In the play of light and dark
I couldn't believe my own eyes
When the eagle soared into view
As I gazed across dark waters
And saw four mountains against
An unbreakable sky
With gleaming sun breaking through emerald boughs
And wind whispering in our ears
Light and dark stood at my side smiling
With the shadows dancing in the tall grass

As the sky laid itself to rest
We were bathed in gold, silver and crimson
While a sweet lull fell upon the shores
It was so beautiful I was afraid I would
Wake up at any moment
Looking into the void of many days past
And the brilliance of those yet to come
With the pale glow of days end
Nourishing the good buried deep in our hearts
Hope became rational.

In the play of light and dark
Fear was never an option
The stage was littered with discarded masks
No longer needed
Long since forgotten .

There are sweet forest spirits
That dwell in ancient growth
Of clovers and moss
Dimly lit under beryl canopies
Near flowing waters
They would carry these great souls
Into undying peaceful lush of
Quiet happy memories and laughter
Forgetting the hardships laid upon them by war and hatred
The emptiness in their hearts will be filled
With warmth and love
being made whole once again.
All sorrow will be unmade
Playing as children dancing in the sun
On distant shores
With an eternal breeze on forever smiling faces
Calm blissful
Infinity

I am a candle standing in the midst of a forest fire
The ashes blowing in a cold wind over an unwound clock
Exhaled in heartache from lungs that can't cry out anymore
When you slip off a step
Or walk around a corner and see a person
But can't quite make out their face
The space in between these  moments
is where my heart aches in stillness
For those too soon lost.

The dark visions in my dreams
With red eyed intent
Reaching for the skies
With their shadowy tendrils encompassing
My sleep

The light and unimaginable beauty breaking through
Music so intense it shatters your heart on repeat.
The same dream over and over
Set on a pedestal built by thieves
Taught by liars
We were all lied to.
I know that's what you heard.
I know it's part of what you felt
I hear it everywhere too.

If we are all one
I am nothing without my missing pieces
Lost letters in volumes of pages
Clawed in walls with fingernails desperately seeking egress.

Holding the book, telling the story
of everyone ever loved
Standing on a rock in the middle of oblivion
Surrounded by no one.

My words are my blades and they gleam in the sun
You will hear me and feel them by the time this is done
I never wanted it to go down this path
where ideas became darkness and love turned to wrath
I stand in the rain with my hands to the sky
I try not to cry and I just repeat "why"
These thoughts deep inside me will certainly die
If these wings are unfolded and my heart gets to fly
But I sat there just brooding and my mind became lonely
I myself am my own one and only
A loveless relation a mirror at best
A life of reflection and a beat in my chest
Then something black in my soul disappears
Shadows and ashes from the passing of years
It really didn't matter it all stayed the same
I tried but I couldn't give the feelings a name
My blades in the sun have now found a home
In my heart they will stay, no longer to roam
No longer to be wasted and fall on deaf ears
The death of my sadness,  and the rest of my fears.

I hate myself so deeply for everything I've done
I can tell you with sound mind
If it weren't for the ones that really love me
And remind me on a regular basis
This conversation would have stopped abruptly after high school.

I'm a sub being I'm a snowflake blah blah blah
Waste of time and taxpayers money
I am a scar and a stupid story that has only
Itself to blame
But here I am.
In your god ****** face.
And your mind.
And your heart.
Etched into the very day you die
With my stupid words and blahologies
And my annoying *******
You hate me?
Look at what I just said about me.

I'll probably die before you
Take solace in that
Have fun with the rest of the ****.

The chill of the twilight starting autumn creeps in

My mind has been filled with terrible sin

I fell to my knees and preyed in the dirt

The worms and the Gods will feed on my hurt

I hear all the whispers I'm feeling the fright

My call has been heard by the abominus night

I'm the void that you see when you ask from above

Mankind has now seen, and will burn from my love

I've become the darkness that looms in the sky

My wrath is upon you your people shall die

The time has come for carnal feast

I make the change from man to beast

Fangs and claws and unholy fist

Everyone's blood explodes into mist

Delicious are these broken guts

my power feeds on tender cuts

Messiahs bane at midnight hour

Lords of evil grant my power

Look up to the sky and see the moon red

now that I'm god, everyone's dead.
