Peace!


My head is a vase, thirsting for water.
Pour knowledge into my mind for thoughts are forever sought after,
And if all I have to offer,
Is not good enough to impress Heaven’s daughter,
Then raise my soul with every word
And allow me to shout from the rafters,
That I am here to learn!
The every thought that has ever been sought,
And once and for all I have learned all that which can be taught.
I will continue to search for a seer to see more.


A direction forth which leads me through only future doors,
Because all that has passed behind me is no more.
Only forward thinking, chalk written on boards.
No time for a break;
Determination compels me to learn from my mistakes.


There is no time to sit and wait for a changing of the seasons,
For my future is out there,
So I must be out there to find my reason.
I want more and more and why being just ok will never be enough.
I have to improve with each and every book.
I need to be better; better than ever.
Better than average; forward forever.
No backwards step, no time left to rest,
Upon my laurels; remove my flower head.


There is no space left inside my head,
For dreams of romance, that time is dead.
At this moment in time love is a waste of lies,
And worrying about tears that will never dry,
Just leaves me with a hole I cannot close.
Go to Hell, I suppose.


Quit asking; cry a river for me.
You are the star of the century, going cheap.
Watch as I leave you standing there confused.
How could he know the things we do?
I am done waiting on you, I wait no longer;
You are weak, I am stronger.
See you later with a lack of foresight.
No ambitious dreams haunt your nights.


I cannot allow myself to be trapped,
By your meaningless selfish schemes.
I need a way to escape.
I need to follow my dreams.


All the negative words you say are wasted.
I hope the rain destroys all you hold sacred.
Tomorrow beckons; I will learn another lesson;
So treat me badly baby, ‘cause you ain’t got me guessing.

Locust


I will make it through to the other side of the light;
The light which you cannot see for you have sun in your eyes.
I have focus, you are my locust;
So I will ignore all the insults you send my way.


All your words begin to fall,
Because your mind has become so dull,
By the simplicity of your ignorant thoughts;
Your life of id, you sold, I bought.


Leap onto another love,
Feeling oh so happy!
I kiss your kind goodbye, good luck,
You will never be my future family.


I will find one love who will be faithful to me;
She will push me forward towards my destiny,
For I can see beyond the horizon
And you are stuck in your eternal night,
With the person you sleep next to changing all the time.
Goodbye to you and good riddance.


I have escaped your rot, your kind of kind,
And all the lies, so many lies, I leave them all behind.
You are welcome to use them; I hope they use you always.
I hope you have a happy life and soon enter your grave.


I need the future which only I see,
The steps I need to take do not need three.
My heart beats like a humming bird's wings,
And you?  You do not need to tell me anything.


Creating things out of nothing.
No feelings to be found without understanding.
Just new meaning and already knowing,
You are lost to me; you should start going.


Your life a hedonistic self-indulgent existence,
And that part which was you, for me no longer exists.
All your hopeless, pathetic needs!
Are yours to seek, just do not follow me,
For I have already disappeared so far ahead,
By years and years I left you for dead.


You have a pathetic kind of love;
I hope I never cross your mind.
There was a time when there was an us,
But you are just born rotten and I hope you die.

Light in darkness


Why in the world do you bother?  I’ll never be your Prince.
You’re getting all hot and bothered,
But you’ll never get my intimate kiss.
Your lies flow around like a red river;
The bodies are all up stream.
I’ll never be your sinner and you’ll never be my everlasting Queen.


Visions flash by like a drunken night star-ship.
Diamonds fall down from the sky.
Lights scream at me when the world turns dim.
Metaphors talk in my dreams each and every night.


Liver’s continue their dancing; I’m all alone in this place.
Everyone goes to the happening;
Find the truth on my vacant blank face.
I’m dancing inside!  Outwardly portraying the end.
You’ll never be my one bride; life has taken away all that ‘Let’s pretend’.


Words are easily manipulated; I write in blood, sweat and tears.
I never claimed I would become the greatest,
But this rock has rolled for years and more years.


Time is a fleeting illusion, I once possessed inside my hands.
I live in a head of confusion, where all I do is all that I can.
Dangerous times call for changes; musical mind clocking in.
Lyrics are filling the empty pages;
Deeper and deeper I’m sinking down in it.


Fires are burning all around, lighting the darkest night.
Earth is The Devil’s playground
And I’m down on my knee’s searching for the right light.
A God in a world of fantasy; imagination my only truth.
You are the drug that I cannot handle.
You keep me moving; you push me through.

A beautiful nightmare


Holding on to life or letting go.
All the phantoms dream of sleeping away the years.
They now know all that which I know;
I am a braindead dancer, nothing behind my ears.


People sing in groups of three or four,
Beneath the old oak tree; waiting on hidden doors.
Hanging behind them are memories.
Reminders of the shapes they used to be.


Times immortal hand still spins on a clock-face.
Taking their turn in their empty graves.
They have already gone beyond Neverland, to a beautiful place,
Where all is light, with bright blue skies,
Where children run in chase of butterflies.


In youthful good they have all lived well.
A Pleasantville life which remains unstained by sins aplenty.
They are just the chosen few; choices choose Heaven,
But where others may dwell, the hearts are empty.


They have no spirit, nor do they carry their souls;
For their afterlife has already been bought and sold.
They lived beneath the chosen word
And now their screams for salvation are never heard.
They sink into nightmares below the six feet of dirt.


A beautiful nightmare is just a story,
For the faithless people of ****** and adultery.
We began as seeds and Great Oaks we became,
But one day the day will come when we all fade away.

Silently screaming.


At the end of the day all things end.
When all is said and done, we are merely men.
Nearly men never find their true love.
We are left so close, but never touched.
So far from being,
Always only ever seeing and dreaming,
While inside we remain…silently screaming.

A future without


In a dark future when the world is in flames;
Who will decide who will die and who will be saved?
In a future of uncertainty, we all have the inevitability of the grave.
What chances do we have to take, to make a change?


If all we have done before has lead us to where we are now;
Why can we not see the problem with a nuclear cloud?
Take your risks and wipe us all out.
The sun will be gone; we will be left without hope
And a new ice age will happen…I have no doubt.


As the countries disappear and we all become human;
We will have no need to go to war because of a few bad men.
Our fight will be against death, survival of the fittest; evolution.
Will we survive until the Earth is reborn
And the animals and plants come back again?


Species are dying and nobody is crying.
Last mankind standing…our future is dying.

Tasteless


Food is ugly, words are false;
Finish your plate or else!
Starving hungry with eyes that cannot see;
Understand, I just don’t want to eat.


Never been a vegetarian;
Bacon is too good at being the best meat.
Open fridge to a room full of emptiness;
Shelves so full of complete blandness, so complete.


Never needed a witness to confess;
Willingly I show you around my head.
My heart and soul may be connected,
But my brain and stomach are not even friends.
They cannot relate, my empty plate,
Wasting away, happy today in my own way.


Too full of apathy to eat.
I see my reflection staring back at me,
In the microwave machine;
The only place I bother to be.


I catch a glimpse of malnutrition,
But do not worry about me,
Or what I eat; I eat to please.
To please the ones who worry, they are sweet,
But I am still so unhealthy.


I am happy when I weigh less than I should be;
Used to have a better body.
Used to be a better version of me;
Used to be somebody.
Those days are gone forever;
Too far gone to remember gladly.


Working hard to find my six pack;
Afraid those days ain’t coming back.
Give it time and it may be;
Only if it happens will you see my body.
This skin on bones I hide with clothes,
This belly should not be a part of me.
I cannot let you see that I have become so flabby.


Happy being skin near slim,
Not fat like that.
The mirror man has never been perfect,
But if only I could reach what I once had.
Weight a while, break the scales,
Walk in the snow, walking for miles.
Heart, body and soul, no place to go,
Striving for perfect,
But those wishes are too shallow.
