Fall of Man

soft breeze blow by
looking up at the sky so blue
where is heaven and is it really true
religious turmoil has destroyed the 
children of men
some say they are righteous and others 
live lives of sin
breeze picks up as time stand still
what gives any men the right to kill
judgements come to us all at the end of 
our time
breeze suddenly changes to it devastating 
wind
causing men to fall and trees to bend
dust blinds their eyes and takes away the 
sunlight
believers and non believers now kneel 
side by side
pleading with him and explaining how 
hard they tried
their excuses and prayers will now not be 
heard
all they needed was to follow the 
instructions of the lord thy god's word
pestilence in famine will cover the land
this will be a great fall of man.

Blind

consumed with addiction
blinded by depression
what is this obsession and why haven't I 
learn my lesson
only he knows my transgressions
lighting grows dim and vision is blurred
the blindness has set in
so into the darkness I creep
trying to find the way day after day
I know what is there and what can be if 
only I could see

Cherish Every Moment

Stars in the sky like grains of sand 
pouring through an hour glass in open 
hands. Slipping straight through the 
cracks going straight to the ground and 
no one reacts..  Each gain a single 
instance in time. A memory so easily 
forgotten a dream so easily left behind.  
Trying to keep the light that tries to darken 
the mind. A black hole that absorbs each 
star like dream. Slowly eating away the 
glisten and gleam. To give up and forget 
feels like the easiest way. Then start again 
another day.

Hoping For Greatness

Forcing us down a narrow path
Array of happiness all around us
A barrier of pain keeps moving us forward
Darkness in front and no way back of us
Hoping that every step will lead us to a 
way out
Looking left or right would give us a great 
time
But something greater pushes us to 
another life

Mindless Rambling

mind gone there's no more credibility
unable to accept any responsibility
trust is lost when will we find the closing 
cost
have no fear push those away who want 
to draw near
the temptation is great when there's 
nothing but hate
mentally controlled by forces unknown 
just want to be left alone 
continually being drug back like a train 
coming off track
an example must be set but it's so hard 
living with so much regret
knowing the future seems so bleak gotta 
find one more winning streak
only worry is letting others down the 
burden of holding the crown
identity has been misplaced along with all 
natural taste
thoughts are screaming into the ears 
mistakes made throughout the years
when will this storm end like a message 
that won't send
rains bring in floods of unrest and all the 
doubt fueled by this unwanted guest
never ending thoughts of heaven and hell 
wanting so bad to just hear the bell
physically asleep but sub consciously 
awake trying to find the right combination 
of pills to take
bury all the feelings within like writing a 
letter but don't know where to begin
just so tired of this rambling and all this 
mindless gambling

Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Just your smell brings a million thoughts 
to my mind,
When you speak you try to sound so 
condescending,
Your soul seems so empty towards me 
like we never had any history,
Why has forgetting come so easy for you,
Blood, sweat, and tears for you,
Giving up on my own dreams for you,
Would have laid down this very life for 
you,
The misuse of my heart and feelings 
saddens me to the core,
Selfishness and lack of concern just simply 
astounds me,
What more could I have possibly given to 
make you happy,
If only I had known happiness cannot be 
made but has to be found,
I always had mine but you had not found 
yours yet,
Never admitting this to me I hope you do 
regret,
A future that looked so promising with 
positive flow,
The existence I had create was only for us,
Brought to an end on lies and deceit,
Now all destroyed how can I rebuild in all 
this rubble.

Inanimate Object

cold and steely with no mind
smooth but rough at the same time
no control over the damage caused
needed for protection 
but lusted after for the power to rule

In Time

The times that bind

Grind on the mind

And crumble away in time

Filling the Void

How will I ever fill this void,
Trying to replace you to soon is a mistake,
That I will dare not make,
New ones come and go,
But its just to fill this empty space,
Learning to relive alone with time,
Is the only to fix this soul.

The Spider and the Fly

Bound by the soul through love in the 
good times and pain in the hard times,
Trying to unravel and be free like a fly in a 
spiders web,
Just one more thrust should break him 
loose but there always seems to be one 
single stand that keeps him binded in this 
deadly noose,
The spider ever so slowly inches closer to 
her suffering prey,
Knowing this will surely be the last 
moment the fly will ever see the light of 
day,
Fighting for his life now the fly becomes 
more and more confined in his soon to be 
tomb,
This will surely be his imminent doom,
Just one look into the spiders eyes causes 
the fly to be paralyzed,
Almost as if  he hypnotized by her 
Splender,
He realizes there is no escape as she 
begins to reel him in,
He now feels her beginning to devouring 
his soul,
He has given up and most definitely lost 
all control.
