Be hopeful, you say
Love will come, come what may
Keep your chin up, take it in stride
Yet for all your wisdom,
You’re the first to hide
What is it that makes us
So willing to Lie?
Why do we steer others to crash
When we discover we cannot fly?
Those who pretend to be so wise
Are merely hiding behind another’s eyes
You cannot live by another’s words
Or in seeking your own path
You will succumb to their terms.

My muse has left me; my passion is gone.
The words will not come, my thoughts suffocate
Under the weight of my brain’s stagnation
My rhymes have gone stale, my words lackluster
It should not affect me so, this dark thought
I cannot remember how to be sad,
How to be happy, I fear I’ve gone mad
It cannot be cured, this absence of hope.
Apathy is indeed a fearsome fate
For a poet, more so than most can know
Worse even than succumbing to my Hate
The death of my art deals a Mighty blow.

Is it wrong of me
To rejoice, smile and perform?
Shall I be morose?
From sorrow sprang grace
This was not my victory
Who, then, shall be glad?
Is it arrogance,
This feeling that drives me on?
Or something less vile?
Humble, I have been
But today, pride-stained am I
My ego bellows
A lion is pride
A lamb is humility
And I merely grass.

All my life I have believed
In the spirit of my kin
Those special souls that get me through
Who know the places Ive been
I thought I never would be hurt
By ones I held so close
But as it happens I was wrong
About the path they chose
Was letting them in all a mistake?
Have I lived my life in folly?
Or am I doomed to walk alone
In a life of melancholy?
I wish and I want to know how to forgive
The betrayals that I have known
But now, I think, Ive been hurt too much
My heart is set in stone
Will I ever trust so surely again
Having Faith for no reason
I feel like an atheist coming to face God
And He is charging me with Treason
Was all of this somehow my doing?
Am I the one to blame?
I feel so wronged and so wrong
My life has gone insane
So here I sit in my empty soul
Lost and asking why
I cry and shiver from the cold
And wonder how to Die.

Sleep has forsaken me; rest will not come.
The Owl’s laughter mocks ev’ry waking night.
Dreams evade me, I know not where they run.
Ominous clouds shelter the Moon’s dimmed Light.
Vague to me now is a respite’s embrace
Foreign is the Concept of closed lashes
Sun and Stars blend, bleeding tears stain my face
A lonely bed calls, bereft of passion
Such endless Fatigue! Will it drive me Mad?
I mumble nonsense and see what’s not there
My Doom seems imminent and ironclad
When my demise arrives, will No one care?
Fully I believe that this is my End
Half-crazed and sleepless, my Soul wholly spent.

Who can say what wonders may come today?
Who can tell what sorrows may penetrate
The guarded borders of my very mind?
Who knows what will happen in untold time?
What can be said of Future’s Fickle ways?
What will be read when this Message goes astray?
Only the Fates may know what can be told
Until such a time comes, I must be bold
Losing my Love was akin to a song
A haunting Melody, piercing my soul
Will time mend the chasm yawning ‘cross my heart?
The answer comes, in time. Till then I hurt
It cannot be known, what morrow days hold
Be they weeks filled with torment, or simply
Months so stale they grow hills of moss and mold
I cannot know, so why then do I Rant?
My thoughts do stray to images of Pain
My words seem clogged with cold and Stifling Rain
Best that I should thing of Happier things
But I’m filled with the longing Loneliness
That Loss of Love Brings.

Could you begin to fathom the depths of your vanity?
No.
You look for naught save what serves only mighty you.
You ask for all and despise those who rightly outshine you.
You command the world and demand that all should like you.
When that day comes and your eyes are opened
When you see and understand why you’ve been left Alone
When everyone has judged you and moved on with Life
Then
I hope I am present, That I may watch you weep.

Magic exists in this world, I am sure
It lives and breathes in the hearts of the pure
The friendships that link and the ties that bind
Are the greatest gifts one can ever find
A bond so strong it cannot be explained
A connection so true it cannot be feigned
Magic is not something flashy and bright
Its a friend you can stay up with and talk to all night
Magic is a part of every living thing
Its the special feeling that lets your soul sing
Its not always obvious or easy to see
But trust me my friends, the Magic sets you free

Mirth has ripped the sky asunder, pouring
Down a merry brew of frolicking sound
Pitter Patter! Drip Drop! The Night is gay
And the Moon bellows laughter at the joke.
The stars tumble across the storm soaked sky
Mighty Orion and Leo delight
As the jagged blazing grins saunter forth
Setting the heavens aflame in their wake
Quickly spent, though, is the celebration
Soon the meadows will be quiet again
Silent, serene, hallowed, unspoilt and cleansed
Save the rumbling departure of the World.

What words can Men weave to weather a war?
How can cruelty and casualty
Become bedfellows with commonplace chores?
What Worlds can Gods Wake within Man’s waning?
“The Art of War”, It has indeed been called
If death be an art, what have We become?
The strokes of a Violent brush appall
Bringing pain to many, fortune to some
Souls cannot be spent with such disregard
Lest we all bring our ruin to Hades
Cerberus, Loyal, will gladly stand guard
Watching our Hate infect us like Rabies
The War rages on all around us, Friends
Yet all our Twisted minds pray it Ne’er Ends.
