Standing on the edge with a view onto,
Nothing,
Hands clenched in fists of rage,
My body locked and I feel,
Caged.
The wild animal within,
Hearing the wind,
Feeling,
Natures breath.
To hear the call from what is,
Wild.
A call to flight,
A call to arms.
Calling,
Calling me to,
Cage,
Cage,
Horrid cage.
Why must I view such a wasteland of,
Despair;
Yet hear the calling wind.
The sweet sweet song of,
A memory not my own;
Ancient.
Free.
I will break this cage.
I will run wild.
I will run free.
The horror rage,
That shakes the cage,
Of the wild,
Within me.
My bleeding heart,
Beats its tune,
In time to a rhythm,
Like a thunders boom.
Bleeding to a beat,
And beating in time,
It beats and it bleeds,
This heart of mine.
An empty ocean,
Inside my chest,
Bar a bleeding heart,
That will not rest.
So it beats its rhythm,
Its bleeding tune,
As I hope my dreams,
May somehow come true.
Cry it away,
Lay down alone,
Hope for tomorrow,
And today to be gone.
Let the tears roll on down,
As they wash away cares,
Let go of the words,
That brought with them your fears.
A dark moon is nigh,
Let it hide all the pain,
Wrapping you up,
From the day that has been.
Lay down in the night,
Lay down alone,
Lay down tonight,
Hope tomorrow will come.
Standing upon the mountain, almost knee high in snow. Standing before a gnarled old tree, the wind curling around my body, tugging at my cape like the hands of a child. Through the wind and the cold, tears still ran down my face. Reaching out a gloved hand, running fingers across the contours of the bark, so old, and lacking in the life that was once there, that was once so alive and that is no longer. A sigh escaped blue lips, sorrow for times lost, and then a gasp from behind a rock.
Come out child. Tell me why you are here.
A youthful set of eyes watching from behind a rock emerged, followed by a nose a mouth a face a body no
The Beauty of Death.
I burn; I burn, with the fury of hell unleashed. The flames rise up to meet me as I stand upon the pyre, fire the licking at my toes, my feet, my calves, as the hairs on my body burn bright and then sizzle into oblivion leaving a sulphur smell in their wake. I do not try to struggle, I do not try to scream; there is no point to it, only to give them the satisfaction of watching a weakling burn and writhe in pain.
The blood from a cut on my forehead begins to pour down my face and across my left eye as it moves with gravity until the earth will absorb it. The blood touched my lips and my tongue curled out to lick the dro
Here one day,
Then gone the next,
You were a breath of fresh air,
Into a closed room,
A ray of sun into a dark room,
Though death came with you,
And destroyed the world we knew.
All is gone,
The room is closed,
And the ray of sun,
That shone so bright,
Gets dimmer,
Everyday.
I have no life,
It was destroyed,
You along with it,
I screamed your name,
A million times,
And hoped that you would hear.
The heavens are your home now,
You must like there,
I really hope you do,
Because the heaven I had here,
Just cant exist,
Not without you.
We acted like adults,
Though no more than children,
Scaring the face,
Of the world we were given.
Given by those who did not comprehend,
The pain they had caused,
The damaging trend,
Killing the better world for their children.
Lights dim down,
Then flicker away,
The world goes dark,
As if to say,
Goodbye.
People lined on darkened streets,
Stare at the stars,
There are no great feats,
To bare them away,
For this is the start,
Of judgment day.
Hawk, hawk,
Do you watch me now?
As I move in between the people near me,
Hear their chatter,
Watch their movements,
Feel the pressure of the bustling crowd.
Close my eyes,
Feel the wind,
The quiet of the calling sky,
Spread my wings,
Stretching wide,
Lift me up unto the sky.
A sudden jolt,
Back down to earth.
Stumbling forward,
Hearing voices,
Sorry mate didnt see you there.
As I sigh,
Wings retract,
The wind recedes,
The confines of reality closing in,
Sorry hawk,
Not today,
I will fly with you some other day.
Hear that child?
The rain on the roof?
Step outside.
Take a walk.
Feel the water,
Upon your back.
Smell the scent,
Of the world alive.
Appreciate it.
Watch the rain,
Bring life.
Breaking the tension,
Of daily strife.
Cool on the skin,
Rolling down,
Earthward bound.
Take a walk with me,
Into the world,
Feel the downpour,
Of cleansing rains;
So let the downpour come,
To wash away the pain.
As no one can see you,
Cry in the rain.
In Heaven;
Hell;
And Purgatory;
And many worlds beyond;
Are places, places Angels fear,
Whether from on high and shining light;
Or raging inferno that they come;
They all creep past where I sleep.
Do not pass through Pagan lands, without a place to go.
For no matter Gods or Monsters;
To me they're all the same,
All just travellers on the path;
Yet note thy destination.
And for your sakes, write it upon your face,
Not just upon your heart.
If I read it once I've torn it out,
There is no chance for us to part.
So I remain a keeper,
At the crossroads in between.
And whether you are fallen and risen from bellow,
Or descending
Once I was eternal,
A God amongst Gods,
No fear, no pain, I lived,
I lived, I lived.
One evening I saw you,
You called for something,
Just a whisper from your lips,
That leapt onto the wind.
So I came to you,
I left what I knew,
Gave up what I had,
And I came to you.
The passion, the passion,
The fiery passion,
The spark of life, of love, of raging desire,
Such an inferno, a wildfire.
Though not even gods can control all of fate,
And you turned your back,
I don't know why,
You took my heart, and for that I cry.
It's been a long time now since you turned away,
Some days we talk, but there isn't a lot to say,
You burned yo
Tears go rolling down my face,
You left, you went, you walked away,
So why come back? to take the rest?
You ripped my heart right from my breast, what is there for you to take?
Yet willingly I do partake, in madness whence,
Im sure I came, but clarity on which I staked my name,
Is gone; has left; it hast depart,
And took with it, my beating heart.
A word, a sigh, is all you give,
And swoon I do, to a memory of you;
Then in the morning, when I awake,
Youre gone, without one word spake,
Summon you not, nor draw you close,
Your gone once more; my love departed.
A poem of self
Four years ago they came and marked him with an X,
three years ago they cane and painted the mark red,
two years ago they took some others with the mark,
last year we thought the time had come,
and then,
this year it did.
At first the came with axe and saw,
but found them blunt or broken.
Then the came with great machines,
but found they would not start.
They came with poisons,
but found they would not kill.
They finally came with fire,
to burn his presence away.
I could wait no more,
I chose to act.
They placed their torches to his bark,
But the fire would not burn.
With anger they struck out,
I would not l
Little boy death,
Come swing your scythe.
There's wars in the making,
There's bump's in the night.
Where's the boy who brings in the night?
Asleep within the warmth of the Gods?
Or amongst the stars?
He's here with I,
Old Man Apple Tree said.
Deep down within,
Amongst the leaves,
Hidden in the branches,
Asleep and safe.
Will you wake him?
No, not I.
For if I do,
He's sure to cry.
Rage, rage, burning rage.
Hell, fire and fury.
Pain and death and burning wrongs have nothing on my fury.
You tore me once.
You striped me bare.
Gouged furrows in my flesh.
Well have it back.
I'll eat your heart.
And use your veins for string.
Your neck will snap.
Your bones will crack.
I'll use your skull to drink.
It's because of you I dreamed a dream that left me bleeding hard.
You chained me up against a wall upon a mountain top.
Where ice and snow and wind did howl and cut me to the core.
I would not die so down you took me to the bottom of the sea.
I would not drown so up we went to the centre of the sun.
I would not bu
Little Boy Death
Built bridges high
From his plot of land
Well into the sky
He built them to places his heart longed to go
Through hail and rain and the heaviest snow
One bridge he built
It stretched out so far
Beyond my own eye sight
Beyond distant stars
It aimed for a heart not belonging to him
A heart that he feared
For the pain it could deal him
He had bridges of marble
Bridges of stone
Though bridges like this that he built alone
Were made from a grass with a button like end
That burn with a fury rarely known by man
Yet this bridge was strong
It held for many a year
Through floods and stroms
Winds and rain
But the d
Who will judge me by the words I say?
Who will?
Who will judge me by the things I think?
Who will?
Who will judge me by the things I do?
Who will?
Who will judge me by the way I live?
Who will?
Who will judge me by the way I die?
Who will?
If you will judge me by any of these,
I will not blame you.
But i ask simply judge me not by the way you may have seen me act,
or the things I've said, or thought, or even the way I've lived or died.
Just judge me by how I've loved,
Or better yet,
Don't judge me at all.
Flower petals fluttered away from my open hand upon the wind,
I felt the grass soft beneath my feet,
I dont know how long I stood for,
For how long I waited,
Or even why I stood there,
And yet I did.
I could feel the energy of my surroundings flow and pulse around me with life,
Was that what I felt?
Alive?
I began to become aware of something else,
A sensation that bemused me,
I grinned to no one is particular as I raised my arm,
I was covered in dew and the night air was cold and damp,
It was a chill I could feel in my bones,
I felt detached from myself and it hurt,
It hurt to think that I was nothing inside or outside o
I am a rich man living in a world of those who are poor.
It is a world of sound, and it is not that I choose not to hear, but more that I cannot.
It is a world of colour and it is not that I choose not to see, but more that I cannot.
It is a world of sensation and it is not that I choose not to feel, but more that I cannot.
I left this world; I entered a cave and delved into another world.
I found a fire within the cave; the fire was warm and yet gives no heat.
The fire is surrounded with people; I find all of them interesting.
I see an angel who is blind.
I see an old man wizened by age.
I see a baby young in years.
I see a deaf ma
