innocence is fiction
seppuku


ninety years ago
or maybe less...
upon a time
severe distress...
i sought to end this fire
that beats within my chest.

two hands are here
before my eyes
hold close my end
and sympathize
reluctantly, unwillingly
to help me to my rest.

i pull the blade
that fit so tight
and held it up
up to the light
the time has come to do it right
and put it to the test.

i lay the blade
upon my side
and hold it firm
with all my pride
to tear across my flesh
with honor at my best.

drink the night


your skin looks pearlly white
in the soft moonlight
theres a hint of fright
in your eyes tonight...
...you look around
among the trees
you hear a sound
inside the breeze...

why do you walk alone tonight?
shouldn't you be at home tonight?
i wonder if i might,
join you and drink...the night.

your eyes are the shade of jade
though they're shining bright
your hair is soft and smooth
shining in the light...
...i love my prey
and i have to strike...
there's no other way,
your mine tonight...

why do walk alone tonight?
shouldn't you be at home tonight?
i wonder if i might
join you and drink...drink the night.
howl


gone
from bright days
lost in the howl
of my nightmares
i shrink from their stares
and my solitude shares...
all of my pain.

cold
in your light
i drift away
and go elsewhere
i know its out there
it leaves me to care...for
all of my pain..

i push it all from me so i won't bring it down
and you of all know this and you continue to come around...

leave me now with what i began
try as you want
you can't understand ...all...
...all of my pain.


my dream


its black and lonesome
when the darkness comes
when the candlelight dies
and the smoke is gone
i close my eyes
and the wretched song
spills forth in a stream of pain.
it crawls from my heart
through my parted lips
and stands before me there
tainting all of my wits
and although i am aware
there is nothing wrong
my grasp of peace is in vain.
its all gone now, see?
the light within my chest
all but died out in me
blotted out. no contest.
nothing will ever be
and nothing will belong...
but the shell of me will remain.
