Promises

Softly, deftly
Night caressed me once again
I sat, drinking the ink from my pen.
What’s once more,
when the glass is always half empty?
What’s once more,
when my screams into the dark
are met with no echo…

Tyrannos

Perpetuating misconceptions detrimental to reality
Progressive illness overlooked in favour of brutality
Promoting violence in men, a dark denial of morality
Lethality becomes legality, a sickening mentality
We’re proud to see

Addict’s Prayer

I pray for clarity
I pray for hope
I pray for the desire to relinquish the dope
I can’t cope
And every time I try and put it down it screams out nope nope nope
The war on Terror’s going on inside my head
But the Terror’s me, me trying to kill me dead
Always leaving something unsaid

Lover’s Lament

He picked up the pieces

Scattered shore to shore

Raven crying, nevermore

What ever for? He intonated

As heart in chest it undulated

Weeping willows, tree of sorrow

A brighter better new tomorrow

Silent sighs
That come in threes
I count them out
With shaky knees
Don’t fold
Don’t falter
Or try to alter
Still, the frigid cold
