Wicked man comes this way - look out he'll take your soul - watching
alone beside the road - the oldest story told -
the evil way is one step more - try and hide your mind -
no one else here but me - telling you you'll find -
the golden key to happiness - push it in and turn -
holding close we watch the fire - your memory how it burns - fading
swiftly catch my hand - nothing there to grasp - nothingness is all you
know - erasure of your past.

Sounds of the night, feelings so new -
I lay beneath the stars dreaming of you -
Wondering where you are tonight -
Wondering if at this sky you might -
Be gazing upwards as I am now -
Seeing the same picture somehow -
I view a world without all it's pain -
The sorrow, the war, winter and rain -
Only the good things allowed to exist -
Laughter of children and lovers' trysts -
Only one goddess to govern this land -
And I, the lucky one, hold tightly her hand.

The ties that bind us break us down - heaven and hell weep not - rising
forth from pits of darkness - messengers of pain -
life is shortened quickly now - wall of same to hide -
make my memory unaware - send me acid rain -
no more blackness to unfurl - wiping the slate clean -
rage controls my every move - forcing downward fall -
stick the pins into your eyes - laughing as you scream - question why i
make you bleed - time for curtain call - sickened by your ugliness -
turn my face away -
quickening my step i run - stumbling as i go -
tears that blind my eyes stream down - nothing more to see - forget
sight burned into my mind - nevermore to know -
horrible visage of your face - melting into mine -
hades holds my darkness true - filter out the gleam -
dullness now fills my gaze - brainstorm disconnects -
slowly fade into the night - wake up, its just a dream

The way leads thru the darkness of the corridors of the soul - where you
must find the true name of the one who you extoll - the mindless
twisting creatures wear the flesh right to the bone -
but on and on you tread though the path you walk alone -
no one else but you can hear the screams of agony -
no one sees the torture there throughout eternity -
i've not found a place of solitude to rest or think -
only quicksand clutches me and tries my mind to sink -
whatever you've been told rest assured it's all a lie -
they think they really know you but they never even try -
so take the initiative to heart and let it guide the score - for
innocence must always lose until they are no more.

I don't know where i've been or who i really am -
i feel the strings jerking my head down in the sand -
i never realized i don't know anything -
i will not be myself while they control my sins -
i cannot become what they really want of me -
i'm forever stuck in what they call heredity -
i'll never do my own work, always it's for them -
i'll merely move at each and every single whim -
i'll never know just what's it's really all about -
they'll never know me because they can't hear me shout -
they think they have but they haven't really seen -
i lie awake all night and escape them in my dreams.

unfortunately my mom didn't call before i jumped...oh well - just a
bruised tailbone...great poem

Enter in these gates, open up your mind -
pass thru the farthest door, see what you can find -
eternity is lost, eternity is found -
who really knows or cares? the world never was round -
twisted tunnels lead off to unknown lands so lost -
turn a corner here then there, what does this ride cost? -
i never know from where i come, who really does? -
still i travel on and on, speed gives me a buzz -
what if i must steal a time? what will they do then? -
they'll shove me down the deepest hole with other thinking men.

In the darkness of my mind's extent
My soul has found my heart's content
The deepness of my lover's kiss
Is the thrill that I most miss
The tenderness of her softest touch
causes my body to ache so much
Breaking of the hardest rule
I've built myself to keep me cool
To keep myself from feeling the pain
That strikes my soul like acid rain
Whenever falling as I am
Tears not spilling over the dam
But her explosive love tears down
All my barriers to the ground
Filling my soul up to the brim
Causing me to burst within

Save me from this mental crime
Hate rules my life sublime
I know not what you will find
Only memories that do blind
My soul to fate that I've sealed
Only wish to be repealed
Will you take the time for me?
Only darkness do I see
Waiting for your distant love
Coming from the skies above
Wishing you're here with me right now
Feelings seem to fail somehow
Come to me and throw the vine
Of ressurection for my line
I write this lyric for your heart
This anguish tears my soul apart
Cannot reach the edge of life
My only wish you end this strife
Boiling deep inside my head
Only stops if I am bled
Without your love I am to blame
Crazy views & sights that lame
My vision of you only rings pure
Only of you am I sure

Note: Don't get me wrong, I believe - somewhere way down in the dark
depths of my soul - that love does exist or can exist in whatever
manifestation we prefer it to; however, I'm just taking a short hiatus
myself from the present topic. By all means - love and be loved - life
is too short not to have something miraculous and sublime in it. Don't
read too much into this poem - it's just an expression of
imagination...hope you enjoyed.
