Once upon a time
A life was lost in the midst of lies
Truths were not told as they should
And wars began
Pain turned into a mistress all were doomed with
Each home was slayed with loss
A life was stolen among the good
To be found again only an act of truth
Could unleash the power of all things good
For truth is the only key
Of peace, love and action
And only in times of war
Can truth be set as the winning prize
To set a drop of water
Into an ocean of flames
And drown the pain of death
With the sparks of hope
Hope for a brave soul
Aiming for peace
And hoping for a better tomorrow.
She held her hands open in surrender
Did not flinch as death ignited through her body
Like a velvet blanket it covered her
Draping its dark shadows upon her open hands

Once upon a time
A little girl died
Killed by the misshapes of the world she lived in
*Hope bloomed

Sometimes it seems as if in my dreams there were someone suffocating me.
like trying to stop me from taking flight
and reaching heights where I want to be.
I cant help but think......and think....annnnnd think
that, this is my dream
so must this be me??
i mean really who else could it be?
It manifests and person acting in a way that's material
...every single time it makes me feel inferior
When it wakes me up I stare through a broken mirror
and I say to myself
"You could have been a bit clearer"
I feel like in waking life
the same kind of thin happens
Like little reminders, things I should caption
I pay attention, you could call it a talent
Much to often I'm open and fiery with passion
so suddenly i snap when something misshapes
Is someone trying to trap me?
it won't happen
I'm a beast, I'm a dragon.
I open my wings and I soar to the clouds
there's no possible way you can get me to come down
the only thing that I fear here are Planes....
& becoming the dragon is my only escape.
The system's not designed for you or me
it's made for those we'd like to be,
Oh yes!
I said it, the system read it and
I move one step up the ladder.

I can't stand it
it's too much like a
one armed bandit,
you think you'll win
and so pop in
another example of
what you're made from,
the wheels spin and
spit your answer out
wrong,

Try again.

that can't go wrong
can it?

The hand I hold belongs
to a voice that says,
I told you,
Try again.

Think what pains
a flame must endure:

trapped in a lantern

Inexorable gusts misshapes its form
like dead clay in uncaring hands -
pure self-found victim,
so surely estranged.

****** to winds and shimmers,
alone in the dark;
Bright auburn eyes that seek
stares itself apart.

A million souls to a flame
sharing warmth in vast night

each too blind to the others light.

and worst of all
they blame themselves,
Insecure and in doubt,
pretending they're alone.

Arrogance plays second to their
greatest offense -

ignoring love, their truest sin.

Surrender and bond with your inner self, breathe deeply
accept the moment that has been given to you and share
the inner circles of your positive energy, be yourself  

Immerse your thoughts in beautiful light and re-incarnate
with your present concept, it is there to teach you how
to live freely, without ties to earth dramas and misshapes

Repeat your mantra " I am potential " and enter into bliss
flower your thoughts and vine them to your corporal light
breathe in the oneness of the Universe and breathe out

Water your senses with peaceful rhythm and like water
move gently into the waves of contentment one breath
at a time...  Time erased, you are a nanosecond away,
Cityscapes
all of them misshapes
not one of them mistakes
who protects these devilish
architects?

We're being fed on the drippings from a rainbow
while they're getting ****** in the
Admiral Benbow

these pirates,  they don't give a ****
you've just got to look and it all looks
like Tetris.

We'll end up as skin and bones
and frozen too
because we can't afford to heat our
homes

it could be a plan
get rid of the old and the weak
and make way for the superman

you don't think so?

don't think that you're working today
for less pay(in real terms)
than you worked for a year ago?

made in the image of monsters.
