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...

At Death's Door
Pinky toes, uncut
dipping under, the other side of life
Nothing
I felt nothing, for you
neither for them, my blood
The kindle outwicked
a will, my own
Nothing
I see nothing, a memory
visuals of faces, nor places
Time slowed down
almost stopped, counting backwards
Nothing
I heared nothing, a silence
no voices, calling after my name
And I, for no one
whispered
remembered
cared
Love, hope and faith
were just letters unspelled
I seek no...

Burnt Ashes In An Impounded Caddy
She stole my cigarettes
I stole her heart ...
She stole mine
But there was barely a start
She kidnapped my time
I Kidnapped her interest
We stole days and nights
Hours and hours in slow burning tempests
She stole my shirts
I stole her cigarettes
She stole my money
I wrote her passionate vignettes
She kidnapped our lives
We quit the cigarettes
She left us all in time sadly
Never to sing those sweet slow duets ...

Yes...
I stole her heart ...
She stole mine
But there was barely a start
She kidnapped my time
I Kidnapped her interest
We stole days and nights
Hours and hours in slow burning tempests

She stole my money
I wrote her passionate vignettes
She kidnapped our lives
We quit the cigarettes
She left us all in time sadly
Never to sing those sweet slow duets ...

Grief Trials
The losses in life create chasms
within the soul, perforations that leave
it easily torn
It's wounds bleed happiness and
create unseen scars that burn as
their made, leaving indelible marks
on a broken heart
So maybe time heals, but for now
it's far too soon, the scars however,
will be there forever
within the soul, perforations that leave
it easily torn
It's wounds bleed happiness and
create unseen scars that burn as
their made, leaving indelible marks
on a broken heart
So maybe time heals, but for now
it's far too soon, the scars however,
will be there forever

Uranium
The heaviest natural element known
My heart feels heavier and emptier still
My hollows echo with your silence
The reverberations can end me killed
Vibrate me open
Gush the lifeblood
Paint my portrait
For the Coroner's book of mugs
If time ...
I'll sign your name to it
Killed by ...
From above I look like a butterfly ...
My heart feels heavier and emptier still
My hollows echo with your silence
The reverberations can end me killed
Vibrate me open
Gush the lifeblood
Paint my portrait
For the Coroner's book of mugs
If time ...
I'll sign your name to it
Killed by ...
From above I look like a butterfly ...

HIGHWAY OF NO RETURN
Your burden is heavy and does not get lighter.
With the passing of years, you are a fighter.
You’ve fought through a tough life and now struggle with health.
I’d give anything to restore you back and make you well.
I’d turn back the hands of time and bring back the better days
Where you independently had things done your way.
I stand speechless before you at times
Without a word, a phrase, or a rhyme
As I see your health slowly declining
And your once-independence now reclining.
Your journey through illness scares me ...
With the passing of years, you are a fighter.
You’ve fought through a tough life and now struggle with health.
I’d give anything to restore you back and make you well.
I’d turn back the hands of time and bring back the better days
Where you independently had things done your way.
I stand speechless before you at times
Without a word, a phrase, or a rhyme
As I see your health slowly declining
And your once-independence now reclining.
Your journey through illness scares me ...

Broken Apart
Dismal are the caverns deep
that keep the sorrows breath inside
and so the awful memories creep
amidst a mind that cannot hide
But love has always been a thief
in disbelief I wail for peace
the screams and tears bring no relief
for this a pain that will not cease
Within myself your death I died
I tried to show you broken chains
sometimes the bonds too tightly tied
and dying is all that remains
So where then may solace be found
in the sound of a sacred heart
as part of me enters the ground
the rest is...
that keep the sorrows breath inside
and so the awful memories creep
amidst a mind that cannot hide
But love has always been a thief
in disbelief I wail for peace
the screams and tears bring no relief
for this a pain that will not cease
Within myself your death I died
I tried to show you broken chains
sometimes the bonds too tightly tied
and dying is all that remains
So where then may solace be found
in the sound of a sacred heart
as part of me enters the ground
the rest is...

So Much For Always
So much for always
as the masquerade of lies
unfolds and the reality comes
crashing down
No amount of lipstick or disco
ball light will change the face of
death and the fickle swing of a
blood stained scythe
So much for always
when never has in part, been the
bigger word that pushes smiles out
beyond the horizon, a dreamless world
Pressure forms diamonds but
it also plunges needles and the
brilliantly lit facets blind only
the ferryman now for the king is dead
...

Hear It Calling
Beneath the loam, where silence breeds
A shadow stirs in restless plight
I buried him, my crime unheeds
Yet feel his clawing in the night
His voice, a rasp through fetid air
A specter’s hymn, a curse untamed
It bids me down the stairs in despair
Yet no tongue speaks the damned unnamed
Scratch, scratch beneath the floor’s tight grain
The boards do shudder at his call
Each groan and creak becomes a chain
That binds my soul to rise and fall
The grave exhales its rancid breath
A miasma cold, my guilt laid bare ...
A shadow stirs in restless plight
I buried him, my crime unheeds
Yet feel his clawing in the night
His voice, a rasp through fetid air
A specter’s hymn, a curse untamed
It bids me down the stairs in despair
Yet no tongue speaks the damned unnamed
Scratch, scratch beneath the floor’s tight grain
The boards do shudder at his call
Each groan and creak becomes a chain
That binds my soul to rise and fall
The grave exhales its rancid breath
A miasma cold, my guilt laid bare ...

Blood In The Loch, Freedom Flowing Fjord
By loch and glen, the shadows grow
The heather drinks the twilight’s glow
With Robert’s men, we ride as one
Beneath the moon, behind the sun
The confessor marches with blades of steel
Their boots do crush the Highland’s keel
But o’er the fjord, the echoes ring
With battle songs we proudly sing
Through mist and stone, our paths are made
The sword our guide, the bow our trade
The stag does leap, the raven cries
And freedom lights the coldest skies
We strike by night, a shadow’s blade
In Bruce’s name, the price is...
The heather drinks the twilight’s glow
With Robert’s men, we ride as one
Beneath the moon, behind the sun
The confessor marches with blades of steel
Their boots do crush the Highland’s keel
But o’er the fjord, the echoes ring
With battle songs we proudly sing
Through mist and stone, our paths are made
The sword our guide, the bow our trade
The stag does leap, the raven cries
And freedom lights the coldest skies
We strike by night, a shadow’s blade
In Bruce’s name, the price is...

Carrying On
Is life only defined by death?
Opposite energy state run flat
Heartbeat on then switched off
Brain electrified then naught
Do the spaces in between the bookends even matter?
Yes, but no ...
Do the bookmarks carry weight?
Do the contents?
Does the atomic cost of life outweigh ... death?
Do the weights we carry suffocate us in the end?
Do our expiration dates ultimately do us in?
Does cosmic legerdemain rule us from without? Within?
Does the smile of your loved one make all else irrelevant to the dying box we exist in? ...

At Least There’s A Cure
Invisible devices bind, leaving such
beautifully deep and bleeding scars
A pain that pours from the secret places
seeping into the hearts of those we
cherish most, killing them
ever so slowly
Love is a disease
God gnawing at Adam’s rib, a rabid dog
chewing until the spit and bone dust
created Eve, then with blood and semen
she and he bred death
A demon called decay teaching that
everything rots for the fallen, laughs
at the lovers gaze, for he sees
the brutality artfully hidden and
