Gone

Depth, deep

Dirty and Unclean

Bluebird, when you flew in the air,
you made me happy singing there -
but now, you don't make a sound,
lying sideways on the ground.

Winter Reaches Out Again

Aching sorrow
for winter tomorrow
colder than dead leaves under frost

feeling bitter
about the winter
when all souls cry out to be lost

Shadowed by that dreary area
That once glistened with gold
The touch of a thousand angels
Could not unhinge this
Darkness

Me and You

When everyone else is dead.... When the sun shines Black... When man kind is dying....There is one thing i want to do.... And its pray for you....

Dead In a Jiffy

Under cover lay they
And in the blink of a jiffy
Fled death from lethal nozzles
And within that jiffy
Like stones
Lay all that lived lifeless.

Such an act of cruelty !
SmilyFace had no enemies we knew of !
The world would forever mourn.

Premium Member A Man of Few Words

He was already a man of few words
but her death left him completely silent 
and bereft
as if she took to heaven with her
whatever few words he had left.

Foolish

I look at my cuts
Can't belive their real
I know in time
that soon they'll heal

It hurts to know
That I was the one
Who did this to myself
God I was so dumb

A Boy In the Rain

A crying child stands
Alone
Wet eyes and trembling hands
Quietly turn to stone

What is the cause?
Who can be blamed?
Time doesn't pause
For a boy in the rain

Premium Member Tears In Washington (Rip Sean Taylor)

Tears are shed in Washington
the news is so sad
the death of one of our own
a tragic moment
reminds us a star can fade
upon Fed Ex field
we will keep his memory

Black Bird

The black bird is in the skies,
Aiming down with dreadful eyes.
Drops its egg from very high,
Soon Hiroshima will die.

Lost

A sea of confusion
faces I have not seen.
faces twisted and
distorted in pain.
Can anyone help
can anyone see?
Is there any hope
of new life for
those who are lost?

Epitaph

Scribbles.
Some pages lie torn.
the remains of
a sandwich lie on a 
carpet worn.
A schwitz-ish body lies
dead
on the floor.
Nothing is happening,
and that was the 
problem.

Skeletons

Empty house
Empty bed
Empty heart
Empty head
Myself rattling
About within
        My skin...
Find the key...Somebody, quick!
So happiness]Can move in
With me
Again!

Erotic sound waves take hold. 
Wonderful sounds all around.
Joyous, happy feelings floating by.
Immunity within, none absorbed.
This is the way it is.
This is the way it always will be

The Raging War

The war rolls on
gasping for redemption
screaming for life,
but all that comes is 
wretched death
isolated in battles
publicized in lies
the raging war rolls on
as the fire
falls to the floor.
