An Ancient god’s Fury
Told I this in tales of yore
the mortal daughter of Irra
existing in Akkadian fields
was set upon by villains
torn and struck she fell supine
silent screams of spilled blood
reached her father in slumber
with his consort Mami
Roar his rank upon the sky
screams of righteous rage
ripped the tormented firmament
swirled in grey the tapestry
of life within the glory
of created existence
trembled and pulse
in terrified horror
Irra in fury rode again ...

Destine
Fallen Angels building a ladder
Rungs tied on with tears and blood splatter
Working while singing a siren's song
Pulling the innocent from right to wrong
Cerberus nipping at their heels to move the herd
Hela wants to sing but forgot the words
Medusa cracking a whip to speed things up
Sisyphus has depression and he's in a rut
Persephone lied with Prometheus to create a spark
Hades found out and Prometheus was caught
Body splayed, strapped to a rock
I IS ME, the vulture, tears at his heart
Gabriel's on...
Rungs tied on with tears and blood splatter
Working while singing a siren's song

Hela wants to sing but forgot the words

Sisyphus has depression and he's in a rut
Persephone lied with Prometheus to create a spark
Hades found out and Prometheus was caught
Body splayed, strapped to a rock
I IS ME, the vulture, tears at his heart

Pyriel's Love
Pyriel knew she
loved the man,
how could he
not understand?
The path she chose
was long and
Unending.
He was her life,
her beginning
In time they grew apart
giving her all,
but he broke her heart
Wicked was the
game he played
of suicide sheep
and calamities all
blinded by this
ultimate ending
Be my boat,
she said to him
I'll sail in this
ocean of tears.
The wind in my
sails will carry
me through,
I'll die trying
to get to you
...

Moon Kiss
The moon is full
Set low in the sky
A Chinese lantern
A little sigh
She loves the moon
My sweet Moon Pie
Is she looking too
From the other side
Let's meet up there
We have to try
Leave our bodies
Start to fly
At last we embrace
In the moons eye
Just one sweet kiss
No air, we die
Set low in the sky
A Chinese lantern
A little sigh
She loves the moon
My sweet Moon Pie
Is she looking too
From the other side
Let's meet up there
We have to try
Leave our bodies
Start to fly
At last we embrace
In the moons eye
Just one sweet kiss
No air, we die

Passionately
colliding emotions
resonating temptations
it’s like explosions
a world of reincarnations
eons of damnation
eternal ramifications
chords of salvation
begins with meditations
let me ramble on
it’s truly a fascination
i’d still carry the hell on
even if I’m in isolation
blessings of the Nagas
there will be a celebration
chanting of the spiritual raagas
life’s after all pure to perfection
soon there will be a revelation
within you, an honest foundation
life is years and years of...

Where the hell am I
Dangling from a cliff,
One broken tree
The wind blows,
My hands on a ruff branch,
As I look below me,
Towards the ground
I see rocks and water,
Basically the ocean
Dead gorgeous turquoise,
Where the hell am I,
I don't remember
How did I ended up here,
On this similar planet
A unique one at that,
The sky is painted
Royalty all over,
Not the usual color,
We see everyday,
A unique one at that
I gotta find away,
My right shoulder
Feels intense pain
I can't end like this
This ruff...

The Widow’s Cock
It seems that life is always fought between
a fox and cock. The latter struts about
his house as King David, his wives arrayed
on beds of hay. The fox, a cunning lout,
requests that King Cock’s rigour be displayed.
A widow, once, was gifted such a cock
and stalked by such a fox. That night she locked
her new monarch inside with his new brides.
The foolish Cock let Noble Fox come in,
and just as Cock’s veins tautened in the shaft
of its long neck, so that music
might issue forth, the fox bit down
and choked the chicken’s warbling. ...

Purple Velvet
This world is a testament to power
A monster of energy
Devouring consciousness
Time and time again
He was born with the sun on his hair
And waves in his eyes
Oh good young nymph
Help me remember his name
In case he rides home tonight
Hair to Mycenaean kings
His mother’s shrine
Is now lost in the mist
Memphis has drowned in the mud
And his tale is no more sung
He’s wrapped in velvet
Purple velvet
As he floats down
Down the river
There’s now gold on his eyelids ...
A monster of energy
Devouring consciousness
Time and time again
He was born with the sun on his hair
And waves in his eyes
Oh good young nymph
Help me remember his name
In case he rides home tonight
Hair to Mycenaean kings
His mother’s shrine
Is now lost in the mist
Memphis has drowned in the mud
And his tale is no more sung
He’s wrapped in velvet
Purple velvet
As he floats down
Down the river
There’s now gold on his eyelids ...

Flight to Lochnivaar
She was free when confined
in ancient dark forests, dancing
singing at Father Oak’s feet
hiding under Mother Pine’s boughs
She was safe, she was home
The mundane day to day life
more or less sleepwalking
Biding her time, her thoughts
only of the moment to escape
One day, she’d run home forever
She had been followed, one afternoon
Nosy townspeople who thought her odd
With dogs and horses, to catch her
Running for her life, never looking back
She’d live her way or die trying

Welcome To The Jungle
O'Reilly was just assigned to our unit, a fresh kid with a fresh smile
All new recruits had been going over to Charlie for a while
Partially due to warring politics and also they suffered heavy loses
A volunteer like O'Reilly was never instructed on all of war's true loses
Raised with the philosophy that to truly belong you joined
Although never taught that war and death were conjoined
O'Reilly entered hell all bright eyed and bushy tailed
And was delivered to a troop that was on R&R, and they only wanted some tail
He had money...

When Taking Flight
somewhere sparkling in the night
through the dark shine beams of light
racing ever on until
bouncing off something that will
send a message to my brain
to let me know I'm back again
slower than the speed of light
that flees the stars in cosmic night -
knowing that I have returned
to where I left, where once I yearned
to travel to another star
in a blink, however far
out of body, out of mind
out of ordinary time
out of the solar plasmasphere
to Sirius, or very near -
myths of ancients long...
