The last star shines tonight
but it fades into shadow
as the light of morning
blinds my ocean eyes
Where is my autumn eyed shadow?
Where is my dark shrouded dream?
Where is the silence
in the myriad of screams?
The Shadow Girl shivers
The dark angel cringes...
Still air is marred
by the fearsome screams
of Horus, enraged.
I weep for corruption
as its last breath is lost.
I weep for the tempest
for its roars faded to naught.
I stand with True Seekers,
on the edge of All,
as the Great One
has answered our call.
Shut up in the darkness to cry alone
You rock to the rhythm of your tears
The torment caused by others
Ripping you to the bone
You reach for a hand to help you up
Only to be slapped back down
Kicked and beaten you rise up again and again
You tell yourself over and over
Bend dont break...
Bend with the stress dont crack
Dont let them win
So you claw your way up
Presenting them with that false smile
Pretending to understand
Inside seething
But bend dont break
And you will win
Show them you are stronger
Than they will ever believe possible
Inside the hurt rages on
But hide it deep from the strangers
Learn to control it

The under the table romance is now going to the underground, but not quite six feet under. This love of secrecy and battles over authority will never die out, perhaps weaken, but still survive. And the ripened phone calls from afar stay lodged in my memory, never to leave or make haste to hide in the corners of my subconscious. All of the "I love you"s will forever run through my mind, leaving a blank to draw with silver sharpies on the surface of reality. We promised to never break each other's hearts, but someone else came and overpowered both of our abilities. The law, the distance, they mean nothing. We still live in the pools of time, in

admiration is an equal motive.
Moonshine radiates with opalescent glow
that catches wildfire in your eyes.
We run to the meadows,
seeking solace in the night.
And amidst the high grasses,
do our figures dance,
with the shadows of the sky,
in a deck of symbols of prophecy.
Your journey partakes in glories
of thought,
Swallowed in mystic shadows.
let your fingers dance
across my heated flesh
as my senses are overwhelmed
touch me, show me how much you desire me,
admiration is an equal motive.
I don't know how to write a love poem.
I couldn't do you justice.
Somehow the words just wont come...
How do I express how deep my love flows?
How do I tell you how happy you make me?
How can I explain how incredible you are?
I don't know how to write a love poem.
I'm not any good at those "sweet nothings",
I certainly can't rhyme,
I can't compare you to roses and violets,
You're too much more than that.
I can't describe the way you make
All my nightmores go away,
Because I don't know how to write a love poem.
I can't say all that mushy stuff,
I can't call you pet names,
I can't describe you as my sun and moon,
Because I'd be

I Hear America Screaming
I hear America screaming
The protesters screaming as they construct their picket signs,
The soldiers screaming as they board their war planes,
The celebrities screaming as they flush their carbs down the toilet,
The CEO's screaming for that one extra dollar,
The cops screaming as donut crumbs fly from their mouths;
America no longer sings
Say goodbye to strong melodious songs.
