Just a place for my stuff.......









Dance

Music in the hollow
music in the swell
dance a dance of timin
dance to wake the dead
swing me from the stars
swing me on the floor
tell me that you'll dance
tell me i dance well
i'll tell you it's my partner
i'll tell you you move well
sing a verse or two with me
sing a verse of love
watch me smile wide for you
watch me smile true
sit me in the corner
sit with me would you
enjoy the dance we had
enjoy and don't be sad
thank me for the time that was
thank me from your heart





A Story

wind moans soft in waiting
crowd restlessly anticipates
tread of boots from the hall
jingling keys awake
cold steel turns in the lock
the preacherman awaits
a few words to ease
one last walk i take
in the courtyard fate awaits
six steps to raise me high
no last words to say
darkness as the hood is placed
now only the noose remains
lever's pulled and night descends
creaking of the hangman's rope
gently as I sway





Dark



dark
is the path i walk
cold
is the air i breathe
sharp
are the words of hate
heavy
is the load i bear
shame
is the claok i wear
dark,cold,sharp heavy shame
darkens my every dream
freezes my every thought
sharpens my every need
weighs on my every deed
cruel
are the wounds that bleed
damning
the judgements of me
leaden
are the skies above
mocking
are the things I seek
laughter
is the thanks i recieve
cruel,damning,leaden mocking laughter
pain my only friend
punitive my reward
heavy my every thought
derision my applause
light
is the touch love
lost
is a soul alone
bitter
is the drink of life
sad
is a story told
dream
is a faded scene
light,lost,bitter sad dream
soft my lonely sighs
spent my energies
stinging my tears fall
sorrow my daily meal
a long dark lonely road is all that faces me







The Weaver



keen as a razor
it has run me through
'tween gaps in armor
to pierce my heart

wielded by one untrue
with skill of surgeon
and craftsmans eye
you wove the web of lies


with cold, dead smile
you twisted the blade
and danced the puppet
to the tune you played

with song then done
you cut the strings
and sighed, sated smile
for what you'd done

one more dead husk
in the web you wove
one more devoured soul
to sate your lust


and still, you spin
your web of lies
to decieve,to justify
to hide your sin


as fickle as fate
in an autumn wind
your story, your hunt
will they never end


spin as you will
and weave your webs
only to entrap yourself
in your gossamer thread







The Horseman's Wyrd



tearing at this heart o mine
claws of razored steel
bleeding out my lifes blood
upon a blackened field

laughter in the background as
poisoned clowns dance with glee
smiles revealing dripping fangs
as they rend what's left o me

scattered 'cross the killing field
starbright shreds of love
fading in the darkness as
the Horseman descends from above

wicked, gleaming scythe of lore
pierces my torn heart as
the Horseman speaks my wyrd
never with rended soul, love shalt thou seek







The Price



in the waking moment
as revelation hits
all your dreams and plans
are just a pile of sh*t

the failure of the conscious mind
to cope with everyday
drives away all sanity
and in the end you'll pay

you dreamt a dream of everything
that shattered just like glass
the tinkling of the falling scenes
sounds out "kiss my as*"

when everything you wanted
and thought you had at last
trickles through your fingers
the dreams fade so fast

as you plan your little plan
and dream your big dreams
remember all the roadwork Man
just isn't what it seems

the pain and sorrows linger
like a knife wound in your back
it's just the price we pay in life
to keep us in the black






Anew



And now the morn has come
All aglow for me and you
The birds awake in Sol's soft glow
The world is bright and new
Another dance to life's melody
Another chance to start again
In a new day's golden glow







The Willow Weeps



Oh how softly the willow weeps
When no longer can it's roots reach
The waters of love that run so deep

Oh how softly the wind doth sigh
As through withering leaves it blows
On limbs that no longer reach so high

Oh how the woodsmans axe doth sing
As the heart grows dry with passing time
Till all love is ash in the fires ring







The Field



In a field of brokens dreams
I wander lost inside of me
I see the faded memories
Their twisted visage mocking me

In a field of broken dreams
I wander lost inside of me
I spy a patch of unbroken green
It's lush life calling me

In a field of broken dreams
I wander lost in search of me
In the heart of growing green
There blooms a new dream for me

I particularly like Dark. It has a rhythm which matches its mood perfectly. This is absolutely great stuff.

I also favor especially: A Story, Weaver and Willow Weeps in this collection. But it's all good so thanks for sharing your work....

The Answer




can it be true
what has been said
of captured hearts
and drowning pools
and those who see
the trancing light
that guides them
on to you and joy
ever bringing smiles
and longings for
another dose of you
from what i have seen
i must say that
all is true
for i have looked
and cannot bring
my eyes to look away
