The beast has returned
With a taste for blood like no other
My soul has succumbed to the devils liquor
And it tastes good

No inhibitions left for the trail behind
As my voice fans the fire of a fool and his gold
The weak shall not worry and the strong bemuse at my
Sadness and sorrow
With my head bowed I walk away
Broken yet again from the nectars wish
In my search for the freedom these chains do desire

Yet still I thirst
Yet still I want
I cannot hide from these wishes that crave my desire for freedom
Oh freedom
Sweet sweet freedom
How I crave thee
Leave me alone so I may live my life in a peace like all others

The beast has returned

Tis my moment
Pure black
I can feel the grinding
All blind

And suffer my rage
Disappointed
This end I shall seek
Be it blown

I be silently shouting
But you don't hear
A screaming I'm feeling
No rescue my fear

And so be it
They don't understand
All echoed inside me
At peace all a lie

Silently screaming
Away I should run
These walls fight my feelings
Padded and worn

Silently screaming
I'm tired lost the will
I think I'm alone here
The bitter last pill

A flower held hand
As the young girl reaches up for her
mothers grasp
The reddest of velvet's reflected from
Tears on eyes
Her poppy
Stands proud and straight

She knows why she's standing
She know no return
Her father not here now
His never come home

He fought for his country
He fought for his life
He fought for his honour
His family
Our life

Remember this girl that cries every night
No father to hold her
Is gone from this earth
Yet she is the proudest
A daughter could be
Because of her father
Gave life
For you
...and for me

.
Poppy day

The Brightest Flower

A flower held hand
As the young girl reaches up for her
mothers grasp
The reddest of velvet's reflected from
Tears on eyes
Her poppy
Stands proud and straight

She knows why she's standing
She know no return
Her father not here now
His never come home

He fought for his country
He fought for his life
He fought for his honour
His family
Our life

Remember this girl that cries every night
No father to hold her
Is gone from this earth
Yet she is the proudest
A daughter could be
Because of her father
Gave life
For you
...and for me

.
Poppy day

Head bowed to feed the floor
(what else do you want from a broken man )
Crack's in my pavement
Find these pacing my skull
(What did you expect from eyes that fire forgot to light)
The same is the same
Dull
Grey
Old
This self pity is a fighter thats lost the way
A fighter
Gone the cause
Accepted to the future
This life
A life that's shut the door
The path is long
I see no end
A call from a friend
A nod from a stranger
Bow
I say
Don't let them see  
Your eyes
Embarrassed by my fallen
The grey is in the sky

With my opened eyes the world came to my focus
Here before me through the glassed prison
Called home
The mist had taken control
And this was my wake

The world had lost its colour
My life had broken down
This heart was left in pieces
Last night I was the clown

Another faded evening
Of wanted love and care
Instead I drank for freedom
I drank because I dared

At first they wanted friendship
A happy place to be
The drinks all round god bless em
Until the wait and see
Until the wait and see

My inner man did show them
The real one inside
All plots are going broken
I'm ready for the ride

The last of night was over
My head did bow in shame
The dawning of the future
The mist did lay its claim

So now I wait
Let the mist fade  

Give me peace for just an hour
Release me let me free
Let me free

Do not wake to life
Wake to live
Breath to want
Look to see
Don't be the blinded

Open the window
**** it in
Taste the freedom
New in pleasure
Life begins

Be not that man or woman
In looking on past
Four walls for your prison
A shake of what if  

Atoned for good living
I'll take it all now
The cobwebs of freedom
Come give me a bow
As day lights my eyes
I know I have won
My journey has started
A life has begun

Alas the corner nears its bitter end
My wait is near complete
Twenty years have been
Waiting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!


I wait for your breath to fall
In my labyrinth of love
Touch my skin
Feel my heat burn you up
Wanting

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

Gold is the ring that holds us tight
A wish
Our love
A feeling Right

My sunshine wakes
To eyes that love you more
My sunshine wakes
I love you
Love me all....!!!!!!!!!

Is not dark a form of light that we can not see?
For if I was blinded by the light
Then only would total darkness come!!

This world we partake in
Has become the blinded
Pain
Hunger
Greed
All seeing yet we walk
Head bowed

A continuum that tells a story
Of success
In a reality that is already darkened
Already blinded
All ready an end

Look away from these words
Take off your tinted glasses
Look around you and see
Yes you can make a difference
The time for healing  
Has begun

You know this place where its cold
Where the cobwebs of your mind fill
On emptiness
This is my place
That bit of our lives that no-one enters
Nor dares too

I like my corner
It feeds me when I'm weak
Brings anger to my softness
And sometimes melts my tepid soul
Into a fiery pit
Of rage

My corner also has a weakness
A look from a strangers glare
Can send me further and further into
My shivering recess
Shy and quiet I will lay
Waiting for the roar
Shhhh ....

Along with ones darkness comes
This lowering  
Eyes shielded
Only the pavement's view
Be my my foe,my friend
Oh do I pity these enemies
For one day my dark
Will be ablaze
The corner shred into light
That one day will come
Thy will be done

No sense came about me as I woke
A dream in wide open eyes
My lair broken
True madness commenced

This is my like as I sleep
So why scare my awakened self
Limbs in numbed state
Mind heated in sweat  

Just 5 minutes of time gone
Turned me over
A placed hidden horror
My sleep quivers  

You know that place
It hates you well
Awake yet not knowing
The dream

The Dribble

I woke up to the dribble
All slapping at my cheek
It wasn't very pretty
It made me feel quite bleek

My tongue just wasn't cutting it
It needed handed touch
The dribble wasn't shifting
Till backhand gave it love

So there I am still half asleep
This goo all on my hand
I wiped it on my girlfriends hair
I'm sure she'll understand

Empty is my mind of colours
As I wash the walls inside me I see
Only white
A colourless colour
Missing the world
My mind on empty
Empty of life

Brushes wash and paint
Yet the white remains
Inside
Painfully hurting
Biting its way to a blur

Let me see
Let me see the colour of the ocean
Let me see the sun and the moon
Even my bitten lip cannot change this madness

So in my mind I follow the blinding
A slave to the system I paint
Painting the cracks
Patching the leaks
Holding back the colour
I battle it's beauty ..it's rage
It's wanting
Wanting me to burst
Into life

Maybe I should do it
End the end
Would anyone want
Bleed tears from their heart
I doubt it

Take breaths be those last
No fortune to add
Seek all that is down
My last raise a frown

See I watched take his last
My dad wanten grasp
My fate not this way
A death watched touché  

Now how may I do it
A drunken glass pulpit
Some tablets a wash
Daggers a blast

I can't really say
My heads disaray
My mind be a blast
These thoughts all my last

All that was ...
Was not all that could be
Your face in my vision
This end that I see

The August felt like November
and my mood followed
suit
A wind that held no silence

From a cool blow that battered
me
As if
I wasn't bruised enough  

For I was the broken one
A mind so empty of full
In a world so barren of soul
And so I pained

I pained for others
I pained for help
I pained for relief

From this madness we call Earth

No pills to change my eyes
No laughters
Fill my heart

These tears are all but wasted
Left
I'm left the all behind

The walk into the emptiness

I'll join the blinkered mass
Condition red
We fall in line

The face behind the mask

I shook hands with my son today as we played
The greatest game of golf
Ever
Till yesterday when I shook hands with my bud as we played
The greatest game of golf
Ever
Then I remembered the last game I played with my father before he left this world And that too was
The greatest game of golf
Ever
In fact every single game of golf I've ever played has been
The greatest game of golf
Ever
And with all that in my mind I realise how everyday is
The greatest day in my life
Ever

There is no second chance
A time to wish again
Be sorry for my faults
So be there many
See the time
So today shall be my greatest day
Ever
As I turn to my wife as she breaths gently from her softness in sleep
When I wake to the sounds of breakfast made
Hear my dog prancing for food

Today shall be the greatest day
Ever
When I laugh in the mirror
At a face
Not pretty or fine
Yet today is another
To eat lunch all together
Watch footy
See our son play his best
How lucky
My test

Today shall be the greatest day
Ever
When we all sit at home
Laugh
Moan the groan
Say night till the morn
As the greatest day
Ever
Becomes
A new dawn

The great war
Wasn't that great
9 million soldiers killed
20 million wound
Yet still these medals of courage stand tall
In my home
Watched everyday
loved and cared for
for they lived so that I may live

That great war
Wasn't so great
Where a boy aged just 12 fought for his land
Gave his present for our future
A stand we should so bow
For our shame of today

Our shame of today
Where money leads the way
Yet doesn't exist
Where profit before humanity
Rules the world
My eyes see the news
They bleed in disbelieve as the shells pour down
As ears weep to the horrors of a child's cry

The great war
Wasn't that great
Only the poppies of hope
Do stir my wishes
Of a change
Of a world without fear
A world where our leaders
Change
So the great war....
Was it that great.. after all?

My heart is filled with emotional dive
This liquid fails me as I empty away
Under the stars of a moonless late
Girders hold as my body fails to take control
The urge to lay down strives to be beckoned
Where in wander I care not to thought
The day becomes long

All was well in the night of before
Till the demons knocked
They knew my door

The deed was done
My debt released
No fiddle played nor golden fleece
Here they fed
As my anger bled  
My love relinquished to blackened
Beat

She held me always
Made me strong
My lovers gaze
I was the one
For now she be dry  

Fear not my sigh for the sleep will fresh
My bloodless heart renews my breath
This memory banked
Another score
A settled debt
Commence the howling
For I see the moon be its rising

I cannot change the hurt I am
A style been moulded
This life all had
It's how I roll to rock and sound
A party had my head a crown

It's what you get that most don't like
I'd drive away if that was kind
But for no ryhme I'd look right back
Turn full circle this hearts all tact
Bleed me out go fight the black

It's lurking all hidden in plain sight
Cloud upon cloud billowing behind
Yet as I turn my eyes drown this fog
Will it smother me in sleep
Turn me cold
Eat my breath

No apologies to shout my minds made all out
The balance is fine be madness to shine
Don't get me you see like most thinking tree
He's daft all not there a man in despair
I covet you all let my smile be your fall


It'll be the end this chosen path
One for the book of deathly blast
On a starry night you'll look up high
See me twinkle in your eye
Make you smile as memories fade
I lives this life in every way

Itch

The dawn had come
My fear still alive and wanting
It's crawl to an itch I couldn't scratch nor reach
So I lay to the sweetest sound of the waking blackbird
A song no words could ever meet
Oh I itch

Inhaling the calm yet deep inside I knew
It also knew and I was scared
I was scared to reach
Scared to test my inevitably
Oh how I itch

Licking lips I remembered last night's  golden red liquor
It thins my blood ..Loosens my mind to a dullness
Thus numbs this prickled skin that wraps my soul
Oh I itch

Shadows fading to a moonlight end
I needed sleep
Would this be it
I don't know
Silence on the outside
Fear creeping in
I can feel it Coming
Oh how I itch

Aches and pains from this blackened soul
Continue their devour
Every day I feel this awakening
Closer and closer to my skin
The monsters cry
All within

Flashes of light eclipse from these
Reddened eyes
Soon the sleep will become
And then your all
Will be over
And they will have won
Be feared in a scream of silence

The itch has begun

The Killing Kiss

As the wind blew
These eyes wept
For once they knew
I'm so alone

The sad ,my lonely
A care I wish
No smile to warrant
The Killing kiss

A once remembered
This time now gone
The tears still flow me
Drowned in love

Under the kissing tree
Is where we meet
My love
Forever written
Lettered in gold
Arrowed be our heart
One kiss
Sweetheart's

Under the kissing tree
Our place to hide
Amongst weeping bows
Long kiss good night's
So young in our days
We sit
We lay
Watching shiny stars  

Under the kissing tree
Where I spoke for tomorrow
Said words like
I love you
Fell on bended knee
My love

Come
Marry me

Everyday they attach to us
They define our looks
Make our worth
Show our importance in this world
Yet what do they mean
They mean you follow

We follow whether we like it or not
The ***** on the street to the presidents men
Be it a fine wine or the cheapest ale
The label is always on show
Always there to prove your worth
Always there to show you follow

I don't like labels
My mind has a different kink
Yet everyday I follow just like you
Everyday I wallow in my shame
For being just a label

A label of sadness
A label for taxing
A label in age

And as my chuckle becomes a laughter
I feel that once again the label wins
As you read these lines
As you gather your thoughts
A new label is formed
For me
So it continues

My look
Their view
These poor people that see
No better
For they are the broken angels
They are the lost not found
The devil in his weakness

A clap drowns out
my sound

Such pity rains me over
For I can see the sun
I can taste the water
I can sense the fresh winds of spring
For I have lived
I have stood
I am me

All life returns to the earth
One day my mark will have faded

So I bring a little smile knowing
That I have spawned the ground
behind me
I have drank the water from the
gods
I have written for the future
I have learned and I have
loved    

My world is very small right now

The face that stares before me
Red and angry
All lost to gain from the thumb to my
afterlife
For I care not
As my work is done
Feathers float before my look
My last look

Effects of an early rise spawned my view
Eager in my need for knowledge
I sprung
Yet worry formed a brow
Concern upon concern quivered me
I had been here before

For then it was to late
Too harsh
All sad
A gone to far
Only tears
For my memory

This time a smile
Be healed
Sorted
Complete
For many moons to pass
Upon the laughing sun

Gently moist upon thy face
They fell
Love tears
All was well

Her smile
That kiss
No words required
Skin on skin
Pure love desire

Pleasure giveth
All received
Tears from heaven
Lovers leap

Our minds entwined
Forever mated
Holdeth hand
Lay in my arms
For I will kneel
Always
My love

The taste in my mouth came bitter
Words from these cold hard lips
Vented a fire
I was ready to lavish

So you closed the door
And all around me fell away
The heat that I drank from
All washed and pressed into
A letter

No smell of your perfume
A kiss missing pose
Just forms all in black
As I read into silence

My rock crumbled with every
tear
Failed foolery wished
A turn back the clocks
I have become the lost

An end that started so well
Fell before my weary sadness
Oh how I miss you
So silently I step away
