Point Blank
Violent crime
Held at gunpoint
The cold steel of progress
Inflicts fear and loathing
In her heart and mind
Forward momentum
Faster than the bullets
That load this weapon
Quick to bring destruction
To the land, sea and air
Panic becomes hatred
As she faces her tormentor
Staring down the barrel
Of cruel and greedy intention
She finds a way to turn the tide
As water from her oceans
Brings rust to polished metal
Brother Sol joins the fight
Melting metaphorical weaponry
With his vengefully heated rays
Progress at the expense of nature
Takes it’s inevitable turn
Manmade solutions not equal
To forces of Earth, Moon, and Sun
As all goes eerily quiet and subdued
Mother nature has wrought justice
Swiftly upon purveyors of destruction
Seas rose up, and the skies opened
While the Sun burned in it’s image
From point blank range
Madman’s Hands
At the hands of a madman
Cultivating a bleak reality
From stark raving insanity
Wringing dire circumstance
From hearts and minds
As if from a blood soaked rag
Always carrying with him
The lightning and thunder
Waking us from our slumber
Snapping us into his grim world
Harvesting darkness from shadows
Squeezing color from rainbows
Leaving ominous dark clouds
To form on every gray horizon
Ever increasing the chance of rain
Silver linings nonexistent
Under watch of evil genius
Strings pulled form tiny nooses
Adorning the necks of innocents
As wild things come to play
Severe are the consequences
For our insubordination
Betrayal of body and soul
Damnation of self reliance
As the strings are pulled taut
At his every beck and call
We line up like cattle in a chute
Begging our saviours mercy or
To be mercifully led to slaughter
Either way ending a relentless
Onslaught of dire human condition
One thing so evidently clear
Realized far too late for change
Still must be acknowledged
With clarity and consciousness
Along with humble recognition
He is me, as I am him
As you are he, and he is us
Victims of our derangement
Slaves to our misdeeds
As there is only one direction
To point accusing fingers
As stated above……
He is me, as I am him
As you are he, and he is us
He is ALL of us
Styx (Forever Together)
Panic stricken defines our victim’s calling
Into depths unknown and quickly falling
Frantic memories emerge while thinking
Pictures painted on a mind that’s sinking
She struggles against what she knows best
Devils tears torture with promised unrest
Darkness so terrifying that it truly burns
As a nightmarish reality twists and turns
The waters of Styx are bathed in hells fire
Set ablaze by a Demons ceremonial pyre
Not one but two now descending at speed
Waters get darker where spirits are freed
Together forever was the deal they made
Blood on parchment so quickly betrayed
Forever together very soon they shall be
Devils promise of forever; not forever free
So now they are together forever it seems
In an ocean of torture, a sea of bad dreams
Reaching his love, once again they embrace
But all love is gone, only grief in it’s place
Lucifer’s ruthless game of deceit is at hand
While river consumes his prey on command
Drowning them all in sins of lust and desire
Delivering them to this infinite ocean of fire
Surrealife
Colors vibrant within each moonlit night
After sundown such beauty to behold
Twilight paints life in brilliant light
As we wait for grand mysteries to unfold
Tricks on the eyes eternally played
As spirits in the wind come to dance
The palette of Mother Nature displayed
Through silver light we are held in trance
These same things never seen under sun
Dreamlike visions disappear at dawn
Daylight chases as apparitions turn to run
Mesmerizing specters return once Sol is gone
Bathing in the beauty held inside the dark
Colorful abundance in vast and vivid array
Whispering voices in the breeze hit the mark
With the silent sound of color to portray
In the light such sights are impossible
As reality is bleached by suns beams
The night makes all things so believable
Illuminated truth as Luna’s light streams
Inside each night is held new optimism
So we return to our Mother Natures stage
Gazing upon miracles cast from her prism
In hopes of glimpsing keys to a new age
Toxic Shadows
As one who claims to be a dweller in the dark
It may be odd I would raise this harsh reality
But it is glaringly evident that the comfort I find
Perceived only in certain kind of dark obscurity
It seems that two kinds of darkness must exist
One is to beware of and the other to behold
This my obsidian provider of peaceful serenity
Carries with it warmth, knowing not the cold
A dangerous game is played within the shadows
Because the evil inside is a master of disguise
The relief found while hidden away from the light
Should only be sought by the wary, strong and wise
A Demon’s game of lies and truths to confuse
Bringing us to our knees before false accusers
Tricking us to believe in much lesser self worth
Making us easier prey for our so many abusers
It’s true I have found fulfillment in eternal shade
I am not fooled by the Demon’s tricks any longer
Laughing at his attempts to see me to my ruin
Wicked twists and turns only make me stronger
