Flame
I am a flame
Burning, consuming, growing
Nothing in my path can stop me.
Except the water
The cool, liquefying object of life.
But I am Fire
Hot, dancing, never the same.
Piercing the hearts of millions.
Four filling the minds of arson.
The sound of the sirens, & The terrified screams of fear,
Send my soul a music of horror.
I slowly die, my ambers cooling
Down like autumn.
The danger has diminished.
My life, my soul, has been taken away.
I, the Flame, will be no more.
But I will strike again,
So never turn your back on me,
The burning Flame.
Heartbreak
My heart is whole,
That was my first goal.
My heart breaks in two,
I'm getting the blues.
My heart breaks in three,
I'm begging for plea.
My heart breaks in four,
I'm saying, "No more."
My heart breaks in five,
I'm no longer alive.
My heart breaks in six,
Oh what's the point anymore?
Snow
Snow is the white death.
The crystal beauty deceives you,
And the gentle flurries comfort you.
And then the crystals become jagged ice,
The flurries blow harder and faster,
A blizzard is formed.
More and more snow layers upon each other.
The crushing force becomes unbearable.
Avalanches storm through the whistling peaks of the mountains.
The snow destroys everything in its path.
It blankets the cabins,
The families within loose their hope,
And their lives.
It knocks down the evergreens and the pines.
Nothing is safe.
The white death has struck again.
Love
Love is cruel, love is blind
I can't seek, I can't find
Cupid's arrow will never hit,
I'm not the one with the wit.
Give me pity,
Give me praise,
My lover's dick will never get raised.
That was sick,
I know it's true,
So I'll end this poem by saying, "Moo."
Death
Death,
Looming, prevailing, haunting
Creeping up on you wherever you are.
Lurking in the darkness,
Waiting to pounce on your soul.
Sniffing the essence of fear,
Of hatred,
Of sadness.
Seeing where it can strike you,
Where it could take you,
Where it could kill you.
Finding what will make you vulnerable
Your weaknesses,
Your deep, dark secrets,
And your worst unmentionable fears.
You must watch your back,
Because death can haunt you when you are awake,
And when you are asleep;
It will make you wake up with the cold sweat,
From the gory nightmare the evening before.
It's cold, bony fingers resting on your shoulder,
And it's lifeless breath whisking through your hair.
Red eyes glowing with black flames, & The voice of a wandering soul.
So remember about death,
Because it will creep up with you when you least expect it.
Leave me be
Leave me be,
Alone to die,
Nobody listens to my begs and cries.
I sit alone,
Cold and weeping,
Within the caverns of Hell.
My heartbeat and breath,
Are the only sounds I hear,
Within this eternity.
I am summoned to stay,
By the evil around me,
Nobody here around to comfort me.
My shaking body,
Rocking back and fourth,
My rambling chant keeps me sane.
Wondering how and why I am here,
In the dim light of the cavern.
Listening, seeing if there is other life
I hear a blood curdling in the distance,
Thought of another one like me.
Alone, alone in this place.
The soul in the distance,
Must be terrified, petrified, dead.
I listen again,
Silent again in this place.
Still rocking back and fourth.
No hope, no life, no love,
I will stay,
Because I have nowhere to go.
Leave me be,
Alone to die,
Nobody listens to my begs and cries.
At the end of my rope
At the end of my rope
All is chaos
All is turned
Everyone is evil
What have I learned
At the end of my rope
What can I do
What can I say
All is at each others throats
It's close to dooms day
At the end of my rope
Violence to see
As far as the sky
As deep as the sea
At the end of my rope
What's going on
Nobody peaceful
Everyone gone
At the end of my rope
Nobody is left
Left like me
Always staying
Always waiting
What is happening
What is going
What is flowing
Can't go on
Won't go on
At the end of my rope
Thank You
As I look into your deep dark eyes
I can see the love that does surprise
I see the admiration that does behold
The sweet things you say that you have told
The love you have showed me warms my heart
It reminds me of a work of art
Beauty and calmness that surrounds my soul
Filling the endless, bottomless hole
Thank you for everything sweet and kind,
For you will always be on my mind
So ends the tale of the love from you
People like you are too kind and too few
This is why I’ll always love you
Thank you, Jon
Rambling thoughts
Moon is shining
All the whining
Wolves are howling
Witches scowling
Love is tender
I surrender
To my love
Light as dove
Dawn approaching
Crows a boasting
Flying free
In ecstasy
Take me higher
Make me stronger
Keep the weakness
Such a bleakness
Such a journey
God can help me
Leave me higher
I'm the crier
Keep me safe
In your tenderness
Keep me higher
I'm the flyer
Rambling co bumbled
All co bumbled
Such suspense
In this tenderness
Flying higher
I admire
The raven’s flight
In this light
Dawn approaching
Never slowing
Keep me higher
Never lower
Going slower
How to cower
Fright is mine
In the great divine
Keep me higher
To my desire
Guilt burns from inside
Guilt burns from inside
Firing, sparking
Showing its presence
Making itself known
Guilt burns from inside
Always fueling a crying pain
Pain from within
Never ending never diminishing
Guilt burns from inside
Not wanting to go away
Wanting to float with these words I speak
These words that won’t go
Guilt burns from inside
Wanting to release
Release in the wind of the face for which it hits
Showing the truth and the pain
Guilt burns from inside
Keeping me locked in
Wanting to scream
Wanting to gasp for air
Guilt burns from inside
Leave me be to my thoughts
I’ll get back to you when they are through
I’ll get back when I can find myself
Crystalline Ice
The cold ice seeps through my heart and soul
Freezing through the bottom of my heart
Soon I will be numb
No more pain will come
The jagged crystals tear my flesh
Shredding away the pain
Let the frost grow through me
Reach to each fingertip and toe
Keep me still
Let me never awaken
Let the pain dull away
Freeze through me
Let me know no warmth
Show me only harshness
Let the heat escape me
Keep me away
This is the only fate I deserve
Show me no mercy
Crystallize the pain
Let the ice take it away
Only my tears can melt this tundra
Wash these troubles away
Let them grow cold
Freeze and silence this tenderness
The elders
People get so angry
When they find
We have a voice
They can’t handle
Hearing the truth
Out of the mouths of babes
No empathy can be seen
In the eyes of our elders
They can’t seem to understand
They can’t find themselves
Only the lies within
Nobody listens
Our pleas of truth and hope
Are never heard
Only blurred by apparent order
Our elders can’t listen
To our younger generation
They see only chaos and destruction
When in all reality
The youth speak no lies
We speak the truth with no fear
And yet nobody will listen...
Old Man
See the old man
Wise in his years
His eyes scorned with the years that have passed
See the wisdom that fills his soul
Watch the old man
As he traces his life
Walking through the steps since his youth
Re-telling stories of past lore
Hear the old man
Rambling in his world
Chanting his words
Re-counting the times that have past him
Look at the old man
His worn face
The grey hairs that succumb his face
The age that has crept up on his body
Observe the years that have filled him
Take note of how he lives now
Living on the streets
Talking to passers by
Trying to share his life with others
Lost in his own world
His own words
His own life
Respect this old man
He has seen things beyond your understanding
He wants to teach the next generation
But this generation no longer wants to listen.
Pain
The voices are getting fainter
I want to hide away the pain
To be shown of no mercy
I have nothing left to gain
My strength is getting weaker
I'm desolate and slain
Weeping in a corner
Crying in disdain
Help me gain further
Keep me going on
Let me reach higher
To the furthest dawn
I want to weep this away
Let the tears run down my face
Cradled in a corner
Trying to find a place
All I've known is the outcast
All I've known is scorn
Keep me without friendship
It's the happiness I adorn
Pain is strong in this world I know
It runs rampant through my flesh and bones
I know no end to this cycle
There is no stop to what I condone
My Wrath
feel the blood surging through your veins
the pulse going through your mind
can you feel it?
feel the guilt welling up inside
the jealousy and fear
can you sense it?
scream the scream of a thousand banshees
let the cries tear down your ears
does it hurt yet?
feel the nails ripping through your flesh
the razors and knives
is the fear coming for you?
lose all hope in yourself
go die alone
don't bear the pain
give up, don't get help
they won't be there for you
they'll just leave
can't you understand?
nobody will help you
nobody can save you
be alone
it's all you deserve
you have no fate, no destiny
who else will believe you but me?
can't you hear me?
I am the only truth you'll ever know
nobody can believe you
you are not what you will always hope to be
Curtains
Standing in this dark room
Facing that open window
The dark curtains wavering
That small light peering through that window
It's beckoning me
I know that light well
And it's calling
The curtains block my view
Dark and ghastly, still wavering
Wondering if I should open them
Wondering if I should keep them closed
But the light, that familiar light
That light I have seen pass by before
And then grow so dim
Till it became the fragments of a shadow
That light gave me hope once
It would make me laugh and smile
That light gave me something
And then it grew dim
And it was never the same
But that hope still remains in me
Hope to see that light again
Hope for the will to open those curtains
And wondering what's there if I do...
Decision
Until last night I saw no signs
Now today I seek and try to find
Trying to find the truth within,
finding out where to begin
Two scales ruled by two high stakes
I don't know just how many mistakes
One more pro
One more con
Want to see just what's beyond
Confusion welling up inside
Just wanting to run and hide
Get me away from this mess
But running away is not what I confess
The path that's less travelled should be the way
It's gunna be hard and there's a big price to pay
Decisions based on truth and wisdom
One step closer to that faithful kingdom
I know what path to take
I know it's not for my sake
It's gunna be hard
And it's gunna be tough
But the wisest decision is what's enough
If I am the you, and you are the me, then we are the together and infinite loopholes consort to each and it's own.
Now, is this a paradox, are all dogs equal or liars?
Is apple a good word to use in all instances?
Or should it be the infinite number 3.14, or to rather go up a level, and just write 4.
As to four is the meaning of life, and if life has no meaning, is four irreverent?
Tell me this, and with that I will give you the great secrets of the universe. Is there an outer-verse in this complication?
So many questions that yearn to be answered, and yet in the end, there are no answers.
Only more questions.
Savory Island
The warm ocean breeze whisking through my hair on that bluff
That beautiful bluff
Alone on that island
I see something in the distance
I see whales
Whales breaching in the new sun
Welcoming the new day
I hear a fish eagle calling to it's young
I look over to the land
It dives off of its high perch in the clouds
Soaring over the vast ocean
Flying effortlessly over the tides
Then it comes over to the tall bluff
Where I lay under the sun
It goes by, like a genie floating on a cloud
And returns to it's beckoning young
I still watch
Then listen
There is a rustling in the bushes behind where I lay
To my surprise, a deer is grazing through the camp
I look over to her
She too is part of this land
I bow my head in honor for these beasts of the wild
For I am only human
And I will never know the great knowledge of nature
I can only observe.
I am TALON, guardian of the mythical beasts of the past. My great friends called Unicorn, Mermaid, and Chimera are my family in the circle of friendship. Sadly, my spirit of love and peace is being slowly overcome with the dark powers of Evil. And yet I do not know of which path to choose. On the soil bearing lands called "Earth", I can sustain my peaceful nature.
But in the dark blue liquid called "Sea", I will launch at you at a single harsh word sent towards my presence. My beast-like roar will send shivers down your fragile spine. The fiery breath that emits from my nostrils would melt the skin off your bones in a single breath.
My gold plated chest withdraws any attacks no matter how brutal in force. Arising from my sturdy back is a pair of long, agile wings. I glide to the moon and return with glimmering treasures in my leather sewn bag. I share my secrets with my best of friends.
Porclean Doll
I've got something special
Right there infront of me
Sitting in the sunlight
Happy as can be
Anger can't last long
With his presence around
His antics and ploys
Who's plot can never be found
His smile can warm your heart
He is precious and dear to me
Like a pocrelean doll
He's strong in so many ways
But deep within he's as delicate as silk
Words can be knives to him
And they can also be the bandages
Something so precious cannot be lost
Something so wonderful shouldn't be taken granted
Pondering here and now
Waiting for what the future burings
With the porclean doll in my arms
Pain 2
Living like a prisioner
Crying from the pain
Nobody listens
I beg for mercy
Nobody listens
The only faults seen are mine
The evil is masked and cloaked
There is no refuge from the pain
I seek for help to be turned down
I'm screaming in a pillow now
This way it makes sense not to be heard
NObody wants to hear my cries
No one wants to pity me
The pain burns deep inside
I just want to cry this anguish out
Let my tears flow
Melt away all of the grief
There is no resolution
Only a revolution
A circle of onslaught
Turning and striking
Coiled in my sorrow...
Runaway
The voices keep telling me that,
"Fear is only a state of mind."
Maybe I want to stay here
Maybe I just want to go
They say they'll stay to help
That there is hope, and love, and joy
But I can't see it
I can only see forced smiles
Only masks and shadows of a former self
They only notice when it's too late
Too late to come and help
I could be dead 20 times over before they notice
By then it's too late
No bandages can help then
The wallsa re growing too high
Doesn't matter anyways
They arn't even willing to step let alone climb
So I'll just dissapear
Drop off the face of the earth
And while I sit here alone
I'll think and ponder,
"Did anyone notice that I've gone?"
Looks like we're back to square one
Look at us now
All grown up
Faces and minds changed
Some still blind
Some set free
Look at how we've grown
together and apart
So much has changed
But if you open your eyes,
Alot has stayed the same
For those who haven't been elightened
They still think things are fancy-free
In all reality, it's just masked corruption
I can see all of the pain and suffering
It seeks those around me
Dragging them down
Torn and blind
Unable to break free and see again
Life's lessons have been trying to teach them
But they just remain blind
In a vicious cycle
Caught in life's back hand
I've seen this all happen before
This isn't the first time
My eyes have been opened
But for everyone else,
It looks like we're back to square one
Sick Pleasure
You suffocate me with all your lies
Cholking away my last dying breath
Crushing me from within
your sick pleasure is to see me die in dolor
So bring it on
Let me suffer till there's no more
Take away every ounce of who I am
Leave me empty
A shallow shell of who I once was
Only one thing is left
And that's not even me
I know you can see it
I can no longer look at myself because of it
That deep ember
That fire in my eyes
It burns inside me
Flames of rage and lust
You wanted this
To see me suffer
To see my once free spirit
Turn into a lifeless corpse
Torn and wounded
Shot down and slain
I hope you'll never forget that gaze of inferno
I hope you never forget what you did to me
What is friendship?
Friends are there
To reach for your hand
But touch your heart instead
They brighten up your life
Make you smile within
Make everything seem real
Something happened along the way
I'm not quite sure what
The fighting
The secrets and fear
Harsh words behind turned backs
I no longer want to be part of it
Friendship is worth so much
It's treasure is golden
But if I find myself wanting to alone
Only a few have reached to me
Not enough to make everything real
I live a life of lies
And it's not worth living
If this is the real definition of "friendship"
It's too fake for me
It's not worth the pain
Stupid Lemmings
Sitting here in this slum
Alone in the crowd
The voices deafening
It hurts to listen
Fake people leading fake lives
Worrying about how their next
Paycheck
Friendship
Relationship
Will be wasted
Too much bullshit for me to handle
These people don't know what true happiness is
Only the simple guilty treasures
How close the next mirror is
How popular the next fashion is
Who's said what
He says he says
Does it all really matter?
These lemmings need to follow a new crowd
Or maybe start a crowd of their own
Just as long as they wake up
Some day soon
And realize
Life shouldn't be wasted this way
It should be lived
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
For all you’ve done
Making me realize
That there was no fun
How can you help me
With this fake forced smile
Using your logic
Sickening like bile
Just leave me alone
This “help” won’t do
You make matters worse
So much for your damned truth
I secretly love you
I secretly hate
I can’t live without you
This just can’t be fate
This downward spiral
I hate all these lies
So much hiding
I’ve just learned to despise
Tale of two loves
So many memories
Coming back now
I don't know why they exist
Why they come back to make me remember
So many flashbacks
Times past and present
Things have changed now
Things I have always dreaded
Some I don't know
Some I wish I never did
To you both
I hold dear
One I love
One I fear
One who hates
One who cares
I don't know who you are anymore
You've shown me many faces
Masks and illusions
Brought upon by the lies and secrets
The fear has come to you
And it has spread on to me
I hate this
And I've grown to hate you
Or rather, what you've become
Who you are under all these masks.
