(Follow The Crow)

                           As I fell into a dream
                        there he was once again
                        To give me Knowledge,
                           to break the chain

                          Years have passed
                        since I heard the crow
                           Come fly with me
                              It’s time to go

                         My fear grew weak
                          as we flew so high
                           I knew right then
                        I wasn’t afraid to die

                            Into the clouds
                        which felt like home
                       Beyond the heavens
                       is where I will roam

Was it your guardian angel or an illusion
    did it protect you or just block out the truth
    There is something hidden in your soul
    something evil and dark from your youth

    It’s something you feel deep down inside
    flashes of reality are coming to life
    All these years you have locked it away
    like a shadow hidden deep in the night

    Changing your thoughts of who you are
    false memory of a child fades into the night
    Your ambiguous mind may finally be free
    cause darkness always gives away to light

    Your hearts on a quest to find out the answer
     to a question the world my already know
     In a world that you visit only in a dream
     In a time that you lived way long ago

     It gives you peace just for a moment
     but in time you end up in hell
     You may think that your life is so normal
     but your locked in your own prison cell

(My Killer)

I saw the reaper in a dream
In the night he came to me
To scared to run,to scared to scream
I felt the end was near

I saw my killer that same night
staring into my eyes
I thought right then,I’ve  lost the fight
And he has finally won

Through all these years
I was blind
When he appears
I close my mind

I fought with my shadow
I couldn’t get away
I’ve ran from my own soul
I couldn’t stop to pray

I met my killer that day
He was finally free
Very hard for me to say
but the killer was me

(Year of the mask)

As I look around
I gasp for air
Millions of people
With a faceless stare

I can’t understand
This world today
Why are people dying
Why does are youth disobey

The world we know
has disappeared
The way we are
Is what we feared

Can’t see family
Can’t see friends
Oh please God
When does it end

Who can we trust
Not a soul today
The ones we looked up to
Has lead us astray

{ Personal storm }

Take a look around my friend
and once again you’ll find the sun
Is the weight of the world on you
did it take away your fun

I know you can’t see the road
through the pain and the tears
Your world is falling down
Inside your soul you found your fears

But it’s not time to lay it down
It’s not time to call it quits
Rise from your darkest hour
and drag yourself from the pits

We all face our own demons
we all face our private hell
You may feel that you’re alone
 and there’s no one in the world to tell

Take a look around my friend
the storm will finally end
Just remember you’re not alone
And the sun will come again

For a friend

(Wind on the Mountain)

I stood on the mountain
I looked around to see
A world God gave us
Just for you and me

I felt the cold wind
blow from the north
Such a beautiful feeling
here on Gods great earth

Release your fears
and come with me
I’ll take you to a world
where we are free

Where eagles dare
way above the clouds
Where serenity takes hold
far away from the crowds

Where the rivers flow
and the wolves they run
you can reach to the sky
and touch the sun

I have a gift sent from the Lord,
It’s been here from the start.
He gave me the eyes to see his word,
and a lonely but beautiful heart.

He helps me release my pain
through poetry and songs
He showed me how to capture the rain
And put it where it belongs

I’ve walked these wicked streets
In the mist, I took a wrong turn
I still breath and my heart still beats
and I’m not ready to crash and burn

I still have something to say
and a lot of music in my soul
As I kneel down and pray
I cling to love and rock ‘n’ roll

( Remember the footprints )
                          
                                 I give you a piece of my heart
                                  So yours wont break alone
                                  What's in Gods plan for us
                                   Will always be unknown

                                If I can only take your hand
                                and  make every thing alright
                                   But I can't,I'm just a man
                                 Only God can help your fight

                                  When the wind grows cold
                                   And you can hardly stand
                                   Just take another breath
                                      And always remember
                                   the footprints in the sand
                                  
                                    Please forever  be strong
                                     And take it day by day
                              It's up to you too keep your faith
                                we are all here to help you pray

(We’re All Afraid)

                 Lost inside ourselves
                we know we are alone
            The wise holds the strength
               to the future unknown

                  From a child to a man
               we try to show no fear
                But in the mist of reality
                     life is so unclear

                        On the outside
            we shine like a golden stone
                     But in the inside
                where afraid and alone

                In my brothers eyes
               I can see his despair
            But he can end his pain
             with just a little prayer

(Unknown heart)

Mirror mirror on the wall
why does my heart have to fall
It feels like it hurts beyond repair
to trust again I do not dare

As I look further into my soul
Is something there in this black hole
A peaceful light that shines of gold
as I watched it’s beauty unfold

Oh mirror mirror there on the wall
Could it be my hearts not broken at all
It seems so strong and full of life
It shines so loud and so bright

I know now what God has given me
a beautiful heart that longs to be free
Without all the pain and false promises
and within myself is where it is

(Good night)

Oh beautiful friend
It’s time to close your eyes
We will meet again
and create a new sunrise

Your dreams feel the night
like a rainbow in the sky
There’s no longer a need to fight
or to justify

We will float in the darkness
with peace in our hearts
With no worry of sickness
nor Violence or force

We have found serenity
in the heart of silence
As we find our destiny
we will need no guidance

No more goodbye
and no more good night
Just the beauty in the sky
and Gods beautiful light


the Lost poet

( Crystal-gazer)

I followed the old road up the mountain,
         at night the mist grows thick.
         My heart started beating fast,
   then I seen the light of a candlestick.

     As I entered the decrepit old house
        there she stood in the hallway
         Her eyes they lit up the room
   as I asked myself why am I here today

      She said You wandered all your life
       You fly with a crow upon my back
        and a wolf that walks beside you
        but your past,has faded to black

        As she stared at her Crystal ball
             and said I do see a vision
   You will continue fighting your demons
    but soon be forced to make a decision

  Trapped at the crossroads in your mind
       and your soul bleeds for answers
      Standing in the darkness all alone
    Your spirit follows the lonely dancer

       But in the end I see a bright light
Your inner strength will over come the pain
  unlocking the true beauty of your heart
     And on that day you will shine again

( Summer Song )

                         Take me back,
                       back to serenity
                       Where the roses
                          grow so free
    
                      The fields of gold
                       the old dirt road
                   And the wind sounds
                    like a summer song

                 As the beautiful sunset
                       would slip away
                   The brightest stars
                  would come awake

                As I grew and learned
                    I realized the truth
                 Peace is in your heart
               but starts in your youth

(Little Violetear)

As you flutter and flap your wings
I see your beauty in the wind
You struggle to make your way
But this world is so unkind

Please  slow down little hummingbird
for the flowers will always be there
Look to the sky and release your pain
And there you’ll find your open door

Just when you think all the honey is gone
That’s when you wake up,stand and be strong
A beautiful young bird in the prime of her life
It will soon be time to sing your new song

So fly and be brave in this world so wrong
find the strength within and follow your heart
And stay on the path that leads to the sun
be true to your love ones and you won’t fall apart

( Beyond the blue )

               There is a place,
               That's full of truth
               Beyond this world,
               Beyond my youth.

               So as I stare,
               I long to be;
               Surrounded by,
               The peace I see.

               Surely touched,
               By Gods own hands
               Pure and free,
               As the desert sands.

               No clouds of sadness,
               No drops of rain;
               No childhood fears,
               No once of pain.

               I'm surely not,
               The only one;
               Who see's this beauty,
               Under the sun.

               So as I drift,
               A tear comes down;
               I feel the love,
               All around.

               There is a place,
               Where love is true;
               A distant place,
               Beyond the blue.

(The Lost Poet)


           His daddy‘s blood runs through his veins
                but will he pay for his fathers sins

              Detached as a child and lost within
                      is where his story begins.

              Tasting the devils water in his youth
                    it kept his soul in a prison cell

        He took the wrong road off of life’s highway
                    it made his future a living hell

           With no destination he wondered alone
                      fighting against the wind

           The music and the streets taught his ways
         as the lyrics developed in his soul and mind

                   He pours out his heart in words
                   to help the ones who can’t see

                 He may stay lost until the very end
                but one day he may find his destiny

(Out of the shadow)

You have locked your heart away
from tomorrows hope’s and dreams
You now live in your own darkness
and hiding from how the world seems

The safest way you learn to know
from the past that  life has showed you
But eventually it will eat your soul
And take the person you once knew

To trust ourselves is the only way
And don’t let them steal your joy
Always keep your faith to the very end
It will protect you when they try to destroy

The sun will shine again my friend
so you can come out of the shadows
You will see life’s beauty once again
then you will grow just like a rose

The Lost poet

(Good night)

Oh beautiful friend
It’s time to close your eyes

We will float in the darkness
with peace in our hearts
With no worry of sickness
nor Violence or force

We have found serenity
in the heart of silence
As we find our destiny

No more goodbye

(Angel in the Wind)

                                    As I look towards the clouds
                                      I feel a sadness in the air
                                      We’ve lost another friend
                                        and it never seems fair

                                           She will be missed
                                       She will be remembered
                                        her precious time here
                                       will always be treasured
                                                    
                                       Though If you stand still
                                           And face the wind
                                      You’ll feel a angel around
                                     And love deep down within

                               Now you’re in heaven with the rest
                                  shining your light down on us all
                                    As I look toward the clouds
                                      I can hear an angel call
                                
                                  Dedicated to Bobby

By The lost poet

(Beyond the waters)

I look to the sky and cried
but I will be okay
I had thought I had died
but it's just another day

I talked to my father today
as I always do
he said the sun won't stay away
and your time will soon be due

As I stand on the edge of a life
with nowhere to go
In one hand I hold my knife
the other my soul

His words echoed in my head
as I stared across the sea
I know I am not dead
but what's in store for me

I see hope beyond the waters
As the storm withers away
I cherish the words of my fathers
that I will shine another day

(Tomorrow’s Alive)

                   I think I see tomorrow
           So goodbye to you , yesterday
         Your full of darkness and sorrow
           And the Devil haunts as I pray

         I jump out of my shadowy grave
       and let the light touch my soul again
           I’m so afraid but I’ll be brave
             I will fight for my life friend

           Daddy taught me to be a man
           how to fall and to get back up
          Mama taught me to understand
      walk through life and keep my head up

      I say goodbye to the cold black cloud
              I don’t need your rain today
        The pain is gone and I’ll say it loud
         because I haven’t got time to play



The Lost Poet

(Finally)

The eyes of the wolf are tired
the end of the mist grows near
The call of the crow grows faint
but the vision of my soul grows clear

To all my brothers, I raise my hand
from all the world and not just blood
To all the ones who have been there
And has pulled me from the dark cold mud

I finally made it to the crossroads
my last decision on my own
All my fears they feed the fire
But I have to do this all alone

My love for life does grow strong
but we do not get another chance
Refusing to believe this is my final song
not quite ready for the last dance

(Out of the shadow)

You have locked your heart away
from tomorrows hope’s and dreams
You now live in your own darkness
and hiding from how the world seems

The safest way you learn to know
from the past that  life has showed you
But eventually it will eat your soul
And take the person you once knew

To trust ourselves is the only way
And don’t let them steal your joy
Always keep your faith to the very end
It will protect you when they try to destroy

The sun will shine again my friend
so you can come out of the shadows
You will see life’s beauty once again
then you will grow just like a rose

The Lost poet

(I’m sorry I Fell )

     I have fallen once again
     It doesn’t matter who or when
     It will always be on me
     This is what they want to see

      They will judge me on my past
      The last of the family outcast
      I don’t know which way to go
      It’s eating at my heart and my soul

      My body is growing weak
      I’m turning into a freak
      But I still will fight my fight
     Even if the future is not too bright

     I will try not to get the blues
    But it’s not easy walking in my shoes
    The real secrets I hold I cannot tell
    Once again, I’m really sorry that I fell


The Lost Poet

I grab onto the ledge
As a grip it tight
I can’t breathe
I’m losing my fight

I had a dream last night
of an old dirt road
It was an old junk truck
carrying a heavy load

As it came to the end
it slowly disappeared
First I didn’t understand
it was something I feared

Sometimes we have to let go
and feel the serpents kiss
Just remember to never say
I can’t do this

Here you go my friends  

                                            ( The Me Inside Me )

                                           before you are born.
                                             life can be hard
                                               life will be torn.

                                         Your born with things
                                           that dwell inside.
                                         Its a matter of time
                                          before they divide.

                                            you lose control
                                              of what is real .    
                                        there goes our minds
                                         here comes there pill.        
                                      
                                              I had to creat
                                            a deadly defence.
                                              Against myself
                                            at my on expense.
                                    
                                             I fought for years
                                              just to be free.
                                           But how do you fight
                                            the me inside me ?

Subject: ( I’ll Meet You There )
( I’ll Meet You There )

Across the fields of gold
I see my place of destiny
In my new world of calmness
I will finally find my serenity

Over the shining sea I go
with my wings of pearl white
I’ll fly off into the nights sky
and drift away into the moons light

My spirit within helps me believe
in a world beyond what we see
Across the mountains where I grew up
my soul,it fly’s so high and free

I will meet you there my friend
when the world pushes you away
I know I’ll see you there old friend
and like the old times we can play

No More sorrow no more pain
In this new beautiful world I’ll know
Hope to see the rainbow bridge
And all the streets will glow

The Lost Poet

As the morning mist
          drifts away to die
        It’s just another day
       with a tear in her eye

          She is growing older
     but still don’t understand
       Why her life feels like
         an empty wasteland

            She does not see
         the good in her past
         Then thought her life
              is going to fast

     When she came to realize
  tears are shared by everyone
  She learned to except her life
         until her time is done

                     The haunting rain
                    brings in the dawn
                 Another nomadic night
               now his dreams are gone

                   His body feels old
                the pain don’t go away
               The days long and cold
                he feels his spirit decay

                     The edge is near
                 he feels it in his mind
                  There’s nothing  left
                   Oh the hand of time

                Much to wise to let go
                his soul stands strong
               But every path he takes
               seems narrow and long

                  His beliefs grow weak
                they crumble like a leaf
              Every morning that comes
                      Is far from  relief

               With blood on his hands
               but strength from above
                He will follow it through
                 with the power of love

(Unknown heart)

Mirror mirror on the wall
why does my heart have to fall
It feels like it hurts beyond repair
to trust again I do not dare

As I look further into my soul
Is something there in this black hole
A peaceful light that shines of gold
as I watched it’s beauty unfold

Oh mirror mirror there on the wall
Could it be my hearts not broken at all
It seems so strong and full of life
It shines so loud and so bright

I know now what God has given me
a beautiful heart that longs to be free
Without all the pain and false promises
and within myself is where it is

( Wolf and the Raven )

                                     Our mystery is no surprise
                                  You are my feet , I am your eyes
                                Ride with me till the mountains end
                                
                                         Our blood will flow red
                                          You will fly,I will tread
                                 Go soar the sky’s my ebony friend

                                 Our spirits together will travel far
                                  We will follow the northern star
                                Our love for life will show us the way

                             Although we carry a different blood line
                               I will guard your life as you will mine
                              We’ll search the night to find our prey

(I Will be Alone)


I will be alone
When the pipes come calling
Down to the bone
when the cold wind blows

I will forever wonder
with my pen in my hand
I will write my poetry
for the world to understand

I will not be afraid
As I walk through the shadows
I will stand alone
for the calling of the crows

I will reunite
with the ones who have passed
I will stand on the mountain
and be free at last


The Lost Poet

( In this Life )

                                          With every life there's an end
                                            in between we try to blend
                                         We blame God on real sad days
                                         So are we really rats in a maze

                                             We try to find who we are
                                        But some times we stray to far
                                              In the dark we find desire
                                         We find our sins and Hells fire
  
                                           If we're wise we find our place
                                        With Gods love we'll find his grace
                                             But we all live under the sun
                                        We share our sadness and our fun

How long have I been here
in this cold and dark abyss
I here the haunting sirens cry
and felt the evil serpents kiss

Somewhere along my journey
I must have fallen from the ship
Into an icy,frozen hell
into this God Forsaken crypt

The water is growing darker
now the heavens is what I seek
No one can save my self but me
though I have grown very weak

The pressure is starting to build
I’m slowly slipping away
I feel this warmth coming over me
the first time in my life I’m not afraid

As I drift into my icy grave
I feel my angels,cover me
As I take my last watery breath
they carry me away from the sea

( The cry of a poet )

                  I write these words to  ease my pain
                                to fill my hollow soul

             They rise from a place were peace is lost
                               a place you dare to go

                     These sleepless nights I lie awake
                               as I drift into my past

            These trembling hands they grow so week
                              I pray that they will last

                  As time stands still I take a breath
                        and scream into the night
                 When the darkness fades I feel relief
                              as I see the morning light

                       Once again I made it through
                          But never will it be in vain
                   I'll continue on this lonesome ride
                      And forever will I chase the rain

(Call Of the Crow)

                                     As I walked through a moon lit field
                                                 In a old familiar dream
                                          I heard a cry of a lonely crow
                                          In the distance near a stream

                                             As I stared I come to see
                                  The vision on witch he brought to me
                                              In his eyes my future lies
                                     And a glimpse of my past as it dies

                                                   I saw fire , I saw Ice
                                              I saw souls pay the price
                                       But my destiny was not as clear
                                         As I grew closer I felt no fear

                                           I saw a ship as it sailed away
                                           standing beside a windy bay
                                               As it drifted out of sight
                                     Is when his eyes turned dark as night

                                          Before I woke he spoke to me
                                        He said, in myself I must believe
                                         No matter what may go wrong
                                   Always look up and always be strong

                                      I know some day I'll find the truth
                                  Of the sacred stories within my youth
                                  Dreams may come and dreams may go
                                     I'll never forget the call of the crow

No where to go
                                 but his spirit's free
                                   Trying to escape
                        from a world that left him lonely

                   With thoughts  of what he  left behind
                             or what may lay in store
                            He drifts from town to town
                             and floats along the shore

                            Serenity, a place he seeks
                              from life, he cannot hide
                           Forever,  he'll chase the wind
                         and forever, he'll follow the tide
                                  
                            A friend,  he'll be for a while
                                    A lover, for a night
                             With one blink he'll be gone
                                before the morning light
                                    
                      ­       He may leave a trail of tears
                          But he knows he can't look back
                            He may rest from time to time
                             But his bag he won't unpack

                            His shadow is his only friend
                                    a man on the run
                        Some may say they knew him well
                         but his number will always be one
                                  

The Lost Poet

We are all human
       Our blood is still red
      The things that we do
      lives forever in our head

   We share our brothers pain
      when he can’t forgive us
      We now carry the world
      When he loses our trust

     We hold our own actions
      So we bleed deep inside
         But if we walk away
      Our friendship will divide

          The weak can’t let go
        they will forever hold on
        They will live in the dark
        and never find the dawn
    
         Please don’t walk away
         with hate in your heart
          We ask for forgiveness
        and for a brand new start

The Lost poet

The cry of a coyote at night
                       sounds like a sad goodbye
               His cries echoed through the night
                         as he stairs up to the sky
                    
                          Coyote,can I join you
                      I want to say goodbye too
                      I want to be wild and free
              Please coyote can you run with me
                          
               We are creatures of the lonelynight
                         as the stars shine above
              Just two predators that roam the dark
                   all where searching for is love
                                
               As I laid there on the cold wetground
                      and his howling fades away
            I know it's time for me to go backhome
                        As the night turns to day

{Eyes of a Wolf}

The predator in me keeps me alive
I run with no pack,my spirit is free
With my animal instinct I will survive
In the forest I prey and along the sea

The blood on my fangs shows I’m alert
if you see me alone don’t come near
Sun on my back,I sleep in the dirt
no matter what I show no fear

The cold freezing nights I talk to the moon
but sadness in my voice as I scream to the sky
Living on the move I stay in tune
I’m not a friend,so please beware of my war cry

The mystery of my life will always be there
I think like a man with hunters breath
My sacred heart, I will take care
In the night I’ll do the dance of death

As I drift away into the mist
and follow my shadow alone
When I reach my final quest
You will here in my final moan

(This is me)

               I breath the air into my lungs
               As a million times before
               So many years of drug filled nights
               I woke up on the floor

               My prisons deep inside myself
               My spirits locked within
               I don't know where I'm headed now
               Don't even know where I've been

               The hands I've held on lonely nights
               And all the  hearts I've broke
               The pride I've  lost on dead end streets
               And all the things I would smoke

               I live through the music and rock n roll
               My life is just a  song
               Although i never had control
               Some how I stayed strong

               My belief is a reflection on who I am
               I was born in the devils den
               I would always try to stay on track
               But I would ***** it up again and again

              Never happy with who I am
              always felt so empty
              You think it would be easy to change
              I'm sorry but this is me
