ETERNAL BLISS
He stared at her
As if she was a gift
One that he wanted
To slowly unwrap
Careful to embrace
And only have all
To himself— each
And everyday-
O, he smiled~
Thinking of how much
She truly was better
Than any gift in the world
Far greater than all the money,
Silver & gold across time/space
He moved in her direction
Leaned forward ready to hold
Her so tight, with the thought
Of how lucky he was to have met
Her in this lifetime and he made
A vow to find her in the next one.

Breakup
I asked if we could talk
So, we walked around your neighborhood
And saw men at work stripping a tree of its branches
we watched from the curb
It was perfectly healthy
Just growing in inconvinient directions
So they had to prune
I tell myself that's what I'm doing here
That it's needed or justified
Cutting us apart in our prime

Blood King (Sham)
In the streets
of dusky wind and cloudy sphere;
The silence prevails, the silence prevails.
Red red despair
bloody noon, bloody day
feet on the way and souls slayn’.
Scary scars, dreary dead
I crawl over my land
hurts more than a deep shallow sword,
Like a friend to a fiend.
A child to child
in the warming wombs cries underneath
Men to men, some young some worn
have lost their breath.
I held my tears
I let them go
I held them over
deep and more.
Bow down your crowns and pray
better we shelve,
Hunt us holy, sick and frail
Deaf is our cure, dear Dave dear Dave!
Red red despair
Bloody noon bloody day
Feet on the way and souls slayn.
Fragile lips, the eyes of pearls
A voice as clear the voice heard
Blood is hence mourn hails;
In the streets
of dusky wind and cloudy sphere,
The silence prevails, the silence prevails.
Lacking Guidance
I opened the door to find
The inside of my mind
My conscience appeared blind
Detaching from the bind
That creates every thought
Original... not bought
In anger I was caught
So with it I had fought
For every memory
That made me into me
For thoughts I’d never see
For unseen victory
I lost the fight that day
I couldn’t make her stay
There were no words to say
As my conscience slipped away
