Feeling
An aching pain deep inside,
Stabs my guy till I cry.
An empty soul can see no road,
Only the darkness and the cold.
Lost in the world of today,
I see no light to even pray.
Twisted thoughts reap in my mind,
A murderous plot to end all time.
Anxious sweat salts up my wounds,
Ravenous anger quieten's contents little tune.
Gusty premonitions feed my aspire,
My answers lie between see through wire.
Two opal lakes glisten through my dark confide,
Opening my soul to feel warmth inside.
Let the light stay bright to hide the cold,
This divine feeling I will forever hold.

The Soul Taker
I am the soul taker,
Watch out for where I lie.
Alone I walk through the fields,
Picking as many apples as I desire.
When you see me be sure to hide,
For all it takes is a glimpse and your mine.
This electrical storm leaves no soul untouched,
It will bleed you dry and take your life.
The more I take the more complete I feel,
Grey skies are heading your way.
I dance around the fire of life,
My taste hungers the red laughter from deep inside.
You will never be safe as I live,
Each soul adds to my power.
Demons and priests live in my dreams,
Both smile and nod their heads.
"I am god, I am the devil".

Goodbye
Where has my passion gone to,
Today I woke up and found it was gone,
Where has my energy gone to,
My illusions of reality fades away into the darkness.
I don't even write anymore,
These words are just shadows of a broken mask,
My shallow words scatter out to sea,
I am disappearing into the background.
My art has died away with my heart,
Monotony cuts my face till I bleed,
Pleasure from pains evolves into emptiness,
Natural instinct has been diluted away.
The curtain of my life has become transparently useless,
The mirror shows it is time for winter spring cleaning,
I am only physically alive now,
This heart has no reason to beat anymore.
You are only as young as how many days you have left,
A poke to the body will break this hollow old egg,
The oxygen has ran out from inside,
The light has gone out, time is up.

Journeys End
Coldness emits from these troubled fingers,
shameful hands cut up my meat.
This bleak mind is salted with darkness,
the black spices up this tasteless stew.
Please let me fall into the light,
to warm this lost soul for the others sake.
Eating myself up till nothing is left,
the acid prepares me for my final favour.
Down the spiraling tunnel I tumble,
the walls absorb the little goodness they find.
What is left can help feed the world,
I hope this soil bears more fruit for the generations to come.

Destiny
Deafening beats calms bloods boil
In the taste of hasty flesh
A resurgence of the enemy bleeds again
Bringing life to the dead
Hiding the truth from within
These shaking hands can't hold it anymore
The tide is out and I sense the coming
A wall of pure glistening hatred runs at me from a distance
My eyes turn white and I open out my arms
So long I have waited
Blackness slashes away at the rumbling sky
Blue sparkling crystals shower from the heavens
Tears of past thoughts harpoon themselves into me
A quick brushoff as I look upward and shake my head from side to side
I tilt my head down for one final stare at my destiny
I lick my lips and my heart beats furiously
A huge creased smile covers my face
I ask "what took you so long?"
A faint sound of wailing increases rapidly
The wall in all its ravage beauty flashes an image
The faces of tortured souls stare at me smiling
I kiss the air and close my eyes.

Selfishness
This twisted narcotic abuser rants alone,
Blundering life's beauty away in a stupor,
Engaging himself in torment,
Desolating any previous incentive.
Uncontrollable cogitation breeds his ravage,
Emptied spirits frustrate his lagged mind,
Double bladed logic slits life's main vein,
Darkness emits by virtue of his obscure morals.
With no vision of the future ahead,
He falls down upon his lifeless knees,
Agony aches his pain soaked flesh,
Looking into past reflections he shakes his head.
Choosing to wait in the taste of his own misery,
A final request is dealt to the skies,
Begging for it all to end,
Begging to sleep forever.

Waiting
Held captive from within,
Never knowing where to begin,
I don't know anything anymore,
Feels like I've done this all before.
Where am I supposed to go now,
Would be so easy to say chow,
But there is something that needs to be done,
Before I can pack my bags and run.
Need to give it all I've got,
I know there's always a shot,
Even if I feel there's no hope,
I know that I will always be able cope.
Because there is something in my chest,
That will never let me rest,
Ever since the start,
It has always torn me apart.
But for the times it gives,
Are the times it really lives,
For that feeling I will stay,
If only it could always be that way.
Blinded from the top,
Never know when to stop,
Wish I could let it show me the way,
Guess I'll have to keep on waiting till another day.

Warmth
A glowing heart warms the darkest face
Breathing a smile into minds of the tired
Brightening up the eyes of the hurt
Blooming happiness upon a winters day
Opening up feelings caged from past tortures
Learning the greatest lessons that had been forgotten
An invisible luminous love shines brightly
Time is changing its tune upon me
The light of a smile is helping me feel the warmth I thought I had lost forever

Enchanting
Enchanting green beauty gently sways,
Sweeping away the dust,
Pupils scanning every texture,
Surrounded in hypnotising tranquility,
Beaming a smile of loving warmth,
Words anxiously waiting to speak,
Searching for someone to share life with,
Wishing to be there to open your eyes and spread your wings,
Reaping desolation from promised soil,
Killer eyes loaded to fire,
Wrathful silence pointing the barrel,
Wounded life falling as colour fades,
Depleted eyes gaining weight,
Hope starved heart aches in emptiness,
Entertainment worn into a task,
Blunt thoughts see nothing left to sharpen.

The Grey
Watch, watch the dark angels fly, see how they swarm upon their
victims like killer bees.
Like art I watch and learn as people become possessed with minds of the unholy.
I am not one with a group, I am the in-betweener who yields the power of both sides.
Watch, watch me fly up, down, round and round.
White wings sifting through to a grey mid, tainted with a dip of black at the ends.
Watch, watch and listen to the unforgettable words of history.
Learn yesterday to see what is best for tomorrow, you will know when the time is right.
Watch, watch the white doves fly straight into glass.
Cover your mouths and pray for hope or the white will throw you into
hell as a mere lesson to show you its power.
Watch, watch the grey with all your might.
This fuzz knows more than you expect.
If the light is too bright you are blinded, if there is no light your eyes are as good as shut.
