"the Magical Herb"

lying awake 

the pain over takes

no sight of a cure

no hope for the world

deadly perscription pills

doctors with no idea

where is the magical herb

the one we all deserve

the cash crop of the west

thats argubley the best

remove these shackles

and let our minds break free

just three little letters

T.H.C

Loser

Caught up in a world
of dreams and false hope
looking for a cure
that can't be found
fighting with a demon
that's not even there
a life with no future
struggles to find its way
as the real world caves in 
the dreams fade away
a life with no purpose
sees no reason to go on
yet it lives any way
and tries to move on
a world with out this life
would not change one bit
the feeling of being useless
will not let it be
a soul lost
can not be free

Apollo

Breaking thru the clouds

with the power of light

as a song bird sings

untill the night 

healing the wounded 

as a chariot thus fly

plucking his lyre

as he opens our eyes

this oracular God

whom can heal or kill

protecting the sun

with a musical gun.

In This Life

as everything seems to get better

god drowns me once again

all that's been asked for

is a little light

yet darkest prevails and hides my sight

good things happen so rarely

but always cast aside so quick

my heart still pumps

my blood still flows

though my mind has fallen ill

In this life

this life called mine

good things happen rarely

yet they're cast aside

just bring me hope

that will last a life time

Maybe

Is this true love

is she the one

i pick off these petals

from a flower as beautiful as her

asking myself a question

does she love me

or does she not

it was love at first sight

but will i pay a price 

is she to perfect to be true

maybe, maybe not

with time will know

if our love will grow 

and i will stay with her to the end and after

2012

Theres been movies and myths for sure

Only time will tell if there will be gore

So we wait and wait

For our what if ending date 

So now we wait, time is a bore

Succubus Angel

I've lost my touch
my creativity gone
so i push myself to be strong
staring aimlessly into the stars
thinking of you is all i do
always wanting just to be with you
your eyes which draw me in
this gentle heart defeates me tough
being far away has ruined me so
wheres my power
no more motivation
i've been taking into damnation
the goddess of love not brought my prayers come true
i believe its time to start a new

Sun,Sky,Spirit

Birds in the air, flying with no care
By the yellow god, known as the Sun

Planes filled with brains floating above
I look with my eye at the beautiful Sky

I wonder all day what happens when you die
Heaven or hell, will be the keeper of my Spirit

A Big Waste

tried to long 
just to find out im wrong
i prayed and prayed
just wasted my days
reading a true book
full of fiction
holy is just a word
and the highest creature in the sky is a bird
no man with a white beard
controlling my fear and tears
what a life what a life
wasted by lies
#@!$ u jesus christ 
for wasting my time
