The Rope
Blindfolded I walk the rope,
To Darkness' light I plea
Love she is my only hope,
Yet always she does betray me
Steady, steady I must go
For I follow shadowy creations
Which way I do not know,
Life, death, many destinations
Heavy-hearted search I for my Soul
But long since has it been taken,
I find but Hole, after Hole, after Hole,
And many a time has my Heart been forsaken
Slipping, slipping I walk the rope
To Earth's gravity I plea
Love she is my only hope,
Yet always she does betray me
Candle in the Darkness
She was a Candle burning bright,
Resisting seductions of the night,
Darkness as cruel as time
Sang to her with all its might
Pretty pictures for her it drew,
Till it consumed her through and through
Her soul she did drop and lose,
And in her heart black shadows grew
An evil huntress she became
And all the goodness could not her tame
If ever she did not get her way
It was the sunshine she would blame
Innocence she stove to destroy
Cold as ice, the hate she did employ
Hearts she broke, Hope she smothered
People mere pawns, Life an evil toy
But light it can banish the Dark
With it's gentle fingers shadows to mark
And love with saving grace came to her
Gave her burnt candle renewing a spark
Now she is a candle burning bright
Caved into seductions of the light
Glorious faith restored to her
Love he gave back her sight
Darkness' journey
Darkness' journey I do make
The devil he tries my soul to take
But though he sang to me day and night
My resolve shall he never break
And on the light I focus my eyes
So no matter how hard he tries
My feet remain on the true path
And I resist his cold and evil cries
The other side my heart once saw/has seen
Something, something, something
And love she will guide me always
Something, something, something
My light it does his darkness smoother
And I see through and through cruelty's lover
And though he try what he may try
The key to myself he shall never uncover
Darkness' journey I do make
The devil he tries my soul to take
But though he sing to me day and night
My resolve shall stay fixed on light
Final goodbyes
Turn out the light and close the door
Is this the final goodbye?
Everyday it is the same
Recurring thoughts; why why why?
Never will I believe, never will I be ready
Even as my own departure nears
The days don't dull the pain
This is the fate everyone fears
From memories, thoughts and emotions
I see myself begin to fade
Like a dream that maybe never was
As into the darkness I do wade
All alone I'll have to go
Into the blackness' sea
What is the use, what is the hope?
For immortality we all plea
Turn out the lights and close the doors
As I say so many goodbyes
Everyday may be the last
Death can take anyone by surprise
I shout
I shout at the top of my lungs,
I bellow my words in their ears,
My screams echo over and over,
And yet no one hears me
I speak their very own language,
I spell out their very own words,
I write every letter on my face,
And yet they don't understand
So my cries go unheard,
my words unacknowledged,
my pleas unanswered,
And their ears are not deaf,
And my voice is loud and clear
They hear not, because they choose so
And my voice travels unanswered through the night as
I shout
Poisoned waters
I stumble upon it like Alice, and fall through as she does
A place where everything I am is personified;
my eyes wonder hand in hand, curious and inquisitive
My breath flows around and through, bittersweet, sweetbitter
My hands wander everywhere each to its own accord
I see all except for one, my heart that I can only hear
And it becomes my quest to find it
I look into my eyes and see a stranger
(To beautiful to be human?)
He buries my heart deeply, out of my reach
And then stares with cold, icy blue eyes
He laughs like poisoned water
And I know my heart will never be mine again
The more I try to retrieve it, the deeper it is buried
