Just as the Earth had given up hope The Moon came waltzing in. He took her hand and guided her lane And steered her clear from sin. “Darling don’t make me throw you a rope, “Even though you know I will. “This world can drive anyone insane “But yours is a special skill.” And he stayed and showed her how to cope Encouraging her to leap. “Your destiny is more than the pain “And your beauty you must keep.” And he stayed and showed her the Earth’s scope For his orbit kept him there. They knew that the world had much to gain From this formidable pair. And then just before they could elope The Sun finally broke free. “Now’s the time for destiny to reign “And there have always been three.” But now this is a slippery slope When the three become The One. The Sun will set and the Moon will wane But the Earth is never done.

Moon Song
I walk into the Graveyard of Dreams Of shattered hearts and those throttled screams, Away from where the sunlight gleams; Where the dead things lie. And as I pass the long centuries My soul remembers the deadened breeze, This body that’s on this life’s lease, Lets out a shrill cry. She reads the memoirs of ancient pain The same souls that have left the same stain, The suns that set and moons that wane, And she asks me why. And I walk towards the ready grave The tombstone marked with a moon and wave, All that I had I always gave, But dead things will die. I lift him up and bury my love With one last look at heaven above, All that I had was not enough, Though, at least I try. And with one last glance I walk away Although my body bids me to stay, My soul’s seen too many a day, And She breathes a sigh. For She knows True Love will not leave weak Those with the courage and will to seek, Those with the strength to climb Its peak, And See with Its eye. And I know that the Graveyard of Dreams Is vital to stitch my endless seams, It provides my supporting beams; Let the dead things die.

Dead Things
...And in the Grand Birthing Room As your soul chooses its lane They only speak of glory, Not of the anger or pain. They paint such lovely pictures Of your songs that they will sing, Not breathing a word of loss, Or the hurt that Man will bring. And that one choice is all yours: How are you going to live life? Unimportant, unwanted? Holed up away from the strife? Do you march with guns blazing? Do you toe the cowards’ line? Will you give it all of you? Will you sit ,and cry, and whine? Will you forget Destiny As you rip your soul with Love? Will you remember the Light That sent you down from Above? Do you beg for redemption? Will you forge a brighter day? Will you build heaven’s kingdom? Do you bring a better way? For, in the Grand Birthing Room Each one of us has a plan Granted by the Great Cosmos To achieve all that we can. Its completion lies in us ‘All are Architects of Fate’, And in the Grand Birthing Room We’re all the same measure of Great. And then we arrived on Earth With the curse of Human-Born. We were alone and tribe-less We felt disowned and forlorn. And we screamed and wept with fear, Solitarily confined. It takes each of us some time To truly learn and unwind. Now Time has reached our doorstep After we learned and unwound. Us Human-Born learned fast how To suffer without a sound. Which begs me to ask, oh Man Is not to suffer, the goal? Then rip my heart open now, Put a void into my soul. For to suffer and to love Where Human souls intertwine Is the reason why I chose This treacherous path of mine...
