It was then
I was ten
Age of innocence
Virgin to all elements
Roaming, searching for myself
Crawling in the back of my mind
To a world behind my eyes
Leaving the real one behind
No one knew what lied inside, but I
A world full of surprise
Finally coming alive, butterfly
Finding myself outside
Out my front porch
Singing to myself
Songs Ive learned along my way
Soothing my big empty

Of Hawk and Moon (Fading Into Breaking Dawn)
Couldn't believe my eyes
As I ventured outside
Into the epitome of
The witching hour
dark dead cold night
Density piercing past my soul
Deep into my bones
Oh my lucky stars
Witnessing such suspended beauty
Artemis lays against black velvet
Amorously impaling my spirit
Like a hawk is to the moon
Break of dawn, verging
Ceiling drapes low, nebula
Black branches writhe forth, skeletal fingers
Demystifying the ceiling into twilight sky
Street light shedding hollow glow
Softly, slowly
becoming dispersed,...

La Luna
Here we are once again my love
No better way to spend thine hour with thee
Another cold dead night
Below freezing, dense air
Silence is the sound
My breath the only motion around
Face showing emotion im spell bound
Im totally and utterly in love with you
But then again, you already knew that
Don't you my love?
Reminiscing the night
Fumbled for my keys
Unlocked the apartment door
Staggered in and collapsed from my drunken stupor onto the floor and blacked out
Ha... yah... I knew you'd remember
Woke up for some reason...
No better way to spend thine hour with thee
Another cold dead night
Below freezing, dense air
Silence is the sound
My breath the only motion around
Face showing emotion im spell bound
Im totally and utterly in love with you
But then again, you already knew that
Don't you my love?
Reminiscing the night
Fumbled for my keys
Unlocked the apartment door
Staggered in and collapsed from my drunken stupor onto the floor and blacked out
Ha... yah... I knew you'd remember
Woke up for some reason...

Baptized
My pulchritudinous moon
Ever so waning and waxing
Full of desire
Melting me like ice
Under midnight blue sky
Hung with jewels
Halos, refractions of clouds
Ice crystals encompassing your orb
Conceiving immaculate aura
Religiously every night
Offering thyself unto thee
Perpetual Baptism

Fallen
This is dedicated to Shabeeh Haider for the unjust tht was brought upon him. An outrage. For you my friend
Fallen
It kills me to know
You've been murdered
Soul stripped down to bone
Vultures ripping your heart out
Tearing it apart
Never seen it coming
Banshees aiming straight for you
Apollo watching
Falling, falling
Down from the sky
Falling, falling
Down from the sky
Like the hand of God
He's not, king nothing
Wearing self made crown
Striking you down
Dilettante minions ...

Crime
Sin entices own appitite
And becomes your master
Flesh appeal becomes pleasure
Of ill gotten gain
Surests in the brain
Your desires ignite fire
Wallowing in own selfishness and pride
Like a self monster In consumption of obsession
Destroying yourself right before your very eyes
Deceived like Eve
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tasting sin
Sweet nectar running down your chin
The veil of truth lifts
Eyes become wide
Breaking onto the other side
...

Siphoned
Distraught, breathless
Lifting my hands towards heaven
trying to cope with my situation
Distant from self
Inability to reflect upon
Relations of internal perspective
Spirit and soul unaligned
Twisting, turning
The whole ugly spiral down
Vertigo
Is what has become of me
Constellation
Pulses of light
Fading away
Fibers
I unravel at the seams
Past the dark from my optics
To the edge of forever
In thru the never
Siphoned
From flames that once burned
Sulfur blue in my night
Gone...

Tribulation (A True Dream) Part III
Felt you in my dream last night
Underneath my skin
Roaming the sands of my spirit world
Leaving imprints behind
Disturbing inner peace
Polluting my soul with your sickness
Phantoms of loathing
Causing widespread damage
Spreading thick black sludge
Diluting my rivers
From within your folds
Flowing into the chambers of my heart
It happened so fast
Polaroid flash
Seen their faces
Wraiths penetrate
Dreamscape
Ravens access denied
Thru the portal doorway
That's when I felt you
Within my grasp
Touching...
Underneath my skin

Flowing into the chambers of my heart
It happened so fast
Polaroid flash
Seen their faces
Wraiths penetrate

Ravens access denied

Thursday ( My Last Day)
Cannot fathom
This perplexed extremity
Of what has become of me
Sacrificed, laid down my life
Offering up thyself unto thee
Lamb led to the slaughter
Bleeding at the alter
For the cause, to belong
Being part of something, a family
Breaking bread drink from the cup
Remembrance of salvation from where you found me
Along the banks of the maumee river
Longing to be delivered, baptized
Bowing to the gods of this industrial concrete world
Years of service
Wearing self down to bone
Went far beyond,...
