Aftermath

 

your cars still parked out front
yet your not even close to here
and dammit the clothes in the house
leave your smell in the air

iam looking at the aftermath
when i see our photos on the floor
when it dawns on me
Baby were worth fighting for

i see inside that broken mirror
a reflection of all my mistakes
well babe i now swear
no longer will i take and take

now iam looking at myself
iam looking back again
trying to figure out
how we can make this a win

i fell asleep to our favorite song
dreaming of your smile
waking up felling wronged
sobriety…. its been awhile

but i will do more than just that this time
i ll move to the corners of the earth
if only the chance to read you this rhyme
and bestow you the love I know that your worth.

Beyond the Grave

I wish you could see the way I do
and feel this hidden world around;
i wish you could touch the angels
and hear his glorious voice abound.

for then you would understand me
and I would in turn forever be with you;
then you would finally make begin to realize
loving you was all that I tried to do

I see the patterns across these days
encryption’s behind a hidden realm;
the darkened passages of another life
Reveal your soul was always hell bound

Now is time to open up your tired eyes
Stand and fight for Truth till end of days
Know though physically I am not at your side
My everlasting love flourishes from beyond the grave

Fighting through

Just another time, Iam left behind,
used then cast aside, and left to die,
just move on through , while I ponder the truth,
forget me now , please dont ask how ,
just care no more , and settle this score,
watch me break on out , i made death route ,
move on to , I let go of you ,
tears all dry , now i fly ,
away from this , I will be missed ,
to a higher calling , my creator is watching,
down a better path, just do the math ,
iam rising up , once i was ever enough ,
see me soon , in the light of the moon,
broke no more , I repaired my core ,
and with the past behind , I end this rhyme

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

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

Mental Break

 

Clarity reveals a truth once denied

Iam merely half the soul I once became

the years of sin i did  confide

have left me filled with deepest shame

 

Heaven seems closer than the man  I once was

Empty Eyes observe mirror light shimmer as I think

am i just this empty thrull living without a cause

or a lost soul about experiencing another mental break

Sin

 

Puff the bubble again today
Fuck the pain all away
do what it takes to feel alive
after all its how I thrive

Lust, gluttony, and pride abound
Just attempt to blend with the crowd
consume it all till away it fades
After all its how Iam made

step on those in the way
laugh at those on knees to pray
take from the poor to feed your greed
after all I am formed of need

take one last hit, Feel free again
another dance, a twisted spin
when all is dead I will finally win
After all my name is sin
