Through my life I’ve gathered stones
I wear them round my neck
The burden of weight gets heavier
When my shadow reflects
I’m not complaining
I don’t shed tears
For I strung those stones throughout the years
Thinking how when I was young
Collecting stones just for fun
But how I’ve grown to realise
The wrong choices and words can chastise
I look around but cannot see
Other people just like me
You see
Everyone must have the same
Some more some less but we all have shame
I wait for the rain to erode them away
But doing so they seem to stay
So I guess someday maybe one day
I’ll loose a few
But not all of them
For I deserve to wear my stones
Reminding me of wrongful tones
So here we are with past regrets
Little stones that never forget

Chains that bind and bite into the weathered skin
Beneath the throne of Askona the Queen of sin
Her rise to the calling as old Egypt fell
Rivers of crimson run from hell
As gods of time play their hands
What once was golden now lay ******
Slaves to the rhythm of pounding drums
Build her a world demised of fun
Blackened are the souls beating away
For the Queen of hell rules this day
With sharpened serpents at her will
They bite and stab at the heart so ill
Foolish eyes betrayed by lust
And promises of gold now just dust
How the land weeps away
Beneath the shadows of yesterday

When asked should a gentleman
Ever eat eggs and ham
Upon the back of a baby lamb
I guess the answer is no

And should my lace be untied
What a hoot when a fall precedes pride
When all that is required
Is a quick knot to be shired

So as you can see with me
All is not sweet heavenly
When pondering thoughts
Of mindless dribble

Is everything okay tonight
When
Love and hate can’t see eye to eye so right
And she cries out for love
And in the stillness of time
Where nothing seems fine
The shadows play on her mind

And then

Whispers of forgotten dreams play
Like some old memory machine
And the call of a lost heart echoes

Inside

Desperation holds tight and beneath the dull evening light
Her tears sting like never before
And then

Her hand now reaches out to the call of the wild shout
And memories fade into the grey night air

I love her skin soft like petals of the sweetest rose
Her tears like rain drops bathing the flower
How I want to touch her more
But fear my hatred will once more
Raise the monster that now lives
Inside this parasite
I cannot turn away
Excited by her naked form
Beaded sweat begins to form
Like little drops of morning dew
Upon her skin turning to
A grey dull sunless sky
Now my mind cannot sate
The hunger that now anticipates
Her skin on mine

Hatred spreads with gilded ease
When those around decide to tease
For wrath and pain will be the call
And death will follow all
Into the abyss of hell
To live eternal in fire so bright
Watch how the flames punish
The fools just right
Forevermore unto me they will owe everything

Dancing round screaming out
Is this the heaven they thought right
Greed and power brought them here
Lies and fear blind eyes once so bright
Now the demons dance in plain sight

No more prayers or forgive me please
You choose this path with so much ease
Wanted everything so sour
Time to pay in the burning tower

Maggot’s writhe in thighs so soft
Devour the heart now beating slow
Bathed in blood of foolish dreams
Here is your nightmare as it seems

Scattered stones upon the ground
I watch them as they land
Did fate determine the way they roll
Or gravity had the pull

They make a pattern I can see
Confusion has me gripped
What if one was too roll some more
And let that pattern slip

Like life I guess you could say
Are we little stones
We change our minds and the flow
Held here by goodness knows

My mind’s all a quandary now
Over thinking little stones
The way they just lay so still
Doing nothing that will show

I go back inside to think about
Why I even thought
Those little stones could even solve
My thoughts now seeping out

In the cold air of a winters morn
She stood at the docks waiting for him to come home
As the rain kissed her face her makeup misplaced
And skin now becoming pale
In the distance she could see the ship sailing with ease
Her heart begins to gather time

Tears start to flow mixed with the cold
And her cheeks feel the sting of her pride

Gathered around amongst the crowd
The sounds of many hearts cry
For soon they’ll be near
The men who once feared
The war that took them away

Like moths to a flame
She knew that one day
The love of her soul would he would claim

And now the rain falls so hard
Without any remorse
As the ship starts to berth once more

With tissues in hand she wipes away the tears and the cold
His cold hands grip the rail as he stands
Looking for the love now waiting for him on the dock
Together they shall be
In the house by the sea
No more wars to take him away

The window was open just a bit
As the cool breeze danced around the half opened curtains
Faint noises from crickets broke the silence
Of a peaceful night
The moon now awake shines its silver light
Causing shadows that seem to dance upon the  walls
Jasmine blooms filled the air with sweet dreams
As memories played out like an old film passed
Stillness hung heavy

Sleeping through the quiet show not knowing
How alive the room could be
With all its nocturnal habits parading around

Wind chimes dance erratically twirling on old twine that has seen better days just a rusty nail holds them from falling into the parched earth

How many memories have they played their songs to unashamed at not always being appreciated but once in a while a little smile would reflect upon them
With silent steps the moon moves slow lighting up yet another window

So begins another show another memory untold just locked into the nighttime play maybe when sleep is reluctant to sway a soul this could be something to hold
True to a heart

Who cries for the little children
When pain and hurt fall upon
The little hearts of purest love
From the hands of the cruel and sick

Who cries for the little children
Locked up and fed a fist
Thrown around the floor like dust
No meals or drink no more

Who cries for the little children
When their voices are so mute
The only thing they know right now
Is life must be extinct

So let them fall into the arms
Of hearts that truly love
In sleep forever they rest now
And tears shall fall no more

Upon bracken soaked hills tears did flow
As memories glide away
The moors they hold a deep silent love
Of hearts now lost to above

How the winds and rain carry on through
The ghosts of yesterday now roam
Betwixt the hollow ground
And shadows of fate now gone

Tis here that silence did fall
And the hand of death slain them all
For the devil he did roam the moors
Beneath the moonlight's shadow

Oh lost spirits cry and wail
Bring us to the resting gate
So we can say our goodbyes
Amongst the wind swept
Fears and lies

The outline of her body as the sheet clings
Every contour of her womanhood
Makes angels sing
For perfection she has become
And a burning desire for me
Just watching her from this point
I want to always see

I want to crawl under that sheet
To feel her warmth inside
To caress her ******* and skin so soft
To taste her honey hive
**** she is so perfect
I love her evermore
I hope that this lust we have
Will never fall to the floor

Breathing in and out so low
Her lips so ruby red
Now I'll close the door right now
And climb into her bed

Cry not for me on this day of mourn
For angels shall rejoice to a summers morn
When voices carry a heart felt song
Upon the breeze of life

Patchouli serenade's the mind
With vanilla mixed in time
And cheeks that sting with tears
Each one a drop for all the years

Upon the grassy meadows we ran
To tunes of larks and whispers of love
The sun kissing our necks so raw
And smiles that did tore
Through the tears of joyous love

But greener is the grass this day
As still and quiet now I lay
And mop your brow as sadness holds
Onto your love strong and bold

Look up into a sky and see
Each little cloud could be
A piece of history of we
The picture book of life
For you my loving caring wife

Winters born in frosted love
Bitter frost nips at the throat of lust
Breath upon a cheek new cold
Of his precious love the one he holds

Gone are the bluebells of summer past
And bees hide in hives until time at last
Can edge away the frosty king
And thrushes wait to chirp and sing

But cold hands cannot hold tight
And love did go upon the night
As snowflakes fell in shadows drawn
Her heart did stop he forlorn
And how the silver moon did weep
For the emptiness did greet

And when the snow and winter pass
The rose of passion shall at last
Grow in the space where she now lays
On warmer brighter summer days

In the night I hide under the bed
A nightmare for your head
Don't cry or scream aloud
Let me wrap you
In a hatred world
Lust for me

Years of love pass by on each night and star so bright
The darkest sky the silver moon
There is no time when I'm with you
With hatred in a minute blown away by a cold night breeze
Tender is the love that brings me to my knees
How I hold you close to feel your love inside
My exquisite self destruction of hope and pride
You rescue me and lead me away from all the harm I feel
My strength my rod to wipe away the tears
Love grows love dies but in you I know
That together we shall walk this earth
As one we reap and sow.
So hold onto my hand so strong and never let it go
Because my love I have for you
Forever in my soul

I fell deep down into myself
And discovered an emptiness
Of love and understanding
How shallow a man I have become
For self importance is the skin I wear
And my crown of tear stained lies
Sit proud upon my head so empty
Yet I walk with confidence
Of a person learned
If only wasn't a lesson I lost

Darkest soul take my hand ride into the night I beg
For far away I need to be under the blood red moon I'll see
That upon the hill is where my love now lay
With silver blade and life ebbing away
For wrong I was with his heart so true
I did stab him for a lie that grew
Within his lips it feel upon
My ears and heart a poisoned song
Played out through day and night
And now I fear this deadly sight
Ride oh shadow of death's wish now
Let me stop the life gone sour
For my breast the knife should hang
Not in the ***** of my love now stained
And as we rode faster than the night
The dark soul looked at my eyes so wide
And stopped his steed and set me down
Beside the love that I uncrowned

Waste away the days of life
Drink till the puke stinks of time
That's passed by with every drop
How you lived and parted non stop

The nights are the darkest and dreams don't come
Only nightmares live inside the space
Chasing memories down a path
That leads into the deepest dark

Sweat and tears adorn your skin
Wishing how you lived no sin
But oh how fruitful your ***** became
Seed of hatred now remain

So don't fight your true path in life
You've had the fun now pay the price
Writhe in stupor hurt and pain
As the dark hand slays away

One more drink perhaps a few
Go on wasted soul you know it's you
Now slip away for no one cares
Walking down hell's blacked stairs

Banging on the door, can't take this no more, as I watch you fall to the ground.

And broken hearts no longer sing
And tears she cries no longer sting
The years fly by and the harder it seems
To get up and be everything

She holds her broken heart
Along with the smashed promise
That he would never again
Or so it seems

Laying on the floor whispers behind the door
Tell all is not what it seems
She begs

And broken hearts no longer sing
And tears she cries no longer sting
The years fly by and the harder it seems
To get up and be everything

And now the light dims
Nights closing in
And another slam awaits
In the cold night air

Wind falls the quiet sound
Only heartbeats can be found
Pulsating louder in my mind
As try I might but cannot find

The key to open a chest so rare
Is to bequeath a soul mate to share
The special moment when the light exudes
All around and love consumes

If one cannot have the elusive prize
And blind takes the sight of loving eyes
Then broken times lay ahead
And peace shall be found
Within your bed
