Once Or Twice

Once Or Twice

Once or twice it would be nice
to dance a song or two.
While gazing at the midnight sky
All alone with you.

Once or twice i smile now
In secret all alone.
Remembering that smug grin
I worked so hard to own

In memory only now
I think of you tonight
Once or twice we may speak now.
But it is over; through

You put an end to that as surely as the moon;
Reflects the light of the greater sun, it looks at in praise.
Friends we were and lovers never
but it's ended just the same.

I miss you now but once or twice I feel a twinge of shame;
How could friends end this way,
Is beyond my know.
I cry and harden, and grow callous until.

The pain does stop and our friendship lies littered
On the ground somewhere.
I look at it once or twice and move on again.
Life is an adventure and there is so much to do.
Maybe this won't be adieu?

Titles

Titles


People give themselves titles to help define themselves
But titles are just that definition.
If one is labeled the strongest person in the world does that make you so?
If a small man is labeled tall does he grow?
No because a title is definition, and definitions are empty

Victory?

Victory?

Blood, steel, death
All witness war’s horror as the armies clash
One side loses less than the other
Supposedly it has won,
But in war there is no victor
Because in war someone must die

Fate

Fate

Lifeless puppets

Hanging suspended by the strings of the gods

Dancing a jig to an unknown tune

To cut loose is to fall into nothingness

Salvation in conformity

Freedom in death

Blood Red Sand

Blood red sand
Evidence to the cruelty of man
Wanton and unnecessary murdering of one’s own kin
Oh blood red sand,
Wash away our sins,
And give us a chance to live again. . .

Betrayal

Betrayal
Traitor who hides among friends
Anger where there should be love
A knife to the back
And all that work you did goes down the drain
Because of one person without the courage to speak up and ask why?
Is that fair?
Not really, but what can you do,
When everyone’s hearts are locked away from you?

Isolation

Isolation

Moonlight shining down upon the grass

Head lying beside a tree.

Love is lost and gloom sets in.

Yet Time and time and time again.

I think about what once I had.

Underneath the shade of moonlit leaves.

No one will have me anymore.

I am broken, lost and stained too much

How could any love this mess?

But I will go on for time does pass.

Twilight fades and Dawn arrives

Marching forward I see the chance

For some of this pain to pass-

Through my compassion I spread my love

Not at one but many more.

In time one may find me true

But until then Life is not yet through.

Pain Of Love

Pain of love

Pain runs through my veins

Like caustic acid unclogging a drain

A dominant I am.

The pain I feel I try to share

A submissive she is,

The pain she sees she seeks to keep

A heart numbed by constant abuse

A heart destroyed by young abuse

A pairing based on causing pain

Pain to heighten that which we feel within.

Dark Roads

Dark Roads

Ru~nning through the night

Darkness bli~nds my sight

Life le~a~ving, through my sou~l

Time to walk agai~n.

Find my path agai~n

Ti~me to start;~

Living now.

Nowhere can I see

A democracy

I see; oppression;

Of the young

Bonds and chains I feel

Choking; life isn’t real

Keep going!

Time is nigh!

18 scars I bear

Years of deep despair

Let me go!

Salvation nigh…
