When Hell is closing in

I never meant to become
My own worst enemy
Sometimes it feels like I'm running around in circles
A dog chasing after its own tail
With nothing stopping me
Or standing in my way
Point taken let’s not make any more mistakes
When hell is...

The Treasures of Life

The treasures of life cost nothing but time and focus.
It is not a path to a perfect life
Noor a path to a rich and prosperity life. It is an enlightened path
To knowledge and wisdom
A spiritual connection to our creation
But it is the...

The Thirst

In the midst of confusion
The thirst grows stronger
With every waking moment
My mind grows weary
And turns fragment
And turns the images into nightmares
Questioning myself
How long will this last
Without feeding on the nectar of the gods
...

The sins of the father

Are we over
The sins of the father
I declare this to be my creed
A sacrifice is needed
Now give yourself to me
Allow me to be your only desire
Here comes the guilty
To drown in hells fire
Condemned by the righteous ones.
And cursed forever....

The Point Of Origin

The Illusion has been cast before me.
In a single particle blast.
A new life has been born.
Brought in existence
An unexplainable transformation occurs
The life gains conciseness of its surrounding
As it breaths air for the first time in its...

The Moment

Lying and gazing
Into a cloudless sky
On the white sand beaches
Of home
I have just watched day turn to night
And now a full moon
Illuminates the sky
The nocturnal creatures
Have awakened
And the tides have changed
The nocturnal creatures...

The Mask

I cannot deny the things I've seen in my young life

 Nor can I forget the things I've done
Nor do I try
Passion fuels the rage that flows within the hearty of men.
A poetic balance of light and dark.
My aspiration for the best of me.
Unknown...

The Gift

In the event I wasn't born this way
I was created
This defiantly wasn't a mistake
I was chosen to live this life
A life some may call an abomination
It wasn't definitely an unholy transformation.
But one that wasn't rejected.
It became my...

The Creative Zone

As the sounds of time
Resets itself.
I drift within a
Different dimension.
A dimension of multiple variables
And alternate realities.
My thoughts collide
In cataclysmic connection
Often overloading me
With creative thoughts
And...

The Ascent

My head briefly graces the surface of the wake
As I reach to control every breath I take
My mental focus has surpassed my imagination
With every crashing wave I am weightless
As I surrender to the sea
With a crashing wave I emerge in the wake

Now that the stranger has come

We have reached the turning point.
And the story has been told.
Unfortunately, the page has to be turned.
With the best judgement that I can make
It was too soon to close the gate.
Now that the stranger has come.
The atmosphere has changed.

Now that the Darkness Calls

Looking deep inside
Is where I swallowed my pride?
I'm drowning inside of my own past
Misery is my friend
I'm so glad to see to see you again
I'm afraid t close my eyes at night
Because this life is so over whelming for me
Then I stop and...

Nature at its Best

It’s amazing to watch the great mavericks run the prairie
And graze on the fresh greenery of spring
Exposed but free
I just can't snap enough pictures quick enough
To please my vision.
Capturing the prairie dogs
Popping up out of their holes...

My Reality

I've walked a mile in the coldest nights of winter
And on the hottest days of summer
I've looked into the future
And tasted from a life I could never have
While sleep on concrete
Broke, and broken
Not really ready to expose the world to the...

My Immortal Salvation

Take your time my friend
These chains won't hold me forever
Soon you'll learn
Eternity isn't your friend
You’re trapped inside of an illusion
Amongst all of the chaos and confusion
You believe
That you defeated me
Trying to stop

In The Event of Demise 2

I measured my thought process
And calculated my life expectancy
Never reaching a level of wealth
And fortune
But my life has been put on display
For others amusement
Wanting to teach me a lesson
About life and power
Within a glimpse of an...

I enjoy you

I live just to embrace you
I enjoy the way you reposition
Yourself in the midst of the chaos
Your charm eases the tension and pressure of daily life
Your touch and beauty bring me to Aw
On a daily basis.
I enjoy this journey with you
We...

Crazy little games we play

I live my life just below the wake
At the moment right before the point breaks
I can always relate to the choices
We half to make
But how long will it take
For you to realize
No one will control my fate
These crazy little games we play
And...

Can you catch us all

The aftermath is absolution
A brazing end to a chaotic end
The helpless is hopeless as the
Desperation sets in
We begin to fix what
Is broken
As we spare the lives of the fallen
The battlefield is set
The only thing to change
Is the time...

Breaking down the walls

I'm going to surrender to the light.
There will be no more holding back.
I believe I’m better off this way.
I've shed many tears over the years.
Searching for the truth that I find in you.
Taken by your smile.
What an untimely surprise

Behold the Writer

So much has been lost to time.
But only in time
Is everything remembered?
A picture can be painted.
Or drawn.
A script can be written or spoken.
But the depth to their meaning
And understanding
Can be lost in translation.
But what the...

A Fool I Have Become

Elevated to a level of desire
I thought we would ever meet
Your smile is branded into my mind
Your voice warms my heart
And your touch strengthens
Every beat
A Fool I Have Become
Just a whisper of my name
Flutters my heart
And with every...

THE ENCOUNTER

It was during the
Lunar Eclipse when
The meteor shower
Began
It was also the time
Of the first sitting
The local television
Show recorded the
Entire thing
We all watched as the
Ships entered
The earth’s atmosphere

 On the back of the...

I AM A DEMON KNIGHT

For thousands of
Years I have
Drifted through
Time and space
I have literally seen
The world change
I have seen generations
Of men and woman
Come and go
In this time my wealth
Has grown
And my mansion
Is filled with precious
Artifacts...

The spirt of the night

The spirt of the night
Sits high up
Above the city
With an eagles view
Of the souls that
Dwell within the
Streets
But
On this one
Particular night
The spirt
Witnesses a robbery
In progress
Down in a
Alley way along side
Of the...

THE LADY IN THE MOUTAIN

Just along the shadows of
The great mountain
Lies an old mansion
The woman sits
Alone, and she
Calls the place her
Home
None could resist
Her beauty
None could resist
Her gaze
None could resist
Her wrath
None could resist

THE HORSEMAN

When the horseman enters
The forest he quickly
Turns an old passage way
It has been centuries
Since the passage way
Had been used by man
But the horseman was
On a mission
He had to deliver
A message to
The town’s people
On the other...

THE DESTROYER

It was a warm
Summers eve
When the destroyer
Docked off shore
Of what is known
As Puerto Rico
The sky was
Darkening in the distance
A storm was brewing
And on the move fast
You could see all
Of the men
Fighting the high sails
As they...

RANDOM

The day turns
To nigh quickly
I'm spared
Or Blessed
May be
Even cursed
I am
Not sure
The only thing

 Know
I made it
Through another
Day
No day
Is the same
Each one
Different
In it's
Own way
But the
Majority of it
Repeats...

The Metamorphosis is Complete

My walk
Is not a walk
Of shame
But
A walk of
Understanding
The acceptance of
An experience
That is continuously
Transitioning
And evolving
Every day I open
My eyes
I am
In a constant
Reminder
That I am
Not in
Control as much
As...
