Alone in my head
Emotional strings cut
And pulled
Forcing me to wonder
Then the doorway opens
And through the veil I wander

Winding paths
twisted trees
Stars drifting through
The endless midnight sea
A message laid out to read
You come from a world where
False truths lead
Then two paths revealed to me

On my left I hear
The somber ringing
Of heavens bells
But to the right
Familiar whispers call to me
And I am compelled to follow

Traversing into the dark
Abruptly blinded
By the light reflecting off
The pearly gates of hell
Time comes to a stand still
And I’m left to ponder

Only for a moment

Then through the veil
I wander

A dream too good to be true

Look behind the door
What do you see

The silhouette
Of a beautiful dream

Wrapped in the songs
Of a nightingales sorrow

I hope she comes
Back tomorrow

She never came back

Pain leaves the mind blank II

My mind has gone
Blank once again

Beautiful thoughts
Of decay start to
Settle in

Surrounded by the light
Thought clouds
Trap me in the night

Smoke clouds
Swirl around me
To hold me tight

Keeping me safe
From……………

Ballad of a forgotten king

You wandered naked
through the burning sand
looking for the promised land

Denied by the nature
of your eyes
It’s the chaos that you
breed inside

Now You look down
to the ground
picking up the pieces
of your broken crown

The solace of your name
brings you nothing more
but shame

Like the castle where
you built your reign
on the ever shifting sands

Forgotten by
your cruel hands
