Chaos

Abdicate this bloody throne,

Sons take the reins alone,

Honeyed words from snakes in the grass,

The youngest speaks true but it seems crass,

Banish the truth it offends to hear,

Watch as hope walks out all held dear,

The snake slithers up your spine,

Snaps in half hapless decline,

A warlord who trampled enemies no mercy,

Expects his kin to prove themselves worthy,

Ghosts from the past rise up to claim,

All the riches are sold as well as fame,

Try to retain a fragment of respect,

Those once trusted keep you in check,

Pick apart your flesh while you still live,

Taken for granted all your flesh did give,

One by one the allies disappear,

Till you are confronted by your greatest fear,

Seek refuge in lands once conquered,

Evil sons rally to sow their dishonor,

The clouds loom ominous as death approach,

A wicked wind spawns demon reproach,

Walls tumble as the fortress burns to ash,

Sole survivor with no means to crash,

Madness stricken the enemies will spare,

Desolate dirge to sing in despair,

Apparitions of foes once slain arise,

Tear at your mind like carrion flies,

A beacon of light as the good son takes flight,

Task to reunite with a father in plight,

Armies will rally to seek for blood,

A sniper reaps doom with drowning flood,

The house collapses as everyone dies,

A blind man on the precipice with torn out eyes

Gem

Time of my life I wonder,

Will I ever see end of thunder,

Think back when I had that chance,

As if I was ready at a glance,

Too naive to see pattern delicate weave,

Slipping as always to find brighter byways,

Always drifting ever sifting for that gem,

Us or them a turbulent bitter end,

Eclipse existence with my pen,

Risk to believe why or when,

Drop of a hat with climax zen

Alias

Measure the width of a fallen list,

Add the spice to splice my wrist,

Rotten as it screams for attention,

Ignore the pain I focus intention,

Sight catches a beauty from afar,

Stumble clumsy get hit by a car,

Or a train it seems to smash my dreams,

Obliterate that tiny shred that's left,

Erase existence I laugh at the prospect,

Insane instead I choose to be,

Walk happily as the thoughts lash insanity,

Rock back and forth with a macabre rhythm,

Death is my wingman we travel the living,

Send a greeting but it wilts and dies,

Slash my tires the wheels spark lies,

The road narrows as I swerve off course,

Fight for control but it just gets worse,

Take a breath and assume new identity,

Misdirect preconception reality,

The world is my oyster no denying me

As I sit

Long ago I dealt in sorrow,

Task was clear easy to follow,

The day grows gray the longer I stay,

How strange I think of her still,

Knew so little yet my mind won't relent,

Take for granted all the time I spent,

Her thoughts are whispers evermore,

Dwell on wrongs or rights that soar,

The memory leaves me in a perilous state,

As if I can rekindle the sting of late,

Why must I sit in contemplation,

I ask the meaning of brief elation,

Ever so fleeting but I will never stop feeling

Once upon a death

Arms pinned I wear this jacket,

Threat to self in every facet,

Wear it now with gaping smile,

Cross the mile with ember trial,

Insane of thought I act distraught,

Dwell on have not but not what I've got,

The fire will burn to scorch all I've wrought,

Fester within to consume all my sin,

I see the world with crystal clear vision,

Blind to self with death disease ridden,

Fading faster as the day grows old,

Future unknown as the story is told

Cut

Create a lesson for times of war,

Devotion to duty our spirits soar,

A hero conquers evil in every facet,

Impasses form how will they surpass it,

Circumstance of ill earned enemy,

The epitome of humanity's cruelty,

Frothing tempers a volcanic climax,

Edge of life with bitter attacks,

The truth left lax languid lilacs,

Flimsy at best with brutal perplex,

Stern demeanor dealt deftly cleaver,

Heart is splinter as bodies wither,

Cascade the blood with steel teeth,

Ripping open any hopes beneath,

A slain enemy at your feet

Outland

Subtle link our dreams on the brink,

Fly away to a common destination,

Tales of misfits on tribulation,

One is taken far out to space,

Never to be seen no trace,

Stranded outland of death's embrace,

Those left behind continue the race,

The spark of life will soon blossom,

Diligent duties daunting dim crossing,

Rehash the memory of those we lost,

Infinite price with haunting cost

Upkeep

Rhythm decision of constant numb feeling,

Stake is driven rain brutal misgiving,

Forfeit the object eternal neglect,

Fame through blood bitter prospect,

Courage to purge mortal dirge,

Rake the disease infectious surge,

Fickle the candle of brittle descent,

Flames now rent to cure tyrant,

Kept unclean the river is swept

One & Only

A light so bright I know it's right,

A single look to calm my storm,

When pests sting flesh torn swarm,

I cradle you take me away to space,

Find my place with silk and lace,

Always by my side I will have no other,

Even years pass these feelings I smother,

Uncover innocence a new found wonder,

The fondest memories sate my hunger,

What did I do to deserve this blessing,

Truly I'll never know nor stop guessing

Soak in Slumber

Absent of mind continual state,

Pendulum swings heavy as of late,

Stare at the clock for it stands still,

Bend to my will a stroke of the quill,

Bleed my ink a blood soaked canvas,

Lost in thought as if I planned this,

Falling star comes crashing down,

Tear soaked pillow ready to drown,

Anxiety steams torment familiar sound,

The ocean of emotion horrors abound,

All consuming I gasp for breath,

Scythe is looming harking death

Still Laughing

No matter how long I will endure the song,

Take a breath as it stings for long,

I will eat the flies of disease decay,

To feel the sorrow of death may lay,

Rot away as my time slithers at bay,

A thousand knives tear flesh I fray,

Torn I scorn I languid this way,

Look upon as the gray fills my soul,

A hollow black surge of whimsical fold,

Untold stories of disasters so cold,

A winter of disgrace too void to replace,

I laugh as glass rips apart my face

Forfeit

The shadow I cast will forever outlast,

The things I do as a desolate outcast,

I wander wicked in damp retreat,

Held by shallow and timid by obvious defeat,

I look at this world with childlike wonder,

Till it tears my limbs from tooth asunder,

I wallow the whispers of waking wither,

Whether dark breathes envy of bone deliver,

I stand alone as the devil may cry,

My flesh is torn as I perpetuate the lie,

It takes strength to finally understand,

My life is forfeit as is master plan

Tilt the Scales

A white light so pure inside,

Wicked winds ride to collide,

Swirls of black eddy around in attack,

Taken aback as the reins go slack,

Retract the threat by blood and sweat,

Give what you get even in debt,

Poison trickles slow pollute all I know,

Question reality or what is denied to me,

Eclipse my hopes with nightmares insanity,

They pelt my flesh with stones and sticks,

Crimson tricks wiggle in betwixt,

Hands at my sides I only smile,

Defuse the hate with lack of vile,

The white light glows to repel the darkness,

The corrupt falls away no food I starve this,

Glowing growing brighter every trial,

The scales tilt for good not defile,

Even though that light may dim,

A greater power lies within

Japan

Destiny in the land of the rising sun,

Linked through desire not the only one,

Search for my place maybe outer space,

For just a taste of that sweet face,

Leave for tomorrow commit to follow,

I walk in thought to hope to end sorrow,

Fate seems hollow when seen from below,

Times too mellow I refuse to settle,

I won't give in to those voices that hate,

Derisive in nature stand against stagnate,

This journey takes time even bitter decline,

Hold out for rise luminescent sign,

I will make it mine no matter how long it takes,

Risk high stakes to one day brave quakes,

The earth may tremble but my will be done,

To lay at rest in the land of the rising sun

Mambo

Terror for some others choose to welcome,

The harbinger has come with his bloody knife spun,

Grace period has passed now to reclaim,

Incision in flesh an intangible pain,

The debt owed was too great to bare,

An agent of death immune to care,

Forsake this task when hunter becomes prey,

They took his heart the burden heavy weigh,

On the run a wolf in sheep's clothing,

Too late to absolve resort to loathing,

If one can be saved the disaster stayed,

The cold society repels efforts of morality,

A former friend turns his knife descend,

A stab in the back followed by remorse,

No turning back once tread bloody course

Unsung Hero

Angelic voice I hide from the world,

Unleash it slowly allow unfurled,

Shudder for opinion I hold it high,

If I hear mockery I would die,

Tell a stranger of that buried treasure,

They ask for a sample something to measure,

Refuse to acquiesce debilitating distress,

A look of scorn for that which is forlorn,

Don't mention it if you can't exhibit,

I won't permit those words I must omit,

Reserve the prize for those found worthy,

More meaningful in times of need surely,

A moonlit stroll to console fallen soul,

Cheer up those who have paid a heavy toll,

For if I can't share this gift with the world,

At least I can share it with those few pearls

Frustration is Relative

How to explain my point of view,

Words do no justice what can I do,

No action to back them they fall short,

In one ear out your fist so vicious,

I know all too well this thorny crown,

Composed of lies I can't live it down,

Even if I take it off it leaves a stain,

I grow insane as spoken words wane,

Throw them back a relentless attack,

Laced with angry emotions no slack,

Turn your back when I return the lash,

Tell me again what you think is wrong,

It's not black and white the color of song,

The shades of gray have infinite layers,

To understand is futile as your logic tapers,

Too narrow is your point of sight,

Would it be so bad if for once I were right

Digging

Sitting again those thoughts seep in,

Whispering voices clouded with sin,

Emanating somewhere deep I believe,

A force of emotion meant to deceive,

The demon's claws I try to remove,

It tears parts of me and leaves a groove,

Bleeding profusely it begs for relief,

Just a little more feed the belief,

Tomorrow I will ignore I swear,

Cast aside the safety left bare,

Now it's decided I can commence,

It makes little sense I can be so dense,

Relentless pursuit of that hidden root,

Buried below the surface I will find it soon,

If I keep digging in the light of the moon,

Sheltered by the lunar I can hide in plain sight,

Rip away those reservations of what I thought was right,

Until I gouge my heart from my chest to be free from plight

Red Desert

The sun beats me down this dry desert,

I seem to have crashed it all seems to hurt,

Engine idle as my helmet fills with blood,

The gates of hell closing in doom flood,

Choke for air still in shock despair,

Fasten too tight can't grip lose sight,

A numb crawls into my soul to claim it's toll,

Slump forward as the darkness draws in,

Awoken by a voice as the harps beckon,

Critical choice to spark action,

Free from the ghastly suffocation,

Gasp for air as blood soaks section,

Struggle to stay awake I want to sleep,

Arms folded as my head rolls onto sleeve,

Jerk to attention I don't want to die,

If I succumb I could never see the sunrise,

Strangers pass they pause to see,

I touch my head my skull greets me,

Stitch these wounds and not too soon,

Let the memory fester a dark cocoon
