When silence reigns
When silence reigns
Snow falls on a freshly dug grave
When silence reigns
My memory goes back to pain
That horrible night I found you
Needing peace from a troubled mind
When silence reigns
Snow falls on a freshly dug grave
When silence reigns
My memory goes back to pain
That horrible night I found you
Needing peace from a troubled mind
When silence reigns

Just a glance
The mirror shows
us every line of hard earned rhyme.
The mirror shows
a place where all our past will go
a cloudy window into time
fresh faces that I thought where mine

Chasing love (A rondelet)
When love is felt
to suffer pain, and bruising welts
when love is felt
trying to bluff the hand your dealt
With courage find your inner self
arrows, with trust and Cupids help
when love is felt

when love is felt

With courage find your inner self
arrows, with trust and Cupids help

Endeavour (Rondolet)
I haven’t been
to heaven in my final breath
I haven’t been
to witness calm sewn into skin
eat poison, dance from destined death
drape cloth upon these infants left
I haven’t been.
to heaven in my final breath
I haven’t been

eat poison, dance from destined death
drape cloth upon these infants left

Devastation
The earth has become a place
of devastation, the rumble of
the ground starts to shake making
everything in it's path unbearable
to withstand.
The frightening look on people's
faces is nothing but sadness in
their eyes, tears streaming down
their faces.
They're running as fast as they could
to seek immediate shelter, before
the fragments could make
a very big impact towards earth!
Radios made announcements about
the Intersteller Comet, that is going
to make a huge impact killing all
75% plant and animal life!
When the impact hit, millions
of lives were lost. The world is in total chaos
and the world has turned very dark
and gloomy.
Smoke had filled the air and everything
was burning in sight. It all happened so
quickly. It made ground shake very fast
and left everything in shambles.

Will You Love Me
Will you love me
During my stygian hours
Will you love me
Even when I can’t love myself
Quietly willing you alone
To breathe life in my worthless heart

Will you love me
Even when I can’t love myself
Quietly willing you alone
To breathe life in my worthless heart

Remember Me
Remember me
When my shadow has left your sight
Remember me
When the nights are long and lonely
And I'm no longer by your side
When memories are all you have
Remember me
When my shadow has left your sight
Remember me
When the nights are long and lonely
And I'm no longer by your side
When memories are all you have
Remember me
