By Alex Warner As I observe the dark, gray skies, Spots suddenly appear before my eyes. The orbs are quite bothersome, My unaccustomed burden is cumbersome. I'll have to ignore the nuisance And try to live with this new annoyance. I sit back and fall into a deep quiescence, Not knowing I would soon learn of my demise. I dreamt that I was in attendance, On an aircraft of cries. I soon realized that we were on our dying descent, That all I knew and had ever known would soon vanish. I was caught in an unfortunate event And I began to feel very feverish. The otherwise promising land grew near. As soon as I looked around me one last time, My mind became clear And I awoke to a chime. As I fastened my seatbelt, The cockpit started shaking. I can't describe how I felt, It seemed like the whole thing was breaking. I desperately held on tight, Watching in horror of that repugnant sight, That I had just seen in my dream. I heard the people scream, With intense aversion. For all of these people expected an excursion. I breathed once more And lifted my feet off the floor. The land grew near, And the blood from my nose began to smear. We hit with great force, As I discovered the source. The pilot had died of a heart attack, Just as soon as I was informed everything went black. By Alex Warner The sun sets in the distance And always will in timeless existence. For the horizon engulfs the sunlight, And I watch in overwhelming delight, As the last of these glorious rays fall upon me, And I can see thee, With those beautiful eyes, Just as blue as the morning skies. Staring into my deep, darkened spheres, You see the bittersweet tears, That are falling down my face, As we hold each other and embrace. Alas the time has come for me to depart, You know you'll always be in my heart, And I swear on the stars in the sky, That this won't be our last good-bye. By Alex Warner As the dark sky beckoned me, The stars beamed brightly. I started to wonder, Had mankind made a blunder? Is life as we know it all a lie? Does anyone really know where we go when we die? Or maybe the Bible was right after all, That God really did create the great hall, That we call life. So why do we take a knife, To our vein And experience that excruciating pain. To try to escape this sprightliness, Then say it was just accidentalness. Do we really want to die? When we start to cry, From the anguish and the hurt. Do we really want to subvert? Life is full of unrequited questions. There are too many suggestions, As to what was here before our time. I think we're all too sublime. If you try to think back, To what was here before life, You might just have an anxiety attack. To think what was here before, Can make your mind sore. The deep thoughts of this, Become an abyss, Almost like a maelstrom of twilight. What was here before the night? The thought that it all just appeared, Is very highly revered. Do you really think that this wonderful world, Was all just unfurled? Do you believe that nothing created life? And that, that nothing can fit on the tip of a knife. What has this world come to? Why have we gone askew? Well, I'll leave that question up to you. By Alex Warner The moon shines brightly down upon you. What a joy it is to woo. We lay there laughing very loudly. I can see you loved it too. We sat in silence for a while, Staring at the empty vile. Pondering on how much time had past, Wondering if it would be our last. Our simple question was answered quickly, As soon as the red lights hit us swiftly. The men in blue took us away And we were no longer happy and gay. "The Cold, Blue Sea" By Alex Warner As I sit staring at the cold, blue ocean, I notice the sad look on your face. Your eyes show much commotion And I drift off into that imaginary place. I picture the world without emotion And I look in disgrace, As I see that there is no devotion. It's almost as if everyone's mind has been erased. And everyone moves in harmonic motion. The existence of mankind seems so chaste. Whatever happened to demotion, Or permissive waste? Where is the preconceived notion And the foretaste? I want to know why I am thinking this way, Has my mind gone astray? As I ponder on this question, I regain regression. I turn to you once again And try to explain, The journey I have just experienced. You stare at me like I'm insane. You don't understand that the world needs pain, We need the disdain to stain Or our lives would have nothing to gain. I awake in a room of chronological succession, To find myself staring at the deep, blue sea. Am I in a state of psychotic depression? I guess I'll never know because I will never be, To a tolerable degree. I live in a mental institution Awaiting my retribution. By Alex Warner The smell of morning dew fills the air. The sky is so beautiful today. Nothing can compare, To this allay. I�ll say one last prayer, For you stay And on my heart I swear, That everyday, I'll be with you. So when the day arrives, I'll be there waiting. For our lives, Will be elating. �Kindled Emotions� By Alex Warner I see you staring at me in the hall, With those beautiful pale blue eyes. I can only recall, The nasty disguise, That tricked me. You wore this cloak like a marquee, But I was not befooled for long. It was not hard for you to appall, To make me take notice of those dark skies. I knew that you had me in your thrall. The news hit me like the Bise*. It was like you meant to enthrall, Maybe even to chastise, Or pall. Whatever the case, I couldn�t keep up the pace And you couldn't keep a straight face. You lead me on, And now you're forgone. *Bise - a dry cold north wind in Southeast France By Alex Warner What is it that thou' loves? The thing that most matters, Or the feeling of the mind? I might add the feeling of lecherousness, To which one has spoken of. The one thing that separates us, The one thing that tears us apart. I love you with my heart, You love me with your mind. So why must this recede? When two hearts love one another it is love, This is not the case with us. For you love me with your lust And I love you with my heart. So you see this must end And with that I fare thee well. "Tonight" By Alex Warner The stars shine so bright, tonight Knowing I'm with you is all that matters. Holding you in my arms so tight. The need to ask you "Do you love me?" comes latter. The night does not make room for the light. As the moon shines, the more I think about the times we've shared. I remember the night, That you were scared. We were watching that horror flick. You were so close to me indeed. It all went by so quick, For I think you would agree. Yes I do remember that night When the stars shined so bright Just as they do tonight. �Love Lies in the Heart� By Alex Warner Does thy love live inside one's heart? Or does thy love live in one's mind? To grieve on the grave of sadness And mourn on a bed of death. Why doth thee with grief? Give to me your heart. I will help you overcome your sorrow. I will set the love free, But you must agree to be with me, Just for one last time on the marrow. What more can I ask from you? Come to the place of life, To exist in it's sweet pleasures. Be with me in that place, Come and live the life of love. �To Yearn For Love� By Alex Warner Does thou' heart yearn for love? Or Does thou' heart yearn for lust? 'Tis the day when we will be marry. The day when all comes in white And the day will end abruptly in happiness. I fear this day will never come, The year is once again to short. For the pain of you fills my heart. Will you be with me one last time? I will not survive in the darkness, And the light penetrates your soul. It shines a great brightness, indeed But what shall I make of this? Only you can tell me that. The only thing I can say is, You love seeps into my veins, Like an intravenous liquid. Once it reaches my heart, it stops, But only for a moment For once again I am with you. |
