Don'T Be Afraid of the Dark

in the dark
the darkest dark
with not but stars to see
where there is nothing
more than me
in this grain of sand
my soul fly's free

Plop

praise the first begotten sun
and soak in his light
for pure delight 
if you can't take the sun
run in the night
taking the pale mounts light

his name is death
death is his right
the end of your light
and when you meet death
just to his right
your see my flight 

yes i'm a falling star
with everything in sight
piercing so bright
touching your star
turning golds light
these word are my fight

and for the rest of your life you walk as gold on water.

Family Values

they try to push me in the door
a good deed done for a boar

new pants and new shirt
just on night what could it hurt

waiting outside for the end
inside seems dead

the only one not dancing
instead homeward i'm glancing

two hundred feet away
with no wards to say

no need for a ride
just over the hurdle of pride

just one night gone by
one more reason to sigh

just a boy how didn't stop for pictures

The God Killer

hi how are you there
if you listen you will here
there's a whisper on the wind
a cry to heaven you send

god whispers in the winds
to you a message he sends
he there but hes not
in one two many dots

evil he would smite
a glorious delight
bringing the deserving there tie
but absolute power corrupts absolutely 

that path go to where evil fears to go.

This Is My Farwell

so this is my last post 
and i have to thank you all for the support
for sharing with me your kind words
but know i have to go
i have to walk away
the whys i can not say
so i leave with one last piece of wisdom
all beginnings and all ends are the same points

Individualism

why is it so hard
to write the happy
and so easy to pen
the sad

Heaven, Hell Or Freewill

you kneel in church 
unknowingly worshiping the beast
you kneel to the devil
knowingly worshiping the snake
hears the kicker
your acts mean nothing
for you a dog 
and you choose god
for you walk the earth
and you always will
