Sweet Winter;

Sorrow is the song the wind sings,
Late winter chill is what the wind brings.
The branches of the pine,
Creak and cry, makes a shiver shake my spine.

This dreary scene,
I somehow find it serene.
The silence, the isolation,
Provides me a strange feeling of Salvation.

Oh, sweet and bitter Winter,
I sit in awe in your snow so tender.
Be born again and start a new,
Oh sweet Winter, I beckon you!

Your chilled embrace,
Your icy taste.
Perhaps if I get lost in you,
I, too, can start new.

Sweet mother of the season,
Give me life, give me reason.
Consume me whole,
Consume it all, mind and soul.

Blue Bird;

On a feather my heart flies
and drifts into the open air
as my eyes, on their own accord, cry.
And they offer a lifeless stare.

Again, once more,
I'm counting scars you make,
And my body is sore,
And those scars ache.

So I'll kiss this love goodbye,
Leaving it on the wing of a blue bird,
And tonight I'll sing a broken lullaby,
And I'll try to avoid being absurd.

Ah, it's so hard to go on,
Knowing you're no longer there,
And the bird's once bright song,
Sounds like it is empty and no longer cares.

Ah, once again I am crying,
Looking at our old pictures,
Wishing I'd believed the lying,
Wishing you'd never met her.

I'm kissing my love goodbye,
And sending it far away on the bird's wing,
As I stare up at the stars tonight,
And listen to many nearby cicadas sing.

Sweet Blue Bird, treasure the heart,
that now rests upon your wingtips,
And care for each individual shard,
Where out comes painful love that still drips.

My deal with Satan..


My intention is to help,
not to make it worse..
I want to ease your pain
and fade that remorse..

I'll make you a deal,
one you cannot refuse..
Everyone will win,
except maybe you..

You give me your heart
as a feast..
And i'll pleaseure thoughts
with simplicity and peace..

You give me your soul
as something to hold..
and i'll send you
somewhere streets are not of gold..

This is all it costs,
some blood will be shed..
So sign here on the dotted line
and i'll take care of the rest..

Do you think maybe it was the title??..It got 16 reads..no comments..

Before you read this, incase you find yourself faced with confusion, the death train is a metaphor for suicide pacts.


All aboard the Death Train


All aboard the death train
Just like the love train, but less nausiating;
Get aboard the death train,
if your looking for a way out.
But take caution, stepping towards the platform
as it might just run you over...
Welcome aboard the death train,
your in for the ride of your life!
 
Take a seat to the left side,
aside the blood splattered windows.
Yeah Boy! Your gonna' want to watch us
rip through the crowds.
There's anti-freeze in the lobby,
if you feel a thirst for a refreshment.
And a loaded shotgun slid under your seat
in the case you need to blow your brains out.
 
There isn't an emergency exit.
Once your on you can't get off again.
Accept ofcourse when the caretaker comes;
To drag out your mangled corpse.
We're on a collision course,
this train shall stop at nothing!
We'll run over everyone in our path
in non consensual suicide.
 
All now step out the death train...
Oh wait thats right you can't!
You chose the direction you were heading in,
and now your too fucked up to go back
Oh well, I guess, I best get my scrubbing brush
and body bags, and stow you away.
For I have another pick up in 20 minutes time...
This is my 5th pick up today
 
Fuck I love my job....

my collaboration with mcr4everyoung..(no title)

Just like a ghost
I drift through the days
Trying for reason
Thinking of ways

Nothing changes
No matter how many pills I take
Give me numbness
And happiness I will fake

I hide myself
Under a pile of lies
No one sees
The intention in my eyes

They don't understand
So they sent me away
Stuck in this place
Yet another day

The Father of Lies

Inside of me the devil sleeps
Stroking my organs
Filling me with hatred to make me weep
Coursing through me I feel such desire
To murder you screaming
And set the pieces on fire

Some restrictions will be ignored
Tasting lifeless flesh
All because I am bored
Don't they know I'm antichrist
Controling your actions
And sending my poltergeist

Don't touch me there..
Spitting around me into martyer
Ill make you bleed, its only fair
Mommy help me please
You saw this happen
Infesting me like filthy flees

I'm in love my own tortured abyss
When you whisper to me the deeds at hand
I'm ready to destroy and fill with bliss
Take revenge I so rightly deserve
Stealing chizzled body parts
My favorite pieces get stored

Depression
Suicide
Schizophrenia Disorder
Anti depressants
Valum
Ecstasy
Sex

The escape of reality
Inside self medication
Born of insanity
Fueled by lucifer
Such lovley encouragment
To cut into her..

O dear serpant of old
Empower me with darkness
My soul has been sold
So its time to pay my price
Reap all lives of choice
To summon my inner demons enticed

Reptile of the bloody sea
Taint my eyes blinded
So I may no longer see
The pain that is mine agian
Haunted by black memories
Drown me anew lord leviathan

God of the new age
Flame the fires of despare
And enlighten the abilitys of my rage
Sing the chorous of death upon
The meager peasants of a fake lord
My only king of babylon

Shine, Soul, Shine!

Eyes! you may blink now, you may open your windows and see the beauty again. 
Don't be timid, eyelids, let that transluscent glow shine from yonder in. 
Tongue! Be bitten or glued to thy mouth. For hark! The horizon fills with skeptics. 
your truth to be lost in their hectic, hide your majestic. 
Ears! Hear the now, nevermind your past. Curtain their voice, their opinion, their sass. 
Ears! Hear now first! Save yester and morrow for last. 
Lips! Open but refrain from your anguish and exhuberance. 
Refrain to say this and hear harlequin nuisance! 
Heart! Be open and big, but beat quiet. Be cautioned, yet alive. Be loud in your silence. 
Heart! Beware! The scare of thy breaking can't bind you from dares! 
Soul, you can cry now and no one can judge you. 
Though your lips stay silent and ears hear reepers, 
Though your eyes see false, tongue stay glued and heart beats deeper. Live in your divine! 
Soul! No need to fear! This is what you were meant to do! 
Take that emotion, those shadows, 
that chauvenistic pride, thy aristrocratic plies and let your dreams fly! 
Though they body hides! 
Shine! Soul, Shine!.

why not 

no lie 
ive toe'd to toe with the big guy 
for insight 
and drank the darker fella 
under the table 
simply to pick his pockets 
assuming he left dodge with some sort of severance package 

i picked at the tapestry 
enough for the fabric to fray 
and traced the common thread of every artists ancestry 
back to before the bang was even that big 

i once followed the fancy of physics 
to the quantum level 
disappearing and reappearing everywhere at once 
just to tippy toe peak beyond it 

ive spun the mystics dizzy 
grazed on lsd dmt and poetry 
and ive even tired out the disciples 
rifling my focus to the answers in the skies 

from the tower of babel i shouted why 
in every concievable computation 
with such an urgency 
that the answer came back 

why not

My deviant wants

The moon, it glares at me through the trees 
and I fool myself into thinking 
I'm the only one staring back 
mesmerized by its imposing presence.

A wave of wants passes through me 
and I wish I could steal the lure of the oceans 
that dragged seamen away from their lives and loves 
only to become another name on a monument.

If I could use the sea's sway 
over our humanity, psychology-
the way she strips an ultimately stable man 
of every cell of reason's rationale, and 
sends lunatics back home to where 
they can blame the moon, then

and only then 
I'd lure you to me 
with thickly veiled insincerity 
I'd rape you of your will and make 
you chain your heart to mine.

This twisted love creation 
would be my solution; because even deviance 
will serve to satiate my wants.

"here"


and when i do finally write myself away 
my dear, 
dont pretend that i didnt bludgeon 
your eardrums with the piecemeal 
and posturing 
of a prepubescent poet. 

when i whittled away 
the waste, 
from the well fed wording 
and nestled them just so- 
and comfy under your hungry 
self esteem 
it seemed to satisfy 
a certain sense of romance 
you said you needed 

A sorry 
as mighty as i can muster, 
is fastened to this confession 
that my passion still simmers- 
cracking the understanding 
of the, "what i should be doing" 

when i stack the dishes, 
in that particular fashion 
that you asked 
please know that i only wanted 
a half aware response 
to my tinkering 
to know that you were here 

perhaps i am adulterous 
marrying another muse per minute 
and i very well might be staring 
    straight 
        and deep 
            into the anywhere else 
but ive cordially invited you 
an infinite amount of times 
and you chose 
     not to follow 
            me here 

when we met 
i made no mistakes 
about the merit of lust 
and of wandering 
and my utter commitment 
to be lost 
    
i beg you remember my dear, 
you chose 
     not to follow 
            me here

A Spring Rain With Winter Wishes

A torment of rain and wasted opportunities washes over
Watering the seeds of regret  

They grow,  
like anything given sufficient sustenance,
and bloom into marvelous patches that cover and choke the whole field  

The only places that are free of this constant reminder are the beaten paths along which the creatures of habit and the beasts of burden tread.

They are driven by hands that cannot hear
the voices of the empty adornments and so go about their regular route

Never deviating

Never adventuring

But always wondering about the unknown and untold marvels  
that lay in the far-seeming and mystical lands
that are almost visible when they dream  

No bird could fly high enough

No fish could swim fast enough

But the echoes still travel, whispering of winter

I'm No Boy

This body here,
In which I'm trapped-
Cannot reflect myself.
I have not, a stone flat chest-
Nor something between the legs.
Have not the masculinity,
The speed nor strength,
Not even the voice-
Of that of a boys.

Always behind, lagging here-
Stuck behind those boys.
Ahead they walk,
Striding tall-
Behind comes pathetic me.

No I'm no boy,
Though this hair is short.
My fabrics lose,
But this chest is there,
Unable to be hidden forever.

So I can't be,
Nor do I wish-
To be in body a boy.
But in my head-
It might be best,
If I was born the opposite sex.
