One

like a cold, blowing wind
coming out of the dark,
i will fight forever.
life,
is better left 
to chance
with it's pound of flesh
it has it's ways
to keep you coming back for more.
i can not change
societies' mind,
but i can try
to turn this train around.
when we want words
all you hear,
is nothing-
realizing now
that there was never anyone there.
when we learn to dance
to mother nature's song,
when we find the things
that they say can not be found-
peace,
will never go away.
in that moment we will all understand,
that we're all better living
as one.

Anymore

my human side
is rapidly changing in me.
within societies reflections,
i am unable to be myself.
depth,
is its own sea of loneliness.
violently,
my demon's are released within me
and my reflection forms
a new sickness-
a gift 
that you can not deny
that everything that you once love
has died.
the work seems harder,
the days seem longer-
heads you win,
tails you lose.
caught in between the jagged edges
of heaven and hell;
where is the girl that i knew years ago?
i have thought about this
for a long time,
the answers should be black and white-
very clear,
for its only the truth that remains.
two can play the game as well,
no more crying
when i think about you...
those years are gone for good.
i got lost
wondering through the diamonds
of your evil eyes-
with time,
i will move on.
within the arms of love,
i will again become strong...
looking for the remains of a spark-
that does not need you
anymore.

A Sad Day

I remember...
the perfect love that you once gave to me.
Yet now,
the thought sends tears rushing to my eyes.
How quickly
life can change its course.
Once,
you filled me,
saving me from my slow death-
and I still can not find peace there.
With you,
I was free,
ever so careless
yet I had so much to believe in.
Now,
the verdict is in
as I go back to my cage of stone;
in the prison that my heart made itself
to greet the maker of morn-
its such a day of loss.
With your presences still lingering with me
making me unable to erase your memory.
Now the rain falls
because the answers i found in you,
turn into lies in your unmade mind.
My soul will remain lost
for it never completely found
what it was sent to this life for.
I gave you my heart
but you ran away
thinking that I was not here anymore.
So now,
it is my turn to speak,
to release what kills me.
With no sympathy or pain
because for you I feel no more.  
I do not need your hand this time
I prefer to save myself
before you drown me too.

I Am Doing Ok

thirty-three years, on my way
back from hell,
but what matters most-
is that i was so close
from being
free from sin,
can't sleep without
keeping my eyes open.
looking up into the night sky
i ask:
"what is love?"
the clock keeps ticking the time away,
keeping me right here waiting,
still keeping it all inside-
trying to hold on;
throwing all the rest away.
with all the mistakes, in the past,  that i have made...
more then one life can take-
i think that i am doing o.k..

My Brother the Soilder

crimson soilder-
such a beautiful life on the line.
how far does obligation go
over and over?
You step up,
my brave fire bird.
If you left me here today
I would always remember you...
the strong one.
Reality i can not change-
the world is falling apart,
I try and not take it so badly
for i know that you;
and many others like you
fight for my freedom.
(such a selfless, nobel act)
for a country that does not care.
I wish I had half your strength-
thus, through your spirit I am free.
May you always fly
at Gods' speed
to get you back home to us all.
until than
we will await your arrival
forever and ever.
