Trades of The Old
The future remains fond of past creations
But neglects the sequel to its own passions
New ways fail to cling onto the roots that bind
Reinforcing an indication of things to come
Feeble traditions lose their luster and gleam
Costly arrangements promote their downfall
Laboring yesteryears dedicate themselves
Through the thick of time they push forth
Memories sustain the message they live for
Breathing souvenirs into the lungs of new
Fate harbors pleasing worlds of former lives
Forever lingering within trades of...

Left Behind
Unknown worlds have pried me open
Breaking off the seal of my wounds
A body of lessons is torn at the seams
Guilt takes over the light of day
A curse is bestowed upon my shame
The noise enhances the echoes in me
Breaking the sweet silence I long for
Forgiveness hits rock bottom once again
It lays beside what is left of my will
Striving to overcome the darkness I live in
The longer it waits the farther it falls
My weepings strive to shake off failure
I count on what is left behind, deep inside
Breaking off the seal of my wounds
A body of lessons is torn at the seams
Guilt takes over the light of day
A curse is bestowed upon my shame
The noise enhances the echoes in me
Breaking the sweet silence I long for
Forgiveness hits rock bottom once again
It lays beside what is left of my will
Striving to overcome the darkness I live in
The longer it waits the farther it falls
My weepings strive to shake off failure
I count on what is left behind, deep inside

Flowing
Tomorrow's yesterday is here today
Ready to forgive recovering ideas
Creation feeds on what makes it starve
Pictures of warmth melt a frozen bliss
Shedding light at the heart of serenity
A smile reaches a worthwhile cause
Life considers what belongs to it,
It being the mirror of its own image
One that drowns in the waves of harmony
Esteem crosses boundaries of the unreal
Pride inhales pleasure for its own sake
My senses take in the flow once again
Ready to forgive recovering ideas
Creation feeds on what makes it starve
Pictures of warmth melt a frozen bliss
Shedding light at the heart of serenity
A smile reaches a worthwhile cause
Life considers what belongs to it,
It being the mirror of its own image
One that drowns in the waves of harmony
Esteem crosses boundaries of the unreal
Pride inhales pleasure for its own sake
My senses take in the flow once again

Savior of Mine
New heights transcend the unveiling
Of several anchors of sorrow,
But shall whistles of the coming dawn
Reveal the sound of a cursed offspring?
An endless circle of false visions
Will baptize a child with raped dreams,
Just as an evil blessing would satisfy
The appeal of one's fading aspirations
A gift of the blind chases me
To the edge of life's craving desires
Tears turn into the blood that flows
Across the valley of fortunes
Listen how despair unfolds the laughter
Behind a hidden agony
Watch how vengeance pours...
Of several anchors of sorrow,
But shall whistles of the coming dawn

A gift of the blind chases me
To the edge of life's craving desires
Tears turn into the blood that flows

Listen how despair unfolds the laughter
Behind a hidden agony

Endless Desire
A silent blessing, a heart of dreams
Nothing but a vision torn at the seams
My hollow song brings a season of tears
Faith has overcome those fallen years
A twinge of grief makes the urge fall apart
But once the seed is planted, the hunger starts
I must reach, grasp, embrace and conquer
The glitter of hope just makes me stronger
Behold my profound and meaningless gesture
Reality confines me like a frame does a picture
I touch, I sense, I feel, but it's too late
Some force has come to seal off my fate
My deepest wishes, and...

My Nevermore
Time has singled me out, without a doubt
My insides are cold, confusions unfold
Ice age reckoning, frozen years melt away
Picking dreams from a garden of memories
A flashback blows off a casual moment
The roots of my mindset are rediscovered
Never asked for pity, or a severed reality
Tempted as always, signs of defiance and sin
...The true mark of a shallow soul
One's vicious cycle, echoes from down below
Hunters stalk about my isolation
...

Gateway
Whispers of silence cast aside the sweet embrace of solitude
I long for time to claim life's divine glories and heated sins
The sole answer to a child's cry to deliver its future's freedom
Now lays hidden within the secret shroud of a blackened heart
Darkness eventually overcomes a fool's lost command of assurance
Faith no longer constitutes the remedy for scarred memories of sorrow
My soul is slowly drained of wisdom's strength to uphold innocence
Ages of reborn madness surface in the pages of written mystery
Recognition of eternity's flame offers...

Withdrawn
Fleeing innocence can be seen on a distant breeze
Slowly drifting through a storm of stray emotions
Past tides wash the shores of an endless journey
The desert I tread leads to the edge of my cravings
Beyond a path of bold fortunes and memories lost
Where scenes of a lonely landscape are revealed
Barren fields of unborn commitments chase salvation
Challenging my wits to live by locked away principles
This unforgiving shrine my essence must transcend
The elements take revenge on the winds of fear
My hunger for life is driven to strike...

Outdone
Reduced attention spans convey predictable visions
Frequently covering the sight of those well-advised
As the slightest change in patterns leads them forth
When secured possessions lay in a helpless position
Fleeing assets take cover behind vulnerable defenses
Hordes of insatiable givens remain discontent
A gap of pleasing needs is filled by a will to gratify
More is exemplified by the presence of lessened haves
Satisfied objectives mourn the passing of former dreams
Redefining the world in the image of infinite...

Long Time Gone
Caged and corralled, erratic, frantic one
Driven to embody the weight of sanity
Mind wrecks seated in the bowels of time
Skins of long term pain
Pealed off the remains of many forgottens
Pawns of fictitious pasts
Renditions of a weeping heartbeat
Morality, a runaway gust of deceit
Fueled by an ordeal of beliefs
Salvaging remains of the weak-stricken
Save me, resident of the virtual immune
Opportunity of the wise, my fall from grace
Inhibited...

One's Sacred Refuge
Alone, the nomad repents, forever chained to regret
The mistress of his memories reveals the road to follow
With a taste of her wrath, she subdues his pride
Beware! As noble eyes stare into the lights of hell
A dead calm hovers above the seas of salvation
My maiden of evil ignites the flames of damnation
Hers is the grip of mercy that clings to my loss
How much more will my wounded spirit endure?
Seven daughters of misery breathe down my chest
Love spins the web that channels my heart's release
Hidden feelings deceive my quarry of...

Shades of Grey
Shadows of opinions ride an empty night
Wrapping themselves around the numbness of choice
High above pleading alternatives they soar
Righteous perceptions twist the rights of this world
Moving in ways that challenge the loyalty they seek
Feeding off promises that make the dawn scream
Waiting by the side of hidden intent they lay
Seeds of faith grow out of a thousand angers
Surfacing at the call of freedom's deliverance
Patiently, they beg for mercy to cleanse confusion
To soothe doubt and heal wounds...
