The Hooded Thief
The steel pipe,
stuck in your throat,
the barbed wire,
knotted in your stomach,
the cold hammer,
shattering your heart,
the hooded thief,
who steals your soul,
the lukewarm tears,
a release,
a relief.
the soft hand,
sheltering yours,
the soothing voice,
love saturated,
a neighbours nod,
signal of support,
Just a few words,
"sending thoughts and prayers",
the lukewarm tears,
a release,
a relief.
the lukewarm tears,
dissolve my fear,
I feel...

The Next Great Adventure
As we reach our prime,
Whether living on a dime,
or sipping gin and lime,
we see the light approaching,
and feel our souls entwined,
in deaths embrace.
Fear grips our necks,
Money, struggles, love, faith, sex,
is it all for nought,
losing all we learned and taught?
Or to paraphrase
a bearded great,
in his long, magical venture,
To the well organised mind,
is death but,
the next great adventure?
Entry in "death" competition.

We will never evolve again,
Until we learn to love.

Passion in the Dark
Our lonely hearts,
cry to each other,
find me,
in the dark,
let me whisper,
my yearnings,
as we share,
our passion,
our bodies,
before they,
come back,
and ruin the moment.
cry to each other,
find me,

let me whisper,

Heaven
A literal, spiritual sanctuary,
neatly placed in the skies,
where you can see them again,
children, women, men,
from way back when.
A metaphorical solace,
A vessel for our souls,
where they can be free,
from the confines of our body,
from the confines of we.
The only guarantee in life,
is not love, pain or strife,
but that time will come,
for us one by one,
to take our final rest,
and blend into the sun,
Souls free,
souls free,
and I feel,
happy,
happy,
Are we, ...
neatly placed in the skies,
where you can see them again,
children, women, men,

Soul
Something in the air,
I think I feel it moving,
Whisper in the wind,
I think I hear it calling,
telling me secrets...
telling me secrets...
Presence, maybe desperation,
Placebo, halts my elevation,
Searching for the secret,
something I can envisiage,
Habit of jumping to conclusions,
These must be mental illusions...
Something in the air,

Whisper in the wind,

Give Life
Give life by loving,
each of your brothers;
not just the ones,
who have the same mother.
Life is love and compassion,
I know it's not in fashion,
Let's break the trend, break the trend,
Let's not pretend, not pretend,
that we're on the mend.
Give life with compassion,
to the ones who've had to suffer,
Just muster,
all of your decency,
mould it into peace and see,
the beauty of tranquility,
the good-willed generosity.
Life is love and compassion,

that we're on the mend.

In The Presence (Of The People)
Cut the head off,
in the presence (of the people),
Slay the beast,
in the presence (of the people),
Take back,
what was taken,
the forsaken,
what was stolen,
and the fallen.
Bang, bang,
shoot for freedom,
Bang, bang,
shoot for guilt,
A shared regret,
to put war to bed,
Losing the brave,
to save the many.
Cut the head off,
in the presence (of the people),
Slay the beast,
in the presence (of the people),
Fight back,
as the presence (of the people),
Stand tall,
as the presence...
in the presence (of the people),
Slay the beast,
in the presence (of the people),
Take back,
what was taken,
the forsaken,
what was stolen,
and the fallen.
Bang, bang,
shoot for freedom,
Bang, bang,
shoot for guilt,
A shared regret,
to put war to bed,
Losing the brave,
to save the many.
Cut the head off,
in the presence (of the people),
Slay the beast,
in the presence (of the people),
Fight back,
as the presence (of the people),
Stand tall,

See Me Fail
I am humbled by your admiration,
innocent, no complication,
in your mind.
Your presence is jubilation,
innocent, no corruption,
of your soul,
I know,
some day I will watch,
as you fulfil your potential,
and know that I helped you,
reach the pinnacle,
of who you are...
Though deep inside,
the feeling brews,
my greatest fear,
that what I hold dear,
will see me fail.
Lived through trials and tribulations,
that you will never know,
spared of my struggles, ...
innocent, no complication,
in your mind.

However
Days or weeks,
Months or years,
Almost forgotten how to,
Count time away from you.
Fog of my mind,
My new best friend,
Hard to remember anytime before it burrowed in deep.
I finished crying, all my tears,
I left behind, all my fears,
I lost the pain along the way,
Learned to deal with it some way,
However,
I still miss you,
I still miss you,
Will always miss you.
My torture chamber,
The dark, silent night,
Where memories blaze alight,
And cause shadows to haunt my dreams.
It's bittersweet.

Kings
Our faith is our test,
Whether to a god,
Or to our kin,
And ourselves.
I am scared to yield,
To an unthinkable future,
But I'm fearful of fighting,
All on my own.
Stand along side me and we'll march on.
And we could be Kings,
Of our own kind,
A blessing or a curse?
Beacon of hope,
Siren of death.
Our faith is our shield,
Compliments of love,
And inner strength,
My faith is in you,
My dearest friend,
Stand with me now,
And we'll march forward,
We could be Kings,
Of our own...
Whether to a god,
Or to our kin,
And ourselves.
I am scared to yield,
To an unthinkable future,
But I'm fearful of fighting,
All on my own.
Stand along side me and we'll march on.
And we could be Kings,
Of our own kind,
A blessing or a curse?
Beacon of hope,
Siren of death.
Our faith is our shield,
Compliments of love,
And inner strength,
My faith is in you,
My dearest friend,
Stand with me now,
And we'll march forward,
We could be Kings,

Crown
How does it feel?
To have a million thorns piercing your head?
How does it feel?
That crown has cut you up so much I'm surprised you're not dead.
How do you live?
With all the choices that you made haunting your dreams?
How do you live?
A better person would never forgive his own destructive deeds.
I'm glad I've never been the person who makes up all the rules,
Rules are made to be broken and when they do, they'll come for you.
I'm glad I've never had to hide behind a crown of fear and might,
And never learn that sometimes it's...
To have a million thorns piercing your head?
How does it feel?
That crown has cut you up so much I'm surprised you're not dead.
How do you live?
With all the choices that you made haunting your dreams?
How do you live?
A better person would never forgive his own destructive deeds.
I'm glad I've never been the person who makes up all the rules,
