Titan's Garden

The skies in your eyes radiate like rubies
Your smile...secret as the first of morning rays
You walk with me in the garden so humble
Mere mortals under an everlasting gaze

You held my hand as the clouds turn lightning purple
As the crust under my feet become seared and hazed
As desolation horribly crept down like a spider
To wrap me in a shroud...my grave 

But we danced violently in a hurricane of stars
Our footprints merged in roads twisted and curled
As storms pass by...tired...I whine...I mumble
But you're with me still...I'm safe...I'm fine...I'm humbled

Pilgrim


Images lash out like the sea into a harbor
My hate diluted into a goblet of wine
As it poisons my unwilling resisting mind
To wallow…to be earthbound
Resentful to fate’s design

Treasures sacred yet like a temple set to be defiled
A tortured mythical beast set loose
These pictures so set to terrorize…wantonly…yet in  great strides
A passerby on the road
On a lonely trek to Apollo’s shrine

Rooster










Wake up now
Time to resurrect
Time to dissolve
What all the engineers of this world
Could not create…could not resolve

Get out now
Out of this ruse
Knowing that the time to build
Has ushered in the time to diffuse

Giddy as the morning haze
Murky as flotsam bay
Wake up
Destroy
Welcome your day

Revolution

Farewell reign of anguish
The flowers beneath your feet lay trampled and blown

The times that I laid beside you

Are gone like a thousand years in a guillotine’s stroke
Stare out in silence

…is all I can dare

The revolution dances

Around this heart I bare

Dark nights and haunted dreams

Lay slain around your throne with their banners torn

Wounded and hardly breathing

The diamonds and emeralds kept will be locked and spared

Stare out in silence

…is all I can dare

The revolution dances

Around this heart I bare

Siege

Your eyes are like armies
That sack cities in hearts they lay siege to
A pair that Menelaus wouldn't even dare to stare
Even the finest cataphracts could never charge into
The tender spears that march in your vanguard's dare
Woe to this poor conscript...a flimsy armor he unwillingly dons 
Upon which your arrows and maces... merciless and enchanting
Pierce his flesh and breaks his bones
To bring him down to die a lowly infantryman's death
Bloodied and mangled in this battlefield of regret

Unrelenting







Stolen...time
Like water flows and sprays
...in my eyes
What the world and fates can't repay

Me in your light burning bright
On a boat alone with you
Always reminds me of you
Never relenting

Fairytales...
Like barbed wires and minefields lay
...in my mind
Prevents this daring escape

Deep in a stony cold castle
A river that flows to you
I'm always reminded of you
Never forgetting

STIGMATIZE (The Calling)









If I give up on you I give up on me
If we fight what's true, will we ever be
Even God himself and the faith I knew
Shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you

Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized

I can feel the blood rushing though my veins
When I hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that I sit and pray

We live our lives on different sides,
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized

We'll live our lives, We'll take the punches everyday
We'll live our lives I know we're gonna find our way

I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I Believe in you, and I don't really give a damn
stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides

We're gonna live our lives
Gotta live our lives
We're gonna live our lives
We're gonna live our lives, Gonna live our lives, Stigmatized
