#lute
A blade of silver, sharp and cold A loyal terror, fierce and bold Behind the mask of LED light She is the purging gale of night No mercy shows in golden eyes Beneath the vast, unyielding skies She follows where the leader leads To fulfill important tasks and needs With halo bright and wings of steel She helps decide who stands or kneels The "Lieutenant" with a will of stone Who helps protect the heavenly throne To her, the world seems black and white The righteous path, the demon night A soldier born for a cause so grand She holds authority in command

The Steel Lieutenant
The lonely bard sits in the shade of a tree strumming his lute for you and me he has been rhyming for quite some time born with a gift he plays, and plays his fingers so swift Alas, no one will pass but he keeps on playing he will stay here forever even when his body starts decaying He has become a legend but what is left to see a finely carven lute resting next to a tree

the lonely bard
I've written this story, Thousands of times in my head. But when it comes to pen and paper, I run out of things to be said. The bard, the mire, the sleuth His lute, his fear, his truth. Traveller through time, His words chill the spine. Oh, weaver of tales, Hunter of lies. Falter not to failure, Or meet demise. Songs will save thee, Open all eyes to see. Though the devil is in the details, His chord, echoes on all that fails.

Finish the Story
The bard feels all sung out As the world around him sleeps He is the only one left In the right sense of mind Who doesn't feel strung out So he sets to write a merry tune 'pon his lute so fine For come the morning When the people awake An old tune just won't shine He tries and tries Till the **** does crow But sadly sunrise comes The women start to knead their dough To cook their breakfast buns And the poor old Bard In this moment did find Of songs he wrote not a single one And he now is out of time

The Bard
I Keats I can feel your pain deep below Poetry is slowly killing me, Oh the flow Help me find the musical glow It’s up to her music’s poetry to save me Or is it all in my mind? Or is it to unkind? I could do better than that-ignoring her- II I relax in my poetic space for awhile Looking at this page of doubt Fixating my mind in spheres The glorious sound of music’s hell She screams in bed while I play her shell I think about all of her leers and fears- III ******** her makes me move Playing the lute, or should I say electricity I only found out she only knew I’m only there for her new-news Irresistible love games and screws She’s trying my luck- It’s time to leave-
