Black soul, if I left would you miss me as I go.

Would you turn bright to light my way home

Cast my shadow away in the night.

Off to see my brother, though he wont know me

has no eyes to see, long gone from the light.

In a coffin out of sight, deep below where we all go.

If a wish could bring you home it would of been done long ago.

I'll walk this road with or without a light to get back out.

It wasnt love that let you down nor will it now.
Just miss my brother today.

Woden comes, lighting through clouds, won’t be long now.

Time to pay your sums, ragnarok has begun.

I seen it in the night through fates eye, steel on bone

Valkyries on shadow wind, mounts a blaze light the sky

Deadly sharp, war-painted and marked

Shields and ravens, hammers and horror

Raising prayers on the winds of dust and bone.

Come to carry you home, not before this battle is done.

Fetid axe with poison deep, here to steal souls not while they Sleep.

ready to reap what we have sown on this field of blood and bone
If you read my writing and notice I go from dark to light its because I do not want to be trapped in any one emotion. Yesterday's wars are today's words.

I met her in the air

And we seemed to shine

All the expectation all the smile and hope

Left me hollow and hurtin slow.

Whiskey and women have more in common than they know

Both fire to flame and smooth to slow

One will burn you and the other will steal your soul.

Tired of the pain left in my heart each time they go.

And they go they always go I may never know .. why

Sipping my coffee today I seen a humming bird out my window pane. It buzzed, zipped and zoomed. on the hunt for its pleasure and all the little treasure each flower has in bloom. It's easy to forget what makes us tic until the flowers show their hearts with nectar wetted wic.
A thought occurred right then and there, how a man's heart isnt fair. Quickly loving then not caring. With my lessons learned and heart renewed. I believe I'll seek my little pleasures and treasures in you.

Mist born wings through forests old. a light ahead like stories told turn hearts ablaze when memories fold. all that’s lost is not yet gone for the light you seek dwells at dawn. Come what may the forests song shall paint old hearts anew with flowers and honey dew. Stay not long In your honeyed state for there is life to live and things to taste. Bitter be they may, the choice is yours to go or stay. Wings of mist and birds of prey are not the only dangers in this place. So know the brook that bubbles down through cavernous mountains with rocky crowns. Fills your destiny on winds of fate. With roots so strong they are iron bound caress the rocks and all they found. Let not your troubled mind worry, for life is short and we are in a hurry to meet the roots in our graves so merry. carried across the river stix by the boatman and his boat of twix. Listen now, when you seek that golden shore. all that is lost is not yet gone, the light you seek dwells at dawn.

I wonder wonder if I’ll ever hear her voice again, or has it played to it’s end.

On my mind all the time, please someone break these chains that bind.
I see her in the clouds with the rainbows and tomorrows,
she makes orchids blush and my heart rush with the sound.

With the sound, with the sound

This fire in my heart turned to ember and then to ash.
With a whisper on the wind this blaze would start again.
Burnin down all I’ve found since then.
But my friend She didn’t stay and now the ash has blown away

So This crown of sorrow, I will wear for what might have been.

The sun asked me where have you been. Dancing with the moon one more time my friend.
Moon beams and vivid dreams carried on the winter wind.

This crown I wear till then.

Until the sunshine turns to rain and I know she feels the same.
Winter has no love for the man who’s lost his friend.
Here I go again. Like the stars she doesn’t seem very far but out of reach.... it’s a sin.
