Moving on is hard,
When it seems there's nowhere to go,
Despair on the outside,
On the other war's fires glow,
No future awaits,
Death void, entropy and it's begun,
At the coming of the dawn,
Onwards towards the final setting sun,
Over a tableaux,
Of grim death, despair, decay,
Pills, booze and
Mindless occupation are all I have today,
We can’t move on,
When we're stuck in the past's morass,
Dead tradition,
Tarnished religion, dying law and this final lambast,
Against the tide,
Of rot, rust and orders coming end,
On what hope,
Can tomorrows fool depend?
When direction,
Comes from men who dine upon our rights,
When our idols,
Drink a chalice of blood in funereal lights,
Can you blame,
Those who see and rage against,
The dying of light,
And who refuse,
To walk into that dark night?
***************************************************
Consequence
With tears of pain,
I washed your face,
With cries of grief,
I prepared your shell,
With heavy heart,
I nailed your coffin,
With fists of rage,
I sent you to hell.
**********************************************
Miserable Rapture
Beyond the shadow,
Past the veil.
Deeper then the night sky,
Where the bright stars sail,
That’s where you'll find me,
Hiding my face,
That’s where you'll see me,
Dwelling in disgrace,
The darkness around me,
Makes my eyes blind,
Impenetrable midnight,
Is all I can find,
The minds-shades are gathering,
To take me away,
The question I ask is,
Can I face one more day?
************************************************
At Pains Dark Shore
Amidst the joyous gale,
I am the despairing eye,
On seas of mirth they sail,
I am left behind,
At pains dark shore they leave me,
Those I thought were friends,
They don’t see what I see,
For my pain never ends.
********************************************
No Means to an End
Perchance on a golden wind I ride,
To raise my spirit, kiss the skies,
And then on the sapphire seas I float,
Without e'er seeing ship or boat,
Then through the ancient earth I sink,
With aeons of time, alone, to think,
Then in the passionate fire burn,
But still for something higher yearn,
In the hight of the spirit I know no rest,
And still I wander at my hearts behest,
So I now find myself condemned,
To roam the heavens 'til I end.
*********************************************
Have You Ever?
Have you ever known,
A silence so thick you can touch it?
Have you ever known,
A pain so great you can taste it?
Have you ever been,
Alone in the midst of the crowd?
Have you ever been,
Drowning in your own tears?
Have you ever,
Tied the rope around your own neck?
Have you ever,
Held the knife to your wrists,
And known you were ready to cut?
*****************************************************
Realization (of self, too late)
You left me all alone,
To face a world devoid of life,
You made a part of me your own,
And then you plunged me into strife
You were the first to take,
A part of my soul into you,
Now I ne’er shall have,
Faith in what loves’ power can do
We who love not much but,
When we do with all ourselves,
Always face that danger great,
Risk all, loose all and face
Our whole world rendered grey.
