Look here,
Come closer and look,
That's it...
Close your eyes,
No, please don't laugh,
I'm serious,
Right, now that your eyes are closed,
Look at the darkness,
Do you see the different shades?
It's amazing how one colour can be so diverse,
Imagine if we mixed the vibrant palette of the earth,
What a wondrous and magical rainbow we could create,
Come, let's go generate it...

View from a Cliff

Go then! I in truth did trust and build,
It was never love, was it?
Far from those beloved shores we both did live
Even though I more than love did give.

"O, why did you hurt me so?
My life in shadows is now stormed and clawed,
I shall embrace the oceanic art of nature's
Mourning laughter."

And you?

Already you sail into the breezy arms of conceit,
Get drunk on freedom's beguiling waters of deceit,
I revealed all with this my liberated heart
But you tore apart my soul's timber before we could on love's trek embark.

"Arise, for this be a new day..."

Say...*

Let not this rare day be dimmed,
Embrace this gift of life gracefully,
Above us rise the true blue skies,
The slow golden hued sun richly glows,
The swaying breeze gently kisses your lips,
Across the land do the birds of the dawn sing a hymn,
This cool blue symphonic pool is the goal of the soul,
Go now and make a special play of this magical day,
Cast away all sorrow for a change will always be born on the morrow.

"After hardship comes ease..."

For they see and read not,
For they read and know not,
For they know and act not,

For they act and be false,
For they are false and be deceitful,
For they are deceitful and be ungrateful,

For the time is near at hand now,
For the hand of life grows old,
For the old do hold the hand of death,

For it was long ago said,
For it was said and also written,
For it was written and now it shalt be so...

A Soldier Weeps

I trace the shape
of a raven's heart

I itch to kiss
my wounded heart

I taste blood red rain
on my tongue's heart

I see a desert eagle
tear open a mother's heart

I bid farewell
to you my broken heart

Apart / Depart

There is a crack
in her soul,
She tries to plug up the crack
as her life shyly creeps out,
Her love abandoned her,
He coldly watches her and smiles
when her heart begins to slow,
Her warmth throbs
and her passion ebbs,
Darkness embraces her
and she tastes the fruits of peace.

Sell Hercules

Freedom is premium priced,
At the casino of the world nations throw the dice,
The tables are rigged by the fat rats and mice,
Girls in curvaceous miniskirts on poles entice,
***** laced drinks and cancer sticks merrily fleece,
Fizzy burgers are served filled with crucified cheese,
Layers of salt and blood and veins congealing with grease
Are the fillings inside the consumed meat,
Come to the sale of the century and let your life be diseased,
Take whatever you want and still you will never be pleased,
Remember, one day all will be held to account, so all evil immediately cease,
Do not make the mistake to ******* the legend of glorious Hercules
Or pollute and sell the message of almighty God so cheaply.
