Tears

im dreadfully sad
wondering how to escape
tears to my angels

Cycles

cycles of pitiful emotions
do we know the minds of the hurt and lost
 euphoric melancholy for some
a look into the minds of the so called brave
is it criminal or insanity
the broken arrow that wields the bondage of the meek
couragous is none
cross the borders of weekness
and weild your own sword
cut the cord that binds you 
and follow none but thy own heart and soal
find your heirophant

Hateful Words

My heart is bleeding 
with words slicing through
the hatefulness 
that you have withdrew
 
Mending the wounds 
I find hard to come
a heart that was broken
that was meant for one

Do you not understand
what your words can do
breaking a spirit 
you can never undo

I'm drowning in sorrow
wishing to re welcome my grace 
I can only now pray for the angels
to take me away from this darkened place

The Path

Dreary days and endless nights
we walk the path of the unknown
cold and alone,minds filled with wonders of what's beyond
 Wrapped tightly in sheepskin and babies in papooses 
close to mommas heart
 The elderly in poorly constructed carriages,illness sets in
along with the agony of leaving them behind
 Sadly we are forced to move ahead
to a destination feared to have no end
 No time to bury our loved ones
or time for our shamans works
just walking the path of the unknown
 With bleeding feet and broken spirits
and fear of no survival
 we can only pray that we can be strong
and the gods will forgive us for leaving those behind
and there spirits moved beyond
 No one will ever know the tears that were sent
nor the pain that we endured
 We can only teach today
and hope the people on that trail
who were lost and survived
will forever be remembered in everyones heart.

Why

We fight ,we cry
we hurt,we fly
apologies may come
and love is rekindled
only to fall in wars grace
you pray,you plead
you scream tour need
hollaring hatefullness
threatening all
your blamed for everything
driven to insanity
all to feel the end that gives 
your hate, your love,your life
 Why

Shadow #2

Like a lion on the prowl
in the bush waiting for their pray

      A Shadow I Am
 
 The excitement 
on a babies first birthday
      
      A Shadow I Am

 The bond of marriage
a blissful love
       
       A Shadow I Am

 A crying friend
caressed by all
         
       A Shadow I Am

You can't see me
You can't love me
you can't hear me
You can't touch me
You can't feel me
You can't hold me
You can't celebrate me

                    FOR A SHADOW I AM

Fate

an emptiness lives deep in my soul
never to have you here to hold
missing the way we laughed and joked
knowing what's said when no one spoke
never living in any fear
knowing each other was always near
two hearts binded in a special way
giving each other a reason to love each day
 An emptiness lives deep in my soul
feeling my life is now so cold
another has taken you away
leaving me lonely everyday
split our hearts into two different worlds
fate has plucked us two new chords
playing a song our hearts will bring
knowing together we once again will sing.

Sorry

a hard cold mistake
created sadness in my heart
leaving lonely feelings
that we have grown apart
the words could never explain
how badly that I feel
only that I'm sorry
and I hope our hearts can heal
I love you more than anything
my feelings are so true
I only hope you forgive me
and start our lives anew

Shadow

Darkness covers my heart
 As an eclipse causes blackness
 The evil that overcomes
 Like Lucifer on his reign
 The wolf cry's for the loss of the good
 The sparrow fly's to spread his evil
 Come my dear if you dare
 Dwell in my heart and see if you still care
 Flowers wilt as I walk pass
 People shiver at a moments glance
 The sword i wield to cut me free
 All so no one can really see
 The darkness that I've become
 The clouds cry for the gods to know
 And flames come from below
 Like an erupted volcano
 That is exactly what I am
 What you seem to have made me
 The dark ash that takes your breath
 The heat that seals your fate
 I no longer glow like the sun
 I now am but a shadow in your world


                    Can You Find Me!!!!
