Premium Member The Face of a Hero
Heroes have many faces

Despite their deathlike pallor

The sum of any soldier

Is measured by their valor

The fear they feel in battle

But never ever flinches

Is purely a reflection

Of courage in the trenches

Even with odds against them

Will still fight to their last breath

Ever stalwartly they stand

And march bravely to their death...

Confusion Squeals
thoughts   completely unbidden
burst  beyond consious moments
struggling times overwhelm
threating normal dephts unhidden 

dream  like  haze
unnoticed surface sounds
completely mocking maze
deathlike ressurection abounds

where innocent despair rains
notions squalor admist pain
embittered rattling
betwixt cuddled minds 
battling bemuddled ideals     
 confusion squeals...

Ubiquitous Deathlike White
The harsh season of winter
has its grip upon the land.
Strong gusty winds are blowing,
exacerbating the cold.
Precipitation is snow.
Tons of solid crystals fall.
They lie on the hardened ground.
Lakes and streams are not flowing
Trees are devoid of their leaves.
The ice hangs like stalactites.
Green growth is inhibited.
No flowers found anywhere.
Barren lifeless surroundings.
Ubiquitous deathlike white.
Come in from out of the freeze....

Dead of Night
In the dead of night
I was looking for the light.
Finding nothing but the darkness
Engulfing me and my madness

In the dead of night
I won’t go down without a fight.
Fighting these demons in me
That is struggling to be free.

In the dead of night
I was hoping that I might
Break away from this chain
That bonded me with deathlike pain.

In the dead of night
Everything just doesn’t go right...
In the dead of the night,
Will I ever see the light?...
