Sleep Dream
Send me off on petals made of metal
I lay wake I’m not dreaming
You go to sleep I look after you
I try to sleep but awake is calling me
You go to sleep when I’m not looking
I dream you sleep within me
I wake up screaming while you sleep next to me
I’m dreaming for both of us
You wake while I roll over and tuck under covers
Coffee is brewing while I’m sleeping
Your caffeine keeps me alive
Pulsing in my veins you arouse me
I sleep while you work awake
...
I lay wake I’m not dreaming
You go to sleep I look after you
I try to sleep but awake is calling me
You go to sleep when I’m not looking
I dream you sleep within me
I wake up screaming while you sleep next to me
I’m dreaming for both of us
You wake while I roll over and tuck under covers
Coffee is brewing while I’m sleeping
Your caffeine keeps me alive
Pulsing in my veins you arouse me
I sleep while you work awake

Te Te Te TENNESSEE
Te Te Te TENNESSEE
This is the land where we come from
Democracy dyin in the Sun
Run for a seat and get elected
Stand in the well and get ejected
Just for standing with the people
Who put me in place
decided my race
Te Te Te Tennessee
Little justice for me if I live in Tennessee
Injustice killin our babies
God forbid if I stand up
Rising sun of Tennessee
Democracy dies in the valley
This will not stand in the Sun
9 yrs old and in a pine box
Seems like Te Te...

compromise
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion
and the will to help others.”—Albert Schweitzer
it is unwise
to compromise
the truth,
whether the time
be of your prime
or youth.
the ways of man,
whether by plan
or chance,
mark well from birth,
upon the earth,
his dance.
it is unkind
to wear a blind
passport
to shield the eye
from those who cry:
in short,
turn not aside
those who must ride
the storm;
reach out and bless
those who know less ...
and the will to help others.”—Albert Schweitzer

a watchman

""papa...don't you get sleep?

I don't sleep
because
dreams remain awake
in your smiling eyes..."

The Bloody Crown of Martyrdom
O crown of crimson, soaked in pain
Where sacrifice and death remain
A bloody wreath of thorn and bone
Upon the brow of those alone
Lift high the blood-stained sign of grace
A martyr’s heart in death embraced
Each drop that falls from shattered skin
A vow to never yield within
O martyr’s crown, O bitter throne
For truth and light, their lives are sown
Through agony, through burning flame
They rise beyond the world of shame
Their blood becomes the seeds of might
That bloom within the darkest night
And from...

Ancient Pact of Iron
Through argent smoke and sigil’s glow
The iron spirits writhe in pain
Summoned forth from the deep below
Through rites of ash and binding chain
The magus chants with fervent zeal
Inscribed in glyphs of ancient lore
His voice a key, the arcane seal
To bend the wraiths and bar the door
Through spheres of Netzach’s twisted light
They coil ‘round rods of mystic lead
In shadows black as endless night
The rites are carved, the spirits bled
Unseen currents of ether pull...
The iron spirits writhe in pain
Summoned forth from the deep below

Bitter sweet
One more chance, one last fight
Pluck up courage and hold on tight
One more push, one more day
that's the price I have to pay
Take the better of me, parts unused
Keep that memory, it's not abused
then run away, while you still can
and don't look at me, this half a man
cause I'm such mess, I've gone astray
Maybe I'm just better of this way
Don't give it up, don't bleed dry
Wait little longer before good bye
Don't pull out, don't lose track
you're on your way, no turning back
Remember me, don't get...

unconditionally yours
in desolation, I weep inside
all my love for you
there couldn't; be another
it matters not how dark you are
I will still reach up and choose the same star
within my memories, I hold true
I'm not giving up on you
you listen to all my complaints
tears come only for you
don't say goodbye
you've done your best with my mind
listening to internal chatter must drain you
when do you rest?
I must confess my thoughts don't stop
suffering is a part of us
my heart aches when yours does
I am so insensitive ...
all my love for you

Atmospheric Exuberance
Into the swirling seas,
Spiraling colors designate waves.
Light and dark imagined,
Gathering common hearts,
The rainbow's pale eyes
Landed over seven times,
Global navigation.
Denied purpose and truth,
No citation for an anomaly,
Naked human wonder.
Stability fallen,
Sensuality aloft.
Gauging the balance,
Sacrifice is forgotten,
Traded for sin.
Explore the rain,
Deep shades of depression.
Chasing the wind's voice,
Haunted...

Immolation
Her faith was in me
She knew it was time to die
Sacrifice for life
She knew it was time to die

Always & Forever
This is my greatest happiness,
to spend my life with you.
Sharing trials and triumphs,
joy's & problems too.
To kiss you in the morning,
and hold you close at night.
To know we'll be together,
Whether days are grey or bright.
Sharing all the things,
that make our daily life.
This is my greatest happiness,
when I stab you with this knife.
to spend my life with you.
Sharing trials and triumphs,
joy's & problems too.
To kiss you in the morning,
and hold you close at night.
To know we'll be together,
Whether days are grey or bright.
Sharing all the things,
that make our daily life.
This is my greatest happiness,
when I stab you with this knife.
