Center of my Soul



 Like a walk to the gallows
From the lingering shadows
I sense something stirring
Consciousness blurring
As were my feet losing hold
My knees threaten to fold
Deep within my weary pit
Turbulent geiser about to vomit...
Ghostly hands around my throat
My mind wearily takes note
Shoulders burdened sinking
Emotions chaotically interlinking
Cynical laughter from fear
A devious smirk; almost a sneer
Possess my lips in craze
Knowing what game darkness Plays
Know too of the consequences
Should I wield defences
As I take this stroll
Through the center of my soul

Long lost



 There came a call
An echo from long lost
Always with pride
A heart full

There came a call from afar
An echo from a long lost time
A voice strange...
Familiar to my soul

A voice strange to me ears
Though familiar to my soul
Something missing
Returned home

There came a call from afar
A voice strange to my ears
Something that was missing in my soul
Taken, witheld now returned home

Always spoken of with pride
A heart full of love
That was missing in my soul
Finally returned home

Witheld from my life
Taken from my soul
Voices strange to my ears
An echo from long lost

Cold Exasperation



I hear a cry
coming from the afterlife
saying "time to die"
handing me gleaming knife


through a crack in the sky
I look life in the eye


behind its hideous disguise
it's uglier still
seeing through the lies
makes me ill


Monsters hiding in plain sight
they are impossible to fight
when they don't come to light


nomore tears for the guilty
for who is without sin
not only the blind cannot see
I feel like giving in


I'm tired of pretending
so exhausted from defending
the wounds aren't mending
the misery is never ending
