Lay By Day Fly By Night

Lay by day, fly by night 
like puppets in an evening play 
played with strings 
and whose movements depend
on the fingers of their masters

Like zombies that do not sleep,
waiting for prey, 
they lurk in the shadows 
and wear colors, 
not of their choices 
as they lack the capacity 
to use their own brains, 
or let us say, 
they got nothing, 
for, they're just puppets. 

And when their masters
are through with them 
they cast them out
if they no longer got any use
like garbage thrown 
in a pit.

Premium Member Fly By Night

As you sleep so peacefully
I'm flying over you
Placing love notes in your ears
In whispers, no ado
My presence barely noticed
You'd have to be in tune
To sense that I am even there
No shadow in the room

But there I am, indeed of you
I am profoundly fond
And with you I could see myself
A very special bond 
I will kiss you when I leave
Right behind your neck
Subtle, not too obvious 
Just a little peck

Fly By Night

Fly By Night

I am a mosquito, 
And I fly by night.
I can fly very high,
Higher than a kite.

I can touch the moon.
With its alluring blue glow 
Wait! That’s not the moon.
OH NO!

ZAP!


Fly By Night

this life means nothing
our  world is one of many considered for scrapping
hell is the only solution in gods mind for its people
if we are to bite
if we are to hell
it must be BIG.

Fly By Night

Your silence shows brightness!
As I go beneath into your ghoul, 
I feel the undiscovered obscurity.
But nobody in the world knows…
They never know you at all.

The innocence in your face,
Much likely a symbol of purity.
But the depth of your soul,
Goes beyond to a new horizon
A place of total darkness.	

Flowing beauty of secrecy,
Oozing splendor and admiration,
There are only few in the world,
Knew the tyranny of your hands.
Frightening truth remains to be hushed.

When will people open their eyes?
To see the nightfall raging inside of you.
Undress the identity hidden.
For people need to see the whole truth.
You are most untrustworthy one.

Fly By Night

You fly without wings
through a night without time
yet you manage to land where you please

You see what you want
without eyes there to guide you
and you've entered without any keys

You've taken the knowledge
you gained in your travels
and tucked it away in your mind

Knowing well, in the future
on one of your journeys
you are bound to meet more of your kind...


Fly By Night

With the fowling stench
       Of Creation
Of the Los Heaven's afar
We do much to grapple
      For the money
Or maybe a big new shinny
      Car
      ------
The stench to eternality
Stretches' far beyond
         As far as
You and for me to see
Spend it, with the Devil
   Or with Thee
      ------
I would rather live Life
For the like's of eternality
      -------
I shall live life's worth
   In most part
Living in the mainger
    By and large
Living of this God's
    Green earth
Knowing that some day
If only the world would change
      Fore their is only one God
Fore He is my heart
      -------
He is my first beloved
And without His love
Thing's will never be
        The same
      ------
Since my day of birth'
   He has so much
Giving pennant's for
      So many
For those who hadn't any
      ------
With credence to so many
They soared as they 
        Reached the Sky
While those of us
Whom still walk this earth
    Were born to live
For better or worse
   Until this day
We must die
      ------
       And thusly,
I pay homage to thee
   And so be it by
The Grace of God
There go I
