Poet Introduction
I presume to know nothing and any guidance I accept with ears and eyes wide open, I learn something from someone everyday.

The Letter From A Child
Written from a child's point of view to a absent mother who abandoned her. This is real stuff, venting from a child who is very close to me.
You can never know what a letter can mean,
Till you've been where I've been, and seen what I've seen.
Confined to a world where I feel left so far behind ,
Where nobody sees you and it seems you don't care.
When I'm asleep, sometimes I wake up alarmed,
Thinking my family has all been harmed.
Just dreams, I realize as I come to my senses,
I look out the window and dream of white picket fences .

Broken Stained Glass Lenses
Get your facts straight, can we make that clear?
Lost in space
But have no fear...
Twisting and turning down this unicorn's waterfall
The delicate blooms of petals fade,
Across the universe of dragons breath.
Unknown thoughts of a fairy in flight.
Seeking oneself in the all seeing eye
Weeping willow where I lay my tear soaked cheek,
As cloudless skies flicker thru space and time
The distance forgiven is as beautiful as fate.
Can we get one thing straight?
The facts are not all that clear when looked at thru stained glass lenses.
Lost in space
But have no fear...
Twisting and turning down this unicorn's waterfall
The delicate blooms of petals fade,
Across the universe of dragons breath.
Unknown thoughts of a fairy in flight.
Seeking oneself in the all seeing eye
Weeping willow where I lay my tear soaked cheek,
As cloudless skies flicker thru space and time
The distance forgiven is as beautiful as fate.
Can we get one thing straight?
The facts are not all that clear when looked at thru stained glass lenses.

Visions
In your eyes are far away, distant knowledges.
Leaning toward my innermost self at last.
The movements made, have been fated to be.
Just when you think there's no direction home,
That's when you become like dust in the wind.
Looking foward to you shedding old skins,
To have a broken heart healed, so brave and true.
Can't lie to yourself about this mutual attraction.
No matter the trials or the tribulations,
I want you to know that you are my direction home.
Leaning toward my innermost self at last.
The movements made, have been fated to be.
Just when you think there's no direction home,
That's when you become like dust in the wind.
Looking foward to you shedding old skins,
To have a broken heart healed, so brave and true.
Can't lie to yourself about this mutual attraction.
No matter the trials or the tribulations,
I want you to know that you are my direction home.

River Of Stix
In my final hour, only the Lord'll know where I'll be,
I only hope that my soul won't be lost in the breeze.
Always dreamt that I would have my head shot off,
Brains blown away, not just some random shot.
Angered enough people that I know my days are numbered,
Can't allow my mind to dwell of these thoughts of being murdered.
Dreading the day, but not fearing my fate,
With the reaper, I know I hold and inevitable date.
Wondering who will pull the deadly trigger,
Hopefully it won't also be my grave digger.
If it is, I pray that...
I only hope that my soul won't be lost in the breeze.
Always dreamt that I would have my head shot off,
Brains blown away, not just some random shot.
Angered enough people that I know my days are numbered,
Can't allow my mind to dwell of these thoughts of being murdered.
Dreading the day, but not fearing my fate,
With the reaper, I know I hold and inevitable date.
Wondering who will pull the deadly trigger,
Hopefully it won't also be my grave digger.
If it is, I pray that...

Karmic Warnings
Is it better to burn out than to fade away?
These scattered thoughts are hard to convey.
World is turning into such a battered shelter ,
No one caring what the future holds, all helter skelter.
Immortal gates opening, parallel planes that emerge,
Stars and planets of the cosmos are about to converge.
Darkness sneaks its claws into the weak minds,
Of those who ignore the gradual but blatent signs.
Souls sold for wealth, talent, or insatiable greed,
Soon the buyer comes collecting and he holds the deed.
Illusions of grandeur that...

Mind Like The Cheshire Cats' Smile
The bitch was like a steamroller, couldn't do anything, she was bi-polar. They said she heard dark voices, so I assumed she couldn't make her own choices. She ruled my childhood with an iron fist, the beatings were only first on the list. The woman has been dead and gone for years, but I still remember those haunting fears. It was her way or the highway, and the abuse was each and everyday. I realize that meth was her self medication, she may have felt it helped, but it only caused hallucinations. Her fury was a morbid condition of mental illness, to take a walk in my shoes would push most to...

The Truth Of My Heart
I have never met a man who is so wonderful, you've made my heart bloom like a flower so beautiful. Your smile and laugh make me act like a silly teenager, you've taken me under your wing, where I'm not a stranger. I want you to know you mean the world to me, I'll have to prove that to my heart you hold the key. You are someone in whom I can place my total trust, if anyone screws with me. their heads you'll bust. We have already faced tribulations, but it has been a blast, I feel that ours is a long lost true love, made to last. It makes me feel loved to know on you I can always count, my...

Masters Of War
Can't fathom all this pain and degredation, rich keep getting richer and the poor face starvation, we should start an uprising a positive retaliation. The government men are gonna continue as planned, shipping our jobs over to some foreign land, just when you think you're ahead they kick you down where you stand. Some call it poverty or a recession, some, another great depression, but all I can see is our governments money obsession, look back at nazi germany's actions for an early reflection. Unassuming victims that insurance companies deem population control, all the money...

Prepare for war
Sound the trumpet for the enemy is straight ahead, steady your nerves be careful where you tread, put your mind at ease remember what I said. Prepare for war... He took her down and put a bullet in her head, he is a coward and from me he now has fled, I must avenge the love for which she's bled. Prepare for war... I hear her voice sadly echo across the lake, it causes vengeance to burn deeply in its wake, even thru death this love is nothing fake.

Valium rose
In a moments time you will receive transmission, as a response to my condition. I don't put much thought to it, my life is full of disillusionment. I take a stance at condesending glances, so don't act like we haven't had our chances. So don't stand by me like you know how bad it hurts, when you're affected by the fiction, the truth hurts far worse. Vailum rose valium rose, no one knows where she grows. Valium rose valium rose celophane melted closed. I woke up the weed was missing. I must have not been listening. The door was locked, I guess the window was open. I have the...

No love lost no love gained
Just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, wondering if it's better to be lost than to be found. Waiting on the day that I ruin happiness again, seems as if the end is near even as I begin. Always before my mind was lost in confusion, love and tenderness are the perfect solution. Wasting away losing my fucking mind, seeking distraction to keep up the daily grind. Black thoughts bouncing thru my numb heart, harder and harder to tell these miserable days apart. Slowly the rage builds till its like a time bomb ticking...
