Slaught


blood pouring
raining scarlet
beast goring
immortal regrets
celestial tears
comets falling
mortal fears
Death's calling
timid congregate
vicious attack
darkened fate
fading black
sheep slaught
silenced lamb
destruction caught
existence damn
dieties disappear
War emerges
mortals fear
choas purges
heavens fall
hells rise
collide all
deafening cries

The Lost Year



Photos taken
Photos lost
Tomorrows awaken...
At Yesterday's cost





Friends made
Friends lost
Times paid
At Memory's cost




Poems penned
Gone forever
Words seasoned
With Life's endeavor




Shadows of memories dissapate
Whilst faces of yesterday fade
Nothing left to debate
Gone are memories made




Thought to be secure
Banned to paper crypt
Meant ages to endure
But in the Never dipped




Circumstance brought
Memorabilia loss
Left is naught
As ghostly moss




Photos taken
Photos lost
Tomorrows awaken
At Yesterday's cost

Derelict Beauty



There is a beauty in the decrepit
Only a sorrowed heart can see
Derelict others would forget...
Can ignite many a story
Dead and left to decay
Eroding to dement memory
Fading as Time makes its way
Swallowed in body and history
There is a beauty in the decrepit
Only a sorrowed hearts can see
Nature is the culprit
Embracing what used to be
That which still remains
Encompassing a derelict Memory
One with the darkened stains
Of a derelict beauty
Breathing life into the dead
Igniting the birth of a story
That haunts and dances in the head.
