Edward Schmitz Poem
A Captivating Rose
A rose's petals are tender to touch
The delicate nature is pridefully pure
That blazing beauty entices the eyes
While their thorns may leave you sore
They hold a scent of carnal passion
A deep perfume that dreams of love
They dare reveal their hearts, like fashion
That crimson glow is too beloved
A rose will drive you mad with envy
And transform your mind with greed and sin
They will grasp your heart and soul
As those thorns slowly sink in

Edward Schmitz Poem
Lullaby
Hush now sweet angel and slowly drift away
As night has taken the light from the day
So rest now my angel and dream of a land
With flowers like oceans and meadows like sand
Play there sweet angel and forget all your fears
Let laughter replace all the pain and the tears
Sleep my sweet child in night's quiet peace
Let go of your troubles, all sorrows release
Hush now sweet angel and slowly drift away
As night has now taken the light from the day
So rest now my angel and dream of a land
With flowers like oceans and meadows like sand

Edward Schmitz Poem
A Baptism in Blood
When tragedy cuts clean
through your hopes and your dreams
like a razor through flesh
All that's left is a mess
Your blood pools on the floor
Taking breath is a chore
Nothing left worth the fight
We reach out to the light
In the cold grasp of hell
Should we give our farewell
To this world and this life
With the edge of a knife
All the lies that we give
for the lives that we live
With this habit we feed
We're just chasing the need
Down through the rabbit hole
At the cost of your soul
And yet, why should we care
When there’s nothing left there
With that last shred of hope
Long since traded for dope
I let out one last laugh
As I slide in the bath
With those demons at bay
The whole world melts away
And with my final breath
I'll be flirting with Death

Edward Schmitz Poem
The Loom of Breksta
Quivering tongues writhe and race
Whispers fortell her cool embrace
Her touch so soft a gentle breeze
A pleasing caress to russel the leaves
The land reborn before my eyes
Filled with dark and foreign skies
An offer come to set me free
My heart to pound, my mind to flee
Claim the beauty of this night
Beneath her silver enchanted light
Embrace the soft and flowing breeze
Adopt the rhythm of the trees
To dance beneath her silver glow
My bitter sense of time will slow
The gentle night like myth and mist
The light of day will steal her kiss
Unfinished dreams leave cruel regrets
Unyielding love one soon forgets
The night my dreams our love her loom
This mournful morning’s come too soon

Edward Schmitz Poem
A Crafty invitation
Cut him open, just go nuts
Reach inside and pull out his guts
Cut out his eyes, cut out his nose
Work your way down as you go
Use a little ingenuity
And cut him good for all to see
Don’t be afraid to make a mess
Join the pumpkin carving contest

Edward Schmitz Poem
Neon Night
The city dreams in neon lights
Quietly hiding our secret lives
This changing world, a hidden hell
The worker ants with human shells
The city's servants smiling slaves
The thinkers cower in their caves
Electrical hearts told to beat
Mechanical life; human defeat
The soul of freedom gladly sold
Our happy lives a tale untold

Edward Schmitz Poem
The labyrinth
Wrapped up in my web of lies
There is nothing I truly trust
Corrupted by what I despise
This heart has turned to dust
I am lost within myself
Trapped in this labyrinth of lies
Blind and numb to who I am
Too long I'd cower and hide
What path remains unbroken
Which door can set me free
From deep within this labyrinth
This labyrinth within me

Edward Schmitz Poem
The Craft
One must die to be reborn
From witch's rite the soul is torn
Baptized in the flames of death
Then live again from magic breath
A witch's soul has seen beyond
And I have grasped that broken dawn
So I invoke this binding spell
Send my foes to burn in hell
Let their dance be one to see
With voices pure from agony
And let the world witness my wrath
Light their dreams with hell's hot bath
And show them sights that braise the soul
Let them know this witch's role
And warn the ones that come my way
To cross this witch, what price they pay

Edward Schmitz Poem
Asleep in the Snow
I can't live the way I wanna
I just live the way I can
Though I can't say you're gonna
I just wish you'd understand
In this life there are winners
And losers all the same
But in this pool of sinners
I'm a fool who feeds the flame
If time could heal the broken
Maybe we could learn to grow
But dreams are just delusions
In a field of frozen snow
To rest amongst the snowflakes
To dream of warmth and spring
Numb to life and numb to strife
Just numb to everything

Edward Schmitz Poem
Doubt
This poets night is masked in lies
The day that comes my sight despise
Awake to dream to write to scheme
The words I clean refine and preen
Forlorn the days when poets fight
A pen like light revealed the night
Blunt yet sharp both bright and dark
The art alive so real so stark
My back now bent my head now bald
This pen now dull the writing scrawled
Is it empty thoughts that fill these lines
Have we lost our muse our wits our spines
