COME WITH ME

It is my lonely journey, on a trail that is dark
I leave no fingerprints, I promise to leave no mark
It is my prayers unheard, that are howls in the air
No longer looking for a love, nor for a someone who would care
A dark soul I am, on a travel to the pits of hell
There are no buyers at all, for the trinkets that I sell
Cold is in my heart, and in my veins is ice
I took to wind and the waters, and destroyed all that was nice

HOPES AND DREAMS

I've been to the places
No one's ever seen
I've been down the roads
No one's ever been

I've been many places
Been looking for that light
Where the angels are black
And the demons are white

And now we meet at this cross roads
And I like what I've seen
And now I am hoping forever
This light never turns green

Politically Incorrect

How you write a poem
About a love that doesn't exist
Or confess your love to someone
That you know really wouldn't care

But it is only writing a story
A story all made up on a dare
Or just a story written for a muse
That treats you as a tare

No it is not a Romeo and Juliet
More like Wendy and Peter Pan
It isn't even love, or just a fatal attraction
You try so hard, the deal just isn't fair.

It is no use at all,
no matter what you may think
It is of no use at all,
Just let go, just let the ships sink

Tattoos

There are days when this life smiles upon me
And the pain it seems to start to disappear
The clouds part, and the sun begins to shine
Those are the days that fill my heart with a fear

Memories of days that are burnt into my heart
Memories of those days when I could hold you to me
Look into your eyes and see the oceans
And see the night stars all so shinny and near

A love, deeper than any canyon you will ever see
A forgotten love that still brings smiles to my lips
I could never say how bad it has hurt me
When you see me, I will smile and hold back a tear

Some time has past, and our lives gone on
When our path do cross, and it's been almost a year
Every stop, every smell, every walk still reminds me of you
Why would I need any tattoos my dear

It is your spell
I am living in hell
A curse that never ends
My soul never bends

You take what you want
It is my wishes
You fail to grant
Then It is me that you taunt

So, I question your laws
And I name your flaws

It's a shame when I have to ask
Someone not up to the task

It is a shame when I am rejected
It is a shame if I am accepted
You have made all these rules
What a shame if we are connected

At the end of the road, your journey begins
There is a name for that
When the bitter winds of cold
Warm your soul
There is a name for that

When your heart aches and you don't know why
You want to forget but you don't know what
You have given up but still you try
Put a smile on your face when you want to cry
There is a name for that

No it is not love, it's so hard to admit
The need is not there but you don't resist
You know it will fail and you still persist
Recommit yourself to who doesn't exist
There is name for that

There are no angels in heaven
No bright star and no guiding light
Darkness awaits like a welcome friend
Wings of Hermes bereft of flight

Your mind wanders back to places not there
Too tired to breathe and too tired to care
Isn't life all about a game of dare
We take chances and life's not fair

Assassin's Creed

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted".

We all love to play some games
We all want to name those names

It all makes sense,
Till sometimes that it does not
Crossing out names in our books
And then pretend that we forgot

Strange are these games
That people play
Strange are these things
That people say

What is "for real" in this world,
And what is a spoof
How do you "disprove" something,
Of which you yourself are the proof
