To live in a place both bright and warm,
On which the art of the heart is reflected in form

But the heart contains shades of the twisted and absane,
From experiences of visceral desire and pain

Casting shadows betraying the walls of this bright place,
Misshapen against the radiant-true worlds face

Opening eyes of men towards their worldward sprawl,
Thus above there lies the heavens in monochromic fall,
Such colourful devastation, to open the hearts of all.

Once, I was gifted the brightest jewel of all the wide worlds wonder

It shone for me with a brilliance, as it had for no other

But in my foolishness I cast this priceless jewel away

And as it fell t’was broken, the light scattered asunder


Now, it will not shine for me

And so, I stand in darkness


The bitter pain of watching its warmth shining upon others

As my own space dimmed, to dark and ugly colours

But it was I who cast the jewel that broke, and made itself anew

Stronger, fairer, brighter than the untouched jewel that I once knew


Still, I cannot bear to see

And so, I stand in darkness


A jewel so bright, many have sought to bask in its fey light

This is no earthen gemstone, nor star that graces the night

Most, too foolish to keep it shining upon them alone

A jewel set in the breast of artwork fairer and brighter beyond sight


Woe, it shines the least on me

And so, I stand in darkness


A darkness I would have flee from unforgiving fire

To burn the earth and all the heavens until I’m alone

To end this world with fell flames is to what I aspire

And watch the gods despair, at the crumbling of their thrones


Yet, I must not turn ugly

And so, I stand in darkness


Anguish will never wear such a resplendent face, as the one that I shall paint it

Despair will be sung truly, in a sweet melodic guise

I shall mould regret into a bolt of ruthless doom, enamored with a purpose

And pen loss in lustrous tales, to gild a readers eyes


All, done with some subtlety

And so, I stand the darkness


To sound a scream which rends the land, leaving a scar behind

To cry deltas flowing back through past deeds, flooding that frame of mind

For it to nourish life, of a beautiful, and evolved kind

Thus emptied, to float up and admire it from above, weightless, and refined


Though, I must tread silently

And so, I walk from darkness


Finally I saw the truth, after I was told a lie

Delivered into the blinding light, I was left wondering why

Why I was cursed with the folly to commit the greatest of life's crimes

Why I must now see sense, and what has passed me by


Still, t’was a choice made by me

And thus, I’ve burned with darkness






Never, never, ever again, to break such fragile, precious things

Nor walk with tactlessness, or tragedy in my stride

I'll shine with luminescence of thoughts and deeds most high

When some facets of that young boy, have finally, truly died



My own jewel shattered, with minds eye open wide

Now I understand, this allegory of dark and light

To all beautiful women
You have a powerful smile
Now this may sound strange
But please stay, listen for a while

Our hearts in your hands
You must handle with care
Because your carelessness and cruelty
Is a harsh burden to bear

And do not take it for granted
This gift given to you at birth freely
For it has won you praise and love
Without effort, so easily

Beautiful woman, let the day shine through your smile
Beautiful woman, please come talk to me for a while

Beautiful woman, won’t you take comfort in my arms
Beautiful woman, please heal me with your charms

Beautiful woman, you are an exotic being
If only you knew, you could pluck my heart like a string

To all the beautiful woman
You hurt like you heal
As you send my mind spinning
On this maddening wheel

You need to understand
Just what you do to me
Whether weighing me down with grief
Or lifting me up with glee

I prize your smile more than a gem
In the memories of my mind
And it is my wildest of dreams
That you would value me in kind

Beautiful woman, you hold me in a trance
Will you let me take you by the hand, and run off with me to dance?

Won’t you visit me, upon your graceful wings
I truly seek the healing that your love brings

You just don’t know how much I need your smile today
Please give it to me in any sort of way

Beautiful woman, you shine like the night sky
Beautiful woman, I have this sudden urge to fly

I meditate each day

To improve myself, and the world

For my own evolution, and the betterment of others

So that my mind will serve me and my Will shall be strong and true

So that my emotions will not control me

And so that my body will be a fit vessel for my soul

I meditate so that I may perceive Truth and Beauty, emit Love and Peace, and walk only in Wisdom and Light

I meditate so that these words are not twisted by my ignorance, and bring no suffering

I meditate to overcome my greatest and only foe, myself

For I choose the path of Enlightenment

Good sir, I remember when our adventure first began
At that party, among many hugs and the odd “I love you man!”

After that life has never been quite the same
You brought another sun into my world, for me to bask in its flame

In time we got to know each other and it grew brighter until
You made me a Protagonist, and I joined you in battling evil

However, you were so sad for reasons only you can really know
For its true the greatest enemy lies within, and it’s not easy to show

But we all cared for you so much, and again our days grew brighter
After all, you are a Protagonist, and at heart the greatest fighter

Together we overcame all, defeating the darkness we ever faced
With the mages power, the warriors skill, the ninjas stealth and haste

And while you may sometimes feel sad, as the good-hearted often do
I will always say; this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

For when you tire from life’s battles, and all others fail or flee
I will always be by your side, for you to lean on me

Even when I leave the world, and am set free of this mortal coil
My spirit will be there to guide you, through all hardships and toil

Though I think you will seldom need me, no matter your feelings hue
Because you possess a  unique soul, one Beautiful, Strong, and True

Though yet many sunny days and moonlight night lay ahead, filled with laughter, good times and a friendship most epically won

I think our adventures, Sir Brandin, have only just begun

Upon a sky-flung hill, in the arms of mountains tall and white,

The world goes by


Rich grass rolls ever onward, where feet rarely tread

From which bright flowers sway to and fro
Caressed by a passing breeze

Clouds sail over them On High,
Their shadows traverse the land below
Gliding across the fields, soft and silent


Sunlight bathes the earth

Captured as bright jewels in small streams
That wink and dance in the vibrant waters

They run down to small lakes, clear and smooth,
A perfect mirror of the vast blue, and white nomads ever adrift
Where lone islands of natural hues rise above the surface


The streams gather before a cottage, lax and quaint

With windows gazing out in contemplation
Drinking in the lofty vastness, through lucid eyes

Its water-wheel similarly oblige the tarn at its feet
Lapping softly with each passing day-dream
Nestled in green, amid a tranquil tide of wind and light


All is warm, and still
