golden curls caress the sweet outline of your face
ruby lips so soft and full
I long to wrap you in my strong embrace
but am afraid I'll lose my soul
I have been dormant a thousand years
my emotions left sleeping away
never let anyone close enough to see the tears
kept all those who might have cared at bay
but now you stand here before me with open arms
eyes begging, heart pleading for something I cannot give
can I undo the spell of ages without doing harm
can I learn once again what it is like to live
I fear the answer, however, is no
I cannot love, my heart has grown cold
bitter and barren like the white snow
I am destined to live my life alone
I turn my back so not to show
the tears now streaming down my face
I turn my back so I'll never know
the tears you had, how I crushed you like lace
I never meant for it to go this far
never believed that it was possible for anyone to care
about a soul like mine locked behind bars
but you broke them down, you took the dare
you fell in love with a tormented mind
and as I start to walk away
I take the chance, stop, and look behind
you eyes full of tears begging me to stay
but I cannot, you deserve much more
than I could ever hope to be
I see your pain, I feel your heart grow sore
I just hope in time, you'll understand and forgive me
I glance around the room
and what do I see
My worst enemy
staring straight at me
She calls me names
and puts me down
I soak it all in
never show my frown
I shouldn't listen
I know most are lies
still my ears stay open
and a part of me dies
I glance around the room
and find my worst fear
my nightmare boogey man
staring back from the mirror
You think no one knows
how it feels,
no one sees
how much it took to heal.
You never think
anyone knows the real you,
the person inside,
but it's not true.
I see your pain.
I hurt when you cry.
But I'm afraid to act,
terrified to try,
to tell you my thoughts,
how I feel inside.
I feel just like you.
And that's why I hide.
Black empty darkness surrounds
Deafening silence all around
Stoicism an extreme understatement
In my emotionless existence
I feel as though
I've lived a million years.
And if I had it to do again,
I don't know what I'd do
without you by my side -
Always my best friend.

Does Fate Withdraw
When All Is Lost
Or Does It Remain
At Any Cost
Pitch black is all I see
Surrounding all, enclosing me
The creatures are there, in the night
Unlike us, they fear the light
Keep the flame burning, even a spark
Tell me - Are You Afraid Of The Dark?
one path dark and narrow
another path bathed in light
I aim my mind like an arrow
taking in the sight
should I take the bright road
knowing the path already
where dreams are lost and lies are told
and your life is calm and steady
or should I take the chance
and travel into the night
where elves and fairies dance
and children scream with fright
the bright path I already know
it is void of adventure and night
so I aim myself away from the glow
and fly with the dragons into twilight
Slicing through the life I've created
Under the smile no one saw the pain
Inside my mind an eternal torment
Could it be I've lost hope and gone insane
I know the answer - a bold unquestionable yes
Did anyone see that I cried out for help
Everyone ignored me, now I open my vein
Something some can never conceive
is how I die a hundred times a day.
My mind plays make believe
behind my eyes as each scene plays.
I watch in silence as I leave.
Death takes my hand as I walk away.
Once off a building I leapt,
till broken at the bottom I lay.
Another time I took pills and slept,
though in that sleep I would forever stay.
A knife in one was another concept -
the blood running from my wrists making my skin grey.
The deafening noise of a gun's load roar
was yet another that send me on my way.
Then lungs full of water as I reach the shore
after throwing my body into the bay.
Two questions ring loud over the years,
begging for answers to come to my ears.
Are these visions just insanity's fires?
Or are they my dark heart's deepest desires?
warriors on white steeds
rushing out to mortal combat
some will die, some will become champions
defending their families, their land and their lord
loyalty held above all
knights of the table, protectors of the realm
through hell and back they go
to prove their worth and gain their title
now they land there on the battlefield
facing the bridge of life and death
watching their enemies raid their homes
last thoughts of how they'd failed their lord
love, hate, emotions wild
fear, bravery, a crying child
nothing more so meek and mild
White devils
Black angels
Eyes blazing red
Evil glares
A perfect coupling
The perfect pair
Your eyes melt my soul
bright stardust amongst the sea of an endless black void
Your lips melt my heart
blazing red against the twilight approaching
Your touch - cool and soft
send me reeling into senses I hadn't yet found
Your face - a guiding light
saves me from the death my mind has been coaching
At night she wails and screams about
My windows rattle with each and every shout
I wish she were alive so she'd be free of her cry
But she lives amongst the undead, she cannot truly die
Wooden stakes work on vampires, as do garlic and sunlight
Silver bullets kill werewolves when caught in a sight
No hunter, however, has yet to conceive of a way
To silence the banshee, a dead elf to stay
the shed of a tear.
the blink of an eye.
a second goes by,
and millions die.
compassion, empathy, kindness, love -
all the components a good book's made of
judging it only by its cover
never looking within to find a lover
after all the time we foolishly waste
trying to take the light and celebrate
the night then becomes our friend
takes the life, causes an end
no spy or cheat can then betray
the lies no one remembered you say
buried with you deep below
shouting loudly hoping all will know
I was alive
and what is there now to show?
Night fires
Glory days
Wrongs make rights
Virtue always pays
Safe is an illusion
Truth is along for the ride
Nobility goes to the birds
Bravery runs and hides
