In Darkness

Imprisoned in darkness,
Acquitted in light,
Counting in blindness,
With totem in sight.

Demonic in image,
Angelic in heart,
Misreckoned in spirit,
But fathomed in art.

I wake to find myself

I wake to find myself on a very dark road. It is both strange and familiar, as though I have been here once before. There is something sitting next to me with coal-red eyes and an all-consuming presence. It seems as though it has been waiting for me to arrive. Perhaps it knew that this was where I would end up. It points wordlessly to the road and somehow I know I am expected to walk down it.

I stumble along aware now that I am not alone in this place. I can hear the echoes of others who have passed this way. Invisible eyes bore into and through me, willing me to hurry along.

The road is well worn with many smaller roads leading off it. I stop at a sign post and reach out to wipe away the thick grey dust that covers the words. But there are no words on it and I move on confused. Where am I exactly?

There is something blocking the road now. It is an alien creature and I slow down, afraid and cautious. It reaches me and wraps itself around me like a sticky spider’s web. I fight to get out but it is stronger than me and threads me up into a tight cocoon.

I fall asleep again and wake with a start. I feel different somehow and glance down at my hands. I reel back in horror at the mangled claws that were once my hands. I try to scream but my voice has been removed. How long have I been here, I wonder? And what kind of monstrous creature will I become once the metamorphosis is complete?

When I was younger I used to have a recurring nightmare. It was the kind of dream where although you know that something is coming for you, you are unable to shake yourself awake. In the dream I am moving along on a type of road and it feels like I am trying to get to something that is both beyond my control and out of my reach.

The dream suddenly reminds me of where I am now on the dark road. But then I realise that this is not the dream from my childhood.

It is real. And I am dead.

Waiting for you

I never thought it was worth it, you know waiting for love,
and then I felt your kiss, I could wait forever for you.

Can't stop lovin you!!!

The first time our eyes met
It is the same feelin I get
Only feels much stronger
I want to love you longer

Every word I say is true
I remember all your moves
I remember you!!!

Let's walk in Paradise!

The winds that on the uplands softly lie,
Grow keener where the ice is lingering still
Where the first robin on the sheltered hill
Pipes blithely to the tune, "When Spring goes by!"

Attitude of Silence

You say it best
when you say nothing at all

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.

I care for you so deeply

I care for you so deeply,
my heart beats for your slightest touch.
Your voice sings to me so sweetly
That I want to be with you ever so much.

I think about you always,
sometimes with concern and despair.
I want to mean something to you
No matter what the heartache I may bare.

You have this aura about you,
that makes me go weak in the knees.
I get so nervous around you,
It's hard to keep these butterflies at ease.

Your eyes reach deep inside me,
This is why I try to hide.
I fear that you'll see everything
opening my heart up even more wide.

When your breath caresses my lips
And our bodies are intertwined,
I can't help but feel your heart pounding,
wanting these moments to be only mine.

I quietly absorb pangs of this love-ring
As images reoccur at dusk, so brightly
To you I would graciously give everything,
If it was me you could smile for so heartily.

I'm not asking you to give me your everything,
Just an honest guy I want to be.
To hold you and kiss you and love you,
To take all your hurt and set it free.
