End
Spirits roam and despise
May we rise
Just to fall
As humanity tries
To leap for skies
Before the crawl
In our eyes
Small tears of lies
Abandoning us all
As the last man dies
Our final dream flies
Forever death reigns tall

You see those words on your phone?
The ones that pop up as suggestions
Before you type something
The stories they tell
And the pain they hold
Of the words we use most
That we'll never get back
These are mine
I.                        Love.                   You.
Let me know what yours say.

Why is it the rain pours harder
when you're not around
Shattering droplets
Piercing every last thought
Morphing these old habits
With new ideas
Thunderous clatter used to bring me peace
Now I lay awake
Shuttering as the pulse of vibrations
Shake my existence
Like a frail cat searching for peace
I can no longer calm this aching heart
Nor these shaking hands
Under streams of the moon's beaming light
I fail to hide away
Searching for you in the night
As to calm my battered soul
I will search on, Until the day
Our warm touch meets again

For a thought, jump for the sky
Remember living but do not cry
Silky wisps of air pass on by
Vision is useless, don't even try
Feel your spirit like a thought of trance
Twirl on, twirl on as if your last dance
Fight to expand from the crushing grip
Spare no memories from your final trip
Be as one that is, not to shatter away
As time will halt masterfully as you stay
Eons pass along with your beautiful flow
Just flicker ever so often with that faint glow
Cutting into our minds like a knife
Watch on, as you give us your life.

Run
My dearest
Entangled in my thoughts
Keeper of my heart
Where have you run To?
An impression lingers
Beside me on this empty bed
Yet I know it will eventually fade
Just as our love had
My dearest where have you run to?
Away from the pain?
Or away from my grasp
As long as these stars fall
I will miss you
My dearest
Until the day I find the courage
To run away
And finally
find you

Cold crisp dew
dripping down the window seal to my left
and the one I love
laying silently beside me
wearing her silk dress
I bought her when we were kids
death is certain
but so is love

Plead onto me
The sins I can see
Your mind can be saved
But your heart, it must bleed

Down to the depths
Of the halls I was cast
My spirit lives there
As a phantom of past

Tell me one thing
And I will let you go
Scream onto me
What you're not willing to show

Why sentence to death
When angels fall from above
A punishment for life
Is your punishment for love

Now remove of your mask
And I will set you free
So darkness may dance
And join hands with me

Eternity won't sound so bad
In a land without time
Until you hear that soft voice
And find out that it's mine
