Love's Death Sentence

Life, weeping willow
Over grown
Very tired
Every breath drawn
Solitude gone

Delivery from evil
Excruciating torment
Ascension into hell
Treachery revealed
Holocaust of soul

Seraphic judgement
Epithet of beautiful words
Nakedness exploited
Traduce a name
Execution of a heart
Necropolis opens its gate
Catacombs await
Evermore is the way of
LOVE'S DEATH SENTENCE

He Said She Said

He said, Lord send me a good woman, one who is kind
and sweet, pleasing to my eyes

She said, God give me a man who can stand
and hold his head high, with strength and character

He said, woman to man is a completeness a
compliment an extension of who he is

She said, man to woman can sometimes be a stumbling
block, lost in his identity self discovery walked away
taking with it believing in herself


He said, woman is  my love, my life, I'm her Prince
I'll slay all her dragons

She said, my castle has become my prison, man
has placed me in a dungeon, thrown away the key


He said, woman you are mine, my property
I bought and paid for you

She said, man has turned me into his slave
I didn't realize he was Satan in disguise


He said, woman wash my clothes, fix my meals
and pleasure me

She said, Lord why did you send this
man to me, what sin so great could I've
committed to be cast into this hell


He said, her beauty is no more,
her worth is no more, what good is she to me
maybe I should get another

She said, I loved you once but no more
because of that love I let you enslave me
my heart as much as you've enslaved my soul

He said, I'm your god, you obey me

She said, man you speak like a dribbling fool

He said, what! woman who do you think you're about
you ain't shit 'cause I made sure you're not

She said, man of my broken heart, this is good bye as she pulled
the trigger, stepped over his crumbled body and walked out
of her dungeon





















Safe

I felt a hand gently touch my heart
I smelled the familiar scent
A soft kiss placed on my forehead
A wisp of air brushed against my cheek
A memory of memories rushing back
I closed my eyes  holding on to
The moment I was in
Afraid if I opened them my dream would end
I heard a whisper faint as a humming birds wing whisking by
A thousands rays of light washed over my closed lids
The warmth of the rays left me wanting to feel more
Held spellbound in this euphoria I was in
Cocoon of protection
Lost forever in a comforting embrace
Arms I know I couldn't see, but feel
Resting  my head on a shoulder
Absorbing all my pain
Slowly slipping further into.......
Safe

Who is this I Speak Of

Who is this that I speak of
a lover
a friend
a stranger or the person with in
A glass of vintage champagne
ageless as the earth
strong as the universe is vast
wisdom personified
grace and beauty
your soul define
in your arms I am born
life you've given
sustain me
who is this I speak of
a lover
a friend
a stranger or the person with in
Mirror, mirror on the wall
will you reveal what's in my heart
No, for its my secret to keep
my revelation which you seek
is not for all
to the one that's special
to whom you call
in the middle of the night
to chase away your nightmares
this is who your secrets are for
who is the this I speak of
a lover
a friend
a stranger or the person with in



Music Soul

I use to hear you sing to me at night
chasing away the nightmares
Your lyrics reflected the struggle
in my mind
you sing as if you understood
my hidden fears
It told the story of a soul
that has no color
Repressed spirit that has lost its way
unrecognizable desires I don't know
exist
I cry out to you needing
to hear your song
Your music chased away
the bad dreams
that left my heart beating
to the rhythm of
my screams
I don't hear the music
anymore you no
longer sing to me
My nightmares return
I need your song
Sing to me again
Music Soul



Peace


I can't seem to find peace 
no matter where I turn
Its elusive, avoiding me
It runs and hides like the sun 
being chased by black clouds
Every time I get close enough to find it
It slips away so quietly
Leaving me searching for it
in the darkest corners of my mind
Peace, where are you, why won't you
hold me in your arms
sing to me in your sweet comforting voice
I need to feel you close to me
my sanity is slipping away ever so quickly
If you are out there, please let me know
Give my a reason not to slit my throat
The grave is calling me it says peace is here
I fear my peace may lie there

Touch the Sky
