The Beast of the Cave
When I was young, and adventure routine,
With excitement and newness still unforeseen
I was eager to spread my wings to the world
And seek more adventures as those wings unfurled

Within my long travels I happened to meet
Two...

I know things will improve and happiness will spread,

I know appreciation, gratitude, and energy will spread.

Three Steps To

The stone laid plans 
erected in the Age of Man
are starting to cave in
Their sky towers scraping the blue stratosphere
has begun to crumple
under the oppressive weight of floating spore fear

It’s fungi clear as a glowing...

Devine Mandness
I woke up one morning; the air had an orange glow,
It made me feel quite strange, I didn’t know where to go.
I went for my breakfast and tripped on the stairs,
Falling towards the bottom, my...

The Lusitania (Part One)
More than twelve hundred souls
Meet their watery grave.
German U-boat patrols
Spark a fatal shockwave.

This echo of the past
Resounds throughout history.
Rousing war unsurpassed,
Deadly shroud of mystery.

The empire aids Cunard,
Loaning millions in pounds.
Lord Inverclyde toils hard
On deceptions unsound.

They...

At this point in the tale, a happy ending should be pending,
But readers now are more demanding,
And so, I'll tweak a bit the plot.

That sent a shockwave...

sliding screen door screeches, pigeons scatter
thump of wing against breast, shockwave breeze
more frequent than in the past, shimmering necks
soundtrack squirrel zig-zags, new-green lawn
perches like the pigeons, await my departure

Made of Misery
Shuffling along
with the rest of the herd,
noticing the nuances
of the livestock,
slowly feeling 
the numbing pulse,
       shake through my body,
twisting my soul
to match the cull.

It almost

Concerns have arisen as an outcome of a wavering climate.

Noise
Such a small place, so much noise.

Finding it so hard to maintain my poise.

Somebody save me! Save me from this cacophony.

Treat me with nothing less than a sweet symphony.

It may be a smallville but it...

Go Back To Sleep

You just had another nightmare,
and you’re trembling
under the covers so scared
But then the devil says:
why are you awake,
go back to sleep!
Return to that REM place
where it’s safe ... 
no more wakey wake!
What was it that...

The open road echoes his soundtrack
Going double platinum with each new track
His footsteps felt for miles like a shockwave
He’s the love of music we all desperately crave

Tops the charts could never keep him down

Shock Wave
Something that's seemingly so 
unprofound,
Like a distance divided by time,
Is becoming a barrier that has me 
unbound,
As I leave it trailing behind...
Once I am able to get enough speed,
Increasing and gaining momentum,
The physics that own...

Untimed
Untamed
In the face of a thousand horsepower
Up rises the man of the hour
His passion peaked 
His focus tweaked
Raw

He spins and loops
Whirlpools each lap
Egos over rev
An enchanted V-twelve
The archangel 
Fallen to enthral 
Thrusts his sword through...

As I slowly leave the ground,
By some force I cannot see,
But I know it comes from me...
The sky above has left the air,
Standing still so I can stare,

Brave
Trere stands a man who's brave. Had many close shaves, wasn't at all afraid, not even of the grave.

He was a total knave, would always misbehave because he was downright depraved.

He would rant and he...

Where once stood your altar
Memory haunts me like a headless horse
A broken man with an empty centre 

It’s been a decade and some tears
Since forever was lost to the winter

Pseudo Love

spawning threads of fairy tales
and ephemeral happy endings

ice rushing through veins

I lift my veil of shame

Drag blade into coliseum gates red,

adore my frame as a scarlet knight bred.

Shockwave from footfall rumbles
It’s a massacre

Shots in the Dark
The stars shoot straight, no curve balls, they light us up,
we feel the silver bullets ricocheting inside our eyes,
even when they are closed.

There's is no such thing as low caliber starlight,
