Hallow's End

Here comes Halloween

Monsters scream

Demon's dream

Here comes the night that never ends.

Enter Halloween

Blood dripping

Candles flickering

Don't dare turn for fear of fright

In creeps Halloween

Stalking slowly

Hunting hungrily

Reaching into your quiet bed.

Do not run

You cannot hide

Face your fear

or die of fright

No more day

You're doomed tonight

Halting steps

No one behind

Up the stairs

All alone

Lock your door

It will not help

Restless sleep

Maybe its a dream

Gentle knife

Upon your throat

Wake up shocked

and see your end

Start to scream

But cannot breath

Knife buried deep

Happy Halloween

Here comes Halloween

Merry fun and games

Kids come out to play

Just remember this...

Don't stay out too late

A Waltzing Dream.

Shall we waltz?

One, Two, Three

You and Me

Just waltzing free

A simple step

Left and Right

Hold me tight

Dancing Tonight

Side by side.

Till the dawn

We are drawn

The world is gone

Your eyes gleam

In them I

See no lie

only why.

When I stop

You look shocked

You act locked

Confidence knocked

I walk out

My spirit lost

My hope tossed

Fingers crossed

Then you come

From the hall

Stop my fall

Heart and all

Shall we waltz?

One, Two, Three

Can you see

fear in me?

But waltzing takes

My nervous feet

My frantic beat

My sad defeat

And causes them to great

The lovely shimmering street.

You'll never need to Change

Like the evergreen

Like the endless tide

Like the timeless snow

You never need to change

Mountains fall

Mountains grow

So the years

Will always flow

But you never need to change

Not when your heart is fit to burst

Not when the night leaves you yearning

Not when confusion rages all around

The grass will always grow

The sun will always set

Seasons change from life to death

And then change back again.

Everything you ever need

Is waiting in that hopeful soul

Ever decision ever made

Came from you and only you

The light will always shine

Until the darkness puts it out

Then shadows reign unchallenged

Until the light is sparked

You never need to change

To become something else

To be larger then life

Is another way of hiding from it.

Be yourself

and hold it close

There are a thousand nameless faces

There are a thousand nameless people

My Heart's Resting Place.

Can you learn to lay beside me?

Can I teach you how it feels

To be more then just a lover

To be less then just a soulmate

Your body is sublime

Your mind just as fascinating

But I don't need your everything

I don't even need your smile

Just the words, "I will"

To leave those cracked lips

And make me realize that in this world

Another person exists.

Just a moment

Just a night

That we can be together

Just for my life

I've never burned a bridge

I haven't wanted to rebuild

I've never felt so alone

I haven't the slightest clue

So please just give me this token

Just give me this gift

A night in the company of another

Would be a night I'd always remember

But amid my lovestruck longing

And my desperate heart's lies

I already know the answer

To this self-defeating wish

I could never lay with someone

Who isn't my beloved

Who I don't want with all my heart

Who I would never care for

So exiled by nature

instead of cruel fate

My heart will wait into the night

For the one I wish to rest against.

How Destiny is Shaped

Are you afraid

Of death

Of life

Of the end of time

Of timelessness

Are you aware

Of meek choices

Of single paths

Of bloodless contentment

Of longing undesirable

Are you willing

To fight and kill

To conquer and claim

To run forever

To die unhappy

I have made my choice and said my prayers

I have sealed my fate

A hopeless odyssey was started in ignorance

Upon the sea, I must now sail into Hades

Listen and beware, oh hopeless sailors

Oh those of wonderment who dwell upon land

Seek not the sea and merry tales of adventure

If you are meant to live inside the belly of this monster

It has already devoured you whole.

Ariel's Antonym

The hunter will always be hunted

Dark forces lurk in us all

Undeniable and Unconquerable

Hidden just out of sight

Hidden just behind your shadow

With the darkest secret that can be known

The one that keeps your heart whole

The angel will always burn

The poor selfless martyr

Tied to the stake

Left on the pyre

For no just cause

They burn willingly for others sins

Forever burned into history as damned

The past may be set in stone

Locked in pastoral scenes

Not seen in glorious illumination

But shadows of the past

Shadows of the heart

The ghost of pure intention

A ghost that will never be again.

But history will always repeat itself

A broken record that heralds doom

A cyclical sickle of mankind's folly

The joke without the laughter

The future that's already the past

Together with our misery and our innocence

We march into the reinvented once upon a time.

The hunter will always be hunted

The angel will always burn

The past may be set in stone

But history will always repeat itself

as we wait

As we wait for the commercial to end

As we wait for the conversation to change

As we wait for the night to be over

As we wait for the next morning

As we wait for the better week

As we wait for the another month

As we wait for the snow to melt

As we wait for the years to pass

As we wait for the world to change

We must always remember

The world doesn't turn on a dime

The years are not a chain, but a blessing

The snow is beautiful as it is

The months are basically the same

The weeks don't change who you are

The morning will find you the same

The night is in your hands

The conversation is in your hands

The commercial will soon end

What will you do about it?

Turn and Say Hello

Turn to me and say hello

I promise I'll reply

I just want a couple words

and nothing I'll deny

Give me the time of day

or turn to ask me why

Any minor chitchat will do

That would make me high

I just need a little word

to end this constant sigh

Where We Wander To.

Moments and colors

Sensations of truth

After all

Truth is in the eye

Truth is in the fingers

Truth is in the ear

While lies exist with nothing

A trick of imagination

Creation with no foundation

A flora that grows off emptiness

No conception that can be clung to

Leaves us to create in the unknown

But confidence supreme

exists within awareness of everything

or unheeded ignorance of fear

So to blossom into ourselves

We must learn from our very air

From the soil under our feet

From the words from our own mouths

We must forget what cannot be found

What lies beyond all senses

What causes us to run from the dark

What beckons us to the cliffs edge

Forget the words unspoken

Listen to the call of the Bold

Courage is the path

We are the Journey

The Opulent Opus

Such a superbe collection of symbols

Could not be located by the finest orienteer

More valuable then twenty years of orthodontics

This work could oxygenate a foreign planet.

The marvellous effects of this would not be incongruous

With the acts of some multi-limbed alien god, irreproachable

The mere mention of the title is an invocation

of iridescent images beyond all imaginings.

But think of this not as a picaresque

or an act as tragic as pneumonia

Though this stanza may sound pompous

It will heal all wounds through pontification.

My aim is as humble as a costermonger

and in the hours, crepuscular

You will wrap these words around you like a cummerbund

and feel as if you have been filled with chipolata.

While this poem may have left you nonagenarian

Remember it as a nasturtium

And dedicate all future nomenclature

To our beloved member of the nouveau riche

First Light Declaration

Deliver me to the Dawn

Let the rays be caught within me

Through this daily miracle

I can be a work of art.

What is human flesh

A crude and empty vessel

But the capacity for brilliance

is waiting to be filled.

Deliver me to the Dawn

Let a sight too perfect to be seen

Be found within me

and be reflected upon others.

What is perfection

A warm and well-trod road

that cannot be walked to the end

But can be journeyed upon

Deliver me to the Dawn

Let me be more like sold gold

Fortify my soul

So I am less like frozen glass

What is brittle

can become strong

and what is transparent

can become alive.

Deliver me to the Dawn

Let my sparkling glass body

Be filled with morning light

and let me shine throughout the day.

Till the End of your Days.

Let me take your frozen heart

and thaw it just a bit.

Let me take that endless scape

and give it shape.

Let me glance in your direction

and make you jump.

Let me speak to your soul

and bless you with wings

Let me lie beside you

and make you blissful

Let me take you away

and show you my perfect world

And because you let me

I will abandon you in the night

and show you my own hell

I will steal the sleep you wish for

and make you restless

I will silence you forever

and curse you without words

I will never look at you again

and make your soul dull

I will turn that landscape back to grey

and take away the world I made.

I will freeze your melted heart

and you will want to live in that tundra.

Till the end of your days.

Your Odds of Survival.

Today is here

Tomorrow is gone

Nothing is for certain

Nothing will go on

Fractures of the earth

Sparks from the sky

At any moment

Things can turn to do or die

Security, an illusion

A trick to calm the people

From the horrible truth

that life can go from daisies to steeple.

Persistance means nothing

To the almighty Actuary

Compiling the odds and chances

of your trip to the obituary.

Apocalyptical situations

A common place occurrence

No matter how very remote

will never be a deterrence.

No portrait too bleak

No ending too tragic

The almighty Actuary

Will make it happen, like magic.

Certainty's Journey.

A dream is but a dream

What you wish for

But wishing for a fire

or love or wealth

Means little unless

You have the keys to the kingdom

Or the willingness

To visit the local locksmith

Now together let us march unto the shores

Of unknown countries and self-discoveries

Bound in the chains of our own creations

We will tame these new worlds

Through determination of spirit

While others never take the journey

Never swim for the distant lands

They wonder why and leave it there

To float upon the ocean evermore

Though our questions lead to answers

that we curse for ever hearing

Our spirit becomes composed of such things

that certainty is made of.

On the Bus.

Sister Sister

Sister nun, take me please

Take me far away

I've lost the one

Oh sister nun

That makes me want to say

Sister Sister, can you hear

Can you hear the tolling bells?

The church is ringing

for you and me

But you are bound to leave

Sister Sister, walk the path

Walk the path of ashen trees

Never shall they live again

Their time has past

And so has ours concluded

Sister Sister, why the cliff

Why the cliffs foreboding?

I wish to follow you

My sister dear

But off the edge I cannot go.

Sister Sister, where are those

Where are those angel wings?

Once I saw those

wings of white

But now they're only brown.

Sister Sister, say goodbye

Say goodbye to me

Before you take

The longest trip

Just say farewell to me

Oh sister nun, take me please

Please take me far away

I've lost my sister

gone today

Please help her find her way.

It Make Sense.

Revelation of Skeletonization

Trees losing their Leaves

The Finest of Lines

Between a Crusader and a Conquerer

God exists in music

Unproven in its Affirmation.

The Logic can only be found

In a Declarative World.

All this Capitalization

Is part of my Station

Everything I ever Hear

Exist with my Inner Ear.

I can Pretend all I want

And I don't think I'll ever stop

Because it is better not to be

Because to be is another story.

Declaration of Rejuvenation

Revelation of being Alone

Affirmation of Logical World

It all ties Together.

Follow the Path that isn't there.

For a moment, an oasis formed above my head.

Composed of four lines of radiant light

And gentle hexagons that faded in and out of mystery

The color was turquoise to emerald to snow

Shifting without knowledge of their passing

For a moment, I had seen what hadn't been.

But my battered body screamed

And snapped me back into my head

The only thing that remained above

Was four off grey lines of light

The hexagons remained and though beautiful

They were no longer agents of mythology.

I will not see those lights again

Though I'll break myself again

Where my future is found cannot be known

But beauty will always be my guide

So purpose needs no more meaning then that

I'll follow my imagined art.

Breathe

In times of trouble

when all is lost

and your time is up

the only thing you can do

is Breathe

Pain will come

Joy will go

Stories end

Chapters are written

Life is endured

Breath is what send us forth

is what holds us up

What chains us down

Our biggest weakness

and best quality

Panic and Fear

is drowning on land

No breath to bring you

above the waves

inside your head.

Laughter and Tears

are just the opposite

Releasing ourselves

letting ourselves feel

those precious emotions

Come loss and abandonment

Come triumph and ecstasy

Our only salvation

Our true obliteration

Comes from Breath.

Moralities Ambiguity

We are all composed

Of equal parts

Good and evil

Live in harmony

Somehow we harm

When out intentions are good

Sometimes our sins

shatters another's chains.

How can we live

comprised of parts

both equal and opposite

both fighting against one another.

We give ourselves standards

A lie we call morals

We state what we feel is right

and condem everything other

But light shines through

Every action we do

Terrible mistakes

simply sign posts

Even our golden moments

Immortalized lovingly

What are they

but reminders for the future

The nature of action

Is the nature of time

Every second is only a second

Every action is just an action

No one deed is more important

Then the next movement you commit

No action is righteous or villainous

Anything can be whatever you make of it.
