A simple rhyme

A simple little rhyme
to get you through the day
It matters not its meaning
For soon it flies away

watch your words so soft
As they whisper through your mind
Look so deep within
and enjoy all you may find

For walking down the path
The willows branches hang
Listen ever softly
For the times the bell rang

Over the hedges
Accross the tattered street
Quickly quickly, run away
carried by your feet.

fly

Follow me down the rabbit hole
No telling how far i'll go
Desperate? i might be
But you'll never know

I'll cut these ties without hesitation
Break my way through the pain
Do you really care?
why? In the end it's all the same

Show me why i should walk again
You cant, because its all a lie
Let go! It's not to late
To spread your wings and fly

Youth

When i wore a younger man's heart
My smile wavered at each passing glance
Now that maturity has filled my coat
I'll tip my hat and ask you to dance

When I walked a path long forgotten now
I had no courage to step into the light
But now that age has filled my gut
I'll step forward and ask you out tonight

When time seemed so abundant
I told myself always "someday"
now that the hours grow dim
It seems the posibilities have flown away

Cant i go back?
to when my heart was so young
When courage was missing
and fear filled my lung?

Can't i go back
To when time stretched so far
When i knew where to find you
As i followed your star?

No, Time is now passed
This is the truth
Passed are the day's
And the time of my youth.

bank or bust

how many licks does it get to the tootsie filled center of my heart?
I'll show you my soul if you'll lend me your ear
hold on tight
There's nothing to fear

How many rainbows till you find the pot of gold?
Given time anyone can find answers they trust
But it takes a true genius
to gamble their souls and go for broke or bust.

Modern day Gunslinger

A modern day Gunslinger
Stranger than Fiction
.7MM loaded
Cocked, firing off diction

Bow your head
With respect i should be treated
For with my dictionary of ammunition
Never can i be defeated

beware my wrath
Or i'll put your name to page
Destroy you in literature
Then you'll Know my rage

But alas
I am a humble soul
Words at my disposal
My temper under constant control.

love me not

If I called your name tonight
would you grace me with your light?
If darkness was my name
Would you love me just the same?

I'd walk this road for you
In a light of ancient hue
For all the pain is bright
And i've no will left to fight

This is my last message
Of love and of trust
Never one of longing
Never one of lust

I love you, though you love me not.

A rose of shadow

A rose like darkness
Blooms in the night
Casting its shadows
Blotting out the light

Dreams are in chaos
My life thrown in hate
Drowning in shadows
Suffocating in fate

Time stretches on
And the shadows consume
A hate filled flower
In darkness does bloom

died

I don't feel lucky to love you
I feel i've lost my edge
My heart is dull with sorrow
lost in my honored pledge

Why don't you let me die?
When words just arent enough
Stop letting me pretend to smile
Stop letting me act tough

Just let it go
I know you want to
Let me fall
Its all you can do

Watch me as i walk away
Though I could never leave your side
Watch me as i fall away
I may as well have died

let go

Have you ever loved some one?
So much you've lost control?
Threads of life escape your grasp
Reality takes its toll

I've kept on fighting with all my heart
To hold you one last time
But if you can't say you want me
I'll slowly lose my shine

its so hard to hold onto you
When you always push away
And if you've always wished to leave
Why do you always ask me to stay?

Its midnight in my dreams
And i've cried a few tears
I've walked this path forever
And faced each of my million fears

Tonights love is tomorows Loss

Born in the night
With no one to love
Holding my heart
Like a dieing dove

Lost in a dream
Never to weep
Lost in the silence
My counsel to keep

Call on me darling
I'll rush to your side
Deep in your soul
My shadows hide

Be of the light
And know I know hell
From heaven above
To fire I fell

Cast in the shadows
To walk on the land
Lost to my dreams
My sorrow on hand

Dream for me
For my nights are all black
My eyes know bloodshed
My beaten heart in a sac

Draw on my breath
And know my true name
I'll walk by your side
Never in need of fame

Known by many
Remembered by few
Spreading my light
Is all i may do

Thus i walk
This path of pain
My mind is in shambles
No longer quite sane

Give me my chance
A smile and wink
The insanities there
It's closer than you think

Sin

Time is a fragment of my heart
That i will never let go
I hold on so very tight
I knew you'd never know

I've loved you so completely
It just seems so unfair
Force my grip to loosen
Push me with your stare

Oh so cold right now
How the nights drag away
My soul is chilled to ice
Now just say what you want to say

Not angry
Just sad and so alone
My sins are many
And i know i can't atone

Wash your hands of me
I know thats what you'll do
For my greatest sin
is being unable to stop loving you.

Why not

Ancient streams of wisdom
Leading me to glee
Finding truth in folly
As reality slips from me

So as I sit and consider
to spread my wings and fly
Limited in action
Now that i've asked "why"

To pose that simple question
our faces grow red and hot
The answer is quite simply
Why? well why the hell not?
