adventure
must we call for adventure when death lingers / a fear casting a shadow over our every action / so you take action to fight the shadows

a familiar tune
A voice is heard from far away, / beyond my concious fears. / It titters on a solemn song

after the fire settles
I don't want a love like this / stuck inside this mess / if Heaven casts me out

all in the five seconds it took for you to reach me
my hands froze as i waited for you / under a dark and waning moon / yet nothing i could say, nothing i could do

a man stood in silence
*A man stood in silence for a day / to see if God would come, / but as the hours passed away

a monkey's paw(for a lost lover)
a mind is cold and lying in a shallow pool / of tears some eyes have yet to shed / and a sky reflects too many memories

a thought on life
You're wallwork. A painted face on the mural we call life. You exist for no purpose, yet you live for reasons unbeknownst to all but the scholars who breathe, speak, and dream life itself. / Who are we to tell tales of God? Of the soul residing in the hearth of our bodies, gradually decaying as time endlessly presses onward, following the path that even our ancestors couldn't conquer. / What do we truly know of Heaven and Hell but the stories of those who have travelled along the brink of life and death, visiting those realms of angels and demons; uninvited but wholly welcome if their stay were for eternity. Only to be brought back by a capricious wind, calling their wayward spirit home.
