While the earth shook I could not look 
In the direction of the Big Book 
Like a fish caught on a nasty hook...

Finding Shelter During End Times (1)

on a planet that dies as your knife pricks its heart
(not alone you’ve had help, the last lemming, perhaps,
to run...

I saw one journey end and another begin
I saw my world changed and in a spin 

I saw another end - the end of the band
I saw John and Yoko hand in hand

I saw commandos...

collecting natural specimens, fossils and stones
always venturing out, to our planets sun rays
throughout his amazing life, even, with old bones

He felt the ground shaking underneath
He asked god for his help
And made one last yelp

Feral Exchange

Will gather my fortune whatever is your inappropriate depiction

Dig my teeth into your body and soul straight down to the bone

Leave my scent...

Or Michaelangelo his genius wild, cutting a lady less forlorn
With a savior already finished with work and free from...

In the dark of night 
I’m in my tower of light
It’s time to face my demons
And face the fight
My hands are clenched 
These fists of rage
The beasts uncaged
My rage bleeds out 
upon a journals page....

I'll cuddle the dog before going to sleep
My mind ready for the scrap heap
I'm over tired and overwrought
Numb of body and numb of thought
The running thread, if there is one
Is that I can easily become...

BLASPHEMY 

What the WORLD say you are
Versus what the WORD say you are.

That keeps the whole world in crisis
Spending your days raping and killing
All nationalities blood in the street spilling

Since the real world isn't my ideal depiction.
Sweep me away to a far off land,
Let me embrace an elf maidens shimmering hand.

Have dragons fall before my sword,
Make armies bow...

...but hands full of dust
From beneath that dead tree without shelter nor brush
Upon this desolate land without shadow or shade
Where the earth has been scorched and it's skin is decayed

It’s like a pain in my stomach, a hunger unfed
Get the fullest apology for all that’s been said

The 100 Year War

I rise
Mighty and strong
Armor plated and ready for battle
I shall behead the infidel
I shall conquer the evil doers
I am a warrior
Both great and bad

I am a warrior, and
I am sad
Tears fall upon...

something worth holding on to
it brings peace to a wounded soul
lifting away any type of blue

This promise has divine overtones
for it comes from God the Lord
as the king of heaven...

" I wandered lonely as a cloud "
 ~William Wordsworth ~

In quest of beauty not yet told;
Once found, I’m pining to be heard 
And stir your slumb’ring core....
