Breath

When I say I love you,
I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
When I say I miss you,
I miss everything about you.
When I say I need you,
I need you to need me too.
When in say I want you,
It's with everything I have.

I can feel you murmur,

As I lean into your neck.

I can hear you breath,

As you wonder whats next.

Eternity

The area is dark, cannot see my own hands.
There is a smell of must and a cool breeze.
The ground is solid, sounds like rock when stomped.
There is an uneasiness rising, but it is quelled.

That sound. Sounds like glass on metal. Scraping.
Cold steel hit my face. What is it?
Reaching out, small cold steel. Round, yet oblong.
It's a link. A chain link. It seems to go up forever.

Slowly, reach out arms wide.
More chains, dangling. Still in the night.
Silence, the mouse is heard in the corner.
Sight is gone, but other senses heightened.

Chain after chain, the emptiness goes on.
No door, no window, no light. No sound.
It's not fear i'm feeling.
The hair on my arms and neck lay still.

Faint echo in the air, i smile.
Like a dream that never was.
Can't wake, maybe don't want to.
Following the path in the dark.

Walk Alone

When you walk alone,
Its like you've lost your soul.
There is no straight line,
You're  hope fades and goes.

You have to pay the devil his dues,
While you look into your eyes.
The pain comes from within,
Emotions flood you with cries.

You need to find what you're looking for,
Or you need to let it go.
'Cause once you crossed that line,
You'll never, never know.

The dead feeling that's inside,
Tighten's up the mask.
You reach out your hand,
But you loose the glimpsing grasp.


When you walk alone,
Its like you've lost your soul.
You shut everyone out,
You're  love fades and goes.

While you paid the devils dues,
There's only one life.
Go after what you want,
You're conviction is your knife.

When you walk alone. 

Death of a Scorpion

The ripples in the water grow,

like manipulated heart beats.

The healing glow of the sun,

not ready to admit defeat.

The life streams fluctuate, 

as the toxin takes hold.

The lights begin to fade,

amativeness has been weighed.

Simple amity became painful,

but adoration remained.

Yearning for unknown mysteries,

an internal struggle strained.

Now came a difference, 

bolder and vernal.

To grasp with unknown faculty,

to look for something tangibly?

Obscure melancholy trickles down,

helpless and subjective to forewarning.

The needle positioned and slipped,

euthanasia comes without squirming.

Visions of serenity and peace,

fade with calming ripples. 

Kindled anticipation begins,

to be in the eye of the virgin.

Reflections

Everyday my reflection looks back at me
As I peer into the eyes of the world
Something always seems to elude
How intuitive can things always be

As I look into the water
I see what's not there
A rippled illusion on things
Like a perceptive hearted forger

Starring into the night sky
Seeing the dead sea of faces
Voiceless screams of confusion
Waiting for the binds to untie

Everyday my reflection looks back at me
As I peer into my own eyes
Wanting to call out
Break out so I am free

Legacy

Like a puppeteer you pull the strings
To keep your marionettes dancing
With every word you speak
The outlying day looks bleak


Your own words begin to bite
Your dreams hold no truth
Venom courses through your veins
Lies have become your bane


Consumed by hate
You breed violence
Barbed wire twists your heart
Your created world falls apart


Your lies have pained
Your soul lies in the depths below
Innocence is suffocating
No escape hope is screaming


Ignorance is one dimensional 
Your death is eminent
The legacy left is nonexistent
Nothing more then feeling discontent


Your minds internal bleeding
Rotten to the core
Your immediate future uncertain
Looking for the rope to close the curtain

Love's Slave

The clouds are dull in the sky

The tears stain

The quiver in your lips

Your eyes go into an eclipse

The  windows are covered in rain

I can't see you

Your face is masked like a charade

Watching you walk away is like a masquerade

A hundred memories in my head

They kill the pain

Thoughts of loving you

Locked away now because their taboo

I'm lost in a nightmarish hell

Words are choking me

I may be lonely but not alone

My feelings are all overgrown

I told you I'd be there

I cried all night

Now I sit still on the floor

Watching as you close the door

The windows are clear

You look back

I see you cry but not wave

Love has made me its slave

Let Me In, Let Me Out

Cold steel bars the way
Shattered reflections on the floor
Shadows dance the halls
Through cracks of light in the doors

Climbing higher on natures toes
Curtailing sounds on the rise
Muddy pools give way to mice
Feelings defeated sundered by guise

The door lock can't be picked
Cries of pain distorted tears
Deluded webs of thought
Give to deep outward fears

Let me in let me out
Unyielding screams hanging
Clenching hope tight
Tender flesh is banging

Torrid grasps of life
Ardent calm before the storm
Silent distorted breach
Paramour rises in form

Let me in let me out

Unknown Love

Love knows no caution
It's just stage fright
Let me calm your fears
It's hope against the light

A word of caution
Does love scare you
How much longer are you
Living in fear of the unknown

These Words

There are words I cannot say,
Despite the feelings from the heart
Hiding behind masks of life,
There been deep feelings from the start

Your intellectual spirit has its ways to work,
Along side your physical appeal
When the darkness falls,
I wish to hear the words you speak

I like you being different,
From the little to the big
I read your soul in your eyes
See the light as it shines in the skies

How will it work no one knows,
Running scared is the first sign
But I long to hold you, kiss you
But it will take us both time

Don't turn away from me yet,
I'm not ready to let you go
A slow hand is what it will take,
These are words I just need you to know.

Forever More

Anger seething, growing
Appetite for destruction
See your hope receding
Mind of fear, your souls abduction

Dawn breaks, broken glass
Your useless ploys
Poisoned mind corruption
Soul's dark full of noise

Your time is coming
It's all breaking down
Revelations of truth
What's done is done

You can't break me
Look into my eyes
Your hatred swallows you
Like needles of lies

Forever more, deception

Bottled rage, consumed in anger
My mind explodes
Irritated, full of madness
You're following hell's road

No more, not tonight
An aversion to sanity
Your venomous control
Your backwards life's profanity

Your time is coming
It's all breaking down
Revelations of truth
What's done is done

You can't break me
Look into my eyes
Your hatred swallows you
Like needles of lies

Forever more, deception

You can't break me
Look into my eyes
Your hatred swallows you
Like needles of lies

Forever more, deception

Ever Lasting

I can't explain how it goes
I told you so many times
But it feels like the doors been closed
Almost like committed crimes

Like the wolf at the moon
My heart screams
The tears fell and the mask broke
I'm living in dreams

Indecision's have been made
Spoken in silence
Time is slowing
The light is frayed

Time (is ever lasting)
I'm standing in the dark
Time (is ever lasting)
Hope is fading
Lost its spark

Why do you feel far away
The pieces are in place
Calling your name
Your running a race

Standing in the shadows
Looking for the flame
The tears inside
Who's to blame

Indecision's have been made
Spoken in silence
Time is slowing
The light is frayed

Time (is ever lasting)
I'm standing in the dark
Time (is ever lasting)
Hope is fading
Lost its spark

Time (is ever lasting)
I'm standing in the dark
Time (is ever lasting)
Hope is fading
Lost its spark

War

Pulled this out of the archives. Was actually a song I wrote back in high school for the metal band I was in.

To me war is like going blind,
when the people have died
and the guns have all chimed,
the heads will all mourn.
Just like chess it's a strategy,
you try your moves to conquer thee.
Loosing your blood in a very cruel way,
but as most people create,
 that's okay.
Wars a game to you,
something you choose not to loose.
But when it's time to go,
it's just one big tv show.
When people get wounded and maimed,
and feel the destructive pains
why don't you stop,
and walk in their shoes for awhile.
With the pain and agony that they reveil,
what's wrong with you,
can't you feel?
I agree no one's the same,
but who is to blame for the destruction
of your own blood?
To me, war is like going blind.

Pieces

She's sitting at the window,

Starring into the world.

Wondering where the love went,

Not knowing what went wrong.

Out on the streets her mind wanders,

Now she feels free.

She fell out of desire,

Stringing her heart along.

She put up a wall that came crashing down.

Pieces everywhere.

She put up a wall that came crashing down,

Pieces everywhere.

Is there anybody listening,

To the sounds of her heart?

Feel her breathe,

Someone to break her mask.

She can hear the whispers from the dark,

Like she's living a dream.

Hoping one day to get it all back,

That it's not all lost forever.

She put up a wall that came crashing down.

Pieces everywhere.

She put up a wall that came crashing down,

Pieces everywhere.

Turning The Page

You and I,

Standing high above the sea side.

You were here when I came,

When I leave you'll be the same

Time and shadows,

Keep you low but hold your head high.

Living lies I know are wrong,

Inside I'm trying to be strong.

In just one night of passion

She can't control her desire's

She hungers for embrace

Paralyzed by her fears pyre

She's waiting to turn the page.
