confine yourself to a cloister Within your mind Fears are so easy to discover But fear is as fragile as it is frequent For with time it takes to travel Life brings opportunity For the darkness to unravel So seize it And from your mind's deep dark chasm of caution You will hover For it is within the hearts of all travellers The will to face everything and recover*

Take heed fellow traveler... For inside the mind of every man There is a saboteur Wreaking havoc in your head Filling you with dread This saboteur is silent Only you can hear its voice Pounding in your senses With every single choice Do not lock yourself away With a scheming saboteur Or place yourself within its path Or attempt to cure it of its wrath You may think to follow it a while That selfish saboteur A word of caution: With every mile, room, and tile The saboteur holds your very soul on trial While you suffer from the stress Of trying to be your best The saboteur is the one who stirs Giving you no rest However... If you still struggle to seek it out Or make this picture clearer To learn the face of a saboteur You need only find a mirror

*Lover, If I could explain the state I am in, my existence itself has become a sin I know I could never remain here, while I am locked inside my own worst fear Heaven itself is lost to me, for it is something which I could never believe Yet you must not fear, must not turn to flee! I do not fear the goodnight, I have found more comfort there, than I have ever found in the light.*
