Your Decision
The problems that you mentioned baby, we could've worked through
Tackled one by one, against me and you
I realize that the weight seems all on your shoulders
But I'll carry you and your problems, just let me hold you
I can see that the stress of your problems is messing with our minds
One minute we're in the road, and the next we're over the line
Why wont you allow me to approach unrestrained
Sharing your burden, easing the pressure on your heart and brain
You've gotta let me in boo, that's the only way I can prove to you
That I truly...
Tackled one by one, against me and you
I realize that the weight seems all on your shoulders
But I'll carry you and your problems, just let me hold you
I can see that the stress of your problems is messing with our minds
One minute we're in the road, and the next we're over the line
Why wont you allow me to approach unrestrained
Sharing your burden, easing the pressure on your heart and brain
You've gotta let me in boo, that's the only way I can prove to you
That I truly...

DIRSEQUENCE
DIRSEQUENCE
following directions plus finding out
there are unseen consequences when you do
You’ve been uninvited
To the future of your own lonesanity
(that’s loneliness plus insanity)
You keep telling me
You’ll forgive and take me back
Take me back?
Do you not feel, sense the
Intensilent air from me?
(that’s intense plus silent)
Do you not recall?
The things you said
The things you did
When you tried to devaluate
(that’s devastation plus retaliate)
Every piece of me
Because you...

Swallowing Fractions to Fill the Hole
The guy with the guitar reminds me of you
not his face
the sound of his voice
he can't have your touch
but I like the way his fingers move
when he plays
It's how he sings his stories
candid straight shots of tequila
with the shielded openness
you wield so well
Felt a twinge of guilt when I give him my number
acutely aware of the false familiarity
in shared glances while he sang
the flirtatious ease chatting between sets
...

Ancient Memories Part IV: The Clash of Fire and Water
- Ancient Memories Part IV: The Clash of Fire and Water -
Phae'rathi used to fancy herself as my little sister, then over time she became used to being treated as my daughter. But we had no blood between us, and over time she had become obsessed with me much as one who is in love with someone can sometimes become. She stood in the archway of our castle that overlooked the jagged, mountainous terrain of the part of the planet Ra'qia that was currently our home, and her eyes hid a growing madness that even I only learned of too late. She wore a golden mask over her face, her long...

Ancient Memories Part III: The Elemental Wars
- Ancient Memories Part III: The Elemental Wars -
It had been some time since we took the throne of the galactic empire and made it our own. Or had we merely remade a thing that already was ripe for change? It was difficult for me sometimes to try to adjust to my new role... I had not ever been so laden with responsibilities before, but also I had never known so many comforts. Even so, on certain nights I could not sleep easy... and the nightmares in all such hours would begin to stir, manifesting in forms I had not anticipated. On this night, it did seem as if the whole world...

Ancient Memories Part I: The Darkness of Terra Nithal
- Ancient Memories Part I: The Darkness of Terra Nithal -
During the turbulent period that followed Cyndijaz Megg's total assumption of power on the planet of Gehenna Primus, a period that lasted many long and bloody years... there was very little for me to do in that time, with the new ruler preferring to lead her loyal forces personally in just about every battle that came up. She gave me leave to do whatsoever my heart directed me to, and taking her up on this I had begun to make serious plans to leave the planet for a time. In preparation for this, I named my beloved consort...

Tears in the Wind
Tears in the Wind”
If one came home, one has only to open the door
Between the clouds of Heaven, and the distant shore.
We will meet again by the skies we find
With our tears facing into the wind,
And in the sun that sinks into the rain,
To say goodbye for the first time again.
One from seas that endlessly outspread,
And one for whom my tears endlessly are shed.
One with soul too pure to touch with sin
And one who knows the blasphemy of my skin.
My mind knows, but my heart is a fool
Longing for one whose love is...
If one came home, one has only to open the door
Between the clouds of Heaven, and the distant shore.
We will meet again by the skies we find
With our tears facing into the wind,
And in the sun that sinks into the rain,
To say goodbye for the first time again.
One from seas that endlessly outspread,
And one for whom my tears endlessly are shed.
One with soul too pure to touch with sin
And one who knows the blasphemy of my skin.
My mind knows, but my heart is a fool
Longing for one whose love is...

Words”
Should I touch you where you hurt me?
Shall I leave you as you desert me?
Nobody is coming to save me,
Not even those words that you gave me:
Those lovely words a phantom said
A kind of salutation that follows me to my bed.
I cannot be sure if I heard them right,
But there they are—echoes in the night.
But your hands are missing from the future
In the silken light of softest silver
That spills bestrewn from tomorrow’s moon
Nobody is coming to save me from that luminosity

Dangerous Streets
I woke up one day and realized that I had a lot of hate in my heart
It was within my blood, my thoughts weighed heavy on this
As my tears scorched my face, too hot to wipe away
Too angry to justify my reasons for this hate
So therefore I picked up this smile
And I placed it upon my face
Though my eyes spoke its truth my mouth refused to vocalize
Although my hands wanted to react my arms refused to initiate
Yet still I walked with hate, I wore it, like I wore my flesh
It was me and I was clearly it
