Phantom Pain

at night, when the blue moon calls out to all wild things, 
its azure a calming wave in the bottomless screaming night
I walk in time and with each furthering step,
sweeping strides
which pay more mind to any journey than its subsequent destination,
I wonder what translucent fish hook has ensnared me, finding myself dragged from bed each evening,
restless body and brain,
suffering from some kind of phantom pain
which wines and aches 
each second i stay in one place
so I swim through these dull grey streets
crossing sides when i see
something move in my periphery
avoiding eyes because to me they bleed
through my thin skin and creep
on the contents of my lungs
filled to the brim with this past
i continuously try to Ash
for the last time


Meandered

She wished neither to be loved
or adorned
yet wished for the tresures
that Lovers deserve
and those who are adorned
receive as gifts.

He wished for someone
who loved him in 
needed him could only disappoint
but being valued as loved
he could be man enough for her

There personalities clashed
and were completely opposite of
one another and often out of sync

Echoes the nights
were the need of
being loved has him
lonley and unwanted
yet she finds reasons
to need things
they sparkle
to shine for others
to admire her

Echoes the Nights
when the things that
posses me
are thetrickets
that give him way to
me
might I suffer
to need her to
love me

He is neither neglected
or has Love faded
we exist to co-mingle
and habitat
Kisses and whispers
might arouse a need in me
that he may belive
to be his vision of Love

Just a Fantasy

On lonley nights that feels this cold
Nothing hurts more than you being so cheaply sold
You failed to understand me when my best I tried,
You never even meant for us to try!

Can't bear to see you with another guy
If only your icy attitude i could buy.
Maybe it's not that I can't see you with another man,
Maybe it's just because he's the same

Same 'ol guy who always wanted to come in between.
Now you're with him even before halloween.
That sure does say a lot about you when you were with me
You never wanted us to be together I see.
Man, who am I kidding here with a fantasy?
It's not like we were ever meant to be!

Premium Member Fading Dreams

The day is dying
The half-moon is faltering
In its nocturnal crawl
Across the gloomy sky

As the sleepy village goes to bed
Under the inky dark African sky
Stragglers are home-bound with trepidation
From another day of disillusionment

 Lonely drunks lost in alcoholic world
 Stagger home on the sandy paths
 Boastful about feats known only to them
 As the alcohol ebbed with their fading dreams

In the barricaded walls of wealthy mansions
Glittering outwardly and lit by obscene chandeliers
Lay looters and scoundrels of our commonwealth
Wide-awake scared stiff of night marauders they have created

 As the gulf between the leaders and the led continues to widen
 The day of  reckoning  has come for African predator overlords
 Like Macbeth they have murdered sleep
 They shall sleep no more

Barricade

is there not a note or chord or rhyme
i haven't explored or given time,
or some three letter tune, with notes so true
it perfectly explains my state of mind?
its hard finding new rhymes with lonely,
or to make arguments i've been betrayed,
those long nights still haunt me
and time and shame they cost me
behind an unlocked door barricade,
i wish i was a lot kinder,
to the one i had left on the floor,
instead of torturing myself with more questions
about if anyone really does care,
i should have packed up my rags, 
put my time in a bag
and paid for a one-way bus fare,
to get me the hell out of there,
i'm sorry for leaving you abandoned,
and yelling at you to believe,
you must suck it all up, 
put your pride in a cup, 
and swallow your hollow disgrace,
the taste was always sour,
the smile soon would fade,
and back again you'd find yourself 
behind another barricade,

Lonley

The  lonley feeling in my heart 
Is literally tearing me apart
I am surrounded by so many
Yet feel like there is no one there
Sometimes i feel i am going crazy 
Just feeling like pulling out all my hair
Feel like i want some company
But not just any kind
Company from a special someone
But that someone is no where to be found
As they belong to someone else now
And there is no return 
Why do we always have to lose the ones we love
Either they are taken from earth 
Or they are with someone new
Why can't life bring me happiness 
For all the thing i do 
I wish life could change one day
And bring me some happiness too

Cavern Calls

It's like I'm in a cave,
pitch black
with the echoes of each footstep reverberating across the walls,
sounding like a thousand footsteps,
all behind me
where am I,
am I lost?
They say so long as you hold on,
but it's cold
so cold
and the blackness surrounds me,
swallowing me whole
it would be so easy
to just rest for a while
here, beside the cavern walls,
I'll close my eyes and resign myself,
maybe it's just night,
and maybe if I look up I'll see the stars,
I've always wanted to see the stars,
wherever you may be,
we'll find eachother
and the stars won't shine in the cave tonight,
so I'll go on carrying out this fight,
I don't care where I'm going,
so long as it feels right,
I touch my hand against the wall,
jagged and sharp I feel it's call,
the cave wants to swallow me,
and spit me out anew,
gleefully I cheer the scene,
of certain death, no retreat
but lately it's been haunting me,
what can I still do
follow the walls of caverns tall,
and long and large and lonley,
deeper down below, 
I may still go,
but hope's my one and only,
and questions and doubt,
I must cast them out,
to proceed is what I need,
The cave calls for me to fall,
but stars I'll chase
in this endless race
to be free from this blackness
surrounding me,
suffocating me,
slow

As Vezes Eu

Of night the birdentane the sound
with an untamed voice
an echo of sungstrung things
a vision without a voice
charm me to wish you mine
that others want me to
that she might tell me things
that I might hear
only to make me fool
misguided and unrecognized
might her masked intents
cause a foolish people to
divide
it's neither wise or real
to understand
when she's scripted everything
unawnsered questions causes
one to simply walk away
but I'm blessed with the trust
and am husbandized as she
is wife to me
strum the harps that misstrals
sing and make it diffcult for me
some wish to narrate and be the
cause of our demise
they wear disguise themselves as our freinds
and coulld look you right in your eyes
deceitful and agendaed they cause
stress
tween she and me
and like lonley fools
we take them back might they resatan us
again
Ægte og rigtige kærlighed

Lover number One

National Single Awareness day
She gave me the Card
the night of Valintines dDay
she left me that Night you know?
She was back days later talking about how
lonley Valintines Day really was.
I said nothing.
I said Nothing!

What then he spoke
Verily, they gather to
hear.
Might the rebirth of
the demised be that
Of Christ.
Then the wick shall
Rise as Saints and
Mortors.
That the stories of
Satan shall be heard
What wickedness speaks
the mouths of the sick
who gains not but
habits to be relieved
And toils to refresh
That there beast are
Wild and gamey
And there tougues dumb 
with taste

It Is So Hard To Breath

DEAR Life if i make a mistake
 \again/
  (so i close my eyes) please
    and i cry  where no sound
makes echoes in life
  colors and feelings are 
escaping that canvase
  bleeding hurt knees
i say give me your eyes
so i see and your lips
kissing my hands \
  saving life and no
(of a dozen) promises
  My heart your bluff
your heart all more than
lonely roads we have all
followed     Take a look
  where moonlight falls
in all the small hidden
spaces we place our fears
and hearts    We touch 
ourselves for assurance
  nothing changed but 
again, in the morning 
we are where the room
contains our lonley 
hearts  //so i want to
change and to never see
such a night that i may
never dream a night as
this dreaming night.
