Don't wander off too far
Where hungry eyes are creeping
Don't lose yourself in venture
Where famished beasts are sleeping
They'll devour your flesh and suck your mind in-
At the precipice of Event Horizon
You always roam in secret places
Unaware of shadowed faces
Animals lur...
You may not know
How I think of you
-Longing for tomorrow
Want to see your lovely eyes
That vanquish all my sorrows
You may not know
How I crave your being
How I want to breathe you in
Your scent is an exotic spice
That calms me from within
You may not know
How I treasure your voice
A ge...
I’m scratching, clawing
At my thoughts
This clean canvas,
Tainted, impure
Unacquainted with
The paints of creativity
It rests there, behind these worrisome eyes
Gazing back with silent mockery
Do you hear it?
The dry, dry laughter
Stripping me of words,
Of triumph
Steady heart beating
...
Caged in the remnants of yesterday
Hiding from a lost tomorrow
Angst is eating joy away
Replacing it with needless sorrow
The beast stalks through
The wait, the worry
Won’t move, can’t do
I’m sorry, sorry!
Words are twisted
Sleep is bliss
No use for the
Uselessness
Can’t face the...
She wonders, impervious to static ideals
Holds nimbly a branch, a stone, a quill
Exploring lingering doubt
And comes to understand
That, within the recess of her brow
Lay times that ought be entrenched in now
And seen by the eyes of tomorrow
For, as the fire’s light grows dim
Her mind swir...
Nervous?
Are you nervous?
Shaking, quaking is your being
Bones rattling like a swinging chain
Anxiety consuming you whole
Its fangs,
Poisonous, sharp, deceit
Piercing slowly
Agony
Worry, trepidation, fear
How will it be?
This future not yet seen,
Only deemed horrible
By what I think
...
I wake within a timeless dream
Sorrow's black flames
Concealing the Earth
Beneath
My body, a broken cage
Left to drown in
the sea of
Pity
Anguish, memories, lies
Can the water
Wash the truth
Upon uncertain hands?
Turmoil's sweet melody
Cast from the strings
of a tainted hea...
He plays a silent symphony
That only I can hear
As my body lays, becoming cold
Pleasant melodies drifting, drowning me
The soft notes of the piano, on pulling waves
Guides smoothly to a parting boat
The song grows fainter, fainter
The bed now surrounded by murky water
I cry at the pain gnawi...
We’re walkin’ round in circles
A game of truth or dare
And I can’t seem to notice
We’re not gettin’ anywhere
You say you’re right
I think you’re wrong
The clock is ticking on and on
I try to build a passage through
But nothing comes across to you
The days keep chasing ...
Sweet affection prowling
Like a guile tigress
In the hunting ground
Of thought
I wait for you
Whose eyes have not befallen
False beauty, outer deception
You, a heart so fragile
Would you break
If I held you
In these arms?
When I gaze
Into that sincere face
Listen to the untainted
Melod...
