From Santa Barbara to Chicago
Have you ever been to heaven?...
No, I've never been there
Heard it's beautiful
He comes for you in a white blind light
Sky opens up and takes you inside
She then tells me, she's been somewhere remotely
To a place that resembles, house of the holy
She lies awake in bed
Adroned in a white summer dress and linen sheets
Overlooking out into a view
Of sheer paradise
From her bedroom window
Azure sky, golden sands
Ocean breeze mixes with
Sweet scented jasmine, permeating
Waves that crash upon the reefs
Heavenly Santa...

Obsessed
Afflicted by addiction, consumed by her ravenous obsession
All senses numbed, upon the brink of oblivion
Rapture of darkness swallows me whole
Drowning in it's devine power, it's fire passes thru my blood
All that I've obtained in life, stripped!
Famine has stricken my landscape, desolate highway
Overwhelming breathing, everything crashing
Temple pillars lie in rubble, yet I continue feeding this chasm
All senses numbed, upon the brink of oblivion
Rapture of darkness swallows me whole
Drowning in it's devine power, it's fire passes thru my blood
All that I've obtained in life, stripped!
Famine has stricken my landscape, desolate highway
Overwhelming breathing, everything crashing
Temple pillars lie in rubble, yet I continue feeding this chasm

Searching
Part i
Heard a song this morning playing on the radio, a song I know all to well
Stems from my golden days yore
Now that I have reeled in the years, nostalgia sets in
While at work performing my duties that I can actually do with my eyes closed, I drift off to a special place in my life
Simultaneously singing the song under my breath with a small smile upon my face, the more I sing it, the further I drift into the heart of it
Reminiscing of the one that at this point in my current life, she got away
Didn't realize it then, till now
Am I...

Anew Divinity
Anew divinity has dawned
Helios reignites the wick
Promises of a new day begins to unfold
I've made a conscience decision to leave all that has been weighing me down to the brink of self doubt
It's been a long road, these days I've been searching for the sun to move the tides that hide my eyes and wash me clean
I know for certain I will get to where I need to be
I have found something that I lost long ago, it's my patience to endure. Yet remaining cold and unforgiving

Long Days
Will this pain ever go away?.........
There's a scar that's been left upon my heart, bleeds black ink
Four thousand miles long and deep
Niles through the tapestry of clay surrounded by flesh and blood
It's width is days away, separated by love that no longer exist
Fallen to piece like leaves from a tree whisked by the autumn breeze
Winter to spring, summer to fall
It all comes by like a speeding train
This pain rains in sheets
Pourning down like nails driving into me
Harbringer of cold and grey, murderer of my blue azure ...

Here in darkness
I've got big dreams for you
But to let them out
Would be considered a sin
Not everyone will not be able to swallow it down
Chocking on what lies behind my eyes
A world that is deliberately dark
Even a box of sixty four crayons
You will never find pitch black
It requires you to go deep into my pores
Beneath my skin, barely scathing the surface of whats in store
Believe me, you'll be sinking more than you can swim
Eyes are black pearls
How far are you willing to drown in them?
Into the abyss, bottom of the sea
Just to retrieve what is to...

Eyes Of Darkness
I mustn't be staring into the eyes of darkness
The serpent comes into perception from out of the wood work of my wilderness
Offering me all thy beauty that lies within the realm of my world
I hear his rattle hum, consumed by cunning
My land is weak yet trying with all that beens given to remain strong in my will
I stand before the fruits of my tree of morality
Given upon me since the beginning, I was present there so long ago
The consequences are a forbidden outcome
That has cost me more than what this life offers
From out of the plains of high...

Shadow of the sun (Revised)
Shadow of the sun
Forever im shunned
All my burdens have been cast upon
Now dying all alone, wandering in bereft
Far, far away from home
I'm just a shadow of the sun
I'm just a shadow of the sun
A flower melting down
Cursed in darkness
Plight with serpentine teeth
Rapes me deep
Burn like a falling star
Fading into the night
Never to return
Heaven within is dead, hollowed chest
A hole without a vibrant soul
Chasm that grows, swallowing up rays
Across the sands I walk
Footprints following me
...

All over again
Learning to paint my skies all over again
Not by numbers this time, I only have one life
But a life time of second chances to make it come out right
With a mix of colours I see forth from in front of my eyes
Canvas set to come alive
How beautiful this life of mine is
Where the fuck have I been this whole time?
Wasting away the dawn!
Learning to love all over once again
Piercing thy heart drain out all the dark
Defibrillate flatline, breathe from suffocation
Black gives way
I want passion to...

Shadow of the sun
Shadow of the sun
Stricken with darkness
Plight with serpentine teeth has become the curse of me, burn like embers in my night
Pectus excavatum, hollowed chest
Chasm that grow eternally
Swallowing up soft light from apollos horizon
Across the fields are broken refactions, desert sky is now ripped open
Jakob enters the valley of my temple
Spirit wrestling with the angel
Upon the witching hour
Winds howls like wolves
Twisting, turning lighting crashes
Shadows of the fallen watching
Celestials of the one hundred and forty four...

Thundering
I awoke this morning
As I do every morning
A routine that's been with me since the beginning of learning to live and breathe
But today is different, somehow someway
I feel it in my soul down to my bones
I mean everything still looks the same
When staring into the outside
I hear thundering...
Or is it just me
I can feel it all the way down to the soles of my feet
As my soul begins to dig deeper root
Somethings headed my way
There's a breeze, it's a little more stronger than before
Sweeping it's way in, I can see the underside of...

I'm Zinnia
I was put upon the window sill garden
Next to begonia, awaiting the sun
Day after day rising behind us from the east warming our flowered souls
Then setting upon our faces from the west
Rays dancing on blooms
Then suddenly she died, oh my how I cried
No hopes of a resurrection for you my dear
I'm beginning to wither away myself
Life has become busy as I'm becaming less important, neglected
My little patch of earth is now just dry dirt
I'm being invaded by house ants and spiders
Cobwebs abound my sky, wrapped in silk
I'm a nest for flies...
