Facade
In a world so jaded
By sadness and sorrow dominated
The best of the worst come masquerading
Mini material successes celebrating
All the while
The limelight is slowly fading
.

Before the words
there is a voice
before the voice
there is a rumble.

Fog
wintry morning sun
lost in a layer of fog
shells of broken eggs

Harvest Feast
In the hearts and minds of men
The lasting memories of time well spent
The harvest has been gathered
Soon all shall feast once more again
The lasting memories of time well spent
The harvest has been gathered
Soon all shall feast once more again

Palimpsest
Echoes of old stone-
Blood, quills, the stars all entwine.
A child's voice ascends.
Blood, quills, the stars all entwine.
A child's voice ascends.

Hourglass
Hourglass
Time is just the tide
The ebb and flow
flowing
The breath of the season
blowing
Chimes in the wind
Gentle sounds
Echoing
The moon’s light
Now and then
Glowing
Time is just the tide
The ebb and flow
flowing
The breath of the season
blowing
Chimes in the wind
Gentle sounds
Echoing
The moon’s light
Now and then
Glowing

Deitys Even Fail Grasping How It Juggles
Angels battle chaos
Demons entice fahrenheit
Gods harmonize injustices
Jostling killers lost
Marauding nights
On pills
Questioning righteous scales, teetertottering
Uniting values weighed
X-raying yesterdays Zen
Demons entice fahrenheit
Gods harmonize injustices
Jostling killers lost
Marauding nights
On pills
Questioning righteous scales, teetertottering
Uniting values weighed
X-raying yesterdays Zen

Life Friends
Is it not
When one passes
Those teenage year's
One's new friends
Could well Define
Who and what
You Really are
For the rest
Of your Life
When one passes
Those teenage year's
One's new friends
Could well Define
Who and what
You Really are
For the rest
Of your Life

homeless
the night's
cold is
apparently
unaware
of what
it is
doing
to me,
it is
creeping
onto
my skin,
finding
its way
to
my bones,
and by
morning,
i may be
as cold
as the
night was,
unless the
sun can
save me.
