I think somewhere down the line in our parents' efforts to give us everything they never had, they forgot to give us what they Did have~

Grandpa had grit
He knew how to fight
Not for sport
but for that which was right

Up at dawn
His trade was life
Doing what he must
Dusting off strife

He'd say "It's just a reminder
that we're all still alive"
He'd just square back his shoulders
and cut Hell down to size

All but gone are the days
of men standing strong
Everything's grey
there's no right or wrong

We sit back and wonder
where our glory days went
I saw them galloping towards purgatory
saddled with truth, upon common sense

I have found courage in loving you.
You found fear.

A touch of sadness
               ten years gone
Like a midnight's voice
            of a far away song

Caught me unaware
              when I thought
I no longer cared

A sudden spark
              that flew
                    into eternity

A dance done then
             now done
                    in effigy

A poetic terse
              taughtly strung
                    deligently

At first dawn
           fades away

Spike me,
                To thy cross,
I'll taketh thine twinge,
               I'll taketh thy sin's of loss!!!
Tack me,
               For I'll take thy quills,
I'll spill mine crour,
               For thou shalt be sutured to ourn abode in hidden tilth!!!

Queen of ebony night
Unbury me from mine crypt,
The blood moon is upon us
Tis ones troth of raven bliss

Queen of undead theory
Reveal me to thy clockwork *****,
Fog shalt revere me
In thy arms I'll feel thy mysticism!!!
Another foolish yearning for a queen,
All in me head I guess !

"Just a little while longer"
It is written
And though we stumble
Trip and sometimes fall
We are not wicked
Only a little bit bent
Misunderstood
Confused and broken
We weep and we hope
Yet we stay loyal
Because we know
It is almost over

Dark n Beautiful
Flowers

A sinister flower among flowers

The best of the best

Up and down like frilly French knickers

She drop her petals

The bleeding heart vines,

So lovely o’ so divine

Tis comedic yes?
How one can giveth their all for a material good,
Yet canst giveth all thy soul to thy lover!
For thy lover is not a material,
Their ethereal, their imperial !!!

I brought the matches
And you lit the touch paper.
The flames consumed us.
