What do you do when you have no passion?
When there is nothing worth your quality?
When your mind smoulders out trying to fashion
a bright blade of righteous equality...?
What do you do when your heart turns to Ice?
When your dogmas are on the edge of Templar grace?
What was it, in your youth, that you ultimately sacrifice
To turn leather into a work of silk and lace?
Where do you turn when the world turns on you?
Why do you fight, when there is nothing left to lose?
What is it that you struggle for, to do,
when there is little left for you to muse.
What does the future hold when the past was built on pain?
When your mind can no

Don't Chase after Cacti
My great-grandfather used to tell me, "Don't chase after Cacti because you'll only end up with a Feather in your Right Arm." I never quite understood his advice until one Jello-Fest, I was gardening with my best friend Dannica. All of a sudden, we found an underground tunnel! It was Phlegmatic and spooky sounds came from deep within. Dannica saw something interesting inside, jumped in, and I never saw her again. Great-granddaddy was right!
The blacksheep child
and prodigal son
Called only to tame the wild
and fight battles that cant be won
Blinded by bloodied tears
never able to conquer my fears
Filled with the regret of empty years
Stuck between love, hate, and sharpened shears
A loving soul over three thousand miles away
making it easier to face every day
A friend in need whose answers I cannot feed
Caring so much that I still cannot bleed
She cries out in desperate heed
yet my heart cannot supersede
Am I the friend who cares too much
or takes everything away with the slightest touch?
A brother, born of broken truth
Whose love was swept away with youth
Whate
"What's a miracle if life itself is not?"
If not for our mistakes, then for our failures.
We awaken to ourselves and what we should be
Heart on fire and drive in our eyes
To watch a human grow
That majesty, that strength
The spirit within, conquering its fear
"Sing me a song, like the angel's rejoice."
Let it be writ that there are those who rise above
And those who need a helping hand
On an ordinary day, that one who needed a hand
Rose above.
"But who am I to praise their worth with a hymn?"
Let their song fill your heart.
"Sing me a song for the mountains to move."
And let their light shine on forever.
Hear the praise, and
This constant feeling of sobriety
for once I wish it would die in me
be more, be strong, be true
for that chivalry may be blue
A heart and soul bound too long
to a place without a voice or throng
It screams "Set me free, Set me free."
Three by three, three by three.
A brutal sight of devastation
yet you stare with morbid fascination
It wouldn't have survived the passing glance
even had it been given the proper chance
"Why do you cry, child of the night?"
An angel asked without a trace of fright
"I do not cry for any known reason..."
It was simply the passing of a season
"To see the world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a w
The bells the bells are ringing
The choirs the choirs are singing
Christmas time is here
Childhood joys brand new toys
and a smile upon your face
...Sleigh bells chime just in time
for a peeking child to hear
Ribbons and bows cover your toes
as bliss takes a strong hold
Be merry and gay on this Christmas day
That your heart may be filled with light
Let the bells ring so that you may sing
Christmas Night
Trolls, goblins, and ghouls prance
Preforming the ritual fire dance
Do not get caught in the Witches gaze
Or this night may not be more than a haze
The great beast dreams
...of childhood screams
Be light on your feet
as you "trick, or treat"
For this eve will not last
as it did in the past
So keep your senses keen
and have a Happy Halloween.
