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.
