Murderer Nature
Oh Nature, what kind of mother are you?
Me thinks you are cruel and unfair!
In others you impart loads of talents, in others a few!
About others you care more, about others you hardly care!
Nature, you are more of a murderer than a mother:
Your favourites, when ripe old, you pluck;
Your least favourites in their pods you smother,
Or you curse them with long life devoid of luck!
Your favourites boast of intelligence, beauty and all.
Your least favourites suffer of intelligence e.t.c a dearth.
Gave you them life so you could treat them so? ...

THE ENTRAPMENT
THE ENTRAPMENT
Where as much I do weep at knowing the joy, the warmth, the feeling at peace, the comfort of a warm embrace, sweet kiss, the fire
But I am unable nor want to compete knowing I know the soft caresses, the warm embraces, lucious kisses and raging desire
Where as much I do weep at caring too much, remembering moments shared that may never happen again, loving too deep
But I am unable to respond other than what is true to me, offer you what I have and then you decide, awaiting, and this is....
where as much I do weep
...

Dark Dreams
She breaks his heart,
For each night they spend apart,
Feeling the weight of loss and despair,
Sobbing in the pages,
That now seem lost in ages,
The lovely dream seems like a nightmare.
Now he writes in vain,
Sitting and writhing in pain,
Thinking his letters somehow will get to her,
But the ache is so deep,
As each night he loses sleep,
The sight of his beloved is becoming a blur.
He takes all the blame,
As the ink bleeds her name,
Pouring all his emotion on every leaf,
With each tear he drops,
He sighs and...

A love so untrue
A love so untrue
Your a affection and love that I pursued
Is it truth
Or are you just a prelude to toxic destruction
An eruption of blood and sweat an tears
Which is what I feared I was so sincere with my emotions but it's seems like you were handing me potions to get me going through the motions
Of love so untrue
A feeling of love begins with learning overtime the signs of truth is the prelude of actions
Truth will stay in your faction
There's traction
In a love untrue
Your a affection and love that I pursued
Is it truth
Or are you just a prelude to toxic destruction
An eruption of blood and sweat an tears
Which is what I feared I was so sincere with my emotions but it's seems like you were handing me potions to get me going through the motions
Of love so untrue
A feeling of love begins with learning overtime the signs of truth is the prelude of actions
Truth will stay in your faction
There's traction
In a love untrue

DESICCATED
Heard the Siren singing
It echoes through the fen
Suddenly I'm swimming
Inside my head again
Save me, I'm helpless
Abandoned and breathless
The glaze over my eyes
It shrouds what I long to see
Are you still alive?
The years, they pass us by
I've died so many times
My past has become a dream
But the heart remains perpetual
It's the only thing that's real
And our fate remains eventual
No matter how we feel
Just come alive
Just tell a lie
Anything but nothing
Felt...
It echoes through the fen
Suddenly I'm swimming
Inside my head again
Save me, I'm helpless
Abandoned and breathless
The glaze over my eyes
It shrouds what I long to see
Are you still alive?
The years, they pass us by
I've died so many times
My past has become a dream
But the heart remains perpetual
It's the only thing that's real
And our fate remains eventual
No matter how we feel
Just come alive
Just tell a lie
Anything but nothing
Felt...

Realities Wrath
Sky darken by the rain,
Tears from gods eyes drained.
Torn from the blindness,
Gods wrath shows no kindness.
Paying a dept,
A promise I've kept.
I will burn this body for my sins,
By the devil's grim.
A world without color,
A place even a blind man won't follow.
I walk along this path,
Trying to stop gods wrath.
I journey solo,
Hoping to gain my halo.
But times are tough,
Never doing enough.
No place to call home,
No place to roam.
Standing still,
Watching, absorbing and learning, wondering if this...
Tears from gods eyes drained.
Torn from the blindness,
Gods wrath shows no kindness.
Paying a dept,
A promise I've kept.
I will burn this body for my sins,
By the devil's grim.
A world without color,
A place even a blind man won't follow.
I walk along this path,
Trying to stop gods wrath.
I journey solo,
Hoping to gain my halo.
But times are tough,
Never doing enough.
No place to call home,
No place to roam.
Standing still,
Watching, absorbing and learning, wondering if this...

DAZED & CONFUSED
DAZED & CONFUSED
I am often wandering about and I'm mixed-up & dazed.
Feeling so hopeless, empty, and so very horribly ashamed.
Not know who I'd turn to when I am feeling so crazed.
By so many who have and will continue to go unnamed.
Feeling clumsy and awkward, do I dare to even reach out?
I'm so unsure and unbalanced, riddled with self-doubt.
Mumbling on thoughts as I wander myself here and about.
Wearing my fake smile when really I wanna cry and pout.
My hearts shattered, so many pieces are lost or askew.
And my minds in...

She got really mad
Sent strong signals along her way
As houses were totally destroyed by heavy waves
And pieces dispersed into the sea.
Sent strong signals along her way

Know This
Know This
I stand here,
not knowing anymore
which way the wave is going to come....
or if the waters may prove timid before the point
of no return comes rushing into view.
That which must not,
cannot be feels like it is a possibility.
Once more that screen is obstructing view.
Take it down.....
take it on down.
I want my sight to be through
shiny glass.
Do not doubt
but it is a clouded mind.
Unsure now of what is sure,
I can tell but do not feel the certainty.
That dragon pulse...

Confused Connection
Life is unique.
Love isn't perfect.
We weren't cherished.
We were loved, but not cherished.
Affection is very important to me.
Your influence has seized my attention.
I recollect my own confused intuition.
You are kind enough to deflect my ego.
Then one day the same question is mimicked and remains.
Why?

the fly didn’t understand the concept of glass,
could see the trees and
the flowers and the
grass outside, but kept banging his head
