Azrael and the Renegade
Drop him! Azrael said,
It’s the way it has to be,
No! the other one responded,
I can’t do that to this baby.
It has to be done, Azrael added,
You know it has been commanded,
It’s my responsibility to do so, so,
It must be done as HE demanded.
The renegade angel stood at the edge of the cliff,
Child cradled in arms, he spread his wings,
He will become a great man you’ll see,
He will become more powerful than all earthly kings.
Azrael stood ready to strike them both down,
Or throw the child alive into the...

No Title (For Now)
Whispers in the shadows of the wind
They tell secrets of forsaken memories
Of longing, of fondness, of deceit, of an end
Abandoned for the sake of peace
For only a short while
Dew sleepily walks down to Earth
And, Flora drinks Dew's imparted nourishment
Earth quiescently awaits on Dawn to give birth
While, resting with the sweet spirits of the witching hour
Sanguine in her thoughts of tomorrow
Frost joins younger Dew onto the field
Remembering his forgotten days
Melancholic in his nature, he does yield
Withdrawn,...

Despondent King
With an aging crown and a heart heavy with need
The king sits atop his throne, needles at his feet
His body has never seen the labor of his lands
But all falls to whispers at the flick of his hand
He needn't shout or exclaim in an unseemly way
He only has to incline his head and quietly say
The hour has come when kingdoms fall to their knees
Our God has not answered our prayers or pleas
They wait for him to gnash his teeth and pull his silver hair
To rant at the Gods for taking his last living heir
They wait in strained silence, muddled...

Geometric Expectations
At a busy street corner
waiting for Greeks bearing gifts...
He, always, stands at corners
to avoid going in circles...

When the masks fall
The theater was silent
The stage was set
A thousand eyes examining its slightest tremble
Made it seem like glowing with anticipation
In a circle all around the stage they sit
Under the starlit sky
A beautiful summer night carries them to a land of dreams
As the actors appear and the play begins
They are moving forward, coming from the south and facing towards the north
In slow motion they crawl
On their hands and their feet and the movement of them all
Seems like the wind trying to move a stone
This goes on for an...

True Lies II
I remember it all clearly now,
The words he spoke to me
They all came from this bird I saw,
Sitting high up in that tree
At first I thought I'd lost my mind,
Just listening to this bird
But not too long into his tale,
I hung on every word
The tale that he relayed to me,
Was filled with drugs and crime
And ended with a friend of his,
In prison doing time
It started in a park he said,
Just a couple of years ago
He never named the park he meant,
But said that I would know
His friend was...

A dragon's around me
A dragon's around me
Dragon flames
Dragon fires
It's heaving flaming arrows at me
Every which way
Wreaking havoc all over the place
Destroying my day with confusion
Behind thick dark dragon smoke
I hear voices, voices, voices...
Of people showing they care
Offering a hand
To show me a way
Out of the heavy smoke
A dragon secretly soars above me
Lingering, throwing balls
of lightening my way
Lightening I might not know
How to catch
Lightening I know not
how to hold
Lightening that might pass ...
Dragon flames
Dragon fires
It's heaving flaming arrows at me
Every which way
Wreaking havoc all over the place
Destroying my day with confusion
Behind thick dark dragon smoke
I hear voices, voices, voices...
Of people showing they care
Offering a hand
To show me a way
Out of the heavy smoke
A dragon secretly soars above me
Lingering, throwing balls

Lightening I know not

Different route
Wishing well
I leave behind.
Don't want to fall,
dive too deep
into it's upside down tower
Don't want to slide off it's rough rocks
That fall deep
into a confining pool
Where id be caught
in a dungeon, water- filled cave
Leaving the sparkly seas behind.
The last thing I need
is to wish too hard
That I fall into it again
Then I'll have to wish for a way out
The forgiving seas
would never let me disagree
To take a different route
I leave behind.
Don't want to fall,
dive too deep
into it's upside down tower
Don't want to slide off it's rough rocks
That fall deep
into a confining pool
Where id be caught
in a dungeon, water- filled cave
Leaving the sparkly seas behind.
The last thing I need
is to wish too hard
That I fall into it again
Then I'll have to wish for a way out
The forgiving seas
would never let me disagree
To take a different route

A Bridge To My Farewell
You've seen my soul
Upon the shore of your evening
And the winds blow
But still unsure if you're winning
One more day to breathe
One more day to live
Anchored to foundations
Of those who give
You've seen my ghost
Upon the ledge of your bitter fears
But you know the host
Will only pledge if you shed honest tears
Of what you're feeling
Of what you're dealing
To get through this day...
See me now upon your shores
Hear me now when you're unsure
Breathe deep another day of life
As...
Upon the shore of your evening
And the winds blow
But still unsure if you're winning
One more day to breathe
One more day to live
Anchored to foundations
Of those who give
You've seen my ghost
Upon the ledge of your bitter fears
But you know the host
Will only pledge if you shed honest tears
Of what you're feeling
Of what you're dealing
To get through this day...
See me now upon your shores
Hear me now when you're unsure
Breathe deep another day of life

Night Trip
I took a trip last night into my dreams
To a place that I'm sure no one has seen
The sky was black as the darkest of nights
But everything else was a spectrum of light
With no one around but still voices I hear
When all of a sudden a doorway appeared
A sign on the door said welcome, come in
And that's where the story of this journey begins
When I turned the knob and pushed open the door
I almost stepped in when I noticed no floor
I heard a voice tell me "do not be afraid"
"This is a journey of the choices you made"
...
