I never thought I’d be here
With more or is it less
Choice than ever I’ve had
Puzzlin’ to be free
Yet I’ve never been more confined
Seems like too much after
So few paths before were lit
Well, I guess change is good
Yeah, maybe
But it’s only me and little more
Am I too soon or late
These lies and overt greed
Have fled from my mind
What of others?
Can’t they see?
I pity them and me

Darkness Flows(Moon’s Tears)
Darkness flows now to embrace
Highlighted by moon’s tears tonight
While fraud cloaked fools
Their fears do chase
Within their binding prison, Light
They still fear shadow and they worship hate
To the pains of others ‘o
They’ll not relate
And they still fear shadow
And wrongly hate
They’ll not release, no
Truth’s chained flood gate

Knotted Thread
To be doubted, to be feared
To know the truth, to be seen blind
I’m ever distant, from your thoughts I’m cleared
Yet I hover beside you, float behind
It seems to me that distance grows
So your mind can forsake emotion
And your heart beats ever slow
As you cut the ties, end devotion
I can’t see much now
And this heat behind my eyes
Is as heavy as my core, don’t know how
It can ever fade, faith flies
This cord you’d sever was ever thick
“Dimond links in the soul-air,” you said
And time has weaved, confused, tricked
And it’s nothing more than knotted thread

Stone
On these steps I sit in silence
With the past beside me as she
Dances, weaves and brings remembrance
That once here, I didn’t know it
But I was free
Memories can be just reflections
Of what the winds one day will bring
Simple pains we all forget
Far from eternal infections
Yet joys of no complexity
When lost, to our souls still cling
The statue before me is still there
Though unimportant without
The winged one it once hid with me
Now seems unflawed,
Broken and fair
Upon those stones never could the two be
Yes, joys bring pain when they’re not here
[————————————–]
Reflective Ghosts
Pleasantly haunted by the memories
Of those moments I did not recognize
As reflections of what is between
These drifting, flowing souls
The song and memory keep me in peace
Despite the falling leaves, the rising pain
And the rain-tears did release
They cleansed, brought resolve
Darkened Truth
This slight sanctuary’s all I have
For now while I am empty
To keep sanity within sight
And sorrow’s teeth from my throat
In time all will return to me
Filled with it all again, maybe
At least for a time, a moment
So I sit, I wait, I live
[————————————–]
Sky Tears
The clouds hang over
Drop their tears on us
Standing here in the grey
Is all I seem able to do
And the droplets collect
And pool beneath my feet
The clouds tear apart
Wrench free, return
And the rain still falls
Lightning whitens grey
Wind brings drops
Raging into my face
Deeply soaked
Still I stand
Water runs down my hair
Clouds depart, momentarily
And I partly mend
