I yearn to feel your soft skin
Pressed against mine
A stroke of love
As I push your golden brown hair
Back, revealing your emerald eyes
To feel the tingle
Of your ruby lips parting
Making contact with mine
Erasing millennia of suffering
Washing all sorrow from my bones
To feel your soul
Lovingly embracing mine
Two people made for one another
Rejoicing in the freedom of now

Oh please, I nearly beg of you
Release this rusting binding of your past
Feel the rush of a free breeze
Caressing and shifting your sweet aroma
Fall as deep as you can
My arms await to catch you

Smoke rolls over the ruins
The solitary garden of serenity
Lays ablaze, desolate
Crying in the droughted fountain
Filling it with sorrow
Making wishes with invisible pennies

A calm wind approaches
Of no storm, of no extra pain
Sincerity in slightness
Clearing increments of fog
The sun beaming somewhere

Tears no longer fall
The fountain gains clarity
Lost in the obscurity of ash
Barren grounds find reincarnation
Sprouts bloom again, simplistic beauty
The sun shines once more

Oh majestic one
Why rise in your own court?
You dictate the lives below you
But you're light years away
Oh majestic sunrise

Smoke settling upon a journal
Smoke settling upon a journal
Pages torn and covered in blood
Pages torn and covered in blood
Blood and smoke in a covered journal
Settling upon torn pages

Childish rhymes and playful secrets
Childish rhymes and playful secrets
Shattered with the rising sun
Shattered with the rising sun
The Shattered sun rising with
Childish secrets and playful rhymes

Resilience falls with the youthful soul
Resilience falls with the youthful soul
Mourning hearts fade into night
Mourning hearts fade into night
Youthful hearts fade into mourning
Night falls with the soul resilience

Resilience, in a shattered night
The sun rising upon the journal
Blood and smoke settling
Youthful, childish hearts fade with mourning
Playful soul covered with secrets
Falls into torn rhymes and pages

Scarlet shining lakes surround the temple
The life of unnamed martyrs lay silent
The livelihood of millions, destroyed, vanquished
The gates of Hell opened, the wrath amongst us
A kid, youthful and playful
Lays still in a pile of millions
Another life ended senselessly
By a ridiculous spitting contest of thrones
One day, one day, maybe the wars will end
Maybe blood will no longer be shed
By our own hands. Maybe

Emotions of a million passions
Flowing from my eye sockets
Where orbs of vitality once inhabited

Words of these emotions
Pouring like billions of tiny spiders
Waterfall from the dried bone that used
To be covered by flesh awaiting your kiss

The heart in a burned ribcage
Still beating in rhythm
Pumps no blood no life
Just a black tar of sorrow

My arms, reduced to mere calcium
Still are held out
Awaiting you to fall into my embrace

But it's too late, far too late
I can't ever hold you again
I'm already dead

Blasphemous trees, arching above my head
Blasphemous trees, arching above my head
For which life doesn't represent
For which life doesn't represent
Life, arching above my trees
Blasphemous, for which doesn't represent?

Wilting flowers, drooping with death
Wilting flowers, drooping with death
I fear not this valley of sorrows
I fear not this valley of sorrows
I fear this valley of flowers
Drooping with sorrows, not death

End the abysmal monotony
End the abysmal monotony
Shed light upon the throne
Shed light upon the throne
Abysmal throne, shed light
Upon the end, the monotony


End the monotony of life
For which death, not sorrows,
Arching above wilting trees,
Doesn't represent fear; my blasphemous head!
I shed light with this drooping valley
Flowers upon the abysmal throne

Oh sweet mythical beauty
How I long to embrace you
Feel the surge of powerfully passionate emotion
As not only our two persons meet
But our two souls as well

Perhaps the days are growing fewer
Between now and reunition
But they drag on and on
With such monotony

Days fade to grey with pure amnesia
As my last clear memory is our last
The day you too faded
From my eye to my mind

But, you approach my eye once more
Eager yet timid
As I reach out and you take a step back
And I urge to you come forth
It's safe here with me
I promise you that
And I love you

An overwhelming sensation crosses my heart
As if you are speaking to me
Yet your mouth remains still

But how do I hear you so clearly?

A voice tremors in the dark of night
The stillness catches every jostle
Of the jawline, wavering with excitement
As he professes his love
The deepest emotions found in his heart
And there is no one to hear it
No ear to receive the devoted words
And the moon cries tonight

Silence among screams
Peace among turmoil
Love among anger
A world, twisting and turning
Contorting with pain
So alone yet so surrounded
A tear dropping
From divine emeralds
Splitting my heart like a knife

A rush to my head
The toy soldier stands at attention
Hearts pounding
The plastic men file in ranks
Sheep to the slaughterhouse
Eyes widening
The belly of the beast
Opens its void, its mouth
Stomachs dropping
The sunlight fades at noon
Darkness

Sun setting, slowly drifting behind the mountains
The iridescent glow of July fades into night
Crickets chirping, fireflies buzzing about
Making the world around us our own
Little, secluded universe amongst nature

The creak of a chair swing, oscillating in rhythm
To the beats in our chest, the swirl in our hearts
As you collapse into my arms, like you always did
A little gray streak showing, glistening
The smell of your fresh brewed coffee invades
Delights my nose so used to the smell
And my eyes, peering into yours
Fifty long/short years from now
And I love you still

Leaping hurdles with ease, never looking back
The heart of a wanderer finding homestead
In the soul of a loving beauty
Who's been wronged by so many
Yet can still love so deeply
The awestruck glance you catch from me
Babe, that's never gonna change
You're gonna amazes every day without fail
That's you, purely amazing

And so when I close my eyes tonight
Know that's what I see
And I really can't wait
To grow old with you

The power behind a voice
The sweet calming of a goddess
Pouring serenity over my heart
Rough seas cease to trouble
The lonely sailor
Who was never truly alone
Perched in the sky you watched me
As I drew ever closer to you

You hideous deception!
Show your face!
No don't
I don't wish to see it
You have walked a path
Which I thought may be righteous
Little did I know
You gladly opened the gates of hell
And strolled on through
For that
I want nothing to do with you

Sinking deep beneath my flesh
Seeping your beauty into my soul
I can feel you beating with my heart
Welcome home sweet love
I've missed you here

I awoke and my eyes were stained
By my own blood pouring from my face
A million screams shriek into my ears
But from no voice did they originate
The power of the cobra is immense
As it latches on to my trachea
And steals the breath from lungs
Fills my veins with its seeping venom
Its remedy
Give me liberty
By giving me death

Why can't we hold hands
Walk this path of life
And just love one another?

Why do we spend our days
In a sunken abyss of hatred
Seeded through many ages?

The seeds, growing fruits
Poisonous and bitter
Killing ourselves day by day

Lets end the ward
End the hate
And just be happy

Scream my name as I bury
This serrated blade deep within your flesh
Tearing all bindings that hold
Your physical being within itself
Until I reach your soul
And then I push the extra inch
Total death
But why would I scream my own name?

A little tablet in my mouth
Swimming around atop my tongue
Swallowed for pure bliss

The needle, piercing my skin
Sinking deep with my veins
Depression surging to my heart

The mix of both elements
Causing pure melancholy
Driving me insane

Burn the scars scattered about me
Drive them deeper beneath my flesh
Sever all ties that hold me together
Watch me crumble into shards
Of worthless ash

Can thou of most unholy acts
Speak to the treachery that hath not
Been partaken, yet is still reality
To the delusional eyes that sink
Far far beneath thoust skull?

In what fashion of logic can thou
Speak to the degrees of infidelity
When thoust hand embraces on man's
Whilst your head lays upon another?

The steel door has closed
Stopping the flow of
Psychotically devoted emotions
From pouring out of my heart
And into the words that you read
My words are bland
Yet met my feelings have spice
Why can't I put word to feeling today?

Should I be forced to go
Many miles away from here
To never return
Look for me
I'll be there

Look for me in the evening sun
I'll be smiling down on you
Wishing I could come down
And shine my smile only to you

Look for me in the whispering wind
I'll be singing your name
Wishing I could be there
To sing it in your ears

Look for me in the tree
I'll be standing by your side
Forever and ever
Wishing I could hold you

He has devoted his life
To laying walls
Brick by brick
Big walls and fancy ways
Ornamented with oriental designs
Opulence is a must
It protects a sacred being
Well, sacred to me
But the wall comes tumbling down
Every night when I think of you
Everything crumbles down
A flood of tears wash away the bricks
That once protected my heart
By sunrise,
He's laying the same bricks again and again

viewer discretion is advised. The following program has graphic images that may not be suitable for all audiences

The television stains my eyes
I can barely see myself in the mirror
While steady reporters shed not one tear
Don't you see the dead behind you?
Don't you feel the pain of their families
While you just "tell the story"?

27 dead, most of which young children, in a school shooting

The sickness creeps into my bones
Its impact rattles my spine
Debilitating me, confining me to a stupor
Why? Why?
Why end such bright futures and presents?
Do you not see the damage that you've done?
Do you not feel the blood pouring from
Your own body? Do you?

back to you, overpaid talking man*

A three minute blurb
That's it
Hundreds of people have been forever changed
Millions more afraid
And all you can do is harass them
Beg for interviews
While they still are in disbelief?
But beyond that
You show it over and over and over
All with the political lean
Of your respective stations
Could you not stop for once
And let mourners mourn?

Feed the parasites in my brain
Eating the bindings that hold me together
And watch as I fall
Deep
Deep
Deep
Deep
Into an insane abyss
Deeper
Where the only light there is
There isn't
Where the only logic allowed
Is illogical
Where the moon sings sweet lullabies
That I cannot hear or see
Does it really then?
Am I deaf/blind
Or is there nothing to see/hear?
Is this hole empty
Or is there so much that it implodes
Sending micro particles outward
Into the space that doesn't exist?

Slinking about step by step
With perfectly fluid motion
Seeing the world through eyes
Devoted to feline curiosity
The petty masters stand in awe
While I fall from three stories up
And land on all fours, unscathed
I am a cat, and I love my life
Sleeping through the hours of the day
To awake at night to scavenge
The little tailed furry critter
That you may be afraid of
But this is my dinner
Oh I love my life

Mark the ground beneath my feet with stars
And follow me to my destiny
Take a trip through my galaxy
See what I see feel what I feel
Judge me from the outside
And I'll mock you from the inside
The waters are warm here
But I cool those around me
You see a steady face
Slowly becoming apathetic to your pettiness
You beggards! Trying to steal my flame
I will torch your empty body
And smoke it for the high
And feel the empty happiness
That plagues your hearts
But wouldn't emptiness be better
Than feeling so much it stings?

Watch scars fall from my eyes
Pierce the earth
And grow into deformed plants

The seeds of pain and anger
Slowly sinking deeper and deeper
Advocating the growth of demons

Nurture my growth with the remains
Of my heart
That is perishing too soon

Feed the gay birds in my tree
With the fruits of my labor
The only accomplishment to my name

But what is it?
Am I leaving a legacy?
Or just a whisper in the wind?

When I leave for good
I will make not one sound
Not even a whimper

Trees don't speak
We are steady and resilient
And silent, within ourselves

The lack of noise blares in my ears
Scorching my waiting flesh
Eager to here the sound of your voice
The sweet melody
But falling victim
To the desolation of the silence

Shadows projected upon mine dreary wall
Painting murals of death and betrayal
Dancin within the flicker of the waning moon
And the candle, slowly dripping its last wax
Yet the wick still remains
It's not a fuse; it burns too slowly for measurement
Truthfully not at all
But once the wax has eroded away
Leaving my wick bare to the world
It shall sing its songs of love and longing
To which you shy away
The youthful flame dies out to be lit again
Not today, not today
It's too cold for fire now

To my sweet goddess,

Day in and day out
The sun rises and fades
The moon follows suit
A natural continuum of sorts

And like the sun and the moon
And the seasons they bring
My love for you is continuous
Starting but never ending

If life forces my hands from yours
And we are pried millions of miles apart
Know this, my only love
I will always cherish you in my heart

But I don't fear that day
For it shall never come
Millions of miles couldn't bar me from you
My love is too deep for that

For I have peered into the eyes
Of the divine in all of her mystic beauty
Which have cast onto my heart
A blessing of eternal passion

Should the sun die on the sunset of next
I wouldn't fear the ensuing darkness
I have the light of your soul
To show my path to your heart

From this path, I don't stray
I have only will enough to be with you
You're all I'll ever need
And I'll love you forever and always
To the moon and back

Open your eyes
And see me kneeling here
With an eager smile
And an anxious chuckle
See the nervous in my eyes
While I ask for your hand

Open your mind
Think past what is
And what was
Think to be what could be
You and me baby
You and me

But most importantly,
Open your heart
Lock the treasures within
No more
I know you worry
For their safety
But don't because baby
I'm right here and I'll never leave

The darkness of the night
Absolves the peace you've found
The demons run amuck
Destroying the gargoyles
That stood protecting your heart

I'm not made of stone
But darling I'm right here
I will stand in the face
Of evil to save you
I love you

I'm strong enough to stand
On my own two legs
But baby wouldn't it be grand
To stand on all fours
Mine and yours?

A sun set upon my heart
Driving me mad with unrequited love
I won't lie, it tore me apart
But now I stand before your smile
Oh baby won't you stay a while?

Forever could flash in front of our eyes
And it will be a spectacle
With you, nothing ever dies
Just me and you forevermore
Aren't ya ready to see what's in store?

I'm strong enough to stand
On my own two legs
But baby wouldn't it be grand
To stand on all fours
Mine and yours?

Normally my pen scribbles
Words of definite feeling
But tonight, I feel so much
Hope, love, happiness
All of which so deep
It swirls about mixing
Leaving my heart
To tell you sweet things
To make your heart smile
As you have made mine so many times

Imprinted image of you, in all of your astonishing glory lays upon my heart

Life would ne'er hold such great meaning if you hadn't been a part of its journey
O'er the course of just over a year we've created an unbreakable bond
Very much so, you're the greatest addition to my life. I couldn't and wouldn't trade you for all the riches hidden within this earth
Emmanating such amazing warmth from your soul, I wish to forever bask in it like my own personal sun

You are the center of my universe, perhaps you truly are my sun beyond metaphor
Obscurity be gone! The clarity of the day leads my heart to yours, my hands to yours, and my smile to your eyes
Unconditionally my love for you, my goddess, remains swirling within my heart bringing about a myriad of emotions, all of which lead me to stand before you and say this much...

I love you

Our two souls speak
Even from many miles apart
While I long to hold you
In my arms
I do every day
I say I love you
You say you love me
I say I love you
And you say you love me

It's those beautiful words
That I hear although unsaid
I hear you calling for me
Wanting for me to break you from you cage
That damnèd creature
Gripping you with such monstrous claws
But I can hear your voice
From somewhere deep within
From your heart
And baby,
I love you too

The last cool breeze has blown
O'er my heart
The pain is gone with the wind
You love me, oh sweet sweet girl
You love me so
The day cannot come soon enough
When you fall into my arms
One more time
This time
Forever

I've thought many an hour
Of the perfect image of the one
I wish to join hands with
In matrimony

Perhaps my thoughts are blinded
By the brightness of your light
But who I wish to be with
Is a clone of you

But can one like you be cloned?
So perfectly amazing
Bringing awe to me
In new ways every day

Can someone else be bestowed the responsibility
To hold such beautiful grace
Such sweet thoughfulness
Such unprecedented beauty?

No, they cannot
Not because the human body is incapable
You clearly stand before me
With your gorgeous emeralds glowing

No, it isn't that
It's that you're so amazingly unique
You're so one of a kind
And I'll be ****** if I don't love you
*with every fiber of my being

Oh but could you fathom leaving behind
All that you love?
You damnèd fool! You weak buffoon!
Had you not tried to seperate your heart
From your being?
Only to crawl around like a mindless freak
Frothing at the mouth as if taken by
Some disgusting ailment?
Aye, you had you had.
I remember the tears that fell from your eyes
The rivers of pain slowly trickling
Aye, you had fallen to your knees only to stand
Do so now.
If you shan't walk then how must you trek across
The miles that stand before you?
The path is clear and the sun is shining
Follow your heart young one
Find peace with the earth around you
And find your way back home
To the arms of your goddess

And if I do fade with the evening sun
Can I then rise with the cresting moon?
Sit atop my perch and watch as the stars
Slowly burn out like my wobbly sanity?
Slowly become one with the universe that
Surrounds my heart and chokes it?
Oh man on the moon, will you come down
To me and take me away?
Put millions of miles between myself and my struggle?
Take me to a place where no pain exists
Only the supreme peace of absolute
Solitude and tranquility?
Oh man on the moon take me away

Oh why must pain riddle my heart?
Can the birds not sing every day
And can the sun not always be seen?
For what purpose does this rain patter
Upon my soul and drench me
Only for your smile to thaw the the freeze?
Can the Angels not strum a time upon their harps
To the beat of your footsteps
Drawing you close to me?
Can the aroma of your sweet skin not
Bring back so many memories
If they are not to be today?
Can I just fade into dust
Settle upon this earth
And be one with the wind
And drift off into the evening sun?
Can you not just be with me?

I fall to my knees
On the shattered remains
Of my mirror image
The man who stood tall
Reduced to millions of nothings
Come glue me back together, baby

Shadows shadows on the ground
Pitfalls within reach of every step
Absolute darkness shrouds presence
Feed the hungry beast within my soul
When it rears its ugly head
Soothe it with your melodious voice
Reason with me, calm my fears
Take my hand, sweet goddess
Deviate from our current paths
Loosely intertwined, tangle the knot tightly
Hold on and never let go
So we can fall deep and away
Deep and away from here and there
Let us fall together, even if it's to nowhere
