Life
 

Death, the celebration of Life.
Is not in itself to fear,
But instead fear the fear of Death,
As it is a far more powerful creature.

Fear, shared by all life,
Should not rule life,
Should moderate and strengthen it.
If one should not have fear,
The reaper will soon be near.

Life, created by the life.
A complex creature.
A mystery.
A paradox that we strive to understand.
One will only understand Life
Once one understands the Self,
Once one understands that answers aren't found in the Future,
But in the Past.

Light and Dark

 

Light will bring sight.
Dark will bring insight.
Light will bring good.
Dark will bring evil.
Light will bring unity.
Dark will bring solitude.
Light will bring faith.
Dark will bring wisdom.
Light will darken.
Dark will lighten.
When Light and Dark become one,
One will obtain the key
That will open up the gates to the Kingdom.

Time

 

Time,
It is the relentless force,
The unstoppable force
That drives our lives
To the inevitable end.
It counts down our seconds
From the beginning
To our end.
We're all given
A small amount
Of time,
But we won't realize it,
Until we're all
Out of time.

Shackles of Lies

 

Break out of the chains,

Escape from all the pains.

The world, full of mystery.

The world, full of misery.

One man craves the fortune, one the fame.

Both fill their lives with lies and shame.

Build themselves in a false utopia,

Showing no signs of phobia.

Break out of the chains,

Escape from all the pains.

The world, full of muse.

The world, full of abuse.

We cover the ugly with the mask of beauty.

We consider this to be our rightful duty.

Acceptance does not come with reality,

But comes with some false entity.

Break out of the chains,

Escape from all the pains.

The world, full of great wonder.

The world, full of endless blunder.

These shackles of lies that keep us down,

Make us hide the truth that can be found.

We all hold the Key to the Kingdom,

But our deceit covers the keyhole to freedom.

Break free from these chains,

Escape from all of your pains.

The world, we fill it with poison and dreary.

The world, we will make it into a morbid cemetery.

Pure Temptation

 

Purity or temptation?

A timeless contemplation.

Purity for the patient,

A people almost ancient.

Temptation for those with greed,

For those with an insatiable hunger to feed.

Purity or temptation?

Both a different sensation.

The flame of eternal light,

The candle that burns in the night.

The blaze of eternal despair,

The destruction of souls beyond repair.

Purity or temptation?

A heavenly salvation,

An eternal damnation,

A blissful flight,

A distressful plight,

A gleeful rise,

A gloomy demise.

Purity or temptation?

A startling realization.

No More

 

I've listened to your bickering,

I've heard your gossiping,

I've taken you blaming,

I've felt your shaming.

All you do is fuel the fire,

That burns for my pyre.

All you do is tear at my soul,

Trying to decimate my ultimate goal.

No more.

I've let you use me,

I've let you abuse me,

I've let you confuse me,

I've let you diffuse me.

All you do is fuel the fire,

Burning up my deepest desire.

All you do is tear at my soul,

Wanting for my bell to toll.

No more.

You want me to live in a cemetery.

You want me to cut off my central artery.

You want me to live in constant pain.

You want me to cut off my central vain.

All you do is fuel the fire,

Which only feeds my insatiable ire.

All you do is tear at my soul,

Tear at me until I'm no longer whole.

No more...

Deceit

 

My heart filled with burning rage,
My mind as profound as the sage.
I carry on a loud, unheard cry.
I hear only a universal lie.
I see the world of shame and deceit,
I see these people of greed and conceit.
These people can't get past the confusion,
They can't overcome the delusion.
They make up this world of pretend.
They destroy the world that we can no longer mend.
I need to be free,
Free from this indecency.

The Forgotten Soul

 

I am the soul forgotten,
My body already in the coffin,
Decomposing and lying.
Now my soul is dying.
They never came to my grave,
They treated me like the knave.
They act like I was never born,
They leave my soul very torn.
I know lie on my second deathbed
With this pain surging through my heart and head.
I am asking why,
But I will never get a reply.
I am no longer with these men and women,
For I am the soul that was forgotten...
 

April 2001

 

 

Light of Darkness

 

I walk down my path of life,
Full of endless darkness and strife.
I see a beacon of light signal for me,
Trying to break me from the dark, to set me free.
I envision a world free of suffering and pain.
I see a world free from this dark plane.
The light burns like the eternal light of salvation,
Guiding me out of this horrid damnation.
My heart, filled now with hope and glee,
And then full of hurt and animosity.
I now see the truth that the light does hide.
All the light will do is fill me with false pride.
I would rather walk down my chosen path of gloom,
Instead of forever resting in my deathly tomb.
 

April 2001

 

 

Breathe

 

My lips turn blue,
My heart changes too.
You believe that this is the only way.
You wish that I were gone yesterday.
Your choking off my lifeline,
Your cutting off my air,
Your ripping out this soul of mine
And filling it with despair.
Your taking away all of my breath.
You’re bringing me to my death.
So I ask you please,
Just let me breathe.
So I beg you please,
Just let me breathe.
 

April 2001

 

 

The Struggle

 

The struggle of it all.

The struggle to keep from the fall.

The struggle to be free.

The struggle just to be.

Death becomes the easy way out

From the pressure of living life out.

Death becomes the short sweet drug.

It makes us forget the pain that we lug.

Death becomes the ultimate temptation.

To live or not, the greatest contemplation.

The struggle to be patient.

The struggle for the pleasure.

The struggle to be meant.

The struggle for the cure.

To feel the sun or the dirt?

To feel the joy or the hurt?

To feel the soft touch or the harsh sting?

To feel the short-lived or the everlasting?

All the choices we juggle

Is the human struggle.

Angel's Eyes

Your eyes so simple and soothing,
Yet so perplexing and enchanting.
Your eyes fill me with glee
As their gaze consumes me.
Your eyes full of boundless tomorrows,
I never see them with harmful sorrow.
Your eyes embraced with endless care,
Without one once of destructive despair.
Your eyes engulfed with a loving flame.
It is your eyes that keeps my heart tame.
Your eyes as precious as an emerald.
They tell a future of warmth, not cold.
Your eyes will never fade away,
As in my mind they will forever stay.
Your eyes will forever be
Pure, innocent, and free.
My angel dear,
My heart is near.

Ants

 

We are all but ants,
Working and scurrying about.
Living in our underground,
Living our life out.
Hidden from the light of Chance,
Deaf to Freedom's sound.
We wander without aim.
We wander without a shout.
We wander about our mound.
We believe every word without a doubt.
Our lives have become a pointless shame.
Our spirits must be found,
For our time is almost out.

The Silent Sea

 

My silent nightmares scare me awake.

A chill causing me to stir and shake.

I see a silhouette in the silver of the moonlight.

A ghostly figure almost out of sight.

I can still see her in my mind.

She was so very considerate and kind.

Why had she been taken?

Why am I still shakin’?

Why can I still hear her in my head?

God, why must she be dead?

A life full of happiness.

A life full of pleasantness.

A life full of eternal promise.

And we never even got to share a final kiss.

I still can feel her presences near me,

Reminding me of the calm, cruel sea.

Why couldn’t you have taken us both?

This is a cruel fate that I loath.

Why did you take away my everything?

Why did you take away the one that meant anything?

Tear for Life (What Are We Doing?)

 

I hear the screams of the mothers crying.

I see the pains of the children dying.

We kill our future and hope for the best.

We all will end in an eternal rest.

What will it take to heal our wounds?

Why do we rape our earthly wombs?

What can we do to save our souls?

What can we do to make us whole?

What are we doing?

 

Pain for pleasure, pleasure for pain.

Creating havoc for worthless gain.

We’re completely blinded by our powers,

It’s no wonder why Nature cowers.

We destroy the planet like a fly,

Not considering the reasons why.

We cut down what gets in our path.

We’ll torment, then laugh and laugh.

What are we doing?

 

I feel the pain of the helpless soul.

I’m starting to lose all self-control.

The tears are rolling down my cheek.

Why must humanity be so bleak?

Our history is being written in crimson,

As we make this place our hellish prison.

As we continue with this agonizing grief

I will never breathe my sigh of relief.

Short and Sweet

 

When it comes down to it,

Life is a miss or a hit.

Our cards are dealt

And Fate's our apt dealer.

Our anguish is felt

And Death’s our pain-killer.

 

August 17, 2001

 

 

Final Teardrop

 

Eyes watered, about to fall.

Hardly able to even crawl.

Silent voice, screaming soul.

Spirit becomes a swallow hole.

Pain and Dreary,

Are all that fill me.

Suffering and Sorrow,

Waits for tomorrow.

Mind of dark art,

Corroding all heart.

Scars will never show,

The wounds only grow.

 

The tear drops.

The life stops.

 

August 23, 2001

 

  

Life’s Worth

 

This is my soul crying.

This is my spirit dying.

These are my tears cascading.

This is my life fading.

 

I can't get over this feeling of guilt.

It's like a parasite causing me to wilt.

Will the suffering stop eating away at me,

Or will it finally just end up killing me?

 

This is my body shaking.

This is my heart aching.

These are my eyes watering.

This is my life withering.

 

I’ve got no where to go to,

Not even for my last adieu.

Why can’t I stop this rage from paining?

Is my life only worth its baning?

 

This is my soul crying.

This is my spirit dying.

These are my tears cascading.

This is my life alone and fading.

Internecine Soul

 

Inside me is a creature of illusions.

Inside me I find endless conclusions.

Scrambled thoughts, vacant feelings,

Constricted emotions, twisted dealings.

Anxiety builds up in a moment’s notice,

But not for reasons of fear or bliss,

For reasons unknown to me,

Reasons that I cannot see.

My heart plays my own requiem,

But with notes that I can’t fathom.

Cumbersome dreams of mortality

Awaken me from this reality.

My spine chilled to the core

Listening to disheartening lore.

Fire inside reducing me to ashes

As my body steadily blanches.

Silent voices whispering to me in my head

Telling me that I’m not dying, but already dead.

 

September 29, 2001

 

  

Bottled Feeling, Deadly Dealing

 

In that spot my heart let her slip away.

In that spot my mind will forever stay.

Gone from my life in a sudden flash,

Me standing there feeling the harsh lash.

How could have I lost her all that fast?

That day will haunt me ‘til my life has passed.

 

My heart in forever paining,

My eyes constantly raining,

My soul is pained and aching,

My body saddened and shaking.

 

Why didn’t I tell you that I loved you?

Why did I think that you knew?

This is something I shouldn’t have assumed.

Now my heart will forever be doomed.

I have lost my life and have nothing else to live for.

Dispose of this body as I don’t need it anymore.

 

My heart frozen in time,

My eyes almost blind,

My soul lies there almost dead,

My body paralyzed from end to end.

 

All I do is just stay there and brood.

No one can lift me from this dark mood.

I am growing deeper into insanity.

My absence will be the best for humanity.

As my lights are now going rapidly dim,

I ask myself, why I let you go with him.

 

My angel, my life taken from me.

In that moment, I ceased to be.

 

October 6, 2001

 

 

I Want To Go

 

You make me feel so dumb.

You make my body numb.

You think that my mind stands still,

While I prepare for my kill.

You destroy my every hope.

I have no way left to cope.

Take me by the hand.

Make me understand.

Free the blood from my veins.

Show me my life is a stain.

I don’t care if I go.

I can’t stand to be so low.

Please just make my end,

For once just be a friend.

Please just let me go.

I want to go.

I need to go.

Just let me go away.

I cannot stay.

 

You say I’m worthless.

You say I’m pointless.

You say I’m useless.

You say I’m meaningless.

I’d say you’re wrong,

But no point to be strong.

It’s almost done.

I’m almost gone.

Please just let me go.

I want to go.

I need to go.

Just let me go away.

I cannot stay.

 

My time is near.

I can sense it dear.

No more shames.

No more games.

I’m going away.

I cannot stay.

 

Goodnight my dear.

Don’t worry, I’ll be near.

Melancholic Depression

 

Black becomes the colour of choice.

Sombre is the tone set in my voice.

Spaced out into the dark, deep abyss,

Thinking of the things I no longer miss.

Silently staring at my own reflection.

Quietly planning my bodily dissection.

The child inside me is on his last drop of existence.

My body is doing whatever it wants without resistance.

I don’t care if my soul has fallen,

This life is just way too sullen.

Smiling wryly from ear to ear,

Watching my dreams go down in tears.

This is my life, my impression,

This is my melancholic depression.

 

October 9, 2001

 

  

Revival

 

Silent serenity,

Care-free life we made.

Harsh reality,

Care-free life we spade.

Perfect danger,

Running from the fear.

Screaming stranger,

Can’t get into the clear.

Denied dreams,

A future trying to obtain.

Dried stream,

A life trying to sustain.

Shattered family,

No place left to go.

Disgruntled enemies,

Nothing left to show.

Barren Earth,

Nothing left on this land.

Global birth,

We were made of this sand.

Endless pain,

Ruthless punishment and torture.

Bloody stain,

Polluted plans set into the future.

 

Blooming flower,

Under all the wreckage and debris.

Undying power,

It grows back stronger and free.

 

October 11, 2001

 

  

Mirage of Tranquility

 

Silence in screams,

Nothing is what is seems,

Waiting in calm anxiety,

Trying to understand society.

Dreams of nightmares resurface,

Ambitions arise of tender malice,

Stuck in this beautiful pain forever,

Body and soul being severed.

 

Everything comes tumbling down.

Everything collapses in an instance.

Your soul, your spirit is nowhere to be found.

Your body becomes lost in the distance.

 

Let it be…

 

Healthy in disease,

Nothing comes with ease,

Watching the angels scheme,

The earth inherited with pitiful esteem.

Conjuring up mendacious illusions,

Relying on these lovely delusions.

Elegies sung with heavenly praise,

Bodies fall and spirits raise.

 

Everything comes tumbling down.

Everything collapses in an instance.

Your mind, your thoughts deafened by the sound.

Your body sheltered in full resistance.

 

Let it be…

 

Surrounded by incoherent babbling.

Surrounded by trivial squabbling.

War rages on and where will you be?

Hate tears through and where will you be?

Earth painted in crimson and what will you do?

Souls cry and scream for help and what do you do?

 

You let it be.

You let it be.

You just let it be.

You let…it…be…

 

October 17, 2001

 

  

Vow to an Angel

 

My enticing love,

Truly an angel from above,

When thou art around

Nothing shall keep me down.

I will walk through the fields of war

Just to let our hearts soar.

Through the small and in extremis,

To be with thee for the ideal bliss.

I shall fight for thee 'til the end,

'Til every drop of my blood, sweat, and tears are spent.

Through episodes of melancholy and mope,

Your heart warms me with the Phoenix's hope.

Battling past every demon sent,

My love for thee remains fervent.

For even when I shall die,

My love for thee shall never shy.

 

October 24, 2001

 

  

The Cycle

 

Lying around, gazing skyward.

Thinking of nothing past or forward.

The Sun melts into the Earth

As the Moon begins its routine birth.

Peace and serenity assumes their position,

Embraced in this silent condition.

All feelings and emotions are of pleasure.

A wish is cast for this to last forever.

Nothing can end this beautiful bliss,

Except for waking up into the truthful abyss.

Realization that time cannot stand still

Creates sensations of a blood-freezing chill.

This life may not be infinite,

But one thing is definite,

We will begin again into a new life,

Maybe even one without any strife,

But all in all,

The Sun will continue to rise and fall.

 

October 26, 2001

 

  

Deception

 

The people you thought you knew.

The souls that you misconstrue.

                        You pour your heart into them.

They treat you as second-rate.

They use you for their bait.

                        You give your body to protect them.

They snicker at you behind your back.

They drive the nail through your heart’s crack.

You share your soul with them.

You gave them it all, but for what?

For them to take a knife to your throat and cut?

                        You gave your life to her,

                        But things never were what they were.

 

October 29, 2001

 

  

Can You?

 

Can you feel the sweat dripping down your brow?

Can you find yourself asking what, why, how?

Can you feel your blood boil and heart pound?

Can you hear the thump, thump, thump sound?

Can you feel the adrenaline rush in your veins?

Can you use the unearthly energy for the gain?

Can you feel your knees buckle and your feet shake?

Can you take the head, heart, and body aches?

Can you feel what it is like to be loved by me?

Can you wish to smile in bliss for eternity?

Lost Desire

 

It sounds strange, but I envy the dead.

They don’t have to deal with the problems in my head.

My world is crashing down all around

And from the debris, nothing can be found.

Each new pain is like an arrow striking me,

Even though I break it off, the tip stays in me.

 

Burning fire,

Built-up ire,

Dying admire,

Lost desire.

 

Known bodies falling from disease.

Lost loves bringing me to my knees.

Families cut me off, wave me out.

Friends come by only to scream and shout.

I wish for faith and pray for hop.

How is it that I’m unable to cope?

 

Burning fire,

Built-up ire,

Dying admire,

Lost desire.

 

I’ve grown tired of searching for a cure.

The years have only made me more unsure.

When is it over?  When will it end?

When will the wounds finally mend?

I lie down, close my eyes, and begin to weep.

Bliss surging through me as I will finally sleep.

 

Burning fire,

Built-up ire,

Dying admire,

Lost desire.

 

November 9, 2001

 

 

Falling Apart

 

The people you knew

Coming up to you

Putting a bullet in your heart

Tearing you totally apart.

What have you done to deserve this?

What do you do to avoid this?

What do you do?

‘Cause you’ll never be missed.

 

Falling apart.

Tearing up my soul.

Where am I going?

I’ve lost all control.

I beggin’ on my knees,

Come on baby, please

End my misery.

 

I’m walking without reason

Through this cold season

I don’t care where I’m going

I don’t care what I do

I don’t care about much anymore

Now that I’ve lost you.

I’m falling…

I’m falling apart.

 

November 11, 2001

 

  

Grey Skies

 

Coming in through the skies of grey.

Having one of the most terrible days.

Turning the corner and finding you,

It felt like the sunlight breaking through.

Exchanging smiles and hypnotic glances,

Losing any fear to take any chances.

We walk.

We laugh.

We smile.

We gaze.

You hold my hand. I feel warm.

You study my eyes. I feel secure.

All this becomes the calm before the storm.

You drag my heart through unbearable torture.

You take aim to my heart and spear it.

You leave me a withered, broken spirit.

I sit.

I weep.

I mourn.

I stare.

Do you’re friends really care for you all that much?

Would they sacrifice themselves for your life?

Would they take the bullet or even budge?

I would have gone through infinite despair and strife.

I was tucked into my cold death bed,

But you only listened to what they said.

 

The regenerative Sun now has blackened

And grey clouds linger with me every second.

 

November 19, 2001

 

 

Twisted Fate

 

The wispy clouds surround the Moon.

My angel should be back soon.

This was always our favourite time.

To sit and stare at this round mime.

I don’t know where she has gone,

But she has been gone for all so long.

I’m waiting under our engraved tree

For you to return home to me.

 

A messenger delivers me some horrid news.

News that leaves me alone and confused.

Someone has stripped you of your life.

My blood curdles with an everlasting strife.

I swear an oath to seek for vengeance

For this demon and his descendents.

Even if I happen to pass away

My spirit will haunt him everyday.

 

I wander back to our hill.

Under our tree, where time stands still.

I sit here and feel your majestic soul.

It’s all that’s keeping me under control.

If the stars truly control our fate,

Then this is a fate I truly hate.

A tear comes streaming down my face.

I will never forget your beautiful embrace.

I will forever love you, my angel.

 

November 22, 2001

 

 

Desertion

 

I sit, I stare

Up at the midnight air.

I think, I wonder

What it is I ponder?

I wish, I pray

My mind does not go astray.

I'm alone, I'm empty.

Why do they all resent me?

 

November 26, 2001

 

 

Drowning Angel

 

Your life is so torn up.

Your soul is so beat up.

Misery follows your every footstep.

No moments with pleasure,

Only times of torture,

Follow you like the shadows of your soul.

You will always remain in my heart.

 

You’re my drowning Angel.

You’re the beautiful embrace.

You’re my drowning Angel.

You’re the smile on my face.

You’re my drowning Angel.

Hold your breath no more.

You’re my drowning Angel.

I will bring you back to shore.

 

These voices direct you astray.

Don’t listen to what they say.

You will find your soul hidden within.

Let time play out your course,

‘Cause they will feel remorse,

For the pains they have caused your soul.

You will always be a part of my heart.

You will always be a part of my heart.

 

You’re my drowning Angel.

You’re the beautiful embrace.

You’re my drowning Angel.

You’re the smile on my face.

You’re my drowning Angel.

Hold your breath no more.

You’re my drowning Angel.

I will bring you back to shore.

 

My drowning Angel,

The clouds are coming down.

My drowning Angel,

Your heavens will be found.

Broken Wings

 

You’re broken, you’re beaten,

You’re battered, you’re bleedin’.

But who really cares?  Who really gives a damn?

 

You’re worked to the bone

Just to make it on your own.

But who really cares?  Who really gives a damn?

 

I do angel, I truly understand.

 

You’re the fuel to my fire,

You’re my burning desire.

I cannot bear to lose you.

My soul is here to save you.

 

They dragged you from fear to rage to hate.

They’ve taken the food from off your plate.

But do they really care? Do they really give a damn?

 

You’re losing your strength; they’re stealing your soul.

You’ve lost all your faith and gone is your self-control.

But do they really care? Do they really give a damn?

Do they really care?

Do they really give a damn?

 

I do angel, I truly understand.

 

You’re the fuel to my fire,

You’re my burning desire.

I cannot bear to lose you.

My soul is here to save you.

 

The bones will heal.

The wounds will seal.

You will find your soul.

You will be whole.

 

You have the potential within you

To make all your dreams come true.

I believe in you.

You need to believe in you.

Soulless Creature

 

The child of innocence lying at your feet.

You stand there ready to smile, not weep.

The sadistic look comes over your face

Like the Black Angel over the land of grace.

You figure that your problems have been fixed

Now that your child travels down the River Styx.

The bloody dagger drops from your hand.

The body not being stabbed now, but the land.

How does one even go through with this?

Do you get a feeling of ecstasy or bliss?

The child born of the Winter Solstice,

She couldn’t even crawl away from this.

 

One of a disturbed mind.

One of a sickening kind.

Baptized in the sea of fire,

Filled with a revolting ire.

You are the odious preacher,

You are the soulless creature.

 

Now you search for your second helping.

Looking for the weak, the vulnerable being.

You’re craving for the blood, the screams.

This is the ultimate drug of your dreams.

How many more will fall to your illness?

How many lives will fall before the sickness?

Behind you lies the corpse of your loving wife,

Clutching your son—another victim of the strife.

Now you look at daughter’s cold, bloodshot eyes.

A smile emerges as you remember their dying sighs.

 

Merciless being of hate.

Death is what you celebrate.

Baptized in the sea of fire,

Filled with a revolting ire.

You are the odious preacher,

You are the soulless creature.

 

Your eyes can now see

And you are finally free.

Reunited

 

My soul is troubled with pain and anguish,

From harsh reality I can’t distinguish.

I hear a crow calling to take me away,

To a new world, out of mine of dismay.

I sit here waiting for him to come,

As my hands and feet start to go numb.

I could feel the crimson liquid begin to pour,

As I stare at the height I was standing on before.

The fall took only mere seconds to end,

Yet the memories took a lifetime to mend.

My love, I had lost you once before,

But I wish to lose you nevermore.

The angel of my nightmare, demon of my dream.

You made my life into an ecstatic scream.

Only a short travel now keeps us apart

From being together, heart to heart.

I can hear that black bird calling for me

And He will bring us back to forever be.

Saviour

 

The pills lie by my bed.

All these thoughts in my head.

A razor awaits on the sink.

My mind so cluttered, can’t think.

A fall from a cliff won’t take too long.

I can already hear the funeral song.

My friends, my family don’t notice a thing,

Yet my own requiem is all that I sing.

I hide myself behind closed doors.

They’ve never seen the pains and sores.

I dream of the many ways to die…

 

Then I think of your eyes.

Such beauty, they make me strive,

Strive to stay alive.

You’re the only thing keeping me sane,

Keeping me alive.

You mean everything to me.

You are my life.

 

They belittle my thoughts, my desires.

I need to burn in the blazing fires.

(Keep me strong.)

They have walked all over my beliefs.

Freedom of this world would be a great relief.

(Keep my faith.)

They have already crucified my soul,

Why not take my body to make it whole?

(Keep me alive.)

 

You are my strength.

You are my fire.

You are my faith.

You are my desire.

You are my sanity.

You are my life.

Beautiful World

 

A world of mad confusions.

Visions of satisfying delusions.

Games played on the Devil’s field.

Truth stopped by selective shields.

Material items used to find religion.

Temptations drive to foolish decisions.

Churches beg for more money to lie.

Homeless on the cold streets slowly die.

Every life is for sale, new or used.

Greed, Money, and Sex are the gods of new.

A beautiful black, haze-filled sky.

There is very little left to destroy.

 

Open your eyes.

Take a look at your toxic dreams.

Open your ears.

Listen to your Earth’s horrid screams.

Open your mind.

Think of all your irrational deeds.

Open your soul.

Feel the pain of your devastating creed.

A Glance Within
 

She is a soul despaired.

Grey skies of gloom are cast overhead.

Agony controls her world,

And anguish controls her desires.

Her eyes of pain shed no more tears

While her life is still astray.

By her bed she sees a shimmering salvation,

A blade that can get her away from the dreary.

She thinks, ‘What if I were to make a cut

And let the life flow out from me?

Why doesn’t my family see my problems?

Why don’t my friends figure it out?

Why must my life be filled with doubt?’

A glance in the mirror fills her with hope.

She looks at her eyes and realizes

That there is still an angel of life within.

Stranger

 

I’m your living nightmare.

I’m the one who makes you scream.

I’m your greatest scare.

You’ll never wake from this hellish dream.

I’m the end of your confidence.

I’ll bring you to extinction.

I’m the destruction of your existence.

Your pains and joy have no distinction.

I’m the pain bleeding from your heart.

I’m the hell torturing your soul.

I’m the one haunting you from the start.

Soon you’ll be living in the six-foot hole.

 

I’m the one that stands next to you.

I’m the one that mimics every motion.

I’m the one that stares back at you.

I’m the one that feels every emotion.

I’m the one that fills your life with doubt.

I’m the one that has always despised you.

I’m the one that you can’t live without.

‘Cause I’m the one reflected back at you.

Repression

 

A black smile’s painted on my face

Hiding what I feel inside.

My dying heart’s in disgrace

And I don’t know what’s left to hide.

 

Painful memories destroying me,

A wishful past long gone.

Regretful moments haunting me

And I’m still trying to be strong.

 

Crawling back between the rocks,

Dreading another repressing day.

Emotions are under chain and lock

And I’ve lost my life, I’ve lost my way.

 

A soul striving, crying, dying in me,

Sealed away in this sheltered hut.

My shattered eyes trying to see,

But only ‘til I close them shut.

  

 

Gyratory

 

A bloody end to your bloody beginning.

You’re just a fool caught in the Game.

A doubted truth is what you’re admitting

And hoping that it will buy you some fame.

Places of utter pain and undying horror

Anxiously await your hastened arrival.

This Game you started will soon be over

And you won’t even have the chance for survival.

The “life” you’ve built will then soon crumble,

While you try to look for your structured shelter.

The Babylon you’ve created will quickly tumble

And your realm of reality will hastily welter.

You’ll feel the drug of veracity.

You will experience the pains that you give.

Grief and Agony will show their tenacity.

The Life you make is the Life you live.

Angel with Skeletal Wings

 

An angel with skeletal wings

Held up only by rotten strings.

Hands together, praying to your Lord.

Struggling on each and every word.

Hoping the winds will not break

The strings that keep your life at stake.

A soul entangled in the barbed-wire encasement

Of a body in dire need of replacement.

Look down at the ignorant fools who watch you.

Know that if the strings snap, no one will catch you.

Black halos surround your innocent eyes.

Your voice silenced from your cries.

Stop trying to fly away, to fly free.

Open your sleepy eyes and start to see.

You are just an angel, an angel with skeletal wings.

Your life will forever hang by these rotting strings.

Warmth

 

Standing by you again,

I feel the warmth engulfing me.

Memories flood my mind

Of a time that has now passed by.

A sudden shock split us,

That woke the old demons in me,

Left me in my corner brooding

Of ways to stitch the painful wounds.

Regret flows in my veins

And like a toxin, it plagues me.

Each time I passed you by,

Words in heart couldn’t reach my tongue.

Standing by you again,

I saw the same pains in your eyes.

An unknown connection

Seemed to connect us at the heart.

I wonder in my mind

Will our souls stand or fall apart?

 

That warmth still radiates,

It’s what drew me in from the start.

Slain Desire

 

Painful days do haunt me still.

I just can’t seem to sort things out.

Nothing I do is my own will.

I can’t speak—I can’t shout.

 

Nobody to help me as I fall.

Crashing into hard cement.

I don’t want to have it all,

Just the Angel innocent.

 

Tears stock up, await to drop.

My throat clogs up and I can’t swallow.

I reach for an unreachable top.

This path that strays I must follow.

 

Everything I wanted was you

But this dream was brashly maimed.

My heart will always beat for you,

Even though it has been slain.

Better Off Dead

 

Cold and dying all alone.

No place at all to call home.

Using a stone for a pillow.

Pockets bare, empty, hollow.

Nothing at all to worry about.

No cares for bills, for being stout.

 

Better off dead?

            Not yet…

Fucked in the head?

            Not yet…

 

Crawling off to the street corner.

Setting up to meet a donor.

Selling makeshift crucifixes

Of twigs to get your fixes.

Shooting up with whatever

The needle can devour.

 

Better off dead?

            Not yet…

Fucked in the head?

            Not yet…

 

Blood wallowing in disease

For the body to be pleased.

Beautiful mind going to waste

Without hesitation, just haste.

Nothing left to salvage, to save.

There is no one to dig the grave.

 

Better off dead?

            Already…

Fucked in the head?

            Already…

Suicidal Encouragement

 

All your life is

Is a compilment of

Dead cells.

Nothing’s living.

It’s all just

Decaying.

Give the worms

A tasty feast.

Go ahead, jump,

dive,

hang,

slit.

We’re all waiting

For it.

What?  You don’t want to

Anymore?

You were just joking?

You are such a coward.

Here,

Follow my lead.

I’ll show you how.

Torn Apart

 

Timely destructions are near.

They're what tear us apart.

We're split in two by fear.

A stake driven into our heart.

 

We can't cling to the past forever.

Our life — our soul will be severed.

Always remember that you are my cure—

You're what makes my heart endure

This agony called sadness—

This disease called loneliness.

 

Only one person’s left in the mirror.

Where to go — where to start?

And even though I’m not here,

Our love is what your life will impart.

 

We can't cling to the past forever.

Our life — our soul will be severed.

Always remember that you are my cure—

You're what makes my heart endure

This agony called sadness—

This disease called loneliness.

 

It’s like being impaled by a spear,

I know, it’s been done to my heart.

I wish I could wipe away your tear,

But our love will remain timeless art.

Guardian

 

You came to me, not me to you.

An angel everyone wants to touch.

Stalked without even doing much.

Drawing every demon near,

Causing you to tremble in fear.

What is it that they see in you?

Could it be your spirited eyes?

Could it be your innocent sighs?

Could it be your loving face?

Could it be your endless grace?

I don’t know, but I’ll be with you

Each time you begin to cry—

Every time you’re told a lie—

Each time they give you pain—

Every time you feel shame.

You’ll run to me to protect you.

I will stop them all.

I will make them fall.

I will never tell you ‘never’.

I shall protect you forever.

Because sometimes angels need guardians too.

Hooks

 

Ten thousand tiny hooks dig into my skin

Tearing at my soul that’s dying within.

I’m trying to fight this pain,

But it just won’t go away

And everyone around me is driving me insane.

And they keep pulling me in every which way.

I feel like I’m dying

            But I’m still breathing.

I feel like I’m crying

            But I’m not tearing.

 

Maybe a quick requiem will soothe my troubled soul.

Maybe an OD of Valium will keep me in control.

Why do they pester me?

What is it they crave?

I keep pushing my depressive problems down in me,

But it’s not my problems that send me to the grave,

It’s everyone else’s

            That cause me to ache.

These selfish bastards

            Keeping me awake.

 

Why does everyone think I want to share their pains?

Why do they feel as if I care for their losses and gains?

Don’t you get it that I can’t solve your life?

Don’t you understand that I don’t want your strife?

Just lock yourselves up inside your own cells.

Just let me fall asleep in my own nightmarish hells.

Detach your selfish hooks from my bleeding skin

And stop absorbing the half-dead soul lying within.

It’s Time for My Life

 

I’m standing on life’s fragile edge.

Go ahead, push me over the edge.

‘Cuz I don’t care anymore.

This world has become a bore.

Just beware that if you do shove,

I’ll take you and all you love.

No more sympathy seeps from me.

It’s time for me to let you see

That I’m tired of hearing everyone’s cries

While I have to cover-up mine with lies.

I will no longer be the supporting crutch

That’s holding up all the people that I touch.

It’s time for me to live me life

And time to heal all the wounds from the knife.

No one really knows who or what I am,

But I don’t think they really give a damn.

Well it’s my time to show them all,

That what hides behind this stone wall

Is a soul entangled with its own pains—

A soul being choked off by all the chains.

I can’t be waiting for someone to save me

‘Cuz there’s nobody who even knows me.

It’s time to end this strife.

It’s time to start me life.

Above

 

I’m sitting out in the night

Staring out at the stars in sight.

Thinking — wishing someone else is out there

Also engaging into this celestial stare.

 

Where’s the one I know?

Will she ever show?

Where’s the one I love?

Is she up above?

I hope to God she’s near

Because I need her here.

 

I don’t know where you are,

But you are my guiding star.

I’ll always watch this sky.

I will find where you lie.

 

Where’s the one I know?

Will she ever show?

Where’s the one I love?

Is she up above?

I hope to God she’s near

Because I need her here.

 

I will find the angel that I truly love,

Whether I have to search below or above.

Water

 

The flow of Life will be your cause of death,

As the water continues to consume your breath.

Your angelic wings still pull you deeper

As you come faced with the Reaper.

You’re drowning into the cold, desolate water

As I stand here and witness how you falter.

Your spirited eyes slowly turn lifeless,

Yet I feel no sorrow — no sadness.

The pain-filled tears pouring from your scared eyes

Only add to your watery demise.

You reach for my hand to save you from this,

But your betrayals are all I reminisce.

Why should I go out of my way to save

One who’s relentlessly tried digging my grave?

That angelic façade can no longer help you,

As your life-decimating life will be soon through.

Your gasping lungs are running out of room.

This life as you knew it will no longer resume.

Valhalla

 

The darkened seas below my feet.

The blackened skies up above.

An invisible horizon where they meet.

A silence as serene as love.

 

A hazed moon peeking through.

Sporadic bolts breaking sky.

Nothing but an onyx view,

As light seems to shy.

 

Whispering winds give no sound,

But their words welcome me home.

No other soul can be found,

Yet I am no longer alone.

Spirit’s Journeys

 

So many frightened beings dying in the shadows,

As the starved mouth of death pleasingly swallows.

These victims fall to Time’s ill-fated burdens

And the River of Life leaves behind dried-up endurance.

There’s no escape and no chance left for survival,

As Life bows before its everlasting rival.

As does the Lady Moon forever wax and wane,

This old life will end only to live once again.

The seed of the dead plant starts its new life

To grow even more before embracing the Scythe.

This spiritual cycle goes on evermore,

Until the enlightened spirit can grow no more.

Once the spirit’s countless journeys are complete,

The aged soul can rest without ever facing defeat.

Angel of Sin

 

Beauty with the halo and the devilled horns.

Marked by the Beast and scarred by the crown of thorns.

Swimming in the world of her dreamy mind.

Wanting to help every injured spirit she can find.

Indulging into wild, savoury temptations

Of Ecstasy’s quick, delightful sensations.

Lusty blood flows in her ravenous veins

With a compassionate heart in the back lanes.

Rooted into a darkened, shadowy Hell,

While Heaven’s the place where her sweet branches dwell.

A sultry siren that nobody can control.

Her sexy body hiding a sensuous soul.

 

After forever searching around

The deceptive labyrinth within,

My guild — my love has at last been found

In the form of this angel…of sin.

Start Anew

 

Head down,

Resting,

Forgetting.

Memories of pain

Play over again

And again.

Wanting to—

To start anew—

To not remember you.

 

Lying here

Letting Grief’s scavengers

Pick at my bones.

A sombre song

Plays over and over

And over

In my head.

 

Take away…

Take away my troubles—

My sadness.

Make me forget

My life with her.

Let me start anew.
