Effortlessly

Remember as the clock slows a tick
Remember the silence, as the walls are thick
Forget all the truth that you once learned
Forget your past, the pictures now burned

Cast it away into the depths of hell
Cast it away, and not a living soul tell
Did you imagine, that we would be here?
Did you imagine, all that you might fear?

Here is the moment to truly test yourself
Here is the moment, the memories on the shelf
I am but one man, in a sea of so much hate
I am but one man, i battle against the tides of fate

Remember me, As i fall away
Forget the past, as i lived my way
Cast away all that you fear
Did you imagine we would ever be near?
Here is the moment to be as one
I am but one man, from the past i run

Effortlessly, into the distance.

the rhyme

Walking through the fields
Holding hands so tight
These dreams are of tomorrow
As they fade into the night

These words, Spoken tomorrow
So many things we can not know
The times are filled with shadow
And places we can not go

Each step along the way
Is a building filled with time
Each stone within its structure
Sings an ancient rhyme

'walk down the stepping stones
gently come to me
Walk down the stepping stones
beauty you will see.

Hollow now, down the way
These words I will sing
Hollow now, is the day
black gems upon the ring'

Shattered

Shattered darkness
And broken dreams
The light within
More then it seems

Break the chaos
And know the mold
Step up to the challenge
Make yourself bold

One last chance
Is all that I ask
To become a man
And complete this task

Stronger than darkness
Weaker than light
Love you completely
With all of my might.

Love?

The beat of my heart quickens
The pace of by breath deepens
Each moment frozen in place
Dragging forever onward in my heart

The sight touches my vision
A memory more true than life
A sight I can not forget
The moment I saw you

The touch is electric
Like a pulse through my veins
Each moment an adventure
Things change, but stay the same

Slave to my art

A slave like need
An addiction i feed
To free these words
Into the sky like birds

Without judgment I write my lines
Enslaving words to my ill designs
Though daily they seek to be free
The words will never escape me

But are they slaves or am I?
For with these words, i do fly
But a need for them, there is no doubt
For were they gone, I could not shout

These feelings, so complicated and true
All the things in this world i can not do
I write them, burned upon the page
Speaking wisdoms beyond my age

So here is the rub which i know
These words just wont let me go
I will write them until the day i die
Else they will never let me fly.

Freedom of will

When one step becomes two
I'll shed myself of you
When three steps becomes four
My feet will hit the floor

When the clock turns from ten
We'll be together once again
When the big hand lands on twelve
Deeper into love we will delve

Did time so ever perfectly flow
Perhaps then I would let you go
But as it stands time stands still
Letting you go is against my will

So ever i hold on to you
There is nothing left to do
If each moment i had my way
"you are free" my words would say

But as it is my wills not free
So ever are you bound to me
But someday now it may be so
That i may turn and let you go

A dance

Each thread a silver hue
Images of love for you
Each moment defined in gold
A man so humble could be so bold

Though I walk in the light of love
Remember always you are my dove
Cast away each moment of doubt
You my darling i can not live without

Each line is so perfectly read
Each moment clear in my head
Call my name, i'll hold you near
Love's eternal, have no fear

Darling, come dance with me
Come dance, and you will see
Each moment, perfect and true
As I stroll and dance with you

Let me Be

I breath in the scent of night
Always dreaming of the light
Every tender touch and kiss
Sends my being to eternal bliss

Each moment seems so eternally strong
That I cant forget that beautiful song
Were I a bird with feathered wings
I would give way to the heart that sings

Grant me one wish I pray of you
Take my love, never say we're through
Such is the one fear I know
The fear that someday i must let you go

Please do not ask it of me
Just smile and let me be

Cloudlike Dream

Dreams are like clouds
They drift upon the wind
Day's are like raindrops
They pile up so fast

Can I take them slow?
How long will I last?
the hours are like mountains
So hard to make it through

But if I can sift through the moments
I'll find just what I'll do
Yes, dreams are so fragile
Like a priceless vase

But if you'll lend me courage
All my dreams i'll face
One step at a time
and someday you'll be mine.

A chance to live

Despite all these things
The rage wells inside
These feels are so real
They're to intense to hide

So let me let them out
Give me one moment of life
To experience this passion
To know that not all is strife

Every moment,
Rages inside
I cant hold on
Though i must confide

Give me a moment
I'll show my my soul
Let the fire burn brighter
Let it rage beyond control

Now im alive
Dont you see my time
Just let the flame burn down
I'll be just fine

Serenity

Like a cool breeze upon your face
The grassy hill spreads before you
Serenity flows like a river to calm your soul.

Flow

Eagles fly and flowers wilt
All our troubles, nothing built
To find the things we fear
And draw them ever near

Despite the horrors we face
Adrenalin wont win this race
We run so far, urgency we fake
Drawing others into frantic wake

Pull them all quietly along
Whilst singing this urgent song
Can the day's become our friend
Or will this flow into our end

To flame

Upon the wind I cast my name
Give thought to word
Give word to Flame.

Despite it all I remain the same
I shall lose myself
Within this Game.

Times a curse that pulls be down
Though my face does smile
My soul does frown

And now my mind is one of doom
For my heart is full
There is no room

Fill my life with things I've lost
The times have changed
Lines have been crossed

I cast away my name
Given it much thought
And cast my name to flame

It burns away to the finest ash
The name is lost in a poetic flash.

The leaf

So deep,
A leaf upon the wind
Falling from the branch
Into the puddles below

Life and Limb

As i see myself through this mirror
As i shatter my own doubt
As I look beyond my fear
I see feelings my soul is without

Against all odds I do stand firm
Here is the endless path i trudge
Though temptations come at me
I know my stance, I will not budge

There are sins in this world which tempt
these are things that might push me astray
Despite all that comes before me, however
I walk with confidence and keep my way

I am but one man on this earth
One man with a soul of black
Though without any skills
I Possess the nack

So i walk the world
Doing my best
Putting my soul
up to this test

I may come out ahead
Though my odds are grim
But what is a man
without risking life and limb?

In death

As the dreams fill us with light
I'll pass away my chance at life
As i slowly lose my will to fight
I'll resign myself to endless strife

Though the path is ever long
Though time keeps passing by
I'll try my hardest to stay strong
Through it all I will not die

Here is my challenge to you
Here is the test i cry
Show me all I might do
And leave my heart to die

Destined

I walk this world alone
Not a soul with whom to speak
I walk the path I'm shown
Though my mind is ever meek.

Has loves touch ever been mine?
As the petals wilt and die
Will i get my chance to shine?
Or in failure will I fall from the sky.

Darkness, its almost kin to me
These pains are so real
Everyone can see
That numbness is what I feel

Halfway(re-done)

(recently reread this and decided to change a few things)
I woke up, Everything was fine
Looked over, You were not there
No sign of your presence, not a single strand of hair.

A little worried, Decided to call, Another man picked up
Thats the last I recall.

I woke up, 3 weeks later, Halfway to hell
with no indicator of what t I had seen
or what I had done.
Where i had been, or why i had run.

But the real fear I had
Was not where I would go
But if I had hurt you
Because I just didn't know

So if you're alive
I pray that you're well
As my soul drifts slowly

Resignation

I resign myself to thee
Oh demon of my soul
Fingers laid in darkness
The strings of my control

Now I've lost my hope
As daybreak turns to night
As shadows fill my heart
As darkness snuffs out light


Without love i walk the earth
Without joy I stride this land
My actions hold no meaning
My castle's made of sand

Despite the yearning of my heart
The tides they always win
My fortress will slowly wash away
And my mind will fill with sin

I resign myself to darkness
I step away from light
Now cast away my struggles
Now shelve my will to fight

Can you blame me?
For these actions I now take?
Can you hold me responsible?
With all that's left at stake?

I am but a demon
A sinner in human skin
No angelic light inside me
Not a scrap of good within

This is my resignation
I shall never love again
This is my white flag
Pain, it is you who did win.

Lost in rage

I look at the mirror
Pain fills my sight
The image within
Nothing but blight

Forget my intentions
Fuck this foul mood
Lost in this hatred
Whilst i sit and brood

Why is my image
So tainted in black?
Showing the hatred
The good that I lack?

Forget the simple things
I want to experience nirvana
But I cant, for i sit in this inferno
Cant breath within this sauna

Lose myself to chaos
This image is so fake
Though the porcelain is strong
The paint starts to flake

The image within
Dark and twisted
Sometimes i wish
That i never existed

But within me there is a curse
The pain that i'll always see
That someday i'll be trapped
But everday i'll always be me

I cant escape
This pain is so real
I'll never remember
How joy used to feel

Im lost
Lost in rage
Expressing thoughts
Upon the written page

Across these windswept paths
I walk to see the light of day
Across the daring streets
Ever seeking my own way

Do the shadows have a name?
Or do i live in light
Do reflections hold meaning
Within my fading sight?

Lost, within this realm
To ever walk alone
Drag me from this horror
And gently take me home

One dream For many

One dream for many
Seems simple I know
Forever to hold you
Never to let you go

This dream takes my soul
I know it seems brash
I lose my control
Do not think me as rash

If one moment did fade
Silently into dawn
Holding so close
Over your memories i fawn

Hear me out
Don't bring me to screams
The love that i feel
Runs deeper than it seems

One dream for many
Crazy i know
To hold on so tight
That you cannot let go

To live such a dream
To hold it so near
Is to know your own limits
To know the heart of your fear

One dream for many
I know I'm not well
But you are my darling
And in love I fell

One path

Though I walk through this valley
Through the shadow and spite
Though I know only horror
My eyes see the light


Faith in a feeling
Higher than I
Wind through my feathers
I know I can fly

Step with me now
Through the valley of death
I'll protect your virtue
To my very last breath

And though there is sorrow
In the words we must hear
Life holds no meaning
If it is lived only in fear

There is one choice
Brave the fiery wrath
There is a way
If you walk the one path.
