Why? (2013)
This question has plagued me
I don't know the answer quite well
Can there an answer ever be
Why on this earth we go through hell
Not the literal Hades of old
Or the fire that will burn in the lake
But the hell that goes on untold
That makes us all internally shake
When one says something in their shelter
To slander the name of another
Though he thought no one heard
It eventually caused someone to falter
The day came round when he found out
That he was also being talked about
People all over were chanting his name
So every problem on him was blamed
Eventually came the time where he had to leave
For animosity was the only thing received
He died by himself hardened and bitter
So is the result of any gossiper
An Unseen War (2010)
A war waged between heaven and hell
Amongst the host of heaven
And the demons and the devil
Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael called
Upon every angel which they commanded
Satan and his legions also gathered
A field of battle was chosen by both
And a day in history was decided upon
The two hordes of spiritual host
Fell upon each other with the violence
Of a most glorious hurricane
To the untrained eye nothing could be seen
For the multitude of both heaven and hell
Moved with a speed never seen by any man
The demons rallied with such anger, malice;
They began to overcome the purity of the angelic host
As the angel were driven back again to the gates of heaven
An unforeseen ally of the shining host came forth
A power came from the prayers of man
Charging the host with new found glory and power
As quickly as the battle began it was over
Satan and his legion were condemned back to hell
And heaven was at peace once more
Faith Lost (2010)
Whether god, man, or nature be your view
And if it be that this will save you
Does this matter in your day to day life
Or help you manage you everyday strife
My challenge is where peace in faith lies
If it be in the god then why is faith relies
If god be all powerful would not peace be free
Free to attain free to maintain and free to me
I have faith in man no more never did
The faith once had was lost so rapid
Men stand at arms against fellow men
To burn and cheat and steal and then
Trample under foot whomever they please
Rather than stand stuck humbly on their knees
In nature also i have not much trust
For weather itself can destroy with a gust
So of the three which do i trust
The one that created the other i must
Happier Times (2013)
Happier times come flooding back to me
When I sit and reminisce
Of how things were when we were young
Of how innocent the world looked
How foolish we were to play by Hell's gates
Seemingly blinded by the torment
Felt by all those that stood avast
Haunted by the unparalleled anguish
Of what they could see and we could not
Oh now I wish that I could change
The places I called my childhood playground
But it is too late for regrets or sorrows
For happier times were once the future
And I shall have greater times once again
Dreams of a Yesterday (2013)
There are times I think back
On mistakes I have made
Thinking of things got out of whack
Crawling through brimstone and shade
Wondering if changes were made
If things would be so different
Happy with how things are laid
Trying not to be so indifferent
Somethings would change others remain
For fear of losing my mind
And utterly going insane
Fate can be so unkind
Days are good nights serene
Could not ask for anything more
On things that changed would seem
Useless to try and change anymore
Thank You (2006)
Sometimes I wish life would just end
Oft' I feel all alone without a friend
It is hard to explain unless you have been there
Sometimes all you can do is sit still and stare
Life seems to swim all around inside your head
And makes you sick and wish you were dead
But in the grime and sludge of life I see
A small beautiful hand reaching out to me
Is it yours I am too blind to see i think
But I know if grab this hand I do not ill sink
Our hands clasp together like two magnets fast
The face I longed to see I saw at last
It is you like the eyes of an angel you look at me
Broken and torn inside and longing to be
Once again to be within the realm of those arms
Mesmerized once again by all your charms
The grime and sludge was a little fun
But they cannot compare to the warmth of the sun
Thank you for keeping me from drowning
Thank you for keeping me from wanting
The reason i love you with all my heart
The reason that nothing can tear us apart
Is the fact that you keep me within your heart
From within that keep ill never depart
For with your love I can do anything
And for your love I will overcome everything
Anniversary (2013)
One year completed
One year passed
One year exhausted
One year remembered
Days were sweet
Days were bitter
Days were warm
Days were cold
Hours were long
Hours were short
Hours were hard
Hours were leisurely
Minutes were hours
Minutes were seconds
Minutes have begun
Minutes have ended
