Bloodseeker
Once again I'm on the prowl
Slinking swiftly through the shadows
I release a fearsome howl
Pierce from my fangs won't be shallow
I have a drink before I sink
Into darkness, still ravenous
Don't even blink, best not to think
Driven by will, this need to kill
This urge to feed, not mourn or grieve
For loss of life, thus is the tithe
That they must pay for all the ways
They've kept us down, hiding underground
Now no more will...
Slinking swiftly through the shadows
I release a fearsome howl
Pierce from my fangs won't be shallow
I have a drink before I sink
Into darkness, still ravenous
Don't even blink, best not to think
Driven by will, this need to kill
This urge to feed, not mourn or grieve
For loss of life, thus is the tithe
That they must pay for all the ways
They've kept us down, hiding underground
Now no more will...

ill
Wake up in a pile of needles
Hypnotic suggestion
Narcotic ingestion
The disease keeps coming back for more

My Wife is a Shovel
Sometimes, I think that I might be a little bit pretentious
Scribbling these words down, hunched over on park benches
Try to make each rhyme come out more clever than the last
Why not make the next one even better in contrast?
Escalating, reaching up for that rung overhead
At the same time digging deeper, to this shovel wed
Search for hidden treasures, but there's no X to mark the spot
Unearth forbidden pleasures, so let's upturn that parking lot
Where creative thoughts sit idle, left in the dark forgot ...

Search for hidden treasures, but there's no X to mark the spot

Mortal Reminder
Tic
Toc
Time is running out
Don't waste it 'til there's nothing left
For you to dream about but death
I know how cruel, how so unfair
This mortal burden be all must bear
Takes its toll upon our minds
As the past stretches further behind
Nowhere to look but straight ahead
Into the void, you're filled with dread
What lies behind that curtain's veil?
We won't know 'til our skin turns pale
You'll just rot in the ground I'm sure
To hell with gods and souls and lore
Decay until you are no more ...

ANGER POEM

Pushing Back
Now I don't need to be consoled
I've broken free from your control
And as I feel my hands tremulate
I know it's you I should not emulate
Difficult it is to shed
Half a lifetime worth of dead
Feelings, numbed emotional expression
But there will be no more repression
This unburdened breath refreshing
As I feel my life progressing
There's no looking back except for retrospection
I'll steal one glance behind, that's the only exception,
Just so I can be certain that I'm clear of your infection
If I see you...

This unburdened breath refreshing

I'll steal one glance behind, that's the only exception,
Just so I can be certain that I'm clear of your infection

Hexed
You there
You've desecrated
The tomb of my ancestors
Beware
Of the texts sacred
Speak a curse upon trespassers
Bloodline to be extinguished,
One by one you fall to mischief
Supernatural predation
Even if you leave this nation
Haunting eyes will follow
Yearning and hollow
Waiting for the moment
They will bring final atonement
For the way you've disrespected the gods and the ancients
You thought that you had beaten the odds, now anxious ...

Conjuror of Horrors
You relax in your warm bed
You pull those covers over
You lay back and rest your head
Your eyelids sinking lower
Finally they close and open a new world to imagine
Subconsciously give life to anything that you can fathom
Visions of magic, angels, and demons
A wonderful landscape ripe for my scheming
Visions so tragic, painful, and bleeding
The best part, you won't even know you've been dreaming
Driven to madness, disdainful, tears streaming
No turning back until you wake up...
You pull those covers over
You lay back and rest your head
Your eyelids sinking lower
Finally they close and open a new world to imagine
Subconsciously give life to anything that you can fathom
Visions of magic, angels, and demons
A wonderful landscape ripe for my scheming
Visions so tragic, painful, and bleeding
The best part, you won't even know you've been dreaming
Driven to madness, disdainful, tears streaming
No turning back until you wake up...

Defiant
What am I doing here?
I just keep fighting through the years
I tire but I can't let up
Even when I've had enough
There's no slowing
I just keep going
Problems keep on growing
Constantly complicating
Everyone just loves berating
Getting stuck on every gripe
But now I wish you'd shut your pipe,
So I can live in peace
But I know that you'll never cease
Until the day you are deceased
I've learned to shrug it off with ease
And let go of uncertainties
I...

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

Keep On
Forget about your worries, your hardships, your fears
Forget about the laughter, the friendships, the games
Played again and again until they tire and move on
But you remain alone to practice, honing skills, rigorous
Training with no teacher, educated by your failures
You'll soon reach the peak of what you can achieve
On your own with no assistance from the masters
You must find your way there, show them your mettle
And form new camaraderie with those who defeat you
You'll be tattered and thrashed, courage worn away ...

You must find your way there, show them your mettle
And form new camaraderie with those who defeat you
You'll be tattered and thrashed, courage worn away ...
