Pain
I’ve picked up a traveler
Somewhere I didn’t see.
An acrid deleterious nag
That revels tormenting me.
A puppeteer
Malicious with an infinite desire
To humble and control
This oh so, insignificant soul.
How can I end
This wanton affair
Of the traveler
I've picked up
Not knowing
Somewhere

Prepare Yourself
Let us stand at death's door
To wait and be summoned within
Listen to the cries of the terrified souls before you
They have no poise left
Will you weep for your judiciaries
Will you cower, plead and soil yourself
Like an infant awaiting the sting of corporal punishment
Will the tears and grand spectacle reward you again
What do you have to lose
Dignity dies with your humanity
Bring your crosses and your holy water
Sprinkle it unselfishly
Let it bless your resting place
Until you are summoned to appear
...
To wait and be summoned within
Listen to the cries of the terrified souls before you
They have no poise left
Will you weep for your judiciaries
Will you cower, plead and soil yourself
Like an infant awaiting the sting of corporal punishment
Will the tears and grand spectacle reward you again
What do you have to lose
Dignity dies with your humanity
Bring your crosses and your holy water
Sprinkle it unselfishly
Let it bless your resting place

The Other Side
It calls to me
A whisper yet strong and alluring
Its voice loud in my mind
Cool like the autumn breeze
It stirs something within
I struggle to recognize it but
Nothing comes to mind
I can’t turn away
It’s so loud and inviting
So lovely to hear
It beckons and I want to go
Go and see
Go and stay
Where I feel safe
Like a child in its mother’s shadow
The new but familiar home
Someday,
I will go

Mourning Has Ended
My mourning has ended
I have shed my last tear for you
It is time to move on to another
Time to rest and recooperate
Take these dreams of regret
Bury them in hallowed ground
Let them give life to butterflies
Let them take flight and carry sorrow with them
I’m too tired to care anymore
I have suffered too much already
I have to lay this pain to rest and
Search for a new love to hold
Let those good feelings grow and
Fill the emptiness in this body
Let the sunshine clear the clouds over this furrowed brow
Come rainbow...

Meer Mortals
I do not want to be
Where people bring their sorrow
Hugged to their breast
As an offering to the deceased
For their peace of mind
I do not want to see
Women crying on bended knee
Men pretending to be brave
Defiant to be
Mortality's slave
Let us bury this pain
With it mortality
For both define
Who we really are

Darkness of My Addiction
Under it’s belly
My feet couldn’t touch the ground,
Between it’s claws
My body was strongly bound.
Up, up and into the sky we went.
The tears and the praying
For the life that was miss-spent
Breathing its fire
It looked at me and licked its teeth,
No one will save you from me
Tonight,
I will feast

Prayer for the Damned
Oh withered body once of stone
Now cast out from the garden
To suffer in the sin filled world
Of dominance and shame
Gather your strength and
Carry me back to the place of my birth
Let me remember the beauty of the moment
When life first breathed into my soul.
Oh withered body once of stone
Protect me from the rain of my sorrow
And coldness of my fear.
Silence the cracks that slowly creep and threaten
To turn my very existence to rubble and dust.
Oh withered body once of stone
Forgive the callous demeanor ...
Now cast out from the garden
To suffer in the sin filled world
Of dominance and shame
Gather your strength and
Carry me back to the place of my birth
Let me remember the beauty of the moment
When life first breathed into my soul.
Oh withered body once of stone
Protect me from the rain of my sorrow
And coldness of my fear.
Silence the cracks that slowly creep and threaten
To turn my very existence to rubble and dust.
Oh withered body once of stone
Forgive the callous demeanor ...

The Season of War
The Season of War
( Part 1)
From my mound freshly laid
I sat and gazed upon the melancholy view
Of stone and manicured lawn
Dappled with plastic flowers and faded ribbons fluttering in the breeze.
I pondered the trip, delayed as yet
A second plan not known to me
Till winged angel perched above
Dark with soot upon its downy descended.
Clawed soiled feet, scrape against the marble marker,
Ebony talons tighten then grip, cracking the veined gravestone.
I have come for thee, ...

Leave Me Be
A subtle gesture can wake the sleeping anger,
A whisper,
A sigh,
The wink of an amorous eye
A smile with no regards of where it may land
The gentle vibrations of a waving hand
Quiet!
Leave me be
Let me weep and digest
The acidic turmoil of my broken heart

Toxic Flowers
Toxic flowers in bloom,
Attract their prey
To their doom.
Aromatic pheromones
Designed to allure,
The Black widow
Smells as sweet
To be sure

Self Pity
Here I sit and
Dine on my pity
Of the people I knowingly displeased.
Here I sit and
Whine on the morrow
Of the things I regretfully failed to do.
Here I sit and fight to
Drink the bile that sprang
From the well of mine own sins
It has left me without the will
To taste of life
Never more
