scream with me
CLOUD COVER
the sky is dim today
no light shines through
the purpose escapes me
eludes my sight
illusions surround me
twisting and chasing
choking the sunlight
killing my self esteem
with my souls light
i shall defeat them
or erase them at least
and clear the skies
drying the clouds
showering in the sunlight
letting my spirit soar
at last
RISE
the voice floats all around me
screeching fingernails against me
for it is a lesson i must unlearn
before i may wander the path
that shows me my own promise
and discover the exit
from this path that i despise
use my senses to cross the threshold
unbeknownst to me
the lies are the truths
for my fallen ancestors
i must rise
ALTAR
your blood spilled
in the name of him
your unholy screams
giving him power
the grip of fear
controls them
the sheep to the slaughter
for his indulgence
our sky wells with blood
running over the edges
falling like rain
but it is our precipitation
knee deep in crimson water
our souls still incomplete
SIPHON
the words are forgotten
but the meanings remain
underneath stories
behind lessons
they would have you awaken
from this dream
and remember who we are
and what we were
the chimes of discord resound
among our faithful
eyes blind to reason
smoke covering the sun
chokes out the truth
false miracles siphon
our desire to be free
we are beset with the quest
to awaken more
from bittersweet dreams
CLEAN THOUGHTS
standing with you
your truth is me
always in my line of sight
i am not your enemy
with us side by side
staring straight at me
with your back to the light
we are not your enemy
just an arms length apart
seeing your bleeding memories in me
seek true knowledge in the night
you are your own enemy
FALLING SENSATIONS
the fear sweeps through me
washes my teeth with blood
cracks my soul with its dismay
at last i am young again
free to explore my burdens
controlled by my repression
the waves of my conscience
petrify with each movement
grinding my mind to a halt
and in this moment
i find myself compelled
to eat my memories
SIREN
melodies of memories past
realities singing clear
lost thoughts when years fade
promises of hopeful dreams
increase with each pretty tune
each delightful setting
releasing emotions anew
i grow with the voice
becoming something different
something true
AMNESIA ANONYMOUS(AA)
separate what is mine
deny what is mine
but always remember
its hard to be forgotten
all i need is a little diligence
a small amount of persuasion
to become
what i have always desired
and now i know
you wear your perspective
like a crown
well my crown is hard
and covered by blood
i earned with intelligence
so deny who i am
separate my beliefs
but keep in mind
i will always remember
