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...
Where sacrifice and death remain
A bloody wreath of thorn and bone

A vow to never yield within

For truth and light, their lives are sown
Through agony, through burning flame

Their blood becomes the seeds of might
That bloom within the darkest night

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...

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
there couldn't; be another

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.

CREATURES OF HABITS
As we exchange our own personal chains of thoughts and insight, into this senseless mindless trap between the lines of your own personal. REALITY of what is right and wrong 🤔 For have you ever been in a relationship or situation, that you have felt like a outer experience. FOR your thoughts and insight and imagination. 🤨 Become slowly something that you have or not never had to expected. TO ever happens to just you yet there is no longer a exception. TO the rules of what is known of your own personal life. 😞 AS people are creatures of habits. For a snake sheds it's...

Be A Man !
To be a man,
is not
to bully and push people around,
It's not
about testosterone fueled violence or black eyes at night on the town ,
It's not
to drink beer or silenceing your shame , money , reputation or having a trade .
It's not
about counting the birds that have perched on your pole.
It's not
About football , rugby or golf .
It's about protecting and caring for the ones that you love ,
Sacrificing your wants
Supporting your family
No matter what

All For You
Reach into my chest and tear out my soul to feed you
If that's not enough, twist a knife and make me bleed too
Let my insides pour to the ground
Let all that I am be all that I was
If some devil would come to me and offer a deal
I would sacrifice everything if it meant you could heal
The pain in your eyes is unbearable
You deserve to live free from burden
Your beauty and radiance is meant to outshine the sun
If my death could give that to you then hand me the gun
This world needs what you have
You will...
If that's not enough, twist a knife and make me bleed too
Let my insides pour to the ground
Let all that I am be all that I was
If some devil would come to me and offer a deal

You deserve to live free from burden
Your beauty and radiance is meant to outshine the sun

that he might live
Let us die as soon as possible, and by whatever process God shall
appoint. And when we are dead to the world, and nature, and self,
we shall begin to live to God.”—Adoniram Judson
a man must live each day, that he might die
and not go down into eternity
obliterated, like a whimpering sigh,
ignoble in its wasteful brevity.
the plots he scribbles daily on his page
(of fantasies, odes, ballads, tragedies)
will judge his ink with gladness or with rage,
sifting cacophonies from euphonies.
