Poet Introduction
Hi ....
just a girl .... i knew
She was always such a pretty girl , born into an unpretty world . On her own at a sweet sixteen years old , Mom a drunk , never knowing her Daddy or told ... who he was or was not , leaving an empty hole , in her heart , in her soul . As she grew into that woman with her beauty and every mans looks .... she found her place among gansters , degenerates and crooks . A tragic movie star , her role the victim , always .... her heart , soul ... a scar . Yet believing she was a starlet living in a magic dream , just a movie , another scene , without any heros , just liars , cheats and zeros ....

a look .... away
I try to do something different this time .... again , my old friend , how many over and over agains , before it's a crime , to want to capture that unforgiving rapture ? We only know ... and chase that elusive embrace .... again . I thought I saw your face my old friend , yet I looked away and pretend I did not see , we , you .... are so better off .... again , as far as I can see , it is just me , there is not any we or you and me , just some missing piece of never .... I will seek peace , for me , and replace us with me .... It was your face , I can't look , yet I do , and will live...

jailbirds
It's nightime , lockdown , in this four walled world . A thousand voices rise to be heard over one another ... in this steel jungle , like so many birds , that constantly dream of flight .

untitled
i'm caught .... i'm caught in this silent rage , feel trapped in some fucking cage , like a rat in some insane maze ... i'm waiting , i'm waiting for all this to change ... for this fucking mess to somehow rearrange , because none of this is real and everyone is strange , i'm wanted .... i'm wanted where i don't wanna be , and not where i do , it is all so ... temporary , i'm twisted .... i'm twisted inside like a rubber band .... i need to be severed so lend me your hand , be swift with your blade ....or i am damned .......

altered space
two worlds colliding mine ... on flaming wings standing before an altar , a distant choir sings .... fragrant burning wax , melting like tears .... sealing nameless shame and unknown fears , I look up once more at His dying face , an begin my spiral down , my fall from grace , an angel screams somewher in my past , echoing my curse , half of eternity it will last .... the world I enter , so unlike the former , accusing eyes stab me from some souless mourner .... my father , my teacher I plead ...

before the sunset
unbroken darkness is shattered , by your radiant smile ...reaching hidden shadows , revealing forgotten feelings .... of light , of love and who i was .... before the darkness and the inescapable pain that would rain a constant reminder of feelings i would rather forget ..... my only regret was losing my place in the sun ......

divided
sometimes , when i'm falling apart ... again , and the man in the mirror is no longer my friend , my fears and shame ... become one and the same , man i once was ... before .... no longer , and the stronger stranger appears ..... and tears my heart and soul in two

hero/in the rain
there ain't no water in my rain , no feeling of my pain ...i'm full of doom ... under this dark sky , witout a moon. i'm a stranger , traveling down this dark road , my tracks are deep , from my heavy load , on this path to hell , so far from home ...one more shot for my aching soul , give me that fuel to roam . there's blood on my cuff ...aint got no fear . and hop that diesel , racing to nowhere , a hopeless chase morning to night , gotta get off , just to get right , cold chill in my bones , my soul aches , doing what i do , whatever it takes ,next could be my last , a pleasant way to die...
