Though the days do quickly pass
And my summers now winters share.
In a land that was forgotten
Now you can find me there.
Alone it seems in the dark
On a wave of shifting sand.
Until the light wash over me
And I remember who I am.
Where is the Time
For it does pass,
A minute and the hours,
Until again
I wear this mask,
And stand amidst the flowers.
Though the days do quickly pass
And my summers now winters share.
In a place I’d once forgotten
If only you didn’t care.

Demon
Flashing deep into the night,
Suddenly an awesome sight.
Seeing you, Seeing me,
What more can it be?
Who are you, Creature of Darkness,
falling into everyone’s likeness.
Show me who you really are,
You turn into a movie star.
Evil Demon, straight from Hell,
I’m looking but i can not tell.
Wanting you, Wanting me,
I see you who do you see?
Stars are flashing in your eyes,
You walk as if you’re in disguise.
Where do you come from, Lover of Mine?
How Can you make and alter time?
Beauty deeper than the bone,
Heart & touch colder than stone.
How my heart beats fast with desire,
Yet you take me still much higher.
Do you want me to want you,
My soul you see straight through
All my lies you dissapaite
All the longing, all the wait.
Passion so sweet, Kisses so burning,
Knowing you are all I’m yearning
Twisting thoughts in your evil mind.
Yet you can still be so kind

Dearest Mirror
Dearest mirror can you see,
deep inside my fantasy.
Can you see this blood soaked plain,
For I am sure I am going insane.
I do not want him in my mind,
his thoughts for me they are not kind.
Oh Mirror Dearest can you tell,
this demon takes me straight to Hell.
There’s no disguising what I feel,
I no longer know what is real.
I do not want to hold his hand,
He doesn’t know just Who I am.
Dear Dearest Mirror does he know,
that my hate from love does truly grow?
And I will leave his corpse down there,
where he can lay and forever Stare.
I do not want him in my life,
I only want him to feel my knife.

Did You Ever Dare to Dream
I watched the sunlight from outside, slowly creeping in,
As dawn arose, standing by my side, I am ready to begin.
Did you ever dare to dream, that mermaids lived with scale,
Or unicorns roam trampled woods, do pirates still set sail?
Are the hours long enough, do you see them dwindle fast?
Will you ever see your future, if you can’t forget your past?
I watched the sunlight from outside, radiate my room,
Shadows cast along my wall, it is now high noon.
Did you ever dare to dream, that nymphs had hair of green,
Or Fairies flew with flowers dew, a kingdom have you seen?
Are the hours long enough, Do the minutes slip away?
Will you ever see tomorrow, if you live in yesterday?
I watched the sunlight from outside, slowly fade to dark,
The night it comes to over shadow, the day that I embarked.
Did you ever dare to dream, That Vampires walked the earth,
Or zombies still lie bitterly, and Ghost give fear new birth?
Are the hours long enough, the sunlight has long since seeped out,
Will you ever see forevermore, when right now you live in doubt?

Dangerous Intentions
My eyes are blurry, my sights are low,
I’m trying to hide, but there’s no place to go.
You can tell I’m in for stormy weather,
For all my days are melding together.
You hold nothing but Dangerous Intentions.
Running and chasing in all directions.
Leave me wondering, what can be done,
To vanquish your forces before the sun.
I see on the horizon a fading light,
The door once closed, I’ll have to fight.
Oh future seer, seeped in knowledge,
How lost am I, in your foliage.
I learned my limit, I learned my stay,
I learned to run, I once walked away.
And as I prepare to make my stand,
I am afraid, of who I am.

Dancers
It’s raining again today, just like yesterday,
I’m listening to the rain fall and the lightning play.
There’s nothing more to do, but sit and cry,
Since this rain has fallen, I’ve wanted to die.
There’s no loneliness that can’t be conquered,
No silence unbroken, no time that faltered.
There’s no dream that can’t mend in time,
If only just once the sun would shine.
The thunder calls out your name and mine,
As I watch dancers, dance out of time.
And glitter falls like dewdrops on the page,
The party goes on with the latest rage.
The sky so dark and gray it would seem,
That I am living some endless dream.
Of which I shall never once awake,
For never do I see the daybreak.
Why did we come here, what did we seek,
In this rain, at this party, did you peek?
The dancers dance without rhythm or rhyme,
When do we notice we’ve run out of time?
If I miss you, I mean I’m alone,
If I love you, my heart is of stone.
And if I should turn you away,
I’ve left the party for the rain to play.

No One Can Comprehend
Why am I always alone, he turns away from me,
Why should I even try for what I long to be.
I had learned so much from the one before,
Does everyone think I can take much more?
No one can comprehend,
Why my life can not bend.
Hurt and frustration how long this time,
Til another heart ache I find,
Though they promise the world to me,
I’ll always know this can not be.
No one can comprehend,
How long it takes my heart to mend.
I long to cry to mourn my loss,
But it’s the way the coin is tossed.
It’s tossed the same all the time,
And yet tomorrow the sun will shine.
No one can comprehend,
Why do I even bother to try again.
I do not think I will go to another,
It stays the same I don’t need to bother.
I guess this is God’s will to be alone,
So I will sit and turn to stone.
No one can comprehend,
Why I call this life the end.

Chance
A chance to live, a chance to dream,
A chance to have been anything.
I lay here in my bed awake,
And dream of you until daybreak.
The silent tears, for which I’ve shed,
The sickening silence that runs through my head.
And I sit and I sigh, I’ve nothing to do,
Except sit in the silence missing you.
A chance to breathe, a chance to see,
A chance to be what I want to be.
I sit here in my room alone,
Thinking of things you have shown.
The words unspoken, that I hide,
The meaningless conversation has died.
And I sit and think, I’ve nothing to do,
Except sit in the silence missing you.

Challenge
Here we stand at the first line,
Of the new outrageous rhyme.
Take in a breath and forget time,
(Now is the time to decline)
As I take you on this ride of mine.
Now relax and free your thoughts,
There is no need to be distraught.
Now that your attention I have got,
Please glance upon what I have sought.
There you see the shades of Hue,
Pastels first, Green Yellow Red Blue.
Just one last thing to do…
Past the Darkness we must get you.
Ignore it not, you wont get past,
Do not run, this will not last.
Take in a breath we’re moving fast.
Now you Star in a Cast.
Amazing sights start to take hold,
Starting first with days of Old.
Knights in armor being bold,
Pirates searching for their gold.
Don’t stand to close, this is a tour,
Now we make a short detour.
And if much longer you can endure,
However stop now, if you aren’t sure.
Now we stand at the Abyss,
You wonder how it came to this,
Of all the things you could have missed,
You would have never wished.
I know this is your darkest fear,
You must Defeat it Here.
Or the rest is never clear,
This too is not as it appears.
Now if we just get back,
And once again the pastels stack.
Do not stand ready to attack,
Now is the time we call for slack.
Here we stand there is no Time,
There is no Reason, there is no Rhyme.
They rhythm’s beat is sublime,
You can now turn on a dime.
Dreams with others we all share,
We float on clouds while we’re there.
We never seem to have a care,
But not much more do we need to bear.
At another bout of Dark we stand,
This is beyond the No Mans land.
Now is the time we understand,
What is the Force in command.
Here we see a once new plain,
Ready for you to master the Game.
I pray for your sins, I pray for your pain,
But after this, you wont be the same.

Why I Can’t Stop Him From Calling
Beautiful, lovely, seduce my heart,
Inch your way in to tear me apart.
Seduce me, love me, call me new,
As I wait for the gathering dew.
My eyes, how they shimmer and glow,
As comments are made of the melting snow.
And I can never turn away,
Or there will not be another day.
My glorious hair does shimmer and shine,
New comments, now on fine wine.
I start to stop the constant barrage,
A kiss is now added to the collage.
A body of a goddess in the mist,
All the things he has wished.
My movement, an art full of grace,
My lips too sweet to taste.
My thoughts captivating, enthralling,
Why I can’t stop him from calling.
