I scream

I scream as the darkness unhinges me
Petrifies me
Stupefies me
To the love and the beauty I lack

I cry as the blackness creates me
Defines me
Entwines me
Trapped in its inviting thorny crown

I shout as the nothing deceives me
Captures me
Enraptures me
From the truth I should live

I shriek as the empty attacks me
Invades me
Pervades me
Sedating my heart and my soul

I sing as the void comforts me
Accepting me
Protecting me
From the evil my world has become

I Walk A Lonely Path

I Walk A Lonely Path

From nothing I came
And to nothing will I return
Between these an eternal agony of existing
Bearing me onward
Towards oblivion

A nobody I was
A nobody I will be
Lost in this wilderness of being
Reminding me always
Of my failure

Born nowhere
I will die nowhere
Alone along many paths have I stumbled
Unguided, unknown
Unwanted

When I Am Here No Longer

When I Am Here No Longer

When I am here no longer
Grieve not for I am nothing
But if a memory of me comes unbidden
Haste you to that great oak
That has at times so gently guarded us
And spread its shady limbs above our souls
Then sit you down against that hoary wrinkled trunk
And view again those verdant fields
Where often dancing larks on wing set flight
And cautious deer do snuggle in swelling grass
And when winds warm whisper
Your ruddy cheek so tenderly kisses
Silent hold your remembrance of me within
And know that I am near
At last at peace beside you
And tear not that I am gone
When I am here no longer

You

You

In the cool evening air,
I think of you.
In the still light of day,
I think of you.
In my times of trial,
I think of you.
In the blackest night,
I think of you.

And when my time of freedom comes,
 I will love you.

As I need you now.

Traitor

Traitor

I am a traitor to my race.
I have betrayed their trust.
Because they are a people of hate
And I a person of love.

They wanted me to hate
 Hate my fellow man.
 And yet I love you
 And thus conspired against mankind.

When will they find me
 And expose me for what I am?
 But yet I cannot hate you
 No matter what they do.

And are you also a betrayer
 Or are you just like them?
 Oh, I'll give my love to you
 But will you do the same thing too?

Questions

Questions

All is life, light
Stars whirl above, bright
Where do you lead, go?
Is your love real, or no?
Do you care for me, for me?
Or is it your wish to be flee, be free?
All is life, light
Stars whirl above, bright

So many dreams have died

So many dreams have died

So many dreams have died
In my heart
And now another
Of you

How much more heartache must I take
Before I die?
What new pains
Must I learn
Before the darkness?

Let me retire from this life's race
Defeated and forgotten
Torment me not with stark remembrances
Of what could not be
Persecute not this weary soul
With hateful voices

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time I see the blue sky,
For the first time I hear the blackbird sing,
For the first time I smell the scented roses,
For the first time I feel the warm night air.

How could I have been so blind?
How could I have been so deaf?
I have stumbled through life in darkness,
Now you lead me to the light.

No longer will I lie afraid at night,
Afraid of the ghosts of my past.
No longer will I shamefully submit,
To those who have no power over me.

For the first time I live,
For the first time I need,
For the first time I care,
And for the first time I love.
