A Ghost In a Shadow

A place between dreams, of sentiments to quell.
Fragments of silence, pierce the living hell.
Lost are those who know, the cold and dark of time.
True substance of horror, cruel emptiness to hide.
Leave me sorrow now, go calmly from despair.
Slowly into daylight, quiet with out fear

The Gate

Bring us closer, nearer to the flame
blow out that light and pass the only gate.
Follow me to the dark place of screams
escaping hope ...
you'll never find those things.

Beasts of the Night

Fear not those thing's and beasts of the night.
fear not closed eyes and twisting shadows.
Be still one's mind of all chilling grief.
Be still great torment ripping underneath.

Spring Fire Poem

A flow of afternoon wind's cool as they step inside
cordially leaving its warming sun.
Beaches throw back subtle waves,
forgotten when in winter caves.
Friend's gather at long wooden tables built from 
surrounding trees as fire roasts this evenings feast.
Laughter is abundant 
while we sit under stars of a clear night sky.
Any problems are far away,
they seem lost and hard to comprehend.

For Her

He know's there is no heaven 
and see's how this life ends.
Waking up each morning
He loses her again

Black Hearts

Not yet awake, nor at home
theses are the places shadows want to stay.
So let those demons arch their wings
and join in the battle of the black hearts

Moon Freezing Moon

Freezing moon, shifting light
separates thin branches.
Creeping mist, rolling fog
rises slowly upwards.
Howling wolf, frozen lake
paralyzing fire.
Freezing moon, shifting light
under midnight skies.

Pain of Its Cruelty

My own restless thought's
wear down a fragile mind
reckless and without intent
until every peace died.
Not among the loss
nor the pain of its cruelty
but here in this seclusion
finding solace built for me.
