Premium Member Remembrance

Ebony eyes eclipse ripping away sun
Moon blooms of golden gloom 
Lips lacking limerick’s lift
Onyx mood swings back and forth
Like grey grandfather clock
Time ticking as a blues bomb
Raining purple passionate pain
clouded by lemon lyrical labyrinth 
Of love lacking it’s sweet liquor 

The bittersweet longing embraced 
Tastes like red regrets sifted through time
Straining to be reinvented not lamented 
In black bird’s somber death song
Sacred and solemn in honor of loss
Mourning is important inked in green
Like poison ivy uncomfortable 
But never worthless as it is digested
And creates cranberry calling to 
Remember the fallen angels
With soft tears laid like roses
On the cold creamy colored casket

Mountain Death Song

beam me up
I've been waiting for a miracle
beam me up 
I've been waiting just for you
beam me up 
I've been waiting for this moment
beam me up 
for there's nothing more to do
beam me up
over the rainbow or down a rabbit hole
beam me up 
beyond the vision in my eyes
beam me up 
as I sit upon this boulder
beam me up
out of the shell of my disguise
beam me up 
when no one else is watching
beam me up 
right down into my soul
beam me up 
into the vast and bright blue yonder 
beam me up 
as my body's growing old
beam me up
before I falter
beam me up 
before I fall
beam me up 
before it passes
this sharp appreciation of it all

I Wait For the End and Sing My Death Song

As I leave you today Im broken hearted
My body dies and I become one of the departed
The taste of death sickens me in every way
All the colors I know now are black and gray

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

Painting my lifes canvas with a final stokes breath
Knowing my critic is th reper of death
Staring at loving pictures that hang on my wall
Knowing the angels are waiting paiently to call

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

Im one heartbeat away from rotting to the core
You can hear the sound of me knocking on deaths door
What direction will I take heaven or hell
Im not impatient and only time wil tell

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

Going softly as day turns to eternal night
My fear is upon me and then all at once out of sight
I drown in sorrow into the sea of blue
My last thoughts are of course you and only you

With no worries as I know you will be shortly along
I wait for the end and sing my death song

Premium Member Oh Woe Is Me

Oh woe is me.
Life is bad.
Things are horrible.
I live in pure sad.

I drag my lethargic body
Through mire, muck and mud.
Down in the mouth always,
A true Elmer Fudd.

All things are terrible.
I feel ugly and sick.
You cannot help or uplift me.
My brain skull is thick.

I focus on all bad things I know.
Life is full of meaningful powerful woe.
Oh woe is me. The days are brutally long.
Come back here, I want to sing my death song.

In spite of your realization, there is simply no gray.
Life is horrible and bad, ridiculously ugly and sad. 
My friends are all gone, they have all run away.
In my world anyway, things are awful and bad.

Premium Member Licorice Lullaby

Licorice lullaby sweet and clear
A death song in emerald ear
My last breath leaves you here
Death angel isn’t tangled with fear

For it is my destined time
Nothing to fear well past my prime
I look towards the horizon ahead
Hope to be remembered like the dead

Out of body into eternity 
The colors the feels of ecstasy 
It will be the most beautiful peace
Flowing souls like jewels of silver sea

I know my death will come
I’m open to it unlike some
Not that I don’t want to live
But I know death can be positive 

The end of pain and beginning of 
Journeys your soul flows like dove
The continuation of your trip you see
To evolve resolve and meet destiny

Music of the Damned

Music Of The Damned

The pounding beat of a drum
The haunting call of a guitar
The woeful sound of a saxophone
A singer singing the thoughts I have
Thoughts I cannot share
All heard in the darkest of night
Alone with my thoughts and the thoughts of the singer
I hear how life is not worth living
How there is no hope
How there is no chance of a future
Depression reaches into my very soul
Tearing me apart at the seams
I listen, absorbing every word
Letting the notes control my heartbeat
My head throbs as I listen
My hand reaches to table next to me
A thin sliver of shiny metal
Sharpened by men who didn’t know how it would be used
The singer had no idea what his words could do
The last note of the song matches my last breath
My heart beats to an ever slowing beat
It stops as the drummer screams
The song ends and so have I
Just the last victim of the music of the damned

Waiting for Death

I wanna die now
I wanna die
Does it really come as a surprise
Look me in my eyes do you despise
Me cause I wanna die

What's the view like after death I wonder
If it's even any better or if we're under
Exactly the same sky with just a different filter
Will it matter if I do things any different

Why should I try harder
Why should I work smarter
Everything's just a bore like o brother
All I do is sit and complain
We're all playing the same game
But I might as well level up
Under a billion different names

I go everywhere in my mind
And no where in real life
Why don't I mind it's like
I'm stuck in the same headlights
That I've been in front of since I was a child
Knowing I need to go the extra mile
But I can't move my feet
All I can do is write and the feelings bittersweet 

I wanna die now
I wanna die
Does it really come as a surprise
Look me in my eyes do you despise me
Cause I wanna die

Is it your place to judge
I wanna join my loved ones
But I don't like the pain so I hold on to my name
Instead of watching it fade away
And leaving on an airplane
I wanna go so far away 
Wishing something would make
Me wanna stay
But I can't keep putting on this facade

Stuck inside my box
Scratching my noggin wondering what is going on
Why is everything so confusing 
Why can't I learn to use this 
And be so profound 
I'm craving making my own sound 
But it's just white noise that I'm surrounded by
So I just sit and pick apart my life and that's why
Oh that's why

I wanna die now
I wanna die
Does it really come as a surprise
Look me in my eyes do you despise me
Cause I wanna die

Life

Scars won’t heal 
Love can’t solve inner lust with 
a prejudice heart 
Pain can only be solved by 
anomalous feeling 
Happiness won’t last without 
desire for one’s heart 
Sorrow only fills the void with 
unapt options with time 
Lust won’t solve love if love 
isn’t present within the heart 
Death is temporary although lasts 
for eternity 
Passion isn’t love, lust or admiration 
it’s simply exceeding inept truth of 
emotional pain 
Life is eternal without love,lust passion or feelings 
Be mindful of your soul 
at all levels of oneself 
Ascertain throughout life with 
all passions gaining upon you 
Stay true loyal and amorous 
towards one soul 
As death draws near sing
ones life bereavement 
Letting your soul omit your self’s 
departure with grace 
Sing your death song and 
be forever gone

Bowl of Sorrow

Eating bowls of dying meat
                      sucking poison which taste sweet.
                    Gas filled bodies that retain their juice
                     a dead little dog that took abuse.
                   The death song plays for a mutilated boy
                      insane parents who receive no joy.
                    Black dogs bark at the funeral fires
                     death looks down and picks his desires.
                   The decapitated body of an unknown man
                       no one cried which was part of the plan.
                   A shot in the dark took the poor man down
                     crazy children laugh as they hear the sound.
                    'Blood in the gutter' whispered the man
                      slay your neighbor as fast as you can
                      No one hears this , no one understands
                     'Blood in the gutter' whispered the man.
                    A slash of the knife brought grandma down
                    the young boys laughed at the blood on the ground.
                  The blood stained clothes of a forgotten child
                    the man with the knife is running wild.
                   The meat in the gutter might be your own
                     for you are left for dead
                    and to the dogs you were thrown !
                                                                          © By Larry Hays

Still On Patrol

Can you hear the whispers
brought on by the wind storming?
Carried true by the harpers,
the tale the howls are forming?

Came a knock at the farmer's door,
a mailed fist with a fate to turn.
A sob, a wail, a call to war,
a boy, a son, home soon to yearn.

Soon a soldier strode from youth,
to the beat of the king's drum.
A shield his hide, a sword his tooth,
his pack stood the night to come.

Oh for the heroes of men,
the ones who hold the line -
oh for the kin behind,
the ones who hold to hope.

Silence broke to a thunderous horn,
the battle joined with the savage horde.
On a bloody tide he thus was borne,
death he granted and fury he roared.

Silence returned with a blade's sigh,
sanguine as it was ripped away.
A keen, a dirge, a mother's cry,
a man, a son, home soon to lay.

Oh for the heroes of men,
the ones who hold the line -
oh for the kin behind,
the ones who hold to hope.

A place to rest he was given,
a peace he has not taken.
To guard, to serve he is driven,
his will, his resolve unshaken.

So when you see a warrior's mound,
shed not a tear to hear the bugle -
hark rather the marching sound,
for he yet walks the vigil.
