Tribute to Callie, A Friend Lost Too Soon
In tender bloom, she graced this world,
Each day the gift of love unfurled.
For Callie, her name a tender song,
In hearts and minds, her memory strong.
A husband's love, a child's tender gaze,
Bear witness to her life's enduring blaze.
Though parted now, we feel her near,
In laughter's echo, in each falling tear.
She loved with passion, fierce and free,
Embracing life with unrestrained decree.
And though her journey has reached its end,
Her legacy, undying, will transcend.
For Callie’s beauty in...

Would you?
Would you remember my voice?
When I leave all this noise
Just a partner in the dance
Of chance and choice
Could you hear the words I say?
When the night takes my day
And the setting of my sun
Comes to steal the moon away
Would you understand the things I said?
Stingy with stories that remain unread
Ink in an unused pen too dry
Divine, full of dreams in a comfy bed
Do you know that I'll remember you?
Across the spans of the sands of the galaxies through
Within every single breath exhaled
Haled in every...

Grief Lives After We Die
As I die
mortals watch the day
crying for eternity
embrace your hand in mine
daylight torn
pity the sadness
no forgiveness
forever be
burning me
mortals watch the day
crying for eternity
embrace your hand in mine
daylight torn
pity the sadness
no forgiveness
forever be
burning me

Restrained
I am nothing
A darkness coming
nightmares by the sea
I tried to leave
right into the bliss
no good can come from this
my punishment strained
in death i am chained
my demons create tonight's decision
A darkness coming
nightmares by the sea
I tried to leave
right into the bliss
no good can come from this
my punishment strained
in death i am chained
my demons create tonight's decision

Death
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
My mom wants me dead,
A chilling truth, too true.
Her whispers in shadows,
Her gaze cold as ice,
In her heart, darkness grows,
A silent, haunting vice.
Yet under the moon's gentle glow,
I find solace, a refuge to flee,
From the torment, I must go,
To find the light within me.
For though her words cut deep,
And her intentions seem dire,
I'll rise above, I'll...

The Forgotten
Curse the sunrise
To sleep eternally
Lost kingdom of darkness
Centuries old
Eternal tragedy
Embrace the emptiness
Dissolve in sorrow

Ascension of the Downfall
A memory of a guided spirit
took me to the hollow land
rising dark tides from the rains
interrupted my visit
my last wish
before gravity pulls me under
children of the revolution
carving my name in the city of fire
took me to the hollow land
rising dark tides from the rains
interrupted my visit
my last wish
before gravity pulls me under
children of the revolution
carving my name in the city of fire

Rethreads
..in winter's pall cold sleeves of winter
from the ashes of September
as the pale wind blows
naked and in need of rethreads
silent snow of malignant cold
over the hoarfrost naked and exposed
waiting for the dust to settle
from rethreads on the hearse
bursting forth from the sleeves of a sinner
from the ashes of September
as the pale wind blows
naked and in need of rethreads
silent snow of malignant cold
over the hoarfrost naked and exposed
waiting for the dust to settle
from rethreads on the hearse
bursting forth from the sleeves of a sinner

Unmarked
Watch her as she trembles,
a child of the desert,
eyes like the Oasis of Kadesh
lips parted to the climate
arid, mingled nitrate
praying for freedom
of an open sea
place her on the hay bail
when the night
approaches
and as the dawn comes
and the sun ascends...
Lay her on the pyre
be wary of the sirens,
for her ears are filled
with scarlet
in a land that's plagued
with disease

red petal flowers
muddled,
red petal
flowers
bright
and dried,
using
the paint
from
her veins.
