Letter to God

Dear God

 I wish u could just let me take back time
I would even give back this gift of rhyme
If only to have chance to turn away
 From that fucking needlepoint that day

A lil kiss a pinch and sting
 Ball and chain like a wedding ring
 See at first it was like pure love 
Nothing before took me to skies above 
We danced and partied all damn day 
nightime it was the same thing 

A covenant under black masse
 Rituals and enchantments she cast 
My temple decaying its walls collapsing 
Giving tithes for synthetic blessing
 And the cost went skyward each time
Till the barter became my own lifeline


bathed my holylight in carnal sin 
She separated family and friends
Convinced me I didn't need my job 
Motivations she slowly robbed 
Withered away and confused 
Left empty and burnt minds fuse 
And yet I beg her each every day
For her love to still stay 

Well now its time for last sacrifice
A dose to Rival a Demons blight 
Lay out my arm and let it bleed.
pain and pleasure my last creed 
Final beat, breath, losing sight
Dear god please take my soul tonight

Dissapoitingly yours,

A Touch of Heaven =Revision=

I spent some time in heaven
Oh the power it did behold
I awoke to find this world is hell
To the devil it was sold
Bartered cost of luxury
Just an eternal soul
Gladly marketed to the masses
Traded more than gold

I seek another voyage
Shelter from this infernal land
Just another dance or spin
Upon the clouds i’ll stand
The ferryman raised his toll
But no cost be too grand
Gladly give him all I have
Just to touch an angel’s hand

Come with me and I’ll show you
The beauty contained within
A shot from cupid’s arrow
And you’ll forget all past sin
Just one touch is all need
To hear heaven’s harps and violin
And search its perpetuous rooms
In hopes to find our creator within

Once you’ve felt that power
And Heard the music play
You look at the world below
And throw it all away
One more touch of heaven
An escape from worlds decay
Seeking the guarded secret
Of how to here forever stay

Deep Thoughts

In a society immersed in “Reality TV”, Sex, Idol Worship, materialism, mindless consumption and Greed is it any wonder why nearly everyone I know is Fake, Sociopathic, Narcissistic, Self indulged acquaintances masquerading around as real friends????

Failures Success

I am the veil forever torn
I comfort my many  Failures
diversity in adversity

i dont fear being an outcast
a vagabond aimlessly wondering
a mere shadow in a dimlit room
an echo in the deepest caverns.

I fear acceptance into the commune
Becoming a leader for the lost
Centerstage on the road to stardom
A defiant Voice left for Martyrdom

I fear Success

To late

since he could remember

that very first memory

all he had ever wanted

ever dreamed about

was fading into the void

blackness all consuming

the shadow in an alley

then as it came to pass

existence fading in this realm

fear gripped his soul

and he shouted out

Lord where be thee light

Silence

New Catchline and Comic

Chapters of Goodbye

Why can’t anyone see
Through this veil surrounding me
See the emptiness inside
through smiles behind I hide

Why is my reflection so blurred
The future hopelessly obscured
A time bomb to explode
can someone crack my code

The burden and dispair
Disappearing into thin air
Another chapter another goodbye
one more reason to cry

Bury it and silence all
When will I upon be called
My destiny can’t be this
a washout in failures abyss

Smash the mirror pieces fall
reflection shows a empty thrall
The dark sides  angered screams
Clawing at the glasses seams

release it all over
Freedoms once do over
to escape the chains
and heal the deep pains

A new path i seek to explore
Another lifetimes book full of lore
A new story to cast in dye
No more chapters of goodbyes

The passenger

i thought i heard your voice

echo through the hall

i thought i caught a glimpse of you

dancing at the ball

i swore i smelled your scent

on the street late last night

i felt your calming touch

keeping me from that fight

i know your more than memory

but a guardian of mine

to you i give my thanks

and dedicate this rhyme

Shadow in the night

I was here in the beginning
and I will exist through the end
I have gave you all worldy pleasures
masked in the filth of sin

I gave you a voice of justification
in times you seemed on edge
I pushed you in a chosen path
away from the righteous ledge

iam the ever pressing feelings 
you get throughout the day
I will watch you give him all
after you burn all love away

I have aided many artist
Like Hemingway and Edgar Allen Poe
I have taken over the actors 
performing your favorite shows

I am often asked who I am
and my purpose in this region
" I am the voice of many a evil
and my name is LEGION "

Fading to black

As the light fades in this decaying life
I feel the all too familiar pain and strife
Bellowing from the undertakers glare
Forces pause and reflection upon that haunting stare

And I rest with the haunted wisdom, inside iam dying…
Far from the Lord’s side Iam left here crying
Far from Grace my soul settles in
Bathed in the filth of the skins selfish sin.

Crying out for understanding I feel the heat
As the flames consume all that lies underneath
Begging at last for mercy from this pain
Offering my soul for the lords gain

As I see the hand stretch out from a light
A battle rages on, infernal darkness against holy might
And all I see fades to that eternal black
As I succomb and all fades to black, I hear the demons unrighteous laugh
