I Will Wait For You
I'll be waiting for you
In the dust and the ashes
I'll be waiting for you
In the snow and the cold
I'll be waiting for you
As the light fades
Look for me
I am here waiting for you
Find me
I am here waiting for you
Come back to me
I am here waiting for you
I grow older waiting for you
The leaves yellow and fall
I grow older waiting for you
Shadows lengthen against the setting sun
I grow older waiting for you
Gnarled vines entangle my feet
You come to me in white
I wait for you no longer...
In the dust and the ashes
I'll be waiting for you
In the snow and the cold
I'll be waiting for you
As the light fades
Look for me
I am here waiting for you
Find me
I am here waiting for you
Come back to me
I am here waiting for you
I grow older waiting for you
The leaves yellow and fall
I grow older waiting for you
Shadows lengthen against the setting sun
I grow older waiting for you
Gnarled vines entangle my feet
You come to me in white
I wait for you no longer...

The Bells of San Gimignano
The Bells chime
Their sound sublime
Reminiscing of a past time
Tang, clang, tang
Olive trees sway
Lining the way
Where the hill lay
Tang, clang, tang
Dotted with brush
A countryside lush
With the call of a thrush
Tang, clang, tang
Wind rustles the trees
Their leaves wave with ease
floating on the gentle breeze
Tang, clang, Tang
The old towers stand tall
Leaning as if they may fall
They guard against all
Tang, clang, tang
Rippling in the sunset
Is the crumbling...
Their sound sublime

Promises of Peace
The crescent moon lights my way
A silver sliver that leads me astray
In the distance a lulling sound reaches my ear
"Shhh" it tells me "Sleep now Dear"
I have yet to reach the place where I may sleep
The place where I will lay my soul to keep
A little closer I venture, watched by my moon
The lullabies grow so loud I begin to swoon
Promises of peace in this empty land
Promises of dreams lay in my hand
Lit by moonlight, I stand bare
The precipice before me demanding its fare
A small price to pay I...
A silver sliver that leads me astray
In the distance a lulling sound reaches my ear
"Shhh" it tells me "Sleep now Dear"
I have yet to reach the place where I may sleep
The place where I will lay my soul to keep
A little closer I venture, watched by my moon
The lullabies grow so loud I begin to swoon
Promises of peace in this empty land
Promises of dreams lay in my hand

Lies
By and by we learn to lie
Not to hurt or cover with dirt
The inconvenient truths we meant
Through and through we lie, we do
Until we begin to believe our sin
Leaving behind the guise of lies
The thorns and horns burns and scorns
Rash decisions leave deep incisions
Visible to all through pride we fall
Look and look for trust took
From those we thought foes
Never to find what left us blind
Not to hurt or cover with dirt
The inconvenient truths we meant
Through and through we lie, we do
Until we begin to believe our sin
Leaving behind the guise of lies
The thorns and horns burns and scorns
Rash decisions leave deep incisions
Visible to all through pride we fall
Look and look for trust took
From those we thought foes
Never to find what left us blind

For Curiosity's Sake
The soft red glow illuminates my hands
Somewhat colder as I inspect them
Nothing is different but I still look
An audible click and the light fades
The shape of my hands disappears in the dark
A momentary flash in the distance
A jolt to my subconcious as I search for its origin
Subtle sounds draw all eyes in the dark
Never seeing yet still aware of what lies beyond our vision
We wait in perfect silence, Nothing comes
Disinterested, I look up just as the sky lights up
Far away the stars wink into and out of existance
A blanket that...

What Character Does A Man Posses
What character does a man posses
When world's end lies at his feet
The crumbling edifices of sanity tearing down the sky
Atop fields littered with pieces of humanity
And yet as the last vestiges of sense fade
The man is left alone
The character of the this man
Appalling, indistinguishable from status quo
What character does a man posses
As he watches his world crumble to dust
Rooted to the spot
Conscious of his stoic nature
A grand betrayal of all he ever knew
He shuns the world
Apart from it and amidst it
He...

To Be Abstract
To be abstract
With out shape or form
Is to be undefined as a matter of fact
A stalwart presence amidst a storm
A boundless ocean curtailed by worlds end
To be abstract
A definitive presence
Lacking cohesion yet intact
Originality, its very essence
The garden of knowledge it will tend
To be abstract
Free flowing literature
Lacking tact
Supplanting long standing scripture
In the mind of man it was penned
To be abstract
Is to be with out foundation
To be abstract
Is to be a unique sensation ...

Anticipation
That creeping feeling that slides down your gut
It never ceases and only hastens
slipping ever deeper it delves into your fears
Writhing and wrapping its sickly body around your being
Its intent apparent in its motions
The pervaded motive behind its actions seething out
You move yet remain where you were
You can't escape the subtle movements
They bind and break you stilling your breath
You snap from the pressure and the audible cracks resonate
Your back bowes at your lack of will
Eyes darting ever searching, licking cracked lips

The Person I Live With
Can't help but clench my hands
Nothing to do but everything to think about
Every moment is agony as I wait
Wait for what, I have no clue
The pronouncemount that it's over or that it's only beginning
Something inside claws at my heart
Every deep gash leaves more room for disgust
It fills up my wounds so they scab over with hate
Self-hatred I can't stop, It hurts so bad
This self-hatred turned pity that bleeds disgust
Self-loathing that I can only watch grow
Grow into something unrecognizable that looks me in the eye
Something inside that...

Loss
I look inside the truth
Standing outside the cold bites
A feeling of loss keeps me warm
The warmth is painful though
Leaving me scarred from the flames
I can't rid myself of this cloak
I try and fail, not my first failure
The burden weighs me down as I stumble
I shamble and ramble about past truths
No longer true but I can't let go
The past is holding me down
I dream of a better future
Dreams that are like smoke
I grasp for them to make them real
They vanish and all that's left is the cold
Once again the warmth...

Acceptance
The world around me is collapsing
The floors fall through and the ceiling caves in
I am an ant being crushed underfoot
All I know is the constant pressure that pushes at me
From inside I expand and from outside I am compressed
Everything that is and that was is insignificant in this moment
Only the pain of reality keeps me company
I suffer uniquely amongst the masses
Or so I would hope that my pain was my own
In many ways nothing is our own
We are human and the emotions we have are not unique
Love that is won and lost in the same turn
The...
