Poet Introduction
Constantly trying to evolve my style. Partial to dark writings
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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

The Spectre's Storm
Clap, thunder roars like a lion
Clouds hang above as if sighing
Creak, branches sway with defiance
Leaves rustle in close alliance
Howl, wind's grueling, ghastly gale,
Demands attention with its wail
Crash, torrential rains descend
Tears of sadness, laughter blend
All colors are faded grey,
Reflections in puddles betray
Broken body, heart, mind, portrayed
Found courage to be afraid
Release all of the tension,
Vanquish negativity
Passion will be your pension...
Clouds hang above as if sighing
Creak, branches sway with defiance
Leaves rustle in close alliance
Howl, wind's grueling, ghastly gale,
Demands attention with its wail
Crash, torrential rains descend
Tears of sadness, laughter blend
All colors are faded grey,
Reflections in puddles betray
Broken body, heart, mind, portrayed
Found courage to be afraid
Release all of the tension,
Vanquish negativity
Passion will be your pension...
