I
Do Think
What I need
For now Are dreams
But when the dawn breaks
You can see The tears fall
The flaws in my well laid plan
Are not for want Of next day's smiles
Mere hopes of one ever lost
Cannot shift The burden
The hole in my heart
The weight Kills me
Drags me down
Sad Not
Gone
Do Think

But when the dawn breaks

The flaws in my well laid plan
Are not for want Of next day's smiles
Mere hopes of one ever lost
Cannot shift The burden
The hole in my heart
The weight Kills me
Drags me down
Sad Not

Lachrymal
(from some time back)
Expectant dreams but empty nights
Expectant flame that never lights
Hopefull heart grows only moss
Hopefull soul predestined loss
Grieving with a passion all its own
Leaden skies and icey rain
Leaden heart in timeless pain
Lonesome evening's reverie
Lonesome broken scatterd dream
Grieving for a lost love never known
Captive of eternal yearning
Captive and forever burning
Tortured soul and tortured heart
Tortured by an endless dark
Grieving for a light that never shone
Expectant dreams but empty nights
Expectant flame that never lights
Hopefull heart grows only moss
Hopefull soul predestined loss
Grieving with a passion all its own
Leaden skies and icey rain
Leaden heart in timeless pain
Lonesome evening's reverie
Lonesome broken scatterd dream
Grieving for a lost love never known
Captive of eternal yearning
Captive and forever burning
Tortured soul and tortured heart
Tortured by an endless dark
Grieving for a light that never shone

Fording the Styx
Surrealistic images converge,
Interlopers heralding
The disconnection from reality:
Half-hearted struggle,
Then...release!
Adrift in abysmal
Cryptic realms macabre-
Subtley alluring,
But with sinister overtones:
-So this is love?
Interlopers heralding

Adrift in abysmal

But with sinister overtones:

Butterfly Please
Sometimes while sittin' & thinkin' alone
In the darkness I can hear you whisper low
Of clouds forever blowin'
Never knowing when to stop floatin' all alone...
Sometimes in the moonlight, I can dream
'Till the sunshine comes to chase them all away
With the dawning of a new day
Leaving only emptiness & harsh reality....
Butterfly, please don't drift away
There won't be another day
For us, and the Autumn comes too soon-
Butterfly, believe me when I say
There won't be another day
For us, and I feel the Autumn's gloom.
Sometimes...
In the darkness I can hear you whisper low
Of clouds forever blowin'
Never knowing when to stop floatin' all alone...
Sometimes in the moonlight, I can dream
'Till the sunshine comes to chase them all away
With the dawning of a new day
Leaving only emptiness & harsh reality....
Butterfly, please don't drift away
There won't be another day
For us, and the Autumn comes too soon-
Butterfly, believe me when I say
There won't be another day
For us, and I feel the Autumn's gloom.
Sometimes...

Twitch
She breezes by, with beauty rare,
And so sublime, with features fair-
She leaves him smitten, standing there;
He yearns to ask, but does he dare?
Offers to the pantheon,
Snubbed by the Penates,
Reduced to mundane bits and baubles
Merely mock his fantasies....
With practised ease, the blow is struck-
The vanquished suitor curses luck.
He toes a pebble through the dust,
And contemplates this hapless lust:
The smugly saprophytic heart,
The basilisk of dreams,
And the moonlight's ressurection
Of fermented memories.

Hades' Lullaby
I am the bread before the starving,
The drink to quench all thirst-
I am the vision of the sightless,
And the balm for every hurt.
I am the path for those who travel,
And the ease for every lust-
I am comfort for the troubled,
And the dream of those who must.
I am mystery without equal,
The catch in lovers' breath-
I am waiting in the shadows,
And I am known as Death.

Nightsong
Nightwind and empty promises
Lead him to the ridge
Padding through the brittle tears
The stricken trees have wept...
Summit gained, panoramic view
Is vast, and still, and lonely-
Nothing stirs the silent mist
Which settles far below...
Gazing to the heavens,
Abyssal star-filled night
Plucks a chord on heartstrings-
A melancholy tune...
Softly glowing silver orb
Glides from tattered shrouds
To hear the lobo protest:
A hopeless soul's petition...
Lead him to the ridge
Padding through the brittle tears
The stricken trees have wept...
Summit gained, panoramic view
Is vast, and still, and lonely-
Nothing stirs the silent mist
Which settles far below...
Gazing to the heavens,
Abyssal star-filled night
Plucks a chord on heartstrings-
A melancholy tune...
Softly glowing silver orb
Glides from tattered shrouds
To hear the lobo protest:
A hopeless soul's petition...

Prey
Dogs
Of Black
The hunters
Drawing Nearer
Closer to my heels
SnufflingBaying wild
Confused asI elude them
Driven onward Salivating
Yearning the taste of my flesh
Tender meat Denied them
Enraged, they rush on
Howling Madly
They close in
To To

Leaves' love / Loves leave
Leaves
WereSere
Red and gold
Winter Had come
Stealing love softly
From my arms Flying off
Leaving a cold place behind
Empty but for Winter's onslaught
Stricken trees' kaleidescope
Wafting off Dancing past
Taking heart's desire
With ease Eager
Soft and swift
ColdStill

prisoner
Play your part, actor
on this alien stage;
In this world of illusion
and dreams-
play your part, clown-
life spits in your tears...

disguise
Hunger through the city stalks
seeking victims on the walks-
torturing methodically'
Cupid hunts with silent glee
seeking victims on the walks-
torturing methodically'
Cupid hunts with silent glee
