David Peltzer

I sit on my hands
At the bottom of the stairs
When will she call?
When can I move?

My mind wanders in the darkness
My soul takes flight
And my mind has wings
I am free
I see the cottage
The Red Woods
The stream
I am home

Being called back to reality
I stand and run
The Mother calls once more
Once again my world has stopped
Her unloving hand
My unloved face
Once more they meet

Sing

Sitting in my room I sigh
‘What kind of life is this?’
A supernatural song fills my mind
Suddenly I'm not alone
An angel stands before me

Words are useless
And thought are gone
One idea is left
Sing
Sing
Where this was coming from I do not know
But I obey

My mouth opens
And out flow words and notes not of my knowledge
The song continues
Though there is no music

Abruptly the lyrics stop their movement
The angel steps forward
And I fall on my knees

He touches my head and smiles
'This is God's gift
Use it to its fullest'

My head falls and I sob
'My lips are unclean
My heart is impure
I am unholy'

The angels lifts my face
He touches my lips and my heart
'You are clean
You are pure
You are holy'

Tears fill my eyes
And a lump forms in my throat

Words are unused
Unneeded

Death's Hope

I need you more than ever
You said You'd be there
Where are You then?
When will You return?

My soul is screaming
But I hear nothing
Every time I cry
There is silence

You said You'd never leave
Then why can't I see You?
Why can't I hear You?
Why can't I feel Your face?

I stare into the void
There is nothing left to lose
Nothing left to feel
I jump into the darkness

I feel a hand grab mine
A light fills my soul
Words fill my heart
and intoxicate my mind

I hear His voice
It's singing

'Don't give up my child
I have never left you
My voice was drowned by lies
My love, covered by sin

'Now you are free
Chains will never bind you
Leave you fears behind
The hate no longer fills you

'You are not condemned
To the hot fires of Hell
Your soul can now take flight
Your heart my rise again

'Take my hand
The night grows colder
I shall keep you warm
I will give you life

'Fall into my arms young one
Let my strength carry you
You need no one else
You'll want nothing else

'Cry on my breast
I'll hold you forever
Nothing will touch you
No one can harm you'

All at once I feel the power
His fire consumes me
His love engulfs my heart
All at once

                   All at once
                              All at once

Mom

I shut my ears
I close my eyes
No longer do I hear
I no longer wish to

Your word anger me
They fill me with hate

Why does it?
They are not poison

Is it your tone
Or my independence?

I know not
I know nothing

Can I not leave?
No, you provide

Will you stop?
No, I don't tell

I lie
I smile
You cannot suspect it

I feel you
Not for long

Soon I'll crack
I'll spill my soul

I can't contain

Take my heart
Rip it through
I need it no more

I cry dry tears
I shout silently

You can't help
I won’t let you

Leave me be
Keep your distance
Don't harm me
Don't touch me

Let me lie
Like a dog
Like dirt

Scilence

The people sit iced
In the winter

In the dark
They tremble in shadows

The night is cold
The night is endless

They're frozen in the snow
Like roses

They're sleeping

The flowers echo the sun
No one watches
No one rises

The fire of hope is our warmth
The flam is weary
It will die soon

Our Love

Our lips brush together
Our bodies are entwined
How I wish you'd hold my
Until time itself ceased

If we are found
We won't hide in shame
What would be the reason?
Our love is ours to have

Who can tell us what to do?
What powers have they?
They have none!
No force can stop us

Take my hand
Caress my body
Don't ever let go
I give myself to you

People Just Like You

Sitting in the back of the room
Crying over a 'Rooster'
A little humility
Will do you some good

You're not the best anymore
Or were you at all?
Head stuck in the clouds
Oblivious to who you hurt
Not in the lead?
You take everyone down with you

No one feels sorry
Really they're celebrating
But still they're there
Patting you on the back
Feeding you lies
Telling you that you deserve better
When really
You don't

So when someone spills the truth
You find yourself devastated
Because for once in your life
Someone isn't comforting you
They spout their opinion
And their opinion isn't yours

Her words burn in your mind
They circle in your brain all day
You're angry
You're upset
You don't understand that you can be wrong

Oh how the mighty have fallen
Or that's what they say

You lie on the ground
Scared and confused
What can you do?

Not accept the truth
No!
Why would you do that?
Truth is lies
Lies are truth

That's how life goes
Around and around
A continuous circle of fallacy
And you're caught up in it
You can't break free
You don't even try
Why would you?
People will feed you deceit
And try their best to make it true

So keep going with your life
Let the lies consume you
Condemn yourself to Hell
You'll like it there
It's full of people
Just like you

Dreams

Simple notes
A passing gaze
You gently touch my hand
Those small things
They give me joy
You cannot fathom

Will they end
Fast as lightning?
Is it all just a dream?
Will I wake?
I do hope not
Let me sleep awhile

Losing

Empty hands hold simple joys
With hopes of love, to which it toys

Silver tears fill up my lungs
My perception of my life is hung

The scent of hatred ensnares my mind
The terrors of the world aren't kind
They take your soul and tear it apart
To describe it? No, I could not start

The only truth I hold is small
Hardly worth the mention at all

As I lay in bed tonight
I know I'm in a losing fight
To hold my life inside its place
To kill my shame, I hide my face

I let myself live the lie
Hopping that the World will buy
The foux facade I'm putting on
One day each lie, they will be gone

The Last Star

The last star blinks out
I dance to the beating of my heart

The darkness consumes my soul
I close my eyes and cry out
'Enough of the dreary life
I can take no more!'

The blackness clouds my thoughts
The evil eats my heart
Screams fill the night
As my frustrations let out

The steel blade of sorrow
Pierces my heart
My blood floods the meadow
Only the moon sees

My lifeless body lies
In the dead of night

My soul watches from above

It shakes its head
And flies away
