The Monks Honey Mead
Golden nectar flows,
sacred honey, vats of sun,
blessed in barrels deep.
Echoed praise dance halls
in quietness, we wait for grace,
mead poured like pure sunshine.
Brewed like prayer in cup,
ancient hands the humble craft,
joy steeped in amber rain.
sacred honey, vats of sun,
blessed in barrels deep.
Echoed praise dance halls
in quietness, we wait for grace,
mead poured like pure sunshine.
Brewed like prayer in cup,
ancient hands the humble craft,
joy steeped in amber rain.

In the Glass
Temptation breakdown
Warmth melts from rock-sold ice cube
Diluted disillusion

Clear Haiku
Crystal clarity
In glass, a pure reflection
Warmth in cold embrace.
In glass, a pure reflection
Warmth in cold embrace.

Beer
Drink the bottle down
Feel the warming numbing rush
Diluting the soul
Feel the warming numbing rush
Diluting the soul

Vodkhaiku
Clear liquid, ice cold
Burning warmth in every sip
Glass echoes its tale.
Burning warmth in every sip
Glass echoes its tale.

Well of the Bottle
It isn’t in the well of the bottle
It’s when you miss your son’s baseball game
Or are late and absent from your daughter’s big day
They excuse you but they will remember
On a cold night in December they lie awake
Can’t even dream their way away
For when the clock rings it begins again
Bottom of the hour the procession is starting
Can’t find my tie or my keys I’m drunk awake
Get in the car I start screaming riddles
You look at me and say I’m crazy and your right
As the...

Bored
I’m so fricken bored; I’m losing my mind
I should go smoke a joint to reach that high
Stop the intrusive thoughts that make me want to die
Yet I’ll be bored again once I get off this ride.
I should go smoke a joint to reach that high
Stop the intrusive thoughts that make me want to die
Yet I’ll be bored again once I get off this ride.

Lost Boy
Among the shadows where the silence breathes,
A lost boy walks, torn like autumn leaves
With haunted eyes, echoes of pain
Looking for shelter down the pouring rain
Once a dreamer in a world so vile,
Now, a wanderer with nowhere to hide
He's endured the harm of many hearts unkind,
Yet his spirit wishes for a chance to rise
Through nights of darkness, inhaling your fear,
Crystal ghosts haunt you; I feel you near
Each scar a story, each tear a song,
In a world that feels so painfully wrong
Stolen...
A lost boy walks, torn like autumn leaves
With haunted eyes, echoes of pain
Looking for shelter down the pouring rain
Once a dreamer in a world so vile,
Now, a wanderer with nowhere to hide
He's endured the harm of many hearts unkind,
Yet his spirit wishes for a chance to rise
Through nights of darkness, inhaling your fear,
Crystal ghosts haunt you; I feel you near
Each scar a story, each tear a song,
In a world that feels so painfully wrong
