the sun has banished
darkness has swept in
monsters have risen
now,
it's time to feed the demons

Where shall
We find wisdom
To silence
The demons of mars
Through this
Canon of love
Wisdom captured
This lonely star

There's worse things

a pared down poet
stripped of hubris
at peace with myself
and the demons at bay.

lights up my way, as i pick
up the jewels 1.2.3

Hunted by my past
My soul is bound and chained
Running while in place
Mind's crevices a playhouse
For the demons in my mind

Distant volcano vents bedim 
the ever-changing azure welkin 
Drunk off demons carousing amuck 
in my metaphysical crepuscule

Footprints are washing away.
Snakes uncoil,
Demons fly.
Save yourself,
No one is getting out alive.

The dead are singing
You're cut off from the living
Dancing with demons
You'll find no tomorrow in
Broken records of sorrow

That which I remained within,
Letting no one in:
For fear I may never win
These wars against my demons.

Giving praise for saving me once again.

The Light

The light that Enlightens the darkness for every lost soul must get tired sometimes,
For even I become weary and appease my demons..

Zealots Be Warned

Not politically
correct
Or socially

I curse upon
your demons
And damn
— your wanton souls

To beat your demons
And their burdens of darkness
Stop indulging them,
Walk away from those battles,
So that you may choose your own

Hell Sent

Flames from my back
Demons in my pack
A mission to complete
With guarantees not to be beat
To drive man mad
What better goal to have?

I Don'T Cut To Feel

I don’t cut to feel
My pain is
All gone
I’ve dealt with my demons
Every day
From dusk
To dawn
I’m still alive
But barely breathing

i mumble on
it comes out weak

i labor hard
my demons squeak
i try holding them in
but then i tweek

The demons always come at night
but oft, they dwell, until the dawn
or stay the day without invite;
“till one of us first moves the pawn.

Fatigue

The demons of slumber
awaken a hunger
for the resting of my soul
sweet night has come
with the days work done
now my body pays the toll

perpetual smile
lifts up others constantly
wanting the world to feel joy
keeping her demons a secret
well hidden under her happiness mask

Tied To the Train Tacks

Tell me that you think I'm Special,
While I'm hog-tied to the trestles
As I await the train to crush my pain-
Too many Demons have I wrestled!
