I didn't deserve this
I didn't deserve this.
So much work I give.
Dangling my heart upon a string.
Arms open wide.
Love never ending.
I didn't deserve this
Screams and screams
Penetrating my flesh.
Gnawing it's way to bone.
Till nothing but pain is left.
I didn't deserve this.
Waiting for the next cruel words.
To rip away any pride left.
Making each breathe more painful.
Till only screams are left.
I didn't deserve this.
Sharpened blade cutting deep.
Searching for the next gorgeous flow.
Hiding the pain...
So much work I give.
Dangling my heart upon a string.
Arms open wide.
Love never ending.
I didn't deserve this
Screams and screams
Penetrating my flesh.
Gnawing it's way to bone.
Till nothing but pain is left.
I didn't deserve this.
Waiting for the next cruel words.
To rip away any pride left.
Making each breathe more painful.
Till only screams are left.
I didn't deserve this.
Sharpened blade cutting deep.
Searching for the next gorgeous flow.
Hiding the pain...

Tick Tock
The hands on the clock
Tick tock tick tock
Oh the night the night
Just won't leave without fright
They said the pain
Would erase the pain
So thick is the blood
Faster comes the flood
Still the thoughts the thoughts
Raging questions and afterthoughts
Darker and darker the path
In loves treacherous aftermath
Oh the pain the pain the pain
Left after loves glorious stain
Crimson sheets waiting for love
Answers coming from above
They said it would surely ease
I'm begging and begging please ...
Tick tock tick tock
Oh the night the night
Just won't leave without fright
They said the pain
Would erase the pain
So thick is the blood
Faster comes the flood
Still the thoughts the thoughts
Raging questions and afterthoughts
Darker and darker the path
In loves treacherous aftermath
Oh the pain the pain the pain
Left after loves glorious stain
Crimson sheets waiting for love
Answers coming from above
They said it would surely ease
I'm begging and begging please ...

Visitor
Visitor,
On my door
why has your shadow not crossed?
Is it my companionship you do not want?
Is it greed that parts us from sharing?
Is it mine lust for thy company?
That keeps you from my presence
Night after night, room to room
I search for you my friend
It is for the sake of peace
Your name I scream
As I walk to and fro
With my head hung low
And nothing does my eyes see
Your gentle face I cannot find
Oh visitor
Where are you in the night
So many have found your arms
And want...
On my door
why has your shadow not crossed?
Is it my companionship you do not want?
Is it greed that parts us from sharing?
Is it mine lust for thy company?
That keeps you from my presence
Night after night, room to room
I search for you my friend
It is for the sake of peace
Your name I scream
As I walk to and fro
With my head hung low
And nothing does my eyes see
Your gentle face I cannot find
Oh visitor
Where are you in the night
So many have found your arms
And want...

My Lord
My
Lord God
Remove my blood
Take the pain from my heart
Place the power in my hand tonight
Pull my lonely heart from this evil world
Cover my soul with deep dark earth
Tell my friends to mourn not
Pull the shades to
Goodbye
Pain
Lord God
Remove my blood
Take the pain from my heart
Place the power in my hand tonight
Pull my lonely heart from this evil world
Cover my soul with deep dark earth
Tell my friends to mourn not
Pull the shades to

All alone
It is in this room full of souls
That I lie alone in the dark
It is in this room full of love
That that I feel nothing but
Loneliness
Velvety roses, bathed in a crimson flow
Still, I lie alone in the dark
Blurry eyes, endless weeping, and broken hearts
And my soul feels nothing just
Loneliness
Empty heart never to be hurt again
Still, I lie alone in the dark
Sanguine rivers turn to powdery dust
And the eyes show nothing but
Loneliness
Final goodbyes and fresh earth
And finally I'm...
That I lie alone in the dark
It is in this room full of love
That that I feel nothing but
Loneliness
Velvety roses, bathed in a crimson flow
Still, I lie alone in the dark
Blurry eyes, endless weeping, and broken hearts
And my soul feels nothing just
Loneliness
Empty heart never to be hurt again
Still, I lie alone in the dark
Sanguine rivers turn to powdery dust
And the eyes show nothing but
Loneliness
Final goodbyes and fresh earth
And finally I'm...

Vege
In the window stands a man, who neither looks in nor out. Upon his chest the weight of the world but, nothing does he feel. The sun upon his face but, the blood runs cold. Her disdain for life and love forces razors into every breathe. Wind blown passion scatters amongst the rocks. Tempestuous flowers lining the path, starving for the water that extends the grief. Tomorrow lives not, yet yesterday never dies. Her warmth and passion lights the fires in the arms that belong not. The velvety green oceans of lust peer into a dessert of agony and pain. Wantononly departing in an iniquitous...

Paper Cage
Oh words fail me not
For there has to be a greater plot
Let my tongue guide the way
So the memory will ever stay
Passionate words twisted in rhyme
Makin sweet love last for all time
Visions and thoughts pouring from the pen
Captured eternity for all men
Misunderstood words upon the page
Captured forever in the paper cage
Stories of how sweet the love
Glory manifest from far above
Never more will this be sought
For hereafter it will only be taught
Poetry and dreams exposed for the sad
Loneliness and...

What Should I Write?
What should I write with words tonight?
Should I write that demons dance in flight?
Maybe the stars are no longer in the sky
But, that would only tell a lie
Don't be silly the stars never left the heavens
Although I'm sure I saw a dragon with heads of seven
Those around can't see the end has come
Yet Satan has put my heart under her thumb.
Remember the days that my life was love
Now the winds have made me void of
So passionate was her smile
Now, nothing could be more vile
Through such a tiny void he came
Before...

Tranquility
Ravenous tranquility of the clay lips
Moistened by the bloods tiny sips
Fangs pierce deep into mortal wound
The bride's hatred hidden and perfumed
Motherly wings wrap the gentle soul
Feast filled at Satan's empty bowl
Squandered hopes paralyze with fear
Vanquished all but the final tear.
Darkness lights the path to hell
Loneliness is the only place to dwell
Round and round the light spins
Night flooded with her ghastly sins
Ravaged arms punish loves demise
Blood pours from the stricken eyes
Gentle lamb...
Moistened by the bloods tiny sips
Fangs pierce deep into mortal wound
The bride's hatred hidden and perfumed
Motherly wings wrap the gentle soul
Feast filled at Satan's empty bowl
Squandered hopes paralyze with fear
Vanquished all but the final tear.
Darkness lights the path to hell
Loneliness is the only place to dwell
Round and round the light spins
Night flooded with her ghastly sins
Ravaged arms punish loves demise
Blood pours from the stricken eyes
Gentle lamb...

Frances
Foraging the forest of love
Ravaging the hearts of men
Anhialation falls upon the weak
Neglect not the shield
Crushing is the evil will
Eroticism is lure to the heart
Sex shall break thy spirit
Games upon games arrive
Articulation lost in the sirens song
Madness meets mania as loves prey
Molesting the soul and devouring dreams
Omnipotence becomes the path
No more need to pray
She is the end…….
Ravaging the hearts of men
Anhialation falls upon the weak
Neglect not the shield
Crushing is the evil will
Eroticism is lure to the heart
Sex shall break thy spirit
Games upon games arrive
Articulation lost in the sirens song
Madness meets mania as loves prey
Molesting the soul and devouring dreams
Omnipotence becomes the path
No more need to pray
She is the end…….

Bridled Tongue
The bridled tongue and darkness spoke
Fiery dragons and the devil's joke
Softly in the ears it screamed
Foolishly a future dreamed
Broken fool's mockery and shame
Ravaged and thrown in the evil game
Black diamonds and bloods oath
Jezebel and the demons hand both
Deepened pools and the loves dance,
Round and round methodic prance
Hands on the clock fail to stop
Love makes an unfair swap
Screams mark the gates of hell
Tears ring and the echo of bells
Loneliness haunts the serenity of night
As loves...
Fiery dragons and the devil's joke
Softly in the ears it screamed
Foolishly a future dreamed
Broken fool's mockery and shame
Ravaged and thrown in the evil game
Black diamonds and bloods oath
Jezebel and the demons hand both
Deepened pools and the loves dance,
Round and round methodic prance
Hands on the clock fail to stop
Love makes an unfair swap
Screams mark the gates of hell
Tears ring and the echo of bells
Loneliness haunts the serenity of night
As loves...
