*Treading on new ground, tumbledown I fear the worst With hands clenching tightly like the backdoor of a hearse And what’s worse becomes the knot from which my stomach will not drop As it is tied too tightly to a being near forgot The choices that I’ve made become the ones that never stop Moving in reverse my curse, ahead of me is blocked By a body absent pulse where the soul has left its host Haunted by the light then disappearing like a ghost And like most I’m left idle gears changing, carriage coasts To a path in lieu of solitude, the path I never chose Dousing sparks now depart, ignition gone as pistons slow Shifting stars becoming clouds, heaven high no longer glows Wheels stop, crippled clock, as both headlights now explode Swinging door, stitches torn, walk the path away from home Shield stripped, one way trip to a throne that’s made of bones Body pale, life derailed, the only life I’ve ever known Cold water cuts the sky, broken tears of angels cry Now carving out my flesh, pooling blood till vessels dry With the body at my feet, the body’s heart would not comply Oh that body at my feet, oh that body it was mine.*

The Funeral I Forgot
The past is always present The present is always passing Tomorrow is so near But will never come to pass The past is full of promises made for tomorrow But tomorrow is never guaranteed The future hold those promises made in the past For the past holds the lessons from decisions made in the present It is in the present now however That I must make my pass We are not promised tomorrow there is no guarantee we will grow old By ten minutes or ten years This is probably a mind ****** this early in the morning But I just wanted to say it first thing Because time in this life is short I want to waste none of it So first thing in the mornings I want to help make yours just that much better Give a start to your day, and maybe just a little smile Good morning to you angel I hope your day is worthwhile
