A Plea for Insanity
I wish to be insane.
For I know it well.
A silent predator that resides in my mind.
Deterioration of what was once alive and free of torture.
Instead a mask takes its place .
Covered in silence, shrouded in fog.
If truth be told, my mind would certainly scream for a voice to the silence.
And the silence remains.
Oh, How I wish to be insane.
For I know it well.
The silence watches, amused at what lay here,
Staring back at the silence.
A vast abyss had taken the place of my soul.
My heart dare not to approach. ...

Shut Up
Spirits scream in the night,
Vying for retribution,
Looking to the stars,
Unable to undo wrongs done.
A lone Raven spoke.
Quiet said the Raven.
You are to loud,
And talk to much.
Your vanity is a disease,
It is the weight that you carry.
The Raven spoke once again.
Take a walk,
I will fly with you,
Reveal your truths,
Then crush you.

Teresa's Alaska
I found love in a most unlikely place,
Never would have thought,
that I would have fallen under your spell so soon.
As soon as you came into my sight,
with no mercey,
You took my breath away.
Absorbed me.
Took over my soul , and watched me fall.
You walked away with my heart,
Took off into the mountains,
Floated away in the rivers.
Then you hid it, frozen in the glaciers,
Out of my reach.
I'm in your care.
You speak to me.
Leaving my emotions raw,
Untouchable.
For you,
Maybe just another person lost in...

Numb Nights
In the middle of the night,
When my dreams take over,
I see you most clearly.
The stories you tell.
An empty menagery,
Of colored fog,
Far fetched fantasies,
And dreams in color.
Promised flowers,
But no spring rain,
Leaving my emotions dry.
Looking for the clouds.
When the rain came,
You left me alone,
To fend for myself,
Cold and scared.
In the middle of the night.

Stories
Conversatios shared.
Then disguarded.
But not without consequence.
Eat at the table of stories told.
Feast upon the lies.
Now revealed.
Creating new tradegies.
Perpetuated by fear.
Let your lips spew more.
Of nightmares put to rest.
Said to be trickey lies.
While strange truths begin to emerge.
Life like.
And sometimes animated,
We give way to a tortured soul.

Unhinged
Speak only to me.
Of plea's unheard.
In the middle of the night.
You better run fast.
Make sure you hide.
Don't let me catch you.
Maybe you should scream.
Run from me.
Run from your soul.
Your secret hell.
I'll devour you alive.
Then spit you out.
You pathetic piece of shit.
Play hides and seek.
In the dark with your demons.
Dance with them one last time.
Seek only me in the twilight.
It's over now.
Scream out loud, help is'nt on the way.
Not for you.
Run from me.
Run from...

Found
My path does not lead to escape,
Ambition induced security,
Or a twisted sense of serenty.
Instead, My memories guid me elsewhere.
Bordering on actuality,
Vague visions of my soul.
Secluded with my thoughts,
Memories come to light,
While darkness slowly envelopes me.
Searching for my truth,
Awake and dumbfounded,
I wander.
Not of my volition,
But by another hand,
Guiding me down a road of uncertianty.
Paths that were unexplored.
In the twilight of the early morning,
Now viewed by my imperfect clarity....

Told
I think,
And have been told,
I think to much.
But if truth be spoken.
There is no deep thought,
People read,
Then try to contemplate,
The bullshit just introduced.
Just like the story I'm about to tell you.
A cool crisp morning,
It can be the start to the perfect day,
Or the final demis of your soul.
We all walk in our own.
Somes we walk alone.
Other times with our most intimate thoughts.
And with the wilds of our imagination.
In a moment of weakness,
Or with a sense of humor.

Our Storm
I wait.
For our storm.
The vague rumbles,
They surround my soul.
Tug at me.
Waiting
Clouds thicken.
Dark.
Black to the touch, they reach out.
To my dew drenched skin.
Watching.
Waiting.
For me to run.
From the lightening.
That is the spark.
Waite to run from the rain,
It wont stop,
Not for you or me.
You need to take shelter.
Cruel lightening,
Mencacing thunder.
The storm approaches.
In hiding,
I waite.
Looking.
For you.
In our storm.
For our storm.
The vague rumbles,
They surround my soul.
Tug at me.
Waiting
Clouds thicken.

Demons And Dreams
They chase me in my sleep.
And sometimes while I wake.
They are demons of unimaginalble proportions.
The demons read me,
Try to change me.
Crept into my mind.
They did.
While I was unaware,
Distracted.
They want to end me.
I can hear them inthe walls,
Ceilings,
And floors.
The niose.
The sensation.
Through my mind,
My body,
The fear,
Intrigue.
Searching for a life line,
It sank into the depths of my madness,
Where they live.
They would love for me to go there.
Where they could feed on my soul and...

Stormy Weather
My eyes of blue did rain that day.
And the pain came.
It still remains.
Bolts that resembled lightening,
Shook my heart in a thunderstorm of emotion.
The couds thickened.
Winds whipped and whispered,
Of a tornado on the horizon.
It ripped through my soul,
In a fury.
Not sure where to take saftey,
I jumped back into my heart with limited space.
Rising from the debris.
Destruction everywhere.
I search for you.
And the pain came.
It still remains.
