On the Verge of Twilight
Will I cease to be?
Searching for the rapturous light
But darkness is all I see.
Striving to set my spirit free
Wandering through this endless night.
Will I cease to be?
Staring out across this Stygian sea
My gaze upon the horizon, show me a sign of twilight.
But darkness is all I see.
Eyes ashen and glazed with ebony
Can I truly get through this blight?
Will I cease to be?
This carmine stigmata set to mark me
So I must fight through this fiery plight
But darkness is all I see.
Mark here! To make myself of...

Synthetic Solstice
Oh the thousand woes of a frail heart!
When blinded by the hazy veil of infatuated love
Which we all believe to be a perpetual passion
As imposter emotions are on the rise creating a fake bliss.
Coming forth and growing stronger with each and every kiss
But now, on this very day I am left with nothing.
Is it possible to resist the pleasures of carnal flesh? Did we have something?
Or did you use your lies and charm to ensnare my heart
And flood my veins with your poisonous love injected by your kisses?
Did you play me for my love?
Mock my emotions...
When blinded by the hazy veil of infatuated love
Which we all believe to be a perpetual passion
As imposter emotions are on the rise creating a fake bliss.
Coming forth and growing stronger with each and every kiss
But now, on this very day I am left with nothing.
Is it possible to resist the pleasures of carnal flesh? Did we have something?
Or did you use your lies and charm to ensnare my heart
And flood my veins with your poisonous love injected by your kisses?
Did you play me for my love?

Fear of Death
Psychotic incisions,
Mental desolation,
Hopeless thoughts cast into black oblivion.
At the verge of collapse,
Lost in a shattered future,
Fate playing her games again.
A deadly game,
Left to my own devices,
Dark fantasies cloud my world,
Shrouded in a cloak of tears.
Falling from grace,
Devoid of happiness and love,
A blackened, tattered hole,
Bleeding out a scarlet misery.
A starless sky,
Empty and infinite,
The eternal black seeping deep through my soul.
Fear soaks into my heart,
Fear of...

Poker Game
A hand of cards,
In this simple game of poker,
And I’m betting my emotions yet again,
I’ve gone all in,
You’d think I would learn…
But I don’t,
I’ve laid it all out on the table for you,
Waiting to see if you’ll call,
But you don’t…
You neither call nor fold,
But sit there staring me down,
With eyes that sparkle with uncertainty,
Leaving all I’ve given you to sit and wait, laying there upon the table…
It’s been too long,
It’s time I withdraw my bet,
I never thought this love could become a game of vice,
But it has...

Leave Me to Fight for Us...Alone
Here we stand
Up upon this hill,
Fighting, you and me,
Fighting for us, for each other to remain together.
Staring out on the valley below
Filled with treachery and hardship
Pain and anguish
But you turn away and run,
Run from the problems that face you
Simply because it’s too tough,
You damn cowardice BITCH!!!
You leave me to fight alone,
To push through our troubles and fight for us!
Watching me take the blows,
Watching as I’m torn up, ripped apart
As I bleed and break…
And still you run when instead you could be fighting by my...

The Good Old Days
Nostalgic for those unforgotten days,
Days when none of this mattered…
No love stories,
No heartache,
No pain; except the occasional bruised knee,
Nothing meant anything and anything meant nothing,
Life was simple, suffice, easy;
Yes meant yes and no meant no,
There were no maybes,
No ambiguities.
We lived life to the fullest,
Neither fears nor worries plagued our minds,
We never thought ahead or planned things out,
Just went along,
Indifferent,
We never knew the outcome,
And back then it didn’t matter…
Now…
Now we...

Internal Conflict
Turmoil and pain upon my soul,
A ravaged battlefield,
Scarred and no longer whole…
My heart and my mind fighting for power,
My heart won’t let go,
I won’t let these feelings go sour…
But my mind knows acquiesce I must,
Accepting who and what I am to you,
A friend with broken trust…
Oh how that word rings in my head,
Echoing through the chasms of my heart,
But losing you is what I truly dread…
I gave my heart to you,
And I don’t want it...
A ravaged battlefield,
Scarred and no longer whole…
My heart and my mind fighting for power,
My heart won’t let go,
I won’t let these feelings go sour…
But my mind knows acquiesce I must,
Accepting who and what I am to you,
A friend with broken trust…
Oh how that word rings in my head,
Echoing through the chasms of my heart,
But losing you is what I truly dread…
I gave my heart to you,
And I don’t want it...

Perfection (Utterly Impossible but We Can Find It Together)
I lie in the damp, rustling grass,
Spellbound beneath iridescent stars,
A tranquil zephyr whisks against my face,
This silent night is so serene,
Lost in the sands of the infinite,
The still world, wrapped in a ghostly veil.
Passionate bliss under crystal moonlight.
You lie there by my side,
Holding my hand gently in yours,
Vibrant hair flowing in the breeze,
My gaze is adrift within those oceanic eyes,
Trapped for eternity,
Your melodious voice, a nightingale among pigeons.
Your aura imprisons me, slowly drawing me closer.

The Drum Beat Sounds
Oh how I miss it,
How I reminisce it,
The vigor, the enthusiasm, the adrenaline, the tension…
I miss the ratta-tat-tat of the snares,
The echoing boom of the bass drums dares,
Count by count, step by step,
1…2…1,2,3,4
Heart pounding,
Adrenaline pumping,
Step off,
Click click,
BOOM!
A wall of sound that pierces the air,
Sweeping you off your feet,
And leaving your skull rattling for more,
Sweat dripping,
Counting, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8&1…
Watching the drum majors,
Lone statues on the box flailing their arms every which way,...

The Bleakest Hour
The day wanes,
Morning started with a glee,
But now the brightest daybreak turns to dusk,
Ashes fall from the sky,
And the wind whispers a dying lullaby...
Tears running down your face,
A small pool beneath your feet,
You want to fall in,
Submerge in the sadness and despair,
Gasping for air,
Suffocating.
You want it to stop,
To breath again,
The headache, the tears, all you feel,
Just make it stop,
Yelling into the night sky,
And crashing down on your knees,
As you mutter under a choking breath..."Why?"
...

Just Never Enough
Part 1
It’s not enough, is it?
It never is, never was and never will be.
Defined by what you are and how you look,
Not by the heart that lies inside,
This damn world judging upon appearances,
Preconceived notions determined by what people see,
It’s FUCKING ridiculous!
So what if I’m a guy?
Don’t categorize me with all those pigs,
The simple-minded, shallow scum that taint your opinions.
It’s not enough to try and be who I am inside…
When you don’t even give me the chance to show you.
You say your past experiences scar your perceptions,...

They Don't Know, So Why Do We?
Innocent starlight,
Burning bright in the absence of sight.
Do they know direction? Is there wrong or right?
Simply balls of fiery plight enlightening the blackened abyss,
A hope for all in this void of darkness.
Do they know emotion? Can they feel joy or sadness?
They float there, alone in the abysmal air.
They know no different, no change, no truth, no dare.
Do they know thought? Do they have judgments to bear?
They do not, we as people stare at them each passing night
As we search for hope and belonging and the things that make us feel...
