It's Christmas eve! I'm all alone,
save two cats and a dog.
I take artwork off of the walls,
warmed by my gas-flamed logs.
I think of all I hold so dear
and all so far away;
and of the fact that I must work
upon this Christmas day.
It makes me sad, so all alone
while others sup with kin.
While moving gives me two abodes,
they rest empty within.
I look back on my shameful deeds;
just coal for me this year.
As others give to prove me wrong
I can't in kind, I fear.
Yet as I pause and reminisce
a happy thought unfolds,
reminding me of all my friends
and family to hold.
"Behold the count of all you miss;
for whom your thoughts
Grotesque are the stars of the evening
Who come to replace courage with dread.
Unnamable things are now stirring
And some do not live just in your head!
Where tides of great darkness forms shadows;
Fade colors, and outlines, and sureness.
Where all that was once known unravels
As the high gibbous moon hides its fears.
Here will you find fresh morbid terrors
From ages remote and decayed;
Of horrors so sick and perverted
That shatters the mind and the brain!
What heavenly blasphemous figure,
A charnel-soaked visage of niter,
Alight by dark witch-flames from pyres,
Now broods over you with desire?
Hovering under the ether sky,
C
I revel in the waves come crashing from the sea
I sink into that blue sky falling down on me
Though every situation ne'er more will free
The shinning little dancers smiling for a fee
I see the revelations swirling like a bee
I need no bitter darkness for my calm to be
Nobody ever lingers for the dawn to see
The strumming of my heart strings dancing merrily
I always seem to wander in and out of time
I never count the hours when I'm lost in rhyme
In all but few occasions loneliness will chime
A moody intonation stepping into grime
I sit beside the fireside of my paradigm
I cannot stay forever, though I strive to mime
The love the
Flame that rises small in height
Melt me with your sweet delight!
So that I might breath new life
For a time between cold nights
Raptured by that sweet perfume
Freed a moment from my tomb!
Reaching up to touch the wound
Never shall I leave this room
Let me swim in warmth's embrace
As stout pillar burns in space
Lapping up the nectar cask
Bliss is captured in its place
Slowly I shall fade away
Rising, sinking like R'lyeh
In due time a bitter haze
Flameout locks me as a stray
Coldest is that final grave
Trapped inside I cannot stave
Frozen to those ether stains
Lacking luster to be brave
Unseen father, hear your son!
Leave
I might be strange enough to be
a queerer lot to my kin.
Yet I am tame to those insane
least lies become my sin.
Thought that I can conjure here
are different, not unknown.
Poetic feats of my delight
might best describe my tomes.
How can I be a poet when
I do not share my dreams?
My musings of nocturnal bliss
do not instruct my streams.
Instead I write upon a whim
the thoughts within my mind.
A point of view I give to it
a philosophic rhyme.
Surely no philosopher
resides within my head.
Insight and depth I do not have
to pin out like a thread.
The thoughts of now a fleeting pass
to superficialness.
Perhaps a lyrical incl
I sit back in my chair tonight and toast a beer
For a long-in-coming death, I say, but do not fear
He was a giant arse and prick, as you might know
It took a longer time, but then you reap what you sow
Now sure, he was a monster of our own design
And there's a lotta sins that we have done in kind
But as that good ol' Gandhi show us back in time
There is a better way of changing adverse minds
Too bad their is no Hell for his dead ass to go
But if you think there is, then I do hope he shows
Perhaps I should be kinder and forgive his crimes
But that is not for me, for I just speak in rhymes
Some say he's not the mastermind of 9-1-1
Frozen in time
I can't rest while she remains far away
Is she still mine?
Will she come home?
Is there any chance?
Doubt now hangs over
I dare not trust to hope
Yet I cannot stop
Guilt is controlling
So I do all that I can before I let go...
But can I ever let go?
Have I driven her away?
Guess now I'll never ever know
Yet I feel compelled to say...
I'm sorry
If I wasn't the father I needed to be
I'm sorry
If I couldn't protect you from life's misery
Sorry
Day after day
You don't come home, all my hopes go down
Draining away
Clouds grow darker
Happiness is just a word
My search is over
I've done all that I can
B
I let you outside without a care
Two days went, but I did not despair
You knew your way, like a kid's rhyme
How could I know it'd be the last time?
I'm calling your name, but hearing no answer
Please come home
I'm on the back porch, awaiting your answer
Please come home
I'm soon very worried; my baby would not forsake her home
I sleep sadly all alone
Looking for you has made me so down
All these questions spinning me around
No one can tell if you've run away
Wether you're dead, or stolen that day
I search the field; when will you answer?
Please come home...
I'm standing right here, why don't you answer?
Please co
