"Winter Day"

It's beautiful outside
the trees are barren
Striving despite the chill
to live

The newly golden grass
sparkling in its
glorious, frozen
existance.

The very air i breathe
Enters into my heart
Cools my veins
but warms my soul

My cool soul
warm from the frozen air
my body is freezing
but my soul lives on!

"LanaRhondo"

Shes back in my life, back in my mind
the pain of the week ending
stopped my mind's bendinghow she's so kind
why's love so blinde
she's so forgiving, shes back in my life.

Finally i had the time
My life is ascending
My fear retreating
This will forever be in my mind
She's back in my life

"Where did your smile go"

where did your smile go?
i would like to know
i want to see the sparkle
but will it ever show

perhaps when i destroyed you
as you have done to me
i stole the sparkle from you
that i shall never see

"Alone"

I have two choices
two ways to go
but which to take
i do not know

One way i've been
I ran away
I wish i could
Go back again

Out of pain out of mind
out of spirit out of time
My endless grief will never end
Unstopping pain that i can't mend

My other choice is almost me
She likes to flirt excessively
Im not quite sure of what she wants
She fills the hole inside of me

"Broken Record"

We all see our life before us
Knowing our time shall end
We must devote our endless hope
To god and friends we gain

We may repeat what we have done
but we must not stop trying
To change our body
To save our soul
To let our blessings overflow
We are not alone

"RedRiver"

My veins still pumping
Blood i see, all mine
Reddened river of life
Going the wrong way

The silence of my body
piercing my soul
Shattering all i have fought for
reminds me of what i've won
what i could've done

Merciful Savior
Take my dirty heart in
let me live on
let my river of blood
manifest into a sea of kindness
i am not done
i have not won
incomplete

"Shallow Poet"

I pull the strings Play my life
Take the chance Roll the dice
Try whatever comes my way
Live my life and live to play.

Freedom seems to have its friends
We must choose to break or bend
Let our song ring from our hearts
Let our minds be free to start.


"Choochoo"

I see the light of the world fading
dimming away from me
silent train in the night
going out of sight

it has the light upon its helm
to light the way that i may see
what way to go i do not know
my beaten path grows dim.


"Content"

My life complete,
It may end this moment
Though i shall be happpy
for no ills thrash my heart

Recurving Road,
This finite path
Yet seems to end,
Not 'till a quake breaks it.

Our bodies stop,
The blood and happiness;
Receeding from our heart,
The Love of our soul.

My mind dwells forever
Encased in thought of those
I have seen, have known, have felt
Have love for all i see


"Spider Blood on my Notebook"

Spider blood on my notebook
Endless screem from beyond
the other side of my mind
of my life of my page.

We may not live to see the day
our lives can end before
for as but pawns to a greater god
we are never free.


"Leap"

I jump into the flaming pit
no fear within my calice heart
i see not hear not fear not
nor make the slightest mark

trying to find another one
searching for life's repeat
what i met on that first day
that made me feel complete


"Keyless"

My Heart, Spine, Soul
Elsewhere, on their flight
Hell is their goal
I will never have them again.

My mind has been locked
within the cell of time
which none can escape
no matter how they try

I want my heart back
i want my mind free
i want a new soul
that's all i need


"Incapacitated"

A new rise
Incapacitates Me
Directing my movement
My mind
my heart
my soul
my body goes to another
greater evil
why?

"Why"

Beauty is more than what we see with our eyes
It's what is hidden inside
what in ourselves we do confide
Beauty is more than what we see with our eyes

Confidence is more than pride
looking yourself straight in the eye
Saying softly "i believe that my
confidence is more than pride"

Life is more than the number on the die
we aren't competing to lose or win
it's our choice when to begin
life is more than the number on the die.

Love is more than where our heart lies
life is more than the number on the die
confidence is more than pride.
God is the only one that can tell you why.

"Go to Hell World"

Go to Hell World
Make this day go too
The firey pit
Go to hell, hell
The place where the kind
People dwell
Kinder than those here
Kinder than those anwhere.
We are so close to hell now
I can feel the flames
The screams are getting louder now
We're sinking
We're drowning
Toward my heaven.

"I Don't Want It"

I don't want it
Take it away
Put it back where it was
Some other day

It's fun to have people
Say they love me
But all of it's lies
Sarcasm, you see?

So take me away
To a better place
Another safe
Another face
Free my mind
To a new land
Let my heart
Have no demand

The safest place
Where I wish I could be
Within someone else
Content, but not free
