A day ends as it began
Dark, cold....filled to the brim with the unknown
Like wisdom, she calls out
she knows my name
searching for something worth devouring.
Her gaze cannot be met
calmly she speaks sweetly
to the foolish so neatly until discreetly
her appetite is wet
A bright sun drowns out her cries
But she will return
She always comes back
in vain we prepare for her attack
Though her gaze sends trembling down my spine
her presence brings rest for my eyes
awakening my mind to fears
only dreamed about.
Hello Nyx
I can't play tonight
for I pray tonight
soon it will be bright
and for a short period of time
you return to Styx
at least for now....

Slowly, softly she twirls
throughout the world
simply fading away.
Like the running water
like an ignited flame
she captures the eyes
before she withers away.
The weight of a cloud
as thick as the blood
that is a drop in the cup of water.
She is in the mouth
she fills the lungs
slowing killing
as she dances in the light.
Sometimes in white
or maybe shades of gray
she plays until blown away.
She finds her life
in the embers of her passion
but even her source of life
slowly burns away.
Dancing, ever dancing
how she is romancing
how she is entrancing!
...Until breath she cannot endure
Until smoke she is no more
She is but a puff
and simply fades away.

I'm only one person.
Only one voice,
one mind,
one set of ribs that cages my
one heart.
I break
as one.
Not two,
not three.
I have one pair of legs,
that move one step at a time
to the many places
this one man desires to travel.
There is one attempt
at this one life
many years,
one man.
Only one,
not two,
or three.
Many choices,
many consequences
this one man can fall into.
One chance
to tell my one friend
how many hurts
hit my one heart.
One thousand enemies
bear down
but I put my trust
in the One God.
His one death
is my chance.
Not one,
or two,
but one million chances.
Wipe my one thousand tears
one more time

Twinkle twinkle little star...
how I wonder what you are...
Why so many?
Looking down on me?
Even my greatest joy,
is my worst enemy.
Always watching,
judging brightly
They plot to **** me
...nightly...
Evil shadows
lurk from their rays.
The scary strangers
asking to come out and play
I close my eyes
and dream of pain.
Thank god for the clouds
And all the rain
saturating me
in this muddy pit of shame
sinking, I am sinking
in the punishment that is your game
At least the rain,
from the clouds of course
covers the stars
of the evil they do force...

How love strikes down so deep
The object, like a ship goes down
It’s captain, her words so sweet
My heart. A ship. A stolen crown
Lighter than the air surrounding
The captain, giving wings to ship
Yet piercing my heart, confounding
Slowly sinking, drip, drip, drip
Unbeknownst, my heartstrings she plays
Searching, she finds not one for her own
Yet found have I, all the days
My heart I give, her skipping stone
The rolling, rushing sea of thought
A tempestuous grave I dig
My mind, false conclusions brought
My heart, sent back to the brig
And so this captain, set for sail
Upon the unforgiving winds of change
My ship aground, put back by nail
A bulls-eye placed, her firing range
Walking now, alone it seems
For fear of a changing tide
I awake from a half remembered dream
Someday, I will have my bride.
