The Escapist

The past is gone...
Eludes all that try to ensnare
and capture it
Their caged minds cannot hold
memories sold
Fleet of foot and unwavering
Resistant to our constraints
and complaints
The future is coming
and is more apt
for your warm embraces ...

Drink From Your Tears

Let me savior the drops of your purified pain,
from the torrents of tears and fears.
Each drop another reminder of my wrongs
A lifeline oozing ceaselessly, and endlessly
draining you of existence.
I drink and feel all
I can never stop,
until I am...

God Talk #5

God?”
“Yes Joseph. I am here
and you are dear.
What can I do, but to lend an ear.”
“It’s started again and I fear,
things will get queer out there!”
“What do you mean
and don’t be so keen!
I want to know what you have seen?”
“Every four years...

Evil Eyes

Hollow out my eyes,
fill them with their screams,
of tortured dreams
The horrors of mankind
to blind the most kind.
Sew my eyes shut!
cruelty, torture, murder
All this blight,
shall never be seen
by childrens’ holy sight
I will clench my teeth
and...

The Mistress of Life

She is quite good.
A nibble here,
a small bite there.
Never over indulges
but saviors.
A delicacy followed
with a...

Death Provides

I am Death
I hunger for Life
Seasoned by Time
Lost by Hope
Ravaged by Fear
I thirst for need
I will always feed!

Let me take you,
in my arms
I bring you,
my Touch
Rapture of the Gods
To thee from me
Eternity our Destiny
All that could...

Two Arms and Two Legs and One Head

I said to the man
that I am,
"What have you done?"
"Where have you gone?"
I replied with a deep sigh,
for truth doth not lie.
"I was born with just two arms
and two legs and one head;
and I fear that is all I shall have
when I am dead."
I did not...

The Storm

The Storm within
Feeds on many a thing
A preference for sin
Pick one or the other
Not good?
Try another
A platter of seven
A feast fallen from
The Tree of...

Soul Unbound

I buried my Soul,
Where it could never be found.
Under layers fortified.
Sin, Pride, Envy, Anger, Jealousy
All I deemed justified.
When the human husk gave way,
There was my Soul unbound.
Untarnished and forever free.
With eyes rendered blind,
I...

Why Did God Cry?

Hallowed Eyes
Cast downward
From grey skies

Tears like rain
Washed away
All the pain

Why did God cry?

Gave us Life
Garden homeward
With no strife

"Try one little taste"
Serpent did say
We did not hesitate

Why did God...

Twits

The little twits
They ingratiate
To a particular vice
Deftly navigate
Pick one
Not nice
Try another
Till its done
The bastards will never die
They live on
forever more
Ceaseless hunger to...

Rise

Raise your eyes to the skies.
And ask why?
Why can I not be,
Where I can see?
Let it go.
What holds
You know.
Shed it all
And fly.
Raise your eyes to the skies.
And never ask...

Old Man

No good deed goes unpunished.", said the old man as he laid down for his final rest.
Kindness rewarded with malice.
He understood and welcomed peace to his heart.
Shuttered his eyes and warmed his face with a...

Song birds call
I hear them all
Late at night
All take flight
Nothing matters
Except sound
Blissfully found
That penetrates

My Eyes

See the World through my eyes
Unfiltered like clear blue skies
No dogma, rhetoric or lies
See the pain, the hurt
and hear their cries
Above ground they abound
Below ground hear no sound
They dance upon your grave
Your soul did forever save
Six...

The Wonder of It All

The Wonder of it all
For one so small
Infinite Heaven filled with stars
An ocean view
vast and true
I have seen Life and Death
Shed tears of joy and sadness
Beautiful sunrises and sunsets
Ecstasy and agony
Light or Darkness
Whatever it may be...

I Stood

I stood with them and spoke
Carefully maneuvering my words
Not to offend nor comprehend
They were people that spoke of greed
Their lips curled in an impish grin
Full of sin and of all that was within
They spoke of want and not of need
I could...

The Trinity

Three came in
To save us from sin.
What was done,
To his only Son?

Now you see,
What can never be.
To seek our treasure,
We bathed in pleasure.

We soaked our lips
In rich red blood.
Filled ourselves on
the human...

I Dream

I dreamed the world passed me by
I did not cry but sigh
Not in sadness but in gladness
I never wanted to change with the time
I only wanted to be left behind
In my world created for me
Is where I will always be free
Not to follow another's path...

When Sleeps Falls

When sleep falls upon you,
and you lay down to rest.
Your weary mind put to the test.
You cleanse the day's residue,
know that many a heart
think of you and wish you well.
Never will you feel torn apart
from loved ones wherever dwell.
May your...

Our Truth

The undeniable Truth.
We all die on Journeys,
not yet completed.
One last unseen sunset,
a smile from a loved one's lips.
A touch from a small hand.
A tear shed for a friend.
As the spade and dirt pay tribute,
they cover our regrets.
The Journey...

Clarity

Moments of clarity,
and endless serenity
eyes pierce infinity
God’s gift of vision,
my only provision
gaze and see all,
beauty to enthrall
time befriends me,
“Stay and be happy!”
Wonder of the Ages!
Welcome to Eternity!

I Grow

I grow old and no longer bold
I am happy to be alive
I ache and sometimes quake
I am happy to be alive
I forget and have much regret
I am happy to be alive
I walk but have no energy to talk
I am happy to be alive
I am late because I hesitate
I am...
