The Smell of Autumn

The smell of autumn on the breeze

make's me feel so serene

Colored leaves floating down

lay a blanket of beauty on the ground

When the sun rise's up

splaying out it's radiate light

touching dew covered leave's

Red, Gold and Green

A faucet of tranquill reflection

Creating a scene to be seen

Wrapping the heart with gratefull intent

Relaxing the mind from all life's extremes

Leaving behind all the stress and bad dreams

Blocking the toxic seeping of noise

There is only me and the tree's

and the smell of autumn on the breeze

The Drug Lull

I need you 
I hate you 
I can't live with you or without you 
My life lost due to my mind toss 

I hold you in my hand 

only to be damned

The world so cruel 

you are my only escape tool

Further down i will fall

into the drug abyss lull

Shaking and vibrating i push you past my lips 
Sinking in my brain 
Escaping from the world of pain

To entangled to resign 
Destroying my mind 
I just want to escape this periling decline

But you have taken my body, soul and mind 

..

Janus Hearts

Who we are in our minds
To show all others in this time
Janus hearts beat as mine
But what she sells outside is not the true person behind blinds

A smiling face, a light walk
Tells nothing of her true hearts
Everyday the same, rain or sun she moves on
Each day fabricated of the last, never changing, never seeing past, past the way we live our lives in this day and time

Following everyone the same
She tells herself in her mind this it, i do belong
But inside her doubt arise
Clouds her mind and maybe her life is not so sublime
Silent cries go unheard for this life is not as it should

Everything laid to waste because of all the greed and hate
It brings her down, makes her mad
Why can't i just be happy
But this is life and i am well
I should not dwell
Smile and wave happily to everyone she passes

Fitting in, belonging
Fabrication of her longing
this is life, this is mine
Follow in step as everyone else
Agreeing and pleasing so no one can see thy true self

Sublimate her life this way
For an easier life gained
Day after day,week after week, year after year
a decade turns to two
The burden of this simulacra of her life, wears and tears and burns her thru untill there is no light

Dark and cold
forever told
Stay in line and all will be fine
But nothing is fine, all is wrong
We just keep pushing on
No one see's, no one care's
Janus hearts are aware, she wants to scream, scream it loud
But does not dare for everyone would just frown

To belong and get along
Agree to all she see's
To be part of this human race
So her life will not be misplaced
On and on hiding well
Deep inside, buried alive to she herself believe's nothing else

Human Empathy

I close my eye's and hear the screams

I feel the pain of all deceived

Scared and hurt, pleading and bleeding

It grows inside like a bad dream


All those before, all yet to come

I can feel traveling through my blood

Pleading for mercy, pleading for life

Asking god to help in this fight


Strangled in silence of the night

Massacred  in numbers in broad daylight

Hung by the noose for all to see

Others torn apart for the sake of spiritual woos      

Some who think they have the right

as they slice or shoot and take the life


It burns me through my mind and soul

Pains my heart,squeezes tight and i weep the tears of empathy

For a race that suffers long to only gain more hate and wrong

The Battle Between Angels and Demons

It is this night

They do take flight

To carry out this bloody fight

Through the air, they soar so high

Knowing that some will die

 

Up from the depths

For their last chance

A fight for the world

To rule human aspect

 

As they aproach

A trumphet does sound

The angels swoon towards the ground below

Blade's of steel pointed out

Ready to cut demon hearts out

 

Grotesque figures ready to pounce

Claws are poised to rip throats out

A putrid stink clings from hell

Demons afire, Armageddon desired

 

In one swift moment

These beings collide

A war has been started

Unlike any other kind

 

A war for the earth

And all humankind

 

Blood pours fourth upon the ground

Crunching of bones a sickening sound

Crimson tide woe's, Angels fall lifelessly down

 

Blood soaked wings dripping red

Pain filled moans resound

Bloodied claws reaching out

Slaughterous choas all about

 

Internecine no doubt

Bloodly-minded demons screaming vile names

We will win this war in satan's name

 

River's of blood is bled

 

Micheal and satan meet head to head

Satan's voice booms

You die this night for a race that has no love

but for their own power and might

Their selfish and greed proves they follow me

 

Micheal old and wise

Sword whipping in air

Their true fate is god's to decide

He gave them the means to have their own choice

I the divine seraphim will uphold to this point

 

Satan grabs hold of one of his six wings spread

Rips it from micheal with  murderous tread

Blood flows down onto the ground

Creating a pool reflecting carnage of the mislead

 

Satan's horned head thrown back in a meniacal laugh

 

Micheals sword flung high

Brought down with all heavenly force

To end this bloody fight

Sure and true it hits it's marked source

 

Slicing through the neck of what once was the most beautifull

cherubim in heaven reside

The blackest blood did bleed for all to see

Thick and prutred

It is the end of our enemy

Hematophageous

It is night once again

I arise with the same plan

Seek out a life

to sustain my own

One worth dying

To feed my soul

 

I walk the crowds

Feel and listen

Find the one

No one will be missing

 

Lure them away

with my charismatic display

Hypnotic my voice

They follow without delay

 

Alone and dark

I draw close

A gentle embrace

Then i start

 

I nuzzle the neck

As i breath the scent

of this liquid life running through

 

My lips touch skin

I shudder within

Part my lips

My tongue darts first

A sigh escapes from deep inside

Now i know they are fully mine

 

My touch turns hard

My teeth sink in

The flesh gives way

The blood pours in

 

The taste of copper

Sweet and warm

flowing thick

more and more


Feeding this satanic hunger.......................

Curbing once more this blood lust i was made for

 

The skin grows cold

The eye’s fade

another night..........

Another life.........

This is my undead strife

Techno Limbo

I sit in front of this computer screen and wonder what it all really means

So many people connected to each other, so much to tell, so much to see

Is this our live's has come to be

Not really relating, only chatting

IM and blogging has become our socializing

Its no wonder its getting harder to tell what could be real or just imagined

Or just made up for someone's own self satisfaction

Nothing can replace what is face to face

The world so full of violence and hate, how can you deciphere the true intentions 
of another hiding behind the click and send of a IM

So Much

So much

So much to see,hear, smell,taste and learn

Everywhere we look,so much

So much to understand

So much to our live's

Tender kisses,playfull laughs,holding hands

Sweet scents of flower blooms

Soft touches of tamed beast

Skin agianst skin in blissfull embrace

So much

So much, just for us

To care and love, forever grow

For you, for me, eternity

Or so it was suppose to be

Abyssal Dejection

I guess i never will actually understand, i guess i am just antithetic

The quintessence i see

The quintessence i know

The quintessence i feel, all beyond my control

To be oblivious would be angelic, live my life identical to all the planet

Just close my eye's and pretend

Imagine the world as it was intentionally planned

Go through life with blinders as they say so the pain will go away

Ignore the hurt inside my soul

Just pretend that i am whole, and no one will ever know

But inwardly i will know

The intent to increase till i can no longer sleep
