In darkest night when fear awakes
And ghosts emerge from their hiding place
I take my love by trembling hand
Together we walk nightmares’ land
Where terror lurks ’round every bend
In blackest black, end without end
I hold my love close to my heart
And boldly stroll where paths are hard
When dreams escape, let no dread fall
Behind the closed eyes of our wall
I raise my love above myself Read the rest of this entry »

Sweet bird of prey, you sing
Beautiful songs, hopeful songs
Still you would rather
Kill and devour me
High atop your majesty, you watch
Singing all-the-while
Melodies I love to hear
Melodies that so deceive
For you is a murderer
In fancy plumage
And elegant poise Read the rest of this entry »

Out of sight I went towards the light
You know, the one, not the sun
The thing that catches your eye
When you die or so they say
Thought I was defeated till greeted
By one and all, no more wall
They were there, but to be fair
I didn’t quite see from here to eternity
So I bid farewell, this is
Hell thought I couldn’t quite tell, oh well it’s true
There’s something to it, I couldn’t do it
So, without a thing to say, I blew away

Depression-a toothless hag, beware her tongue!
Slicing, dicing, undermining today
No thoughts on tomorrow buried in yesterday
Spiral, downwards, the churning, burning
Emptiness, needing, pleading with unseeing eyes
Many diversions, aversion to this
This version of life is rife with nightmare
No days, no way to say what needs to be said
The head is dreadfully dead
The body limps, scrimping on pleasantries
Memories hold fast, the past that lasts

Anger shall cripple me
Jealousy binds me
Fear will unveil me
Falsehoods now blind me
Hatred buries me
Dividing me, ferrying me
Lust shall undo me
Memory salutes me
Ignorance unmasks me
Where haziness finds me
In solitude takes me
Gratitude inflates me
Tomorrow degrades me
Tears excommunicate me
Vengeance incenses me
In acceptance, replaces me
