Dread
I awoke with a feeling
I wasn't alone in there
from across the room
I could feel the icy stare
a black amorphous cloud
hovered in the air
I could feel the anger
as it moved around my bed
as black as black
could possibly be
a cold wind over came
the summer nights heat
I asked it what it wanted
and whom it had been
it just stared right through me
bitter ,cold and clean
"You will never get her back"
"she now belongs to me"
said the dark black cloud
looking right at me
as I comprehended...

I seen you crying
waiting for the train
raindrops matched the tears
rolling down your face
where has your journey taken you
to make you feel this way
staring off into
the unrelenting grey
I turned to see
if I could help
but clearly I could not
the train had come and gone by then
leaving me at the stop
oh,the perfect vision
of a past left behind
weighs heavy on my heart
heavy on my mind
waiting for the train
raindrops matched the tears
rolling down your face
where has your journey taken you
to make you feel this way
staring off into
the unrelenting grey
I turned to see
if I could help
but clearly I could not
the train had come and gone by then
leaving me at the stop
oh,the perfect vision
of a past left behind
weighs heavy on my heart
heavy on my mind

Anymore
Headlights below
flying alone on a moonlit night
silvery cord
connects me to my earthly life
there you were
flying beside me in my dreams
it won't take
too much longer to escape
There won't be anymore
There won't be anymore
There we were
flying together on a moonlit night
flowery hillside
it gets closer in the light
in the morning
I will tuck you in your bed
it's a shame
we can'tfly like this again
There won't be anymore
There wont' be anymore
The journeys begun
but you won't take the final...
flying alone on a moonlit night

Hello again
The day I have awaited
now is drawing near
I am filled with happiness
and a little bit of fear
have the winds of change blown high
and cast me adrift
or will we look in each others eyes
remembering why we missed..

One Last Time
One last time
for old times sake
seems to me to be
the most common
and costly mistake
there has ever been
just like one more for the road
it has slipped into the past
a common misconception
I hope it's not your last
Do you ever wonder
just why we have these saying's
a decent dose of common sense
will get you through the days
don't rely on witchcraft
or a mystics read on leaves
just depend upon yourself
and your self preserving ways
for if you listen to your gut
because it never lies
an unknown intuition...

Voices
Are those voices
I perceive?
or pigeons cooing
on the eaves
distant whispers
tickle my ear
filling me with
joy and fear
Joy of seeing
someone new
fear of what
they may do
if they discovered
the secret that I have
held for many years
The trees
hold silent vigil
forever they're on guard
the mountains slowly echo
the rivers wandering song
the air so fresh it tingles
every sense alive
a secret worth protecting
until the day I die
Mother nature rules here
never have a doubt
she...

Your Desire
Crescent moon
over Gothic spires
tell me what
does this inspire?
dark creatures
lurking there
or romantic walks
in the cool night air
Illusion often
takes control
of our hearts
of our soul's
leaves you gasping
full of fright
or softly kissing
sweet goodnight
The choice is yours
if you choose to stay
all your dreams
will fade away
if you challenge
your status quo
you will receive
your just reward
For standing still
takes away
your soul's desire ...

The Sin
Waiting
alone in the dark
wondering what
made me start
was it the wind
or was it the sin
which has etched
my sunken heart
wanting
to have you near
silent whispers
to my dear
but that cannot be
you have gone
joyful memories
our favorite song
wishing
to meet again
seemed so foolish
to me then
now I see
differently
you're no longer
next to me
Willing
to travel back in time
to take back
all the crying
rip from you
that fiendish beast ...

Lost
Lost my direction
along the way
facing rejection
everyday
I search for solace
in strangers eyes
go away
like a lonely sentry
on the plain
I see my self this way
but reality crushes me down
just the same
wanted to lash out
and spread the blame
I was lost
but now I've
found my way
Facing an addiction
is a strain
like being
locked out in the rain
I see my life this way
I'm much stronger now
than I was yesterday
wanted to lash out
and spread the blame ...

At Last
waking in the
midnight hour
got to extinguish
a burning fire
the one that pounds
inside your head
it's siren song
could raise the dead
you know the one
for which I speak
your heart,it cries
when you are weak
gives you strength
for the task
another page
has come at last
midnight hour
got to extinguish
a burning fire
the one that pounds
inside your head
it's siren song
could raise the dead
you know the one
for which I speak
your heart,it cries
when you are weak
gives you strength
for the task
another page
has come at last

The Prize
I often wonder
what happened to
all the people
I once knew
do you find
this vexes you?
as the figures
drift through your life
some bring joy
some bring strife
some stay with you
through the years
some simply disappear
lessons learned
in time it seems
conjure up
many themes
darkness, laughter,bitter tears
all just symptoms
of your fears
but in the end
it seems your peers
help you out
through the years
sometimes we are
slow to realize
friendship is
the real prize
what happened to
all the people
I once knew
do you find
this vexes you?
as the figures
drift through your life
some bring joy
some bring strife
some stay with you
through the years
some simply disappear
lessons learned
in time it seems
conjure up
many themes
darkness, laughter,bitter tears
all just symptoms
of your fears
but in the end
it seems your peers
help you out
through the years
sometimes we are
slow to realize
friendship is

Blood red sky
Blood red sky
in the morn
there's a flag
faded and torn
whipping fast
in the wind
softly rippling
like sweet sin
staring off
into the sky
pondering the reasons
for and why
stands a man
with wet brow
searching horizon
from the prow
ever looking
for the land
for which he left
it seems unplanned
From the sea
arose the shore
but is that what
he's looking for?
