My mind is a blank page raging war on its self
But somewhere around me they whisper
I can hear them screaming
I see their voices  
To sounds of my aberration echoing
On scratched vellum

You know not how I feel in the twilight
From the shadows I sense a presence
Vivacity stolen
A turn I dare not make
I focus
In the dimness of a candles flicker
I blink

They say that night has a glow
Yet I could only taste fire from the music
Lurid on my lips
The screaming continued  
Eyes reddened in the devils darkness
This burden before me
Vacant letters fill my page  

The ghosts in my shadows hide as the
Twilight returns
Breath inhaled to a musical silence
Rapturous dawn to a new beginning

A page has been turned

These eyes filled with a sadness
To a dawn of day to come
Another wasted moment
A life not on the run

So should I smile to the sunrise
Smile a new day in
Just smile another morning
A new day can begin

In the brightness of the sun  
My darkness comes complete
This heart as dead as stone  
The reaper needs his feed  

So should I smile to the sunrise
Smile a new day in
Just smile another morning
A new day can begin

Dark glasses hide my worry
A lifeless look inside
This failure in my life all good
My thresh is past its hold

So should I smile to the sunrise
Smile a new day in
Just smile another morning
A new day can begin

Not soon I wish my time away
I hate the way I is
Another doom off if I try
That's how the way it is
That's how the way it is

So I should smile upon the sunrise
Smile the whole day in
Just smile another chance in life
My new day can begin

At last the warmth of the day comes
Longer
Spring is in the air
My pen returns the welcome

Beams of life perform their due
On wet cold earth
Soon we'll have the green
Soon we'll have the new
Welcome to the spring
We have been waiting

Breath not seen to a relief
Clothing loose and friendly
People now talk where once they ran for
Heat
Strains of music as children fill our gardens
Eden in full swing
Spring is winning

Oh the beauty of these times
Brings a tear to my cheek
Memories of a loss
Rains showers to my thoughts
Let the new take me over
Let the dancing begin
Welcome in the dawning
Welcome in the spring

My night time nightmare came true
I visited a place where the strange
Is the norm
The sun takes its blame in allowing these leeches
Of the earth to creep into our shadows
And last night they sought my eyes  

This room that they beckoned me
Felt so cold
In every way  
Icy chills blasting my heart
Searching my warmth
Quenching their thirst
And then

They sit
These men of the dark
Waiting
Staring
Mumbling nothings
It felt very cold

Their faces so ashen
So ghostly
A look not from my world
Yet here I sat amongst them
This was my place
This was my time

I too have joined
My darkness feels good
Only my blood redden eyes
Give away any life from my being
A life I once remember
Yet am now banished to the
Graveyard shift
And memories begin the fade
Away

It hurts me to be here
A soul in broken
This life a sadness
Please hear me
Hear me cry

Help me rise above
Lift me high
Listen as
The end has spun
My voice shout's a silence  

Let me scream
Let me in
Cry me out
To a silent roar
Till I beat no ....more
