IllusionsHow crazy these delusions,
That arise in sheer confusion
For half-asleep it sets in my mind,
An eternity where thoughts are unconfined
Sense it makes when in this state,
But soon a reminder follows
A quick awakening brings reality, returns normality
To this half-deluded mind
As if to ever find,
Some sort of conclusion
What is normality, but an illusion?

Old FriendHello there again, my old friend
I didn't invite you, nor I ever do
How long will you stay?
Or will you ever go away?
Have you been here all along?
I thought you were gone,
Will you prove me wrong?
As long as you're here,
Don't come in too near
Keep a safe distance,
Don't consume
Find your own place
At the edge of the room

At least when I'm all alone,
I know I can find you at my home
Always by my side,
Willing to be my guide
Like an unsound ghost,
Providing company when I need it most
But I wish you would let me be,
And give back my eyes to see
I'm fal

Insane NormalityDon't fit me in your form
For i'm far from the norm
Don't try to contain
All that's in my brain
This normality,
makes us insane
In a mad world,
only the mad are sane

Grief of a GhostThe light I always imagined
The transportation I have longed
Have not come of this new state
What have I done to be so wronged?

All around me has not changed
The house I always knew
And the walls the same color
The air the same hue

Yet when I lift my hand
In front of my cold face
I see right through the figure
Barely a line left to trace

As I take a step, or clench my fist
I feel my limbs as floating gossamer
My whole form is but a mist
I never imagined it would be like this
When I ceased to exist

I hear in the next room
Cries of weep and woe
Familiar cries of my mother, my f

Autumn HomeThe wistful wind
The tide of the trees
The red and gold color
Of crisp fallen leaves

The vast green floor
And blue tapestries
Blew right through me
With the gentle breeze

My peaceful heart
Knows its home
This great rock
Of which I roam

Memento Vivere When we’re old and decaying
And our souls set free
Our limbs will become trees
And from out those trees
Our fingers form leaves
And from out our mouths
Sprout words,
That will form into birds
And these birds will fly
To the peak of the sky
And sing songs that ring
Immortal melodies
That sift through the breeze

Come Away, Come AwayCome away, come away
As I lazily lay
It was the last day in the month of May,
When it said come away, come away

Still I sit, never flit, out of wit
In my chair in the middle of nowhere
To go anywhere, I surely do care
But still I sit there, in the middle of nowhere

I can't find the strength
As I lie at full length
In this bed that I dread
But still it said,
From far far away,
Come away, come away
Like a daunting whisper, it taunts
Never leaving me, it haunts
To grant me needed ambition,
Or supply me with intuition

Carry me away, I say,
Take me away, so far far away
I can no longer

Childhood Open your bedroom window
And fly to the stars at night
Walk across the sun
And see it burning bright
Ride an enchanted unicorn
Across a sun setting beach
Then leap to a rainbow in the sky,
It being just beyond your reach
Dance amongst the clouds
And sing with angels in Heaven
Then think to yourself,
What it would be like to be seven

Speak to talking animals
Imagine what they'd say
Dream of colorful landscapes
Then live to see it that day
Move to a faraway land
And live in a golden castle
Then pause and think for a second
What life would be without the hassle

Swim alongsid

Only OneThese past years have
proved there's only one,
And so will the years to come,
prove that my heart
belongs to only one

For there's none more beautiful;
None whose soulful eyes gleam
like a beam from the moon,
Causing my aching heart
to swoon

None whose smile so radiant
can implant within me
a feeling unlike any other
Whose presence I feel more present
than the living soul of another

None I so desire
can set my heart on fire
in a perpetual flame,
At just the thought
of his name

None whose touch
I long for so very much,
Whose lips I wish to kiss
so I will not miss

LoveOh, love
I know not how
The Heaven's above
Breathe that vow
In which all life,
Sings without care
Sweetness in the
Palpitating air
When shall it rain
Down from the skies
To relieve the yearning
Of my deepest cries?

Execution"Execution"

For my first execution I had a fusion of thoughts

Circling wildly in my head like the thief who was caught

And rendered helpless like a cat locked in a cage

But I knew I'd be forced to turn the other page

I walked onto the firing range with robotic eyes

And a clear mind so that I could be blind

To what I was about to do to this criminal at hand

I'm just going along with my job description's plans

If it wasn't for him we wouldn't even be

In this situation but for now currently

I had to execute this felon for the crimes that he did

Or else he'd commit more in time God forbid

I gripped the gun's handle as tightly as I co

The Ravens of ValhallaO’er desolate shores wept the fate of immortal flames
And into a Winter sun I bleed my dreams,
as a thousand years of love & war dressed the sky
Long-ships sailed to the otherworld upon Odin’s breath
Betwixt night and day I wandered, shimmering, peering
— Till my chalice of Dragons blood flowed but no more
I became a warrior lost in the stars, drifting, ever falling,
Until the shadows entombed my soul in Raven-lore

Lo the tempest eerie; ‘magick entwining spirit and flesh
Upon snow I awoke dreary, beneath winged-silhouettes
‘Couldst be, my Princess adored; — last of the Valkyrie!
I recall — myriad of

Count The Stars"Count The Stars"

I tried to count the ways

That I love you in the stars

This project took me days

And I'm still not very far

Some stars burned brightly

Before falling to the ground

Just then I thought of how

You make me feel when you're around

I never thought I could love

But you slowly showed me how

Back then I couldn't do

Things that I can now

I love your color eyes

Your grin; your skin

I love the way you glare

When you know I let you win

I love the way your hair

Gets tangled in the wind

Its great how we relate

Because I know where you've been

I love how you're so kind

I love the way you think

I love your sex appeal

Reaper in the ShadowsI am the dust in the gathering light,
Heard in the drop of morning rain,
Looming within the rose bud,
A speck in night's velvet wake.

I whisper louder than Zephyr,
Sing with a voice that's croaked,
You hear me beneath the screams,
Of fears Silence cloaked.

As warm as Love's confusion,
As cold as the other's heart.
The shady, cunning warrior,
Who tears the world apart.

You'll find me drowned in water,
Buried deep in desert sand.
Unseen like the wisp of vapor,
That came from no man's land.

Freed to be caged forever,
In an endless labyrinthian maze.
Where each dead end is my escape,
And waxed wings are set ablaze.

ArtThe corporeal embodiment of the human soul.

Ethereal IntwinationRembranches reaching through
Heavenly hollows in the clouds
Tranquilly shaping unguided thoughts
of gardens in vasettes
deeply set in delerium

VisionI watch you as you watch me
Your glaring eyes sink into my screen
And i'm all you see
All around you becomes invisible
Once i'm turned on
I've seen you laugh
many times
and cry on occasion
but usually you just stare
Motionless
Filling your head with my filth
I do have some worthwhile
things to offer
You just have to search
Dig Deeper
Hunt
And you may learn something
or expand your horizons
or even be inspired
Just don't stay too long
Keep our visits short
Because sometimes i get tired
of watching too

Dreams

Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Traditional Fixed Forms

What wonders the imagination can bring
With opened ear and untamed eye
Dreams that we shall toss and fling
And float about towards the sky

By luminous light of thought
Day and night will awaken newly
And become what you have sought
To find your most distant Thule

Never letting go of that which we cherish
The spirit of innocence and truth
Why without it, what would we but perish?
In the darkness of lost youth
