Fade Away
Sometimes I wish I could fall a million feet down
Smash to pieces into the rocky ground
No more worries no more fears
No more obligations No more tears
Nothing but darkness all around
No more voices No more sound
I wish that I could be a bird that flies away
Nothing left to tell you, no more to say
I wish that I could find a place so far away
Nothing left of me to be
I would cherish darkness
Emptiness
Just let me fly away tonight
Real love has never been a thing
Never found a reason to be me ...
Smash to pieces into the rocky ground
No more worries no more fears
No more obligations No more tears
Nothing but darkness all around
No more voices No more sound
I wish that I could be a bird that flies away
Nothing left to tell you, no more to say
I wish that I could find a place so far away
Nothing left of me to be
I would cherish darkness
Emptiness
Just let me fly away tonight
Real love has never been a thing
Never found a reason to be me ...

Wall of Sleep
I close my eyes
Let the darkness take me in
As I fade away
I hear your voice call out to me
I see you there
A shining light that draws me near
When you went away
My heart was broken for all time
nothing left to say
A million tears still left to cry
When darkness falls
I feel a stirring in my heart
Let the darkness bind us now
On loves eternal shore
Let me hold you close
Just one minute more
Our love can last forever
Behind the wall of sleep
I live my life in dreams
Never will I...
Let the darkness take me in
As I fade away
I hear your voice call out to me
I see you there
A shining light that draws me near
When you went away
My heart was broken for all time
nothing left to say
A million tears still left to cry
When darkness falls
I feel a stirring in my heart
Let the darkness bind us now
On loves eternal shore
Let me hold you close
Just one minute more
Our love can last forever
Behind the wall of sleep
I live my life in dreams
Never will I...

Inkwell of the Night
The night is vast and dark
always leaves its lasting mark
upon the things I write
upon these words I pen
Words I would never say
aloud in the light of day
gather here together
collecting again in shadow
Whispered truths to longing ears
blending together hopes and fears
as I refill my well
as I redip my thirsted quill
Looming large above the paper
lit only by this single taper
I am my own author
I am my own poet
While I trace each lonely line
in a pure quest for the...

ALARM
Sweet and dreamy ringing of the xylophone
Fills the empty silence with its resounding tone.
Bouncing off the dark room walls,
Charms the night fall
As I sleepwalk by day and stand on paved bricks
Blinded by the folds of the midnight mix.
Never knowing where I’m going or where I’m headed
Oh, my! I know I’m starting to regret it!
But, the hypnotizing soft-tone strikes of the xylophone
Gently creating its soft melodic tone
Seductively entices me to sleepwalk some more
With my eyes wide shut but with feet on floor.
Clock...
Fills the empty silence with its resounding tone.
Bouncing off the dark room walls,
Charms the night fall
As I sleepwalk by day and stand on paved bricks
Blinded by the folds of the midnight mix.
Never knowing where I’m going or where I’m headed
Oh, my! I know I’m starting to regret it!
But, the hypnotizing soft-tone strikes of the xylophone
Gently creating its soft melodic tone
Seductively entices me to sleepwalk some more
With my eyes wide shut but with feet on floor.
Clock...

Tempest
I nightmare without form
just a torrent of a storm
free, yet let loose at sea
as if now meant to reclaim
So much more in a name
than just the scant letters
than the few syllables
with such epic hidden fables
For what hides dark inside
cannot ever be denied
by any new science
or mere act of defiance
As I let the fury rage
capture what I can on the page
going with the violent flow
let the tirade now show
Until my ink is dry...
until I can no longer try
left unable to resist ...
just a torrent of a storm

Taper
The lone candle burns
lets its flame sashay
in its own way
flooding my imagination
While shadows on the wall
dance up and down the hall
finally set me free
from all of this convention
To allow poetic invention
inspiring this write
in the dead of the night
giving it a true resurrection
No mere collection
of clever, pithy phrases
an illumination that dazes
all most rational thought
A crisp clarity now bought
one line at a time
paid for in pure rhyme
while this poet again learns...

Light Needs Shadow
I still remember it well
that first time I stole
how it made me feel whole
how it cast its own dark spell
Even though I got caught
I wore a smile on my face
knew this became a place
to which I had been brought
Embracing my cold shadow
feeling its grey ambiguity
with such sensual acuity
knowing what I still know
How I am truly part evil
able to do such bad things
pull out these dragonfly wings
just to savor their retrieval
So, dark thoughts fill my mind
as I again take to the street ...

The cryptic word
does long to be heard
intent on seeming innocent
within these lines of verse
For better or for worse
these predictions
share their maledictions
in an ominous way
Unlike the words we say
the ones we now write
haunt the restless night
with each spill of bled ink
Leaving us on the brink
of eternal resurrection
or deep dark insurrection
depending on how we recite
A most perilous delight
blending us with its ending
a most literary omen
...

Dreams
Sweet dreams I wish for in my dark times
But I never find my way
Darker visions seek me in my weakness
Tearing at me shredding me
I long for love and tenderness
And yet I only tread the darkest paths
Into the swirling depths I fall
All is dark and full of pain
Let my heart Fall away
May my life be redeemed
There is no order to this place
Visions pass before me unresolved
Waking mind is parsed and scattered
Sleeping mind finds order in the chaos
Are these things real
It seems so in...

Machines
The machines are coming
I hear them at night
In the walls
I see them sometimes
Out of the corner of my eye
Following me
They are here now
All around us
They whisper in binary
They see in infrared
You cant escape them
They run to fast
They know where you are
They read your thoughts
They look down from above
They see through the walls
I feel them in my brain
Electronic spiders
They are speaking to me now
A digital diatribe always in my...

Seek
In the house of the black rose I found my self
Servant to an unknowvn god
Bleary eyed dark mind full of smoke
Searching for my center
What brought me here said I
Visions of black clouds fading
As if waking from a dream
Memories melt quickly into the mist
As I return now to the real world, slowly
I try to capture the memories
But they are forever gone
Burned away by the bright sunlight
I had thought this dark world melted away
And yet it persists and overtakes me
Broken and forlorn, full of darkness ...
Servant to an unknowvn god
Bleary eyed dark mind full of smoke
Searching for my center
What brought me here said I
Visions of black clouds fading
As if waking from a dream
Memories melt quickly into the mist
As I return now to the real world, slowly
I try to capture the memories
But they are forever gone
Burned away by the bright sunlight
I had thought this dark world melted away
And yet it persists and overtakes me
Broken and forlorn, full of darkness ...

sunshine shadows cast
reeds intertwined to darkness
a shelter is born
reeds intertwined to darkness
