Premium Member A One Night Stand With Krampus

Menacing lover from a myth;
He pushes my boundary line,  
I’m claimed every December fifth;
Sticks shout leaving behind a mark;
Take the beating and do not bark,
full mouth there’s nothing to discuss;
I nurse what was done in the dark;
Just a one night stand with Krampus.

See

moonlight leaning against the corner
seeping out
fan is created
light of Love jumps over
the boundary line of the curve
runs through the endless space

4 a.m.

Lifeline

lifeline like
i feel fine like
this is a sure sign
of plans not planned to pan
out.

piece (peace) of the puzzle
and it's not lost on me.
you are the
eye
of my storm and it
concerns me how the
weak become even
more (less).

lifeline like
not this time like
you're just my kind
of taken picture no one's framed
yet.

constant debate between
living and there's no other option but
this. oh,
you replace the parts of me
i never wanted to
keep.

lifeline like
you are just mine like
crossing that boundary line
of do i (don't i)
yes i do because i can't
not.

bright scars and even brighter
stars and of course
of course because you
anchor me,
and what else is holding up the
night?

lifeline like
lifeline like
lifeline
oh, how i know, you can
understand me
(now)


My Horizon

I stand here alone on the shore 
of my horizon the place where 
reality seems to meet the facts 
of my life and where the water 
reflects the trials of my life as 
my limits of experience washes away 
my footprints of knowledge i however
i can see only about three miles 
before the surface of the light of 
my life before the earth curves it 
away out of my eyesight no matter 
how good one's eyes are my horizon 
forms a kind of boundary line far 
beyond which one cannot see but yet 
i stand free as i watch and wait for 
my destiny and fate too awake and 
arise from the line where the sky 
seems to meet the earth i remain 
steadfast on the grains of man hoping 
my horizon to uncoils my life's span

Let Tomorrow Count

Yesterday’s dream
Today’s hope
Tomorrow's reality

Ability with responsibility
Straight for adversity 
Seeking for a fallen at pleasant places
The boundary line of our greatness 

Let tomorrow count
The cry; cry of the hopeful 
Hoping for victory
No victory comes easy, man
The battle of a warrior
An uncompromising faith for victory 

Let tomorrow count
Let not my dream fade away
Let my tomorrow count
Let not me waste away

A temporary dish of pleasure 
Fest of the unfocused
Seeking for the bed of roses
Wanting it so cheaply 
Easily, for a dish never worked for

Fear; an enemy
A kinsman of doubt and unbelief
Yesterday's fear
Today’s affliction
Tomorrow’s defeat 

Study and learn thyself friend 
Spend thyself, give light to the world
Manage thyself, realize who you are
Realize and actualize thyself
Actualize and be fulfilled, man
Let tomorrow count
Especially in what you do today
