In love for a day
Love last for a day
By chance to linger on
Never to wander again
Forever in love for a day
Our love glistend and bloomed
Like the moist morning dew
Love at first sight
One glance and we knew
Our love was the fire
Of a noon day sun
Secret desires melting
Till we became one
Then on came the night
And the frozen bitter winds
Somehow we both knew
Our love was to end
In love with a day
That became forever
Ceaselessly wandering
Bound and tethered
In some other time ...
By chance to linger on
Never to wander again
Forever in love for a day
Our love glistend and bloomed
Like the moist morning dew
Love at first sight
One glance and we knew
Our love was the fire
Of a noon day sun
Secret desires melting
Till we became one
Then on came the night
And the frozen bitter winds
Somehow we both knew
Our love was to end
In love with a day
That became forever
Ceaselessly wandering
Bound and tethered
In some other time ...

ANGER POEM

Toxic
Incinerate into ashes
All emotions held for me
I no longer live in your presence
Only in memories
A spectral force
To haunt your waking thoughts
Reckoning with vengance
For the bitterness you wrought
Did you vision the apocalypse
Annihilation in denial
Awhile since your smile
Has dripped with venomous guile
Preposterous poser
Reflected back in the mirror
The albatross followed
While the grave drew nearer
Erased from existence
Found out as a fraud
Couldn't live with the shame ...
All emotions held for me
I no longer live in your presence
Only in memories
A spectral force
To haunt your waking thoughts
Reckoning with vengance
For the bitterness you wrought
Did you vision the apocalypse
Annihilation in denial
Awhile since your smile
Has dripped with venomous guile
Preposterous poser
Reflected back in the mirror
The albatross followed
While the grave drew nearer
Erased from existence
Found out as a fraud
Couldn't live with the shame ...

Ominous dreams
Vision of the future
Through ominous dreams
Death beyond death
To see what i've seen
It's what i'll be missing
After i'm gone
That sends a sharp chill
Straight through to my bones
Years in the future
Boys all grown
Outside in the yard
With kids of their own
And my beautiful wife
Tears of joy in her eyes
Standing hand in hand
With someone else by her side
And I'm just a memory
That's fuzzy and gray
They try to cling to
Before my sickness took me away
I awake with a...

Not perfect
I'm seeing you both
Through a different perception
What used to be love
Morphed into deception
Sometimes I think
It must be my fault
That I must've broken
Some sacred law
I beat myself up
Wondering why
I'm constantly served
A plateful of lies
What you call sensitive
Is my weakness no more
Sometimes you need to see
My cut open sores
I'm not a robot
With gears for a heart
Locking my feelings
Alone in the dark
Something is missing
When I see your faces
Void...

Numb
I thought I knew you
But things have changed
What once was
Has been rearranged
Things seem different
Your in disguise
Became a master
Of conjuring lies
I long to go back
To the time before
Your presence wasn't awkward
And I felt adored
They say time heals
But I know that's not true
It just makes me numb
To my feelings for you
But things have changed
What once was
Has been rearranged
Things seem different
Your in disguise
Became a master
Of conjuring lies
I long to go back
To the time before
Your presence wasn't awkward
And I felt adored
They say time heals
But I know that's not true
It just makes me numb
To my feelings for you

Programmed generation
Dark lonesome roads
Lead to the dustbin of suburbia
Where a perpetual sunset
Hangs over slowly decaying youth
The excitement long gone
From the faces of jaded teenagers
They traded their spit and vinegar
For fake lives in a digital dream
Where does this leave us?
To twilight years in a corroded world
Memories of the trailblazers
Lost amongst the clickbait
Hold a fading candle
For their failed realization
They know not what their missing
In this programmed generation
Lead to the dustbin of suburbia
Where a perpetual sunset
Hangs over slowly decaying youth
The excitement long gone
From the faces of jaded teenagers
They traded their spit and vinegar
For fake lives in a digital dream
Where does this leave us?
To twilight years in a corroded world
Memories of the trailblazers
Lost amongst the clickbait
Hold a fading candle
For their failed realization
They know not what their missing
In this programmed generation

Just a dream
I've spent eternity
Just beyond your reach
Hanging on the seduction
Of every word that you speak
Slow motion glance
And the closing of your eyes
Is the suns glowing view
Through a radiant sky
I could hold you in my arms
And sense your every thought
Knowing that your presence
Was everything I sought
But to me your just a dream
That will never come to be
An unachievable treasure
For which I have no key
Just beyond your reach
Hanging on the seduction
Of every word that you speak
Slow motion glance
And the closing of your eyes
Is the suns glowing view
Through a radiant sky
I could hold you in my arms
And sense your every thought
Knowing that your presence
Was everything I sought
But to me your just a dream
That will never come to be
An unachievable treasure
For which I have no key

To fade away
To fade away
I choose not
Where is grace and dignity
When man becomes brittle
Creaking and moaning
With every move
Mind shot
No memory of the past
No hope for the future
Except the gleaming brillance
Of drawing his last breath
Strangers surround
A suffocating room
Yet dependent
On their every move
Death is a welcome dinner guest
That never seems to attend
And this so called life
Overstays its welcome
This life was over long ago
A ghostly spectre now roams ...
I choose not

High life
My wife went away
The devil came to stay
I'm livin' the high life again
Down in the gutter
Just pass me another
I'm livin' the high life again
It's all up from here
Ain't got no cares
I laid it all bare
In my shrinks chair
My biggest fear
Is running out of beer
Gone are the days
Of thinking clear
No white picket fence
I can barely pay rent
But I'm on top of the world
Without that naggin' girl
I'm livin' the high life again
The devil came to stay
I'm livin' the high life again
Down in the gutter
Just pass me another
I'm livin' the high life again
It's all up from here
Ain't got no cares
I laid it all bare
In my shrinks chair
My biggest fear
Is running out of beer
Gone are the days
Of thinking clear
No white picket fence
I can barely pay rent
But I'm on top of the world
Without that naggin' girl
I'm livin' the high life again

Letter
I'm writing you this letter
To see if you feel better
I know when you left
We weren't seeing eye to eye
I hope that you are happy
And spend your hours laughing
Yes, i know it's true
That you found another guy
Talking
To myself
Think I
Need some help
Lonliness
Left a stinging welp
Across my broken heart
Me, I'm doing fine
Just wasting all my time
Missing your sweet voice
I wish you'd never said goodbye
One day I shall have you
But you won't have a clue ...
To see if you feel better
I know when you left
We weren't seeing eye to eye
I hope that you are happy
And spend your hours laughing
Yes, i know it's true
That you found another guy

Think I
Need some help
Lonliness
Left a stinging welp
Across my broken heart
Me, I'm doing fine
Just wasting all my time
Missing your sweet voice
I wish you'd never said goodbye
One day I shall have you
But you won't have a clue ...

Carry on
I wake my eyes
To a newborn day
Wonder if it'll be the same
As yesterday
Will the rain come
Pouring down
Or will the sun
Peak through the clouds
And ease my pain
Well I don't know
What tomorrow brings
Perhaps I might just
Earn my wings
For Heavens gate
And I'll say...
You are my sunshine
You are my shield
You helped me live
In this world
When I didn't think
I could go on
The shadows got
My mind again
You remind me of a joke
And they go away ...
To a newborn day
Wonder if it'll be the same
As yesterday
Will the rain come
Pouring down
Or will the sun
Peak through the clouds
And ease my pain
Well I don't know
What tomorrow brings
Perhaps I might just
Earn my wings
For Heavens gate
And I'll say...
You are my sunshine
You are my shield
You helped me live
In this world
When I didn't think
I could go on
The shadows got
My mind again
You remind me of a joke
And they go away ...

Lost in ashes
Night arrives
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes
In its sultry starry splendor
Sleeping giant stirs
With suffering to render
Fortress for the forgotten
Lies beneath gilded soil
Awakened with sorrows dreams
Enticing dead blood to boil
From cracking earth
He does rise
Bringing shrieks of madness
And merciful melancholy cries
Displeased gods
Exacting their vengance
Bringing a quick end
To unwanted tenants
Rivers rage with fire
While toxic fume gnashes
Island nightmare unleashed
Paradise lost in ashes
