Morning Dear

Good Morning my Dear
I'm leaving my love here
I have to work today
But I'm not Long away
My thoughts will be for
The one that I adore


Good Morning my Dear
I'm leaving my love here
I'm off to war today
I'll be back someday
Until I return
Let this candle burn
My heart is heavy as stone
For leaving you alone


Good Morning my Dear
I'm leaving my love here
I'm off to work today
Will think of you all day
The day is so very long
My heart is where I belong
Always in your heart
No matter how long we part


Good Morning my Dear
I'm leaving my love here
I feel ill today
So I think I will stay
With thoughts of you in my head
As I lay there in bed
Surely I will be snug
But I could use a hug


Good Morning my Dear
I'm leaving my love here
Sorry I've passed away
But I'll be with you every day
I now live in your heart
So we must never part
I'll always be here
To say "Good Morning my Dear"

Sanity's Peril

No matter ticking hour
If deep night, or mid day
The chill fades not away...
Undeminished in its power
Unfaultered my heart`s rage
As I write upon this page
Occurrences that may cause it to fail
( I can imagine I must be pale)
Yet that Hideous sight
Much more than simple fright
Dwelling deep within my mind
( Lord; were I blind)
Unable to see this terror
That stalks me without error
Taken my sanity hostage
Causing my heart to rage
Oh, how, I wish this to cease
Desperately pleading, straining for release
From this taunting Hell
The shadows that surround me
But a twig to a tree
In comparison to the horror I've seen
A fragment of monsters I've been between
Nightmares that dwell
In perils undreamt in Hell

Ruthless sands

the glow in the sky

sunset refusing to die

keeps on burning

my heart is yearning

under these burning skies

only close my eyes

plagued with fears

open them in tears

where hope is my foe

just have to know have to await

or become bullet bait

under blistering sun hung high

where screaming bombs fly

until the sun sinks from sight

leaving but bitter cold night

the glow in the sky

sunset refusing to die

keeps on burning

wheels are turning

press of into the black

days of sleep I lack

skin is molten steel

not allowed to feel

thought leads to despair

better not to care

time is but a singularity

tomorrow only today's plurality

the sands of time are ruthless

I know I was witness

I spit on them

I shit on them

when I came to rest

'twas upon their breast

Harvester of harm

 

The wound gaping

Gurgling, gushing blood

Air fleetly escaping

In a sanguine flood

Face in panic contorted

Lips quivering blue

Motions exaggeratedly distorted

Aid is already overdue

Through the hole

Through the roof

Rising like a soul

The smoking proof

That mind blown

Never to be the same

For he alone

Must carry blame

Forgot to disarm

Forgot the last round

Harvester of harm

Body on the ground

Shine for me

 Give me a ray of light...
To guide me through the night
Let your heart shine
Everything will be fine
Your love is my beacon
It is the deacon
Of my house of stars
Where my passion shars
Constellating
Incubating
Congregating
Infatuating
Tears echo through the room
They promise my doom
My star threatens to fall
Leaving no light at all
Stay with me
Heaven I plea
Give me a ray of light
To guide me through this night
Place upon this heart of mine
A reason to shine
Shine for me
Shine for all to see
Let your heart shine
Everything will be fine

The Taking

I was less than
A Score in age...
As it all began
A slave to rage
The Anger had drawn
Me into dreary abuse
All faith was gone
Head in a noose
Life had been feeding
Me with the left hand
My soul was bleeding
Head deeper in the sand
I was visited
Out of Hell
Visited? No inhabited
I its feeble shell
On the verge of insanity
Were I ever sane
I questioned my sanity
Seeking deliverance from pain
My aquaintance with alcohol
My affair with weed
Made it easy for my soul
To continue to bleed
For the moment numb
Holding maybe for a fortnight
I was so dumb
To give up the fight
The blackouts multiplied
More often I were he
That dwelled deep inside
He I wished not to be
I have no recollection
Of my Hyde.... of my Howdy
Just a faded reflection
Of my inner rowdy
The tales told
I took as tall
How blood ran cold
As he came to call
The fear of my eyes
The effort to avoid
Told therein lies
Naught as Hell's void
Though Long muted
Unsure if I reside
Alone and undisputed
Deep down inside

Devil'sblood

Devil'sblood I say
Naysay you may
But devil you are...
Leaving bloody scar
With serpents tongue
Tales are strung
Impaling my skin
Chilling deep within
"I curseth ye!"
"Cursed you be!"
Brood of damness
Instigator of darkness
Your twisted facts
From truth distracts
With every thread of resistance
I loath your existence
In deceipt you delight
Anything to mask sight
Devil'sblood I say
The game you play
The rules all counterfeit
I must forfeit
"I curseth ye!"
"Cursed you be!"

Gilded harp

It must be told
Her voice a harp of gold...
Crawls up my spine
I must make her mine
I fear to carry through
What my love could do
Her voice sings
On golden strings
Touching me ever so deep
Lulling me into sleep
Beauty tatooed in my mind
She has long signed
Her name upon my heart
It tears me apart
Fear of tainting perfection
Were I to steal her reflection
Those sapphire eyes
Where my carcass lies
Could turn black
The will I lack
The lust I hold
For that harp of gold
