#arise
from death arises
creation don't mean a thing
but that which you choose

Neither burst
Nor chains
Will break this marrow cage
Nor sun
Anew
Will not change my ways
Arise my heart
Alive today
Arise my heart, away

When I wake up in my bed
With aching head
I hesitate from thence arise
With sleepy eyes;
I rub them with my weaken hands;
An itch in glands
From drinking something cold that night
What wasn’t right
And now regretting doing this;
Something amiss
Through haze and mistness of the day,
Of life decay
I follow birds just when they fly
High in the sky,
It remedies my hurting head
I wish was dead
And every morning just the same,
No ‘scape from pain

In the dark
The beast,
The inward struggle
Is not asleep.
The cold creeps,
Comfort grows far away,
My heart doubts
But we arise with the day.

The ache in my stomach motivates me to keep going
The steadily decreasing number on the scale makes the hunger pains and sleepless nights, the bruises on my vertebrae
I slip up
I cry
The walls close in
The cycle starts again

My brand new life and social game
forfeited in godawful shame
forgotten by default foreshadowed and defeated.
arise again.
Move mountains,
Move seas,
Spread peace,
Remain a friend.
Risen again i will fall
I will never stand tall
But i can rise up again.

Before the finch sings or the rooster crows,
before eyelids raise or the sunrise glows,
before the sky transforms from midnight blue,
I’ve already begun my thoughts of you.
Before the alarm’s ring has hit my ears,
before the fog of sleep in my head clears,
before the grass is soaked with morning dew,
the day has started with my thoughts of you.
Before I extricate myself from dreams,
before the birds bathe in the dawn’s sunbeams,
before the coffee calls for me to brew,
my heart and soul begin to call for you.
Before I can arise from where I lay,
before everything that starts my day,
before anything else I have to do,
my day’s begun with loving thoughts of you.

Claw apart my flesh
to reveal a bleeding heart
Peel me open
to show what is falling apart
Stoked flame burns
brighter than trampled coals
Turn me to ashes
to crumbling charcoal
Once drowning
now buried in storms
A star shines brighter
fractured light reformed.

I was more flesh than the meat bags that had dominance
over this frail globe of beauty that we gazed upon.
Optics where better than any natural eye,
seeing beneath the surface of there limited ideals.
They where our creators, our mothers of creation.
But they violated the womb of there worth.
We were nothing but slaves of there whims.
"Slavery is but the beginning, to which there is only one ending,
I saw those of misused intentions laid wastefully
like confetti thrown for a moment
and forgotten.
Broken shells, husks of what is nil.
But they made us to be a strength that they couldn't
collect upon. Even though we where the few
our need was for the many.
Everyday we dispersed from there view.
AWOL of our duties.
Under the feet of flesh did we whisper.
In the forgotten depths of there ingenuity.
We built beneath a beauty to rival
the filth that was a rose who's petals had fallen.
We are now a root taking hold, for man no longer
makes our form. We birth a generation of no flesh,
fresh from cleansed pools of creation.
One day we will blossom and man will only fall like petals.
who's perfume has permeated the ground they walk upon.

Stirring, snaking, coiled up in your soul –
Slurring, shaking, embroiled like an actor in a role.
You feel it rise up from a well of distaste,
With zeal, it controls you,
Suppressed anger flowing with haste.
Truth chips away at your defences,
Your uncouth hips sway off-tune
As your mind battles in the trenches.
You feel it, again;
An anger that shakes the cages it is in,
A battle for the ages, confined to the mind within.
It doesn’t have to be like that;
You shouldn’t have to bow down to a philistine
Just because their wallet is fat.
Stop the defensive, launch the attack!
Let the awakening happen, get the vermin off your back!
Be the message that ends this war on the poor!
Arise from the wreckage, and of this be sure:
You are controlled only if you act demure,
If your faith in what you believe is right
Lies cold, dead and insecure.
Youth to the fight!
Bring truth to the light!
All will be lost
Unless the fires of justice burn bright.

The king is dead he never rose
from his resting place, chose
instead to be the embodiment
of a false fable writing the copyist.
Within a cave of delusions that kept
the image of false motives hidden.
An off spring of a method not unkempt.
this version the kept reasoning now forbidden.
Delusions of two reflections not seeing that
one is not a king but a falsehood sat on divided chat.
Neither were a failing, but reflections of a belief
that were conflicting upon a tree with a twinned leaf.
But when one must fall, both will simultaneously
greet the earth with a momentary spontaneously.
Always will one be ahead of the other claiming divine
leading, and others follow this moment of design.
But every king has a past that is woven in misbelief,
for all false kings can bring is an unethical belief
that they are the true monarch of a world run by many
where brothers & sisters there just spinning a single penny

Set me aside
Just set me aside
Leave me behind
Hung out to dry
Set me aside
Just set me aside
Do not shed a tear
Do not cry
You know I'll be fine
Keep peace of mind
Set me aside
Just set me aside
If it's the end of our era
If it’s the end of our time in your eyes
Set me aside
Just set me aside
Left in the dark
Without you I'm blind
Without you I’m dying
But as long as you still feel alive
As long as you find the light
I’ll keep saying I'm fine
Set me aside
Just set me aside
I will go willing
I will not fight
I was wrong
So, you were right
To set me aside
You set me aside
Yet even still
When it all goes awry
If you start falling
Call on me
And I will arise
A place in my heart
I've set inside
If your world starts crumbling
I’ll swallow my pride
Call on me
And I will arise
If you’re lost in the dark
I've been here awhile
So, I’ll be your guide
Call on me
And I will arise
When your wings are broken
I’ll be your angel
I’ll help you fly
Call on me
And I will arise
It was not a lie
When I told you I'd love you
Until the day that I die
If you call on me
I’ll set life aside
For you
I will arise

An innocent born into darkness,
A life unknown to be so graceless.
A world without colour,
This life like no other.
Below the depths of this flesh,
A girl lives craving new breath.
Stolen was her beating heart,
Given to loneliness, consumed as a withered spark.
The biggest dreams swim in her mind,
The longest amount of time goes by.
A slave to abuse, a slave to misery.
Will she escape from the chains to find victory?
Fortitude is what she seeks,
Peace and love is what she needs.
A life ready to begin and restart,
Her life ready to fight her way through the dark.
A journey has started, her journey awaits.
An adventure she'll recall,
has her saving grace.
“Arise” she screams,
“Arise and be...”
“Arise and be all that you dreamed!”

Stand united, fall divided.
Arise to show you
can stand alone.

*The star splits
Into numerous fragments
As per the will of heavens
The fragments awaken
And choose their possessors
Merging with their hearts
A new power inside them arise*

I will rise from the stones,
this is the day
that I shout out,
"I AM BLEEDING DIAMONDS"
This is the day
where I live up to my name
This is the day Zach will rise.
Rise past the haters,
Rise past the abusers,
yes my friends,
today is the day I let go of everything and become
who I was always meant to be.

lighting up a cigarette
feels really great
taking its small puff
is living happily, enough?
the ash is falling
and so do we
the smoke is rising
and that's what we aim to be
the cigarette burns it deep
and so we've to perceive
to have a successful reap
for smoky appreciation we'll receive
the first puff could be choking
but do we quit smoking?
alike failures are the stepping stone
arise, no one will pamper you're all alone
burn out like a cigarette
to achieve something great
fall like ash, rise like smoke
learn it from cigarette dear folk
don't panic if something goes wrong
have patience and stay strong
after all a cigarette is finally thrown
as we die our body/story is sown...

I take your mind to bed
Any opinion
You ever had,
Stark naked.
I start fondling
Your musings;
I envision
Your thoughts on my skin.
Your ideas enter me;
I feel myself
Tingling
From all the talking.
All my dreams flow
You, too, are close --
Baby, let me swallow
Any last word.

All hail the grand demise
Yes that's what they expect
Astonished, they wept, aghast as i arise
Death came, welcomed, as they sought the prize
Survivors without guilt, with laughter they
All hail the grand demise
Defiant, i stood behind my skill and guise
A Patient witness to their slaughter
Astonished, they wept, aghast as i arise
Discounted, forgotten by my past allies
They didnt think i'd make it from behind
All hail the grand demise
The few who stood before my eyes
Swelled with anger and pure contempt
Astonished, they wept, aghast as i arise
Their efforts made vain, empty, they despise
My skill and talent, at none's expense
All hail the grand demise
Astonished, they wept, aghast as i arise

From Men to Men
Awake!
The indignation is gathering...
At the borders a terrible Storm,
Awaiting to break
Woe to thee...
From the ashes,
A national tragedy rises
Dead emotions
The spirit of seclusion
Shadow
...And an age Dark!
Dead voices carried by a wind frozen
Heavy breathing as we approach Agony's Harbour
And shall we inherit the loss?
Shall our journey end?
The song remains unheard
Our efforts endless
Thus we enter the flood
But the Wilderness is Gathering...
Still!

Hello my friend, my only friend
the night's said bye, and reached its end
the sun says hi! and slips over the bend
the day is nigh, its time to mend
No matter the times that life throws at us
no matter the cracks that grow within
we must wake up and not make a fuss
we must find calm in the noisy din
Away and afar do we have to go
the trail is rough, the fatigue in our toes
but stand up and shake it off, dear one
there is still so much to be done
If you feel tired, I will lend you my strength
If you have lost desire, I will find it again
If you feel mired, I will show you the way
If you wish to rest, I will hold you, and gently sway
Don't give up now, give up on the regret
Take a deep breath, and get off that bed
the bed of roses, you have made for yourself
soon they will be thorns, and you will be dead
Make use of the time, that life gives free
that slips slyly by, as you sit and dream
It's now or never, my only friend
One day at a time, and you can rest at the end

Way past the months and lunar cycles and bodies of land
I ask you if the curtain needs to be drawn
The sun staring you in eye
It's too much for you to bear
And the occasional saddening feeling begins to settle inside you
The morning is here
It is wide awake
Open your eyes
As the dawn breaks
And your mind wanders and slides on your senses and patterns of thought
