Questions spread like cards before me
No answers left for me to see
Each answer locked away inside
Why do I hide only to seek

_________________________________________

A mind in chains
echoes confusion
darkness and pain
fear and illusions

with an earnest wish to escape the din
silence became solace again
_________________________________________

devils are distant
fear is a liar
stomp on the ashes
twist in the fire
run with the broken
roar in the rain
live in a moment
forget the pain

_________________________________________

The sky is black
and the dreamer
is waiting

you scream alone
and play
with your anger

a thousand steps
to climb before morning arrives

_________________________________________

your emotion creeps
through cracks in the mask
a dream of needles piercing
a forgotten heart
some nights cannot escape
a false sincerity

_________________________________________

Up and down
innocence and joy
the gifts of youth
given to all who see
his kind heart
spilling it’s roaring laughter
and bed bouncing
glee
_________________________________________

Beside you in a dark flat field
the stars above can overhear
the whispered truth you reveal
the life you lead without fear
forever near

_________________________________________

Standing on a dire cliff
wolves and wind at my back
I swallow hard
take a breath
turn and launch my attack
a firm resolve to grin and act
