Silent whispersA Silent whisper hanging on the breath of the night.
Another lost soul out of control in the pale moon light.
A sliver of silver, the Autom shiver on a cool dark night.
If you look over your shoulder it's right where I told you
in the pale moon light.
You're dancing with demons, I bet you never see them.

June's AstronautJune's Astronaut
He claws and scrapes
Letting out something of a growl
Stills time stills all attempts and quests for normal thefts
May is gone
Life becomes June
Young trees reaching further and further everyday
Wild fires burn their pros and cons protect nothing except energy
Here comes the wind
Flames themselves free
They aren't of yesterday's creed
They have a beat
Ill tell you where...

Lost in thoughtI tend to get lost back at the beginning,
such a beautiful end. I don't need to be in love
I can just pretend.
I walk open handed on endless beaches
leavening shallow footprints for someone to find.
My imagination runs wild on the winds of maybe.
I get lost in forever skies, leading me away.
never wanting to find the...

The Widdler
A knife lie in her bed, her hand rests atop the hilt.
The satin maple bed frame lie bare beneath her fingers,
And the aliferous knife lie skin warm in the cradle of her hand.
A pile of gossamer shavings grow on her sheets,
Surrounded by splinters near her pillow-
concealed by soft down.
She awaits the conception of a fish,
Sat...

Cat On a Hot Tin RoofIn "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,"
I felt my fingernails digging into his back during an intensely charged moment.
I was surprised to see tears rolling down the cheeks of a strong man—he wept!
He sighed! He reached his climax, time and again.
Was it a display of sportsmanship or a sign of injury?

The Last AutumnLeaf got cried,
On moving apart.
The pain wandered
Inside a Lil heart.
The living trend,
Lasting for long
Blowed the wind
Asking the will along!
To separate heartily
Relations on a bid!
Aparting soul merrily!
Getting a silent rid!
The determine lasts
One the only will,
Before moments pass,
Earlier to be shrinked!
Asking for a heart
Emotions let filled!
One with fond arts
Living love still!...

The Price Of WinningTrue story..... I won a thousand dollars on a scratch-off, it
probably cost me two thousand over time , now that's a sin !
I went down to the grocery
I needed to buy some greens
I thought I'll put a dollar
In that new Lotto machine
I know that gambling
Could be a source of sinning
But couldn't...

NightmareIn my dream the deception was deep,
This girl was healed through the enemy,
And everyone believed that this healing came from God,
She was showing proof that her sickness was gone,
She was passing around a rope that was plated in the middle with gold,
But the rest of the rope looked rugged and old,
I knew it looked strange...

DESTINY’S FACE TEARS-DESTINY’S FACE TEARS-
Destiny’s Face Tears
So if I shed a tear;
Its electric comes from within;
It comes from mine “soul”
Tear flows down my cheek;
Mine eyes to watery like a stream;
I who am electric
Placed in this vessel heaven sent;
I am of within I am Elohim’s son
A King ;

Every House has a SecretEvery house holds secrets. Each secret cracks like old paint on the walls, revealing the fragility of our hidden truths. Years of concealed issues threaten our futures, regardless of how well they are kept. Unlike the enigmatic Mona Lisa, some secrets should never remain untold.
Within every house, hearts have been broken, and each room stands...

Coming to PassLet me be perfectly clear
The end of this world is very near
Father against son
Mother against daughter
When in time is all this slaughter
What great change could draw the line
Between a generation of so small a time
Who could cause so great a crime
The Day's of Noah finally defined
How will come about this great change
The why of which...
