I won't be home for Christmas

I won’t be home for Christmas,
just say a prayer for me,
that this thousand miles between us,
will not forever be.

No gleaming frosty winter,
no snowflakes in the air.
But there’s a chance of fireworks,
and rockets here or there.

I won’t...

Unwanted Valentines

Your heart is broken, so is mine;
we’re two unwanted valentines.
Let’s see how our lives combine,
and what our fractured hearts design.

I’m a piece of the puzzle that won’t fit in,
I’m an out-of-tune song no one will sing,
a corroded old...

ADHD (It sucks to be me)

If you ask what most vexes me,
I’d say it’s my ADHD.
For my life is confusion, non-stop aggravation,
and most of all it sucks to be me.

At times my brain’s in stagnation,
sometimes in conflagration.
But there’s never a moment, where I’m not...

The Murderer and the Harlot (Prison of Ice)

I am a scoundrel,
you are a wretch.
You’ve followed me here,
to this dark filthy trench.

I am a liar,
you are a slave.
We both languor on,
with one foot in the grave.

I am a killer,
you are a whore.
But what makes my sin,
more...

I have many faces

I'm a man of many faces,
a different mask each day.
While I'm jovial the surface,
beneath I stay the same.

Sometimes I smile, sometimes I frown;
I'll still be bright and chic.
But deep below I'm always down;
I'm sullen, dull and bleak.

The ballad of Kyle

Listen here Kyle:
this country is wild,
the world far and wide knows your name.
I would throw off my fame,
and get a passport today,
then start a new life far, far away.

…maybe even try changing your name.

One night in Wisconsin,
a city...

Dream upon a star

Watch the midnight summer sky,
As comets dance about.
Listen as the crickets sing,
To celestial ears around.

See with young aspiring eyes,
The galaxies afar.
Take a walk on Saturn's rings,
And dream upon a...

That one light

Once upon a cold dark evening,
The moon and stars were brightly shining,
I laid upon the cold damp earth,
On frozen, frosty grass reclining.

 
I gazed upon the winter sky,
Lifting up my weary eyes,
Upon the vast eternal expanse,
Watching...

Does the pain just melt away

Does the pain just melt away,
when all your bruises fade,
or do the thoughts and dreams that stay,
still haunt you in the shade?

Does the pain just melt away,
when all your scars have gone,
or does it linger every day,
while months and...

Meet me by a crystalline stream

Standing by a crystalline stream:
all sorrows forgotten, like a faded-out dream.
The water is fresh, the air is clean,
high in the mountains, so tranquil… so pristine.

Hear the wind between the bamboo;
smell the sweet jasmines in the breeze...

Lonely oak upon a hill

Oh lonely oak upon a hill:
sacred place where time stands still.
Faithful to the moon and sun,
throughout the ages shining on!

Oh ancient oak upon a hill,
what great stories can you tell?
To men and beasts that come and go,
what great...

As far as comets fly

Comets soar across the sky,
Above a sea of stars.
The constellations light their way,
Far beyond the dark.

Burning flames of blue and white,
Ignite their celestial race,
While we who dwell beneath the sky,
Stare blankly into space.

Where...

One for the ashes

Zeus went down to Hades’ moat,
and asked old Charon in his boat,
to row him through the murky Styx,
that he with Hades a meeting fix.

Zeus asked Charon for the price,
to bury poor Hera who met her demise.
Six gold coins... that was the cost,...

Paratroopers

The aircraft rumbled as the engines roared loud:

metallic stallions in the fleecy white clouds.

The rickety framework, squeaking and groaning,

as armored men sat, sweating and waiting.



Suddenly the ramp swung open,

as the...

Patience wins the game

Write your dreams upon a sheet,
And tie it to a kite.
Let it sail along the wind,
Into a starless night.
As the decades come and pass,
You'll find them once again.
Enshrined within the mighty clouds,
They'll fall down with the rain.

Keep...

I shall go the way I came

When the curtain rolls down,
On this fleeting life of mine,
And all that I am,
Is a memory passing by...
What will people think of me,
And what will be my legacy?

Will I see a pearly gate,
Or a boat rocked in the gale?
Will my empty heart...
