Sitting on the edge of dark woods, Listening to soft song, Drawing listener to rest, Taking shelter in forever song, Dressed in Sunday best. Sitting in eternal trance, Dancing on dreamland’s eternal

Mad Mother
Knows whats it is like for five minutes to be a father, Knows whats it is like to have child torn away, Knows whats it is like to live ten minutes away, Knows whats it is like not having visiting rights, Knows whats it is like watching offspring grow up far away, Knows whats it…
The Ability to Not Give a Fuck.
What do you think gets better with age? I’ve enjoyed the increasing ability to care less about judgements others hold about me.
Soundful Silence
Inside the walls, Screaming aloud, Echos bounce all around, Eons pass, As soul screams, Silence, As dreams drift, Hopes born, Passing into abyss, There alone, Stands I, Surrounded by thought, Countless hours, Of casual eternity, Later, Forever later, Now.
Bad News on the Horizon
Sitting on the chest, Bad news inside, Delivery on the horizon, Waiting on the clock to tick by, Seconds turn to days, While living in a mental health haze, Wondering, what the future holds, Symptoms attack while fumbling in the dark, What else to do, But wait, each day, a horrible wait.
Skeleton Heart Shaped Key
Damn I sit here rage inside my chest, Key, skeleton like, Shapely tool to open my chest wide, Wooden ribs sticking outward, As hand reaches in, Beating heart throbs as the jewel is removed, Treasure thief delving deep within. Riding waves on Jolly Rodger, Chest stored deep within the hold, Skeletons in the closet, Hiding…
Valhalla, The Call
Standing at attention Gun at salute, Boat circles about, Fists pound on convoy, Surrounded, hours from safety, Villagers pissed for no reason, Danger, danger, danger close, No regrets, lived life to the fullest, Punching forward, Living to hear Valhalla’s call the next day, Officer standing behind me, 30 seconds away from firing, Mass destruction likely,…
Skyman
Railing against the sky, Middle finger held high, Shouting anger on the rooftops, Sky creature above looking on, Yelling, mad, liar, Destructive life force, Moving dance of destruction, Penance rains down in devastation, Torrents of rain fall, Floods kiss the earth, Sliding with her power, Down mountain she falls, Towards screaming man, Middle finger held…
Liquid Refreshment
Inside the demons dance, Dragging onward to the gates of hell, Taking inventory of souls deception, Liars, cheaters, backstabbers, all alike, Burning onwards into eternity, Dancing the infernal hells. Vampire’s face grins, Taking hold of innocent flesh, Tearing, biting, grabbing, ripping out the heart, Beating flesh in hand, Squeezing the soul, Pressing liquid refreshment for…
Moon Above
Mankind lays on soil, Earth rises, surrounding, Rocks crumble, Water trickles while moving the world, Moon above cries aloud, While the stones echo their silence, Surrounding, taking, destruction rises, Volcanic ash flutters, Mankind rocks the world.
