I am a snake
slithering silently
Through solemn sorrow
To borrow
A soul
One rule
En jeweled
upon my tomb
Is that we cannot control
We cannot hold
Anything
Our dreams are fleeting
Passing us by
I need more money
I ask the world why
Why should I pay
For my voice to be heard
Why should I pay
for my own artwork
For that matter why should anyone pay
To shine
The world is a snake
Slithering silently
In solemn sorrow
To borrow
A life
In strife
And in turmoil
A large fight
Leads to radioactive soil
Children's bodies litter the ground
All around
And I ask why
Why should the innocent pay
For the crimes of a leader
Why must the poor pay
In blood and in fear
I awake in a scream
As I rub my eyes
I come to realize
It was a serpentine dream

Another draws my eye
And it is hard to find
The answers to a questionable mind
Wrapped up in the world around us
I am a patient man
And I do what I can
But she still does not see
Should I tell her
Will she hate me
I wish to see her
Completely
The very thought of her
Consumes me
The thought of being with her
Makes me happy
But will I break my chains
Of utter shyness
Or will I remain
In loving silence

"A Second Silent Love"
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
A beast who travels by twilight
And kills his prey in the dead of night
With his soul aflame
For this new game
This game is cunning
This game is fast
This game keeps running
But it doesn't last
He stalks his prey so quietly
And kills this game with extreme ferocity
Who is this beast
Who turns the innocent into a feast
What is this beast I see
I know now,
This beast is me

From the past I am revealed

A lonely mind to which I appeal

To rescue him

From his dark past

Although my chances are slim

We make progress fast

I am his past-life manifestation

I must stop his dark delegation

With the only tools I know how

To make these in-mind dark creatures bow

I may not be able to save him

But **** it, I'll try,

I am Steven's rescuer, Daemon

Forever
In times of late
Forever
I will wait
To hold the tremendous power
In the very palm of my hand
My enemies will cower
In fear
It's clear
Whats been written in the sand
Call this an ancient writ
Once I have it
Forever
I'll hold this scepter
As an ancient
A powerful specter

Feel the amplifier
Pulsating a passion
that pushes and pursues
Values
Jubilantly jumping
In and out of musical Eroticy
Sensuality
Music brings forth the life
Inside
A mind
Trapped and lost
A maze
A daze
These days
It's my only escape
The wailing weeping and sweeping
Down the fret board of a fender
That centers me in Ecstasy
The pulsing pounding petering
From the bass drum
Teetering
And then some
Crash goes the cymbal
I let out a scream
A resonating symbol
That brings forth my dream
Arrogance
Pestilence
Enemy of silence
My musical Resonance
Stills the brewing violence

Listen...

What do you do
When your body lives
While your soul dies
When your spirit gives
While your body cries
I try
And I try
But I just cant get by
Her face burned into my eyes
And I cant make it back
And I lack
The ability
To see
Reality
