Steel Eyes On A Pale Horse
He came through town like a whirlwind
Leaving destruction as his guns tore and rend
We irked his wrath
We regret crossing his path
It all started when we saw two
Decided they had a bag of coins or two
The town all agreed
They'd surrender their wealth or bleed
So a band of us caught them on the road
They'd give us what was owed
They were only two a male and his girl
You could see the terror in her eyes beneath her curls
Rags over our face
We demanded...

The Ghosts of Herak Part 7
Orcus began to change. He became taller and his robe seemed to flap like wings. His handsome face turned into something else, more regal but more horrific. Two horns appeared on the sides of his head, but despite this, he had this terrible beauty; his face was like a smooth-faced minotaur. He was even taller than before. His robe flapped around him as if they were alive.
Desire stood by all this while let out a cackling laugh and we turned our attention at her. She was still as terribly beautiful as before but she looked almost reptilian.
“Come let us face your ghosts...

The Ghosts of Herak Part 5
We walked briskly through the forest with me in the lead, followed by Pandora my sister, Ameria and the fiery guardian. We walked in single file as the underbrush was thick.
Pandora was getting tired and clung to my arm. I encouraged her as much as I could as I wanted to reach Orcus before sun up. I was having a strange sense of being watched, but upon glancing at the guardian and Ameria, I was reassured that it was my imagination as they didn’t seem to notice anything.
We came upon a break from the closeness of the forests, several hours later. It looked like a wide...

Safety Off
Driving through the city
Counting ill gotten stacks of fifties
Ski masks on
Ready to execute before the dawn
Fears of dying poor
Got us kicking in the door
Rifles up into the house
Victim waking up with a barrel in his mouth
Yelling wake up and turn around
One false move and you're going six feet underground
Safe cracker having a hard time
We need to finish the crime
Demand the safe code
So I picture us off into the sunset we rode
But that...
Counting ill gotten stacks of fifties
Ski masks on
Ready to execute before the dawn
Fears of dying poor
Got us kicking in the door
Rifles up into the house
Victim waking up with a barrel in his mouth
Yelling wake up and turn around
One false move and you're going six feet underground
Safe cracker having a hard time
We need to finish the crime
Demand the safe code
So I picture us off into the sunset we rode

The Ghosts of Herak- Part 4
Suddenly in front of us, a huge man materialized, he seemed to emanate white light around him. He had a helmet with wings on the side and body armour like a Roman soldier. He was very tall and muscled bound and yet he didn’t seem to be hostile.
He stared at us, as we did him.
“Who are you?” all of us seemed to ask at once, including the bright stranger.
“I am a watcher of this glen, the guardian of the forest. This is my domain. Pray tell me why you are trespassing into my home,” he asked, rather haughtily I might add.
Ameria stepped forward, holding...

The Ghosts of Herak- Part 3
There were no other volunteers, even among the able-bodied men,. We understood how they felt as they wanted to make sure they were with their family if anything happened.
Our young men were away. They had gone to join the soldiers of Rome to fight against invaders and to invade. All that were left in the Village of Herak were older men, women and children.
We had no choice, so the three of us prepared for the journey. I actually didn’t want to have Pandora with me, but she insisted on coming along, pouting and stamping her feet, so I had to give in. We dressed up in...

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...

The Sacred Art of Self Decoration with Monarch Butterflies
(Butterfly Contemplation)
There comes a time when doing what you want
without regard for other living things,
because there’s nothing that exists like you.
Will show all of your faults, and constant haunt
with smallest creature Mother Nature brings,
until you have the sense for what to do.
And who but I of noble tiger breed,
would take exception being told the rules
and heavy-handed lessons, to become
a new example living by the...
