"premonitions" poems
The pathway to the hidden falls, greenest trees and ivy walls, Humid day and rain a threat, Forest living, thick and wet. Pebbles on this path to be, Never ending, fast to me. Flip flops make an obstacle, For me to keep the pace we go. The peach in hand is almost eaten, When roaring waters reveal this Eden, The water falls so quick approaching seems to stick my memory's poaching. We climb the uphill train of rocks, more like boulders, need for socks, Majesty miracle's tickle my senses, Like watching babe ruth swing for the fences. Something here is overpowering behind the force field something is flowering, Wet smooth rocks lay geometric, something alive and something electric. Native American premonitions, Thoughts of the beginning of all of this swishin', Waterfall dreams sparkle like diamonds, Foam and water, slippery minded. Brain chemical explosion. Somethings been bound. Something is gone something I found Burned in my imagination is this place that I visited on my vacation.

Waterfall Dreamland Memories of Yesterday
Oizys, son From behind the leaves, I saw you, trembling In your presence, your power strengthening In the empty, midnight parking lot While the street lights hummed And moths danced around your illuminated frame You turned slowly, onyx eyes of shame And dirtied bare feet, male hair long and white The street lights flickered when you blinked and cried bitterly And I saw, for my first time, the eyes of Misery Achyls, daughter You were in an empty field No premonitions did you wield An ancient silo in the distance Leaning over a chasm black lamb Dark skinned, dressed in black robes With tribal painted face Digging earthen fingers into its black lace When you looked up, I saw your cloudy eyes Churning of a storm, cataract yet wise Your lamb had absent vapored eyeballs The Mist of Death made my skin crawl Hypnos, son Secluded in a cave by the sea A silent, empty place to be While gray waves crash into jetties The clouds gather in the distance Poppies at the mouth changing time in an instance I go in your palace and rub my cold skin For pulsing blue glows from deeper within You, a lanky youth, with thick brown hair and heavy eyes Sit there with a paper mask Illuminated by the penetrating glow In the center, surrounded by whale bones Humming a song I remember fondly You trapped me in your Dreams, singing lullabies softly Eris, daughter Violates a bedroom with utmost hate There are paintings of kings and statues of satyrs Pillows of silk and animals on the walls Usurping the gold clawed palace Silent but kicking and throwing with malice With black skin covered in a chalky white substance I peek through the crack in the mansion’s door Lips formed in a silent shout, you notice my presence Naked and bruised and plagued with no voice Suddenly stops and lays against a ****** wall Through your electric black hair And fiery red stare I witness a Child of Spite Woman of Strife Nyx, mother I am a crawling shadow of trees And wicked heart of night I am the wax on the cold leaves And the glow of the moon’s light

Primordial Children of Nyx
Oizys, son From behind the leaves, I saw you, trembling In your presence, your power strengthening In the empty, midnight parking lot While the street lights hummed And moths danced around your illuminated frame You turned slowly, onyx eyes of shame And dirtied bare feet, male hair long and white The street lights flickered when you blinked and cried bitterly And I saw, for my first time, the eyes of Misery Achyls, daughter You were in an empty field No premonitions did you wield An ancient silo in the distance Leaning over a chasm black lamb Dark skinned, dressed in black robes With tribal painted face Digging earthen fingers into its black lace When you looked up, I saw your cloudy eyes Churning of a storm, cataract yet wise Your lamb had absent vapored eyeballs The Mist of Death made my skin crawl Hypnos, son Secluded in a cave by the sea A silent, empty place to be While gray waves crash into jetties The clouds gather in the distance Poppies at the mouth changing time in an instance I go in your palace and rub my cold skin For pulsing blue glows from deeper within You, a lanky youth, with thick brown hair and heavy eyes Sit there with a paper mask Illuminated by the penetrating glow In the center, surrounded by whale bones Humming a song I remember fondly You trapped me in your Dreams, singing lullabies softly Eris, daughter Violates a bedroom with utmost hate There are paintings of kings and statues of satyrs Pillows of silk and animals on the walls Usurping the gold clawed palace Silent but kicking and throwing with malice With black skin covered in a chalky white substance I peek through the crack in the mansion’s door Lips formed in a silent shout, you notice my presence Naked and bruised and plagued with no voice Suddenly stops and lays against a ****** wall Through your electric black hair And fiery red stare I witness a Child of Spite Woman of Strife Nyx, mother I am a crawling shadow of trees And wicked heart of night I am the wax on the cold leaves And the glow of the moon’s light

A sign we are, without meaning Without pain we are and have nearly Lost our language in foreign lands, For when the heavens quarrel Over humans and moons proceed In force, the sea Speaks out and rivers must find Their way. But there is One, Without doubt, who Can change this any day. He needs No law. The rustle of leaf and then the sway of oaks Besides glaciers. Not everything Is in the power of the gods. Mortals would sooner Reach toward the abyss. With them The echo turns. Though the time Be long, truth Will come to pass. But what we love? We see sunshine On the floor and motes of dust And the shadows of our native woods and smoke Blooms from rooftops, at peace beside Turrets' ancient crowns; for the signs Of day are good if a god has scarred The soul in response. Snow like lilies of the valley, Signifying a site Of nobility, half gleams With the green of the Alpine meadow Where, talking of a wayside cross Commemorating the dead, A traveler climbs in a rage, Sharing distant premonitions with The other, but what is this? By the figtree My Achilles died And Ajax lies By the grottoes of the sea, By streams, with Scamandros as neighbor. In the persisting tradition of Salamis, Great Ajax died Of the roar in his temples And on foreign soil, unlike Patroclos, dead in king's armor. And many Others also died. On Kithairon Lay Eleutherai, city of Mnemosyne. And when God cast off his cloak, the darkness came to cut Her lock of hair. For the gods grow Indignant if a man Not gather himself to save His soul, yet he has no choice; like- Wise, mourning is in error. Friedrich Holderlin translated by Richard Sieburth

Beauty comes a dime a dozen Sliding through the cracks Sticky change if you ask me But I don't check the facts I'm a penny-pinching prophet All premonitions made out to cash My fingers dig between the floorboards But there are some things I can't grasp

Sticky Change
A worst-case-scenario mentality Breeds emotional nightmares of what-ifs Methodically feeling the pain in each possibility Preparing for Hell, knowing it is impractical, improbable, and unkind Each reaction gauged Smiles erupt in each better choice A familiar road traveled often Lead only by a history of pain It ebbs and flows, bobs and weaves at will This reality is organized, easy to understand Random thought of an unlikely, unfathomable future **Vivid like a film Unwavering, persistent There is no control**ling its outcome Forced to watch the images forged in a broken mind Tears burn flesh and a naked heart bleeds Stop rolling, just...stop No amount of pleading slows the images The pain is overwhelming Far beyond self-inflicted, torturous, methodical thoughts Uncontrollable, inconsolable True and real So very real There is but one way to stop that future The one shown in visions of just deserts The future that smolders through present joy Preemptive pain is just not an option I've seen the future my heart has built **The shards of a shattered soul Offer no comfort** My worst-case-scenario was but a benign freckle on the elbow of a body invaded by metastatic melanoma

My Cancerous Soul (or Premonitions, Predestination, Psychosis, and me) spoken word
Heed these words, write them upon the tablet of your mind for I have returned. When you finally come to the point in your life and comprehend that the dreams with which you have been bestowed are to be used as a blueprint, you then and only then will win remarkable success in what ever calling that you adopt. You will begin to visualize things with a much greater understanding and you will experience sights stranger than you have ever seen before. You will know that these new visions are all true, for you will see that you have been given the ability to pick out and notice clusters of confirmations and on an imaginary scale. The fear of premonitions and ignoring notable occurrences by dismaying them all off as if they are just figments of your imagination is to be avoided. It is not out of random chance, the thought that things are bound to line up from time to time and for no apparent reason or that evolution had a major impact on us to evolve into begins to recognize pattern recognition, but rather, it is to be construed as if you have been blessed with the gift of foresight and you will notice that you are able to think and speak things into existence. Never again will you live with the fear of the unknown for you will know all. The truth of all things will manifest themselves and be disclosed to you in a vivid clear contrast. There will be many people who will find it extremely difficult to interpret what is being explained to them and in the process they will then start to display that they are trapped within there own gridlocked mind and be confused with just your mere presence. You will find that people who do not understand you will then try to get you to conform to what they see, ignore them. Life is but an enigma, one that is full of complex-ed riddles, when you accept to follow your dreams and with an open objective you will then have the opportunity to harness all its power and in return all the pieces of the puzzle will be spread out for you for your taking. Once you find the first piece, you then will be given the license required to take part of this phenomenon so you can complete life's grander picture found outside the ivory tower. You will know with all certainty that you are not dreaming and that what you are witnessing is not a mirage, that is until, the silver cord be loosed, after that, when death finds its way to sting and the grave can then claim its victory, welcome and accept a Re"quies'cat In Pa'ce. As always, Welcome to the show!

The raven is my eye in the sky Swift and stealthy, She cuts through the clouds Her song rings in premonitions Forewarning and foreshadowing Any luck or omen that might meet me The wolf and her pack are my ears Listening for the buzzing in the forest Striding through the leaves with discipline She knows by the look in her eyes By the fierce smile and sharp teeth That she has my respect, and we are the same.

The Raven & the Wolf
She don't wanna speak to me. Me mind is hidden under a cloud of darkness. Dere's a feelin' of inner struggle. I must release reggae. spliiiiiff I rise out of me bed in terror. Me dreamt of a lonely island boy, lost at sea. Could you imagine, no friends, no food. No reggae release. spliiiiiff I'm trapped in a reggae box I can hear me boy screamin', but I can't find 'im. I call for 'im, "JACO! JACO, MY YOUT!" I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff The room is a maze, no exit. Could me premonitions be true? Could me boy truly be lost? No reggae release. spliiiiiff Me vision's too cloudy. All to be seen is rat-like faces, cringing. Their snouts snort and sneer to a reggae beat. I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff The floor falls from under me. A lizard's heavy gizzard appears below. Crooked, sharp teeth shining tru de dark. No reggae release. spliiiiiff Colours upon colours. An indigo man stabs, then rapes a magenta woman. Until the reds, and greens, and blues, explode from her stomach. I must release de reggae. spliiiiiff I catch me breath. I'm in me room. Safe and sound. Jeez, what a bad trip, still?

I the river                           soars like sun white horses galloping, shimmering, glistening the gallop a harmony of cacophony to my listening eyes what an idyllic                            sky pink-azure bringing excellence to rest. tomorrow the white river horses will fly like jazz to my listening eyes II half stuttered premonitions ease at sight of indigo accented flowers.                   in goat land, clouds turn                   to white wisps of doves. the mountain                             is                                    with us a chipmunk at the summit makes waves through the landscape dancing like a tambourine wishes and hopes curl around my face enveloping me in Washington air I see you looking at the chipmunk and smile like           really nice,           your                     smile                                 is           really really           nice

Skokomish River Summit
A series of gestures & looks hidden between words in our composition books As we study the opposite situation We have the right page lifted in anticipation The story is intriguing to be honest We hang on to every letter as if written words couldn't lie. When in fact,they make the lie permanent. To be truthful, we speak in winks and flutters of the eye. It is a language we never wanted to learn, speaking in premonitions. It frightens us like an unlucky number A common and uncanny superstition So we watch happiness from the corner with an odd sociological perspective. The trends we notice make us loners. Lovers without an object of affection.

We Speak In
To walk among the living cursed to be the dead I understand the fear inside because I bathe in dread and to sleep a peaceful night with fate dancing on my head leaves a taste of rotting premonitions upon my tongue instead *Beware of your surroundings wash the evil off your hands We are no longer safe from Satan he has kissed the promised land And when war ceased to erase the common fault of man There will be an entire wave of famine birthed from the smallest grain of sand*

The Curse
This path on which I've come so far, It has neglected my condition and left me tired. The fire within is fleeting like a dim star As these legs move like thinned wires. Premonitions of the precognitive sort Project into my dearest slumbers To lend a communicative report Concerning the sweetest of encounters. But that future seems so far away And my will to move forward May waver towards the end of days. Yet happenstance will show me my way, She hardly leads the lost astray.

If you truly are a time traveler, as I expect you are, then can we please meet again, after this life is over, because we both know this one goes too fast, and we both know good things never last, and we both know that there are no guarantees, that there is ever going to be a next time, so tell me, one thing that actually matters, and don’t tell me Salsa, because I already know you’re a dancer, but it’s not your body I want to see move, it’s your soul that I want to tango with, and I know the unknown can be scary, but there’s something alluring about the danger zone, so let’s take it there, let’s spin that globe and take that flight, because even though we might be time travelers, we still can not stop time, and you can not control the future, nor can you completely foresee it, even if you get premonitions, and the occasional hint, here’s a hint, I love you, and I don’t mean that, in the way you’re used to, I’m in love with your soul, and I could care less about your body, I am not one of those men, that thinks you’re just a feast for the eyes, I see you, I mean I really see you, I see through all your pretensions, and right to the real you, “What is the real me?”, I know that’s what you want to ask, but how can I explain, your infiniteness in a sentence, see I see that disguise you wear, that **** Mystery Girl’ disguise, but you leave hints who’s the true you, so when you finally expose your soul I won’t be surprised, you can’t fool me, and I refuse to be distracted by those legs of yours, and I accept all of you I just have one question, if you are a time traveler can we meet again after this is all over? ∆ Aaron LA Lux ∆

Your generation is defined by definitions. 'This generation', this new-fangled bunch of hooligans Cut out and put in the oven, Lives pre-formed, based on premonitions, Put into the system and cranked out Made up of numbers and tests that really define who you are. 'This generation' that you have given a set of rules A set of molds to fit into To pour their lives out and 'better the world' Shaped with your all-knowing tools Scissors that cut funding to the parts that maybe, Perhaps, might make them an individual. Because here, no, here we don't have room for individuality But we sure have room for this assembly Your freedom of religion, speech, and freedom to assemble No room for that, for fear of immorality We don't have time for originals, we don't have time for strays I'm sorry that you've got ideas, Generation Y But this is the generation of time constraints. We've got technology to innovate, an ozone to fit Communities to build and lives put at risk But that's not as important as what's in the now No, not as important as these tucks and nips We've got to put you under the needle Even after we swore, 'first do no harm', But this isn't going to hurt, I swear Well, maybe not on the outside. Look here, Y, you'd be better off compliant To fix our computers and drive our trucks To turn off your TVs and just trust us To read the chapter and finish the assignment Because to us, you all learn the same, To us you are still just a number Even if you think you're out when you graduate. So what, you graduated the system, And it's done it's work on you Have your daddy pick the college and your mama pick the sheets Pack your bags, you're ready for the big world And that's exactly what we made you think. Generation Y, you are fitting into the molds we gave you We tried to crank you out in groups of 300 And we did You were never allowed to be original And you weren't. Generation Y, this cookie-cutter, uniform 'Glued to technology', uninterested Group of 'stupid' teenagers You were forced to unify And forced into corrals, thereby, Forced into lives we've blessed you with. I swear, by my very intelligence That we're good by you, good by the world In evaluating what we need Where we need people Hopefully creating a society less-gnarled Generation Y, you may hate the population But you are the population And you are what we told you to be. Your lives were pre-formed from day one, So, please, Sit down, shut up, finish your definitions, And stop asking why.

Flesh on flesh. Eyes watch eyes Following fingers round curvatures. Caressing skin. Skin on skin. Flesh in flesh. A gin-sung-dream – Silent utterances from the dark-side of a candlestick. An unsung overture to Nature’s greatest gift And Nature’s perfect curse. Lips pursed open, speechless. Breathless. Wide-white eyes scream STOP. blink. GO ON. Glances flash between the flickers of candlelight , Meeting unknown looks in the black. Bodies Embrace, writing words that have their own Music. Heard only by its two composers. Everywhere the other wishes to be – Vivacity. Revelling in promiscuity. Obscurity. Strangers share a warmth As old as the ages. A wafer-thin knife-edge of meaning. Gin-song dreaming. An opaque tonic For loneliness. Hands in hands, heart fleeting. The perfect curse of Man In the stroking of skin. Later, a vague sound of water, a towel A drawer closing – a door latch clicks. The world floods back. Through the curtains, Through the drainpipes Your fleeting heart sheepishly returns, Aching like a hangover. Too much gin. The momentary tonic wears off. Heart in hand, Hand to head. Candlelit premonitions return. Heated flesh. Arching backs. Fingers through hair… Salty fingers through oily hair and Blood-red-wine lipstick smudges and A singeing waxy smell makes you reel To the window for air. And there you are again, In the middle of a city that knows you More than your Alcoholic Lover, A Melancholic Mother to all your needs, Except the one you tried to soothe A few hours back. The one you pine for. The one you lack. Oh, this Humdrum City Rushing you, with your heart in your hand, off your feet. And your heart in the street And the gin in your glass Whenever you meet Whoever it is that might Make you complete… A vague sound of water, a towel, A candle extinguished, a door hinge creeks. Wafer-thin. Flesh on flesh. A belt buckle rings, a zip A drawer closing, a door latch clicks. The door latch clicks. The door latch clicks.

Flesh On Flesh
Flesh on flesh. Eyes watch eyes Following fingers round curvatures. Caressing skin. Skin on skin. Flesh in flesh. A gin-sung-dream – Silent utterances from the dark-side of a candlestick. An unsung overture to Nature’s greatest gift And Nature’s perfect curse. Lips pursed open, speechless. Breathless. Wide-white eyes scream STOP. blink. GO ON. Glances flash between the flickers of candlelight , Meeting unknown looks in the black. Bodies Embrace, writing words that have their own Music. Heard only by its two composers. Everywhere the other wishes to be – Vivacity. Revelling in promiscuity. Obscurity. Strangers share a warmth As old as the ages. A wafer-thin knife-edge of meaning. Gin-song dreaming. An opaque tonic For loneliness. Hands in hands, heart fleeting. The perfect curse of Man In the stroking of skin. Later, a vague sound of water, a towel A drawer closing – a door latch clicks. The world floods back. Through the curtains, Through the drainpipes Your fleeting heart sheepishly returns, Aching like a hangover. Too much gin. The momentary tonic wears off. Heart in hand, Hand to head. Candlelit premonitions return. Heated flesh. Arching backs. Fingers through hair… Salty fingers through oily hair and Blood-red-wine lipstick smudges and A singeing waxy smell makes you reel To the window for air. And there you are again, In the middle of a city that knows you More than your Alcoholic Lover, A Melancholic Mother to all your needs, Except the one you tried to soothe A few hours back. The one you pine for. The one you lack. Oh, this Humdrum City Rushing you, with your heart in your hand, off your feet. And your heart in the street And the gin in your glass Whenever you meet Whoever it is that might Make you complete… A vague sound of water, a towel, A candle extinguished, a door hinge creeks. Wafer-thin. Flesh on flesh. A belt buckle rings, a zip A drawer closing, a door latch clicks. The door latch clicks. The door latch clicks.

Hotel sex—of neighbours dealing in services, buying into the idea of momentary love by the high purchases. It's like swerving in traffic, avoiding real love and looking for some action. Well out here relaxing, feels **** fun. Sort of tragic, but these are the ways things happen. _Imagines._ On the other side, the creep behind the hole in the wall. The married husband, setting up a ***** call. She's a young girl, and a ****** to all—of what it costs to make it big. He's not so big, but will drive into her like a heavy rig. Pay her off, call a cab to take her back home. Rinse himself, spray a little cologne to cover up his immorals. And switch his clothes. What she doesn't know, won't hurt his wife at all. Sort of tragic, but these are the ways things happen. _Imagines._ But she's in another room downstairs, getting tongue licks downstairs—downtown. The young man isn't to proud, at least with the fact he wasn't the first one pointing her down his south. The fresh taste of adultery in their mouth—his pants are half down. His business is hanging out; ready to close the deal of an interesting affair. Then he'll kiss his girlfriend back at their house. I know she's cheating on me too. Sort of tragic, but these are the ways things happen. _Imagines._ The cheating girlfriend is actually over eating in another room alone. With shoes off, to stand herself and her weight. Running to the bathroom with a finger down her throat. A little choke, and upbringing those distasteful words. Her body isn't her worth, and doesn't feel like the one she deserves. Sort of tragic, but these are the ways things happen. _Imagines._ These are the dark rooms, of all the stories in my head. A couple stories high, to keep me up on my bed. They turn into dreams, or have been premonitions for a later reality as it seems.                                                                      _Who really knows?_

IV Before your work you sit, so still as in a painting by Hammershøi (Isa’s hair, so like your own). Beyond the desk, the bay window stretches your gaze to the fox-frequented garden, the hedged less-leaved beech, the un-blossomed pear. Now, in the mind’s eye, your son, your daughter bed-bound in a doorway: (a tender moment witnessed) then the silent grace, the shared meal. V   Night falls and done for the day the violins unravel. Only on a brittle guitar, a Prelude: Subtle Mysteries of Sleep.   As you close your eyes tomorrow beckons (in a list), and thinking backwards: the nettle soup tale; a birthday cake adventure; breakfast on the patio with sunshine.   Premonitions? Perhaps. But in yesterday’s paper a shock of poetry, plants the seeds of blank verse - no pointers given (save these folded words).     VI     That evening I asked the questions, and later you said: ‘If I’d not wanted to tell you I wouldn’t have’. I’d already guessed. I knew.   out in the garden a sunny day skuddering clouds white as the blossom left and loose leaving lightness   That evening, as the minutes ticked away, I seemed at last to see you entire, even your quiet hands.

The Origami Letters (part II)
New day, with dawn of rising sun off the docks, cruising towards horizon light and breezy all, felt like blessed by Poseidon Skinny dipping for happiness, hope I find some. Many I got bon voyage, many I curses, many were on board, many kraken lurks. Head straight, high sail, ignored all, focused on right trail. Pleasant journey until now, premonitions around, dark clouds, high tide, ensuing panic in crowd, blinded became Travis, undermined the upcoming crisis Darkness engulfed, realized too late, next moment...   **** hit the fan down came the rain, followed by storm and a huge hurricane. Bulldozed through, but that's just iceberg's tip, it's gonna be titanic soon, already feel like losing grip. Beyond horizon, can't see, calm sea or whirlpool will there be. All I know, strength of these sails, sailors and that mysterious gentle gale.

Voyage...
Ice blue eyes Sharp as the serrated edges of a chainsaw blade Carving my frozen heart To conform to your fringerprints Feather soft lips Rose colored by nature Speak words of silk To dress my **** perception Of what happiness could be Golden straw hair The farmer of flowing cornstalks They bloom the scent of revival A harvest moon illuminates their beauty Wine bubbles burst Pops replaced with giggling A drunken serenade To pull whiskey breathed sailors Near their soon sunken imagination Premonitions showing their fantasy A toast to the woman Who shall teach bronze haired children With her brilliance Coupled with cunning of their father May she be happy in my dreams Where she has yet to emerge From it's dreary depths

Christmas Weather In Ocean Canyon Crevasses
The ceiling fan makes a comforting noise As it whirs gently, with the premonition That winter is near She sits up hesitantly, somewhat afraid That there might be something there She just woke up from one of those nightmares She could barely control her breathing Fear and anxiety painted in her eyes She's almost used to it, or so she thinks, Till it happens again She begins to shake just a bit Almost subtly She doesn't want- need- to think Any more She switches on another one of those gizmos Whiles her night away So she doesn't have to sleep She doesn't need to go back To those **** nightmares A chill runs down her spine But she turns up the music a little louder She doesn't dare to cry Scared of being heard, Scared of acknowledging That which lies silent, looming ahead In the darkness She doesn't want to because Once she does, it would be tougher To tell herself that they Hardly matter That they are not premonitions Of the future

Psychic
As every direction goes on for good... so one can stop and notice the directionless-- desire needs plenty of room. There's no placing this world, it refuses comparison...as all-we-know informs all-we-know. Fiercely independent, this towering light, this towering dark, that bathes our private corner of understanding... premonitions of peace when nothing comes to light but Light.

Corner of Understanding
The sky has darkened, filled with clouds a violent, jagged black. Night has shifted. Thundering, shattering across the vast horizon. St. Michael, the Archangel. Defend us in battle. The dream has given way to nightmares. Day retreats to night. This battle is just another variation of my own jaded reality. I’m having a conflict of interest. Who will make it out alive? Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. I need it now. No shield to protect. Dreams burned white hot into the back of accepting consciousness. Scarred from memories. Unforgiving supernatural spirits working behind the veil of what is and what is to be. May God rebuke him, We humble pray. And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God. These premonitions are growing in the shadows of self-doubt. Breeding self-destruction. I must remember better times. If it is to be than what can be done. Predetermined outcomes wait at the tipping point between this world and the gates of Hell. Fire whipping through air sapping life from all forms. Red glow blinding. Suffering , with a fleeting hope. I must not forget what past has presented. What future holds… Only when it is accepted that the calloused hands of Fate hold the fragile strings. Can I truly be free… From? ****** into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits. Oh, the ending is coming. If I could only wake up from this haunting. Eyes closed, listening to the music of life. Watching bright light overcome the coal black distress. Who prowl about the World seeking the ruin of souls. I can make it. The time to be idle has passed! This battle will turn into all out war. When all one must do is be the best person they can be. I can And will. I must. Amen.
