Just a lot of old stuff, trying to sort it all into one place and perhaps start something new. You never know with me.

How Angels Fall

Can you tell me how Angels Fall?
Show me Grace
The things I've missed

Touch my heart
Turn Ice to Fire
Or leave me as you've found

Show me that single ray
That bright spot for which I reach
Hope, life, truth

Tear me apart inside with a whimper
Call to me and hear my name
Can you show me Grace

God has long forgotten me
Lucifer never cared
Angels at my side

All I've ever been able to trust
Perhaps not even myself
Fate, Fate is blind

Bring me hope if you may
Show me what I miss
Can you tell me how Angels fall? </center>

<centerr>Poets Blood

Cut me
Watch me bleed
Blue and Black ink
all over this page
All over you

Touch the ink
touch my soul
Smear it
Be like the rest
The worlds a loveless place

Cut me Tear my soul
Rip my body to pieces
Burn it on the flame
Like the paper with it's verse

You see the world in black and white
Even my night is colored
Maybe that is what you fear
My refusla to conform
Become one in your world

So I'll shut my eyes
Dream perhaps of peace
Even though it'll never be
All you ever do
Is cut me</center>
<hr>
Trivial Love
You haunt me
Drive me crazy
Take my breathe away

Its never complete
Nothing ever is
Til I talk to you

I don't know what it is
No idea how you do it
You get to me like no one else does

I close my eyes
Your all I see
Being away drives me in sane

The stars in the sky
Shine like your eyes
And tears me a part inside

I've fallen for you
And Tears roll on by
Few things can feel like this

Theres nothing in the world
That doesn't remind me of you
Its all I really have

A gentle breeze reminds me
Of your sweet innoscence
And I can't understand

What could make you care for me
I'm not even sure
You will the way I do

All I know is
You make it alright
And I want nothing more

Then to be
In your arms
Tonight</center>
<hr>
By the Grace of God I make it. . .
seconds are eons
minutes, eternities
and some how I make it

everyday with out you
takes me a step closer
to insanity

while those brief moments with you
when i can steal them
some how keep me sane

but those fleeting moments
lay few and far between
so i think of you

whenever i can
every moment of conseance
your there

i treasure what i can
pray to god you might
feel something for me

i don't know how i do it
every day ticks by so slow
but somehow, i make it</center>
<hr>
I could. . .
I could, I could tell you what I would do
But why cheapin' you by making promises
Telling you I'd capture the moon and stars for you
But why

The sun seems like a flickering candle
When held to the beautiful blave that is your soul

The moon, an imperfect mirror
Attempting to reflect your beauty

The stars, the stars grow dim
Compared to the light in your eyes

I could promise the world, the oceans and all
But the the deepest canyon could never hold my love

I could, I could try to fool you and myself
I could try so hard to lessen my thoughts

But I don't want to try. . .

I want to love
The perfection that is. . .

. . . you. . .</center>

I Love You

i wet my lips
wait for your kiss
-the distance kills me

I Love You

your all i think of
all i dream
-it could never change

you are my hope
the only truth
-i live for you

my heart is yours
my soul too
-i live for you

my life has finally gone right
my days are now bright
-all because of you

I Love You

you are the only substenance i need
the only thing i couldn't go a day without
-you fill me

i feel complete
you make me whole
-i don't feel alone

it doesn't scare me anymore
i feel i can take on the world
-if your by my side

i crave your touch
your voice, an angel's song
-i yearn to hear it

I Love You

i found my dream
my angel love
-i've found you

i wish to hear you breathe
watch your peaceful sleep
-the distance truly kills me

i had wondered if this was love
then you said three words
-i had no doubt

if i quiver now
at the thought of your touch
-imagine when we're finally together

I Love You

i can't imagine a day without you
i don't understand hot i lasted this long
-you complete me

i'm finally able to write
still no words can do
-still it's all i think

I Love You

Another Dawn, Another Dusk

I lay and listen
To the beating of my heart
As the sun rises on a new day
Painting the sky

Colors abound
The grace of God with a brush
A beautiful blue canvas
Riddled with whispy whit

A generation to early
A life to late
Nothing could be sweeter
Than a lovers embrace

As the celestial heart
Races across the sky
The days cannot pass swiftly enough
I need your touch

I lay and listen
To the rythm of my breathe
As the moon smiles on the night
Bringing her children forth

Hope abound
The twinkling of twilight
Watching over all
As Angels near our hearts

Tears rise to my eyes
For the broken heart
Bleeds from them
The pain of missing you

And as I pass out
Exhaustion taking control
I think of you
And our dawn
<hr>
Life

Life
Funny word Life is
There is nothing else
No other word in any language
Past - Present - Future
That amounts to as many meanings
As many emotions
as Life

Life
Life is Love and War
Hate - Joy - Pain - War
So much more
Yet so much less
It is a simple complexity
Turning on a whim
Life is Life

Life
Life can be Hell
In the same moment ecstacy
It can be what you make it
Or what you don't
You can let it pass you by
Or grab it by the horns
So is Life

Life
It is ever changing - Life is
Ever growing - Exolxing
From Dawn to Dusk
Through out the night
But one thing I know
It is about Love
Life is Glorious
<hr>
. . .Crushed Me. . .

You like Pain
You like to Hurt
Leave me battered and bruised
Without leaving a mark

You know I'm weak
A fool who cares
Selfless, Sacraficing
All, all you wanted you took

Tease me with a touch
Drive me mad with a look
I was in the palm of your hand
You smashed me, crushed me

I was left for dead
I was dead inside
My eyes were hollow
My soul frozen

I'd take my life
But I'm afraid
I'd take yours
But you crushed me. . .
<hr>
You Walked In

I was on the verge of death
I had fallen
My soul gone hollow

The last star of hope
Twinkling in the night sky
Dimly burning out

There was no magic
All desire gone
My words were weak and frail

My hands trembled from fatigue
I had given up on life
Nothing could have saved me

There was no eternity
Only the Hell I lived
I was nothing

Then you walked in

Found life where there was none
Kindled it and lifted me
Filling void with love

That last star of hope
Became an eternal Super nova
Blinding all who dare see

You are magic
My one desire
My words are now strong and soft

My hands still tremble, but with love
You�re my reason for living
You saved me

Seconds without you are eternities
Hell is when I can�t speak to you
You are everything

You walked in</center>
<hr>
Testing my Faith

What more do you want from me life?

What?

You've cut me, bled me dry
You've torn me, left me hollow

All this before I could even talk

It's been one long trial
Uncountable tests set before me

And I've never faultered
Never given up

When will you realize that?

As long as I have a speck of spirit
I will fight you

I will over come anything you throw at me

But killing me isn't enough

you have to get others involved

I'm not going to fall before you
I stand in defiance to your will

You hear me life
I am not going to faulter

I will stand, fight

Drained as I might be
Pained as I might be
As much pain as I might be in

You havn't won
You never will

I will go survive
I always have

So whatever you want to throw at me

Bring it

I tire of the wait

Kill me now, and win it all

Or do you enjoy testing my faith?

I've never lost it
Test all you want

I may fall down
But I never stop getting back up
<hr>
Cry not

Cry not child for this is sweet
Cry not parent for this is life
Cry not brother for we all must leave
Cry not sister for we all must carry on
Cry not lover for we all must part
Cry not friend for all must end

As we stand here
So much unknown
So much untold
We take the first steps

As we walk here
We begin to learn
We begin to experience
We take the first strides of a run

As we run here
So much passes by
So much done and missed
We take the first slows of the jog

As we jog here
We begin to understand
We begin to grow wise
We take the first steps of the last walk

As we walk here
So mush disappears
So much done
We take the first wink of the last sleep

Cry not child for this is sweet
Cry not parent for this is life
Cry not brother for we all must leave
Cry not sister for we all must carry on
Cry not lover for we all must part
Cry not friend for all must end

Ho Hum Cherio

Ho Hum here we com
Riding over hill and dale
Ho Hum here we come
Flying swiftly through the air

Chery Cherio I can see the sun jerry
Riding high in the sky jerry high
Chery Cherio I can see the sun
Flying gently through the sky without a nigh or kigh

Dipper Dapple I smell apples
Riding through the orchards not having a carey care
Dipper Dapple I smell apples
Flying low through the trees sniffles in the air

Ho Hum Cherry Dapple Dipper Cherio!
<hr>
Untitled

I've seen the fires of the Northern lights in the eyes of those who claim to care

I've seen the rains fall from the eyes of those who would keep you there

I've seen the clouds roll by from their minds as they realze how special you truly are

Leave it as you've found my Dear
Only live for what is
Slam the night
Meet the foes
Drive away the shadows in my soul

I've seen the leaves shake in the autumn twilight like stars in the southern glide

I've seen sun shine pouring from the heavens above to bathe the world in a glow of love

I've seen the moon beams bring the lunacy of tides and mortal thought

My tears fade away into dry river beds
One of a million things you do
Turning dusk to dawns
Fear to hop
Life, living, thats all I have, that and you
<hr>
Another Life - Another Place

I never asked for an ending like this
I never asked for the tale to end this way
I never asked God in Heaven to tare my soul out
and I never asked the only question the hung at my lips

I can't turn back the hands of time
I can't ask fate to ever be kind
I can't tell you everything is dead
and I can't tell you I still feel the same

I do not control what my heart dictates
I do not control what yours calls to you
I do not now what brought it all to this
and I do not wish to take any of it back

I could have seen it coming
I could have fought every bit of it
I could have cried the tears that filled my eyes
and I could have to Heaven from the skies

I never told you I expected this out come
I can't ask your forgiveness
I do not forgive myself
and I could never say Goodbye, only Goodnight

Til the Next Dream that Comes; Another Life - Another Place
<hr>
Hate - Love. . .

Tears fall on the end of lonely roads

Trust only those who love you

Never turn your back on someone you love

Lie like the sun will never rise again

Believe in the power of Hate

Love is just another weakness

If pain is weakness leaving the body, than nothing makes you stronger than love

A man's education doesn't begin until his heart breaks

Turn away and save yourself the pain</center>
<hr>
One Last Time

The Halo shone tonight
Surrounding the sun
Enveloping the mind

Taking us to another place
So far away
Where we could just be

Now the sun stands in a haze
The sky nearly blue and white
Still the grey rolls through

All these things bring natural highs
Like the explicit use
of far to much cocaine

So when it refreshens
One last step
Inject the dust of celestial heights

Feel the thrill of another high
Dream of flight in the sky
And die one last time</center>

Tempest and Tears

Bid thee welcome into the abyss
Open your arms like a mother
A child I am in the world
Cry out the harkened honeysuckle
I will fight this fight

The torrent tempest rages on
Spewing forth tribulations in an already dark hour
I think of your voice and smile
You are my source of strength against the storm
I welcome the challanges with you by my side

The earth trembles a mass
Stand ready against it
For there is a silence more deafening than that
And it only falls between us
For some things play out in such a way

I could, have denied myself
But could never deny you
A part of me, my very soul
To which only truth can flow
I love you

I'm happy for the storm above
People can't tell from tears and rain drops
But you can; you own me
Wonderous how fragile a thing I truly am
I know now even mountains are brittle

I suppose the mountain needed to be shown
He too can crumble
But in the palm of your hand
You somehow hold what I thought I lost
My heart, my love

No trial stands to hard
No feat unaccomplishable
For I have met the fires before
I will brave the tempering again
There is nothing I wouldn't do for you</center>
<hr>
I can't see

Tell me why it has to end this way
All these tears
And all this pain

Can't answer all your questions
Can't see the break of day
Night gets so heavy

I can't see

So what ever happened to happy beginings
All the plans we made
Nothing more in dreamscape

So turn my soul around and inside out
Break all the little things
Cry those goddamn tears

I can't see
<hr>
My Event Horizon

I'm not what I seem
Deep within theres another universe
Boiling inside of me

My soul can be an eclipse
With a few small glimpses
Through out the Bailey Beads
Enjoy the light when you can

So welcome to my Event Horizon
Dare not come to close
I'll pull you in

There is no escape from the darkness
It is another space
You could never hear my screams
Pushing one step closer to the brink

A million parsecs between body and mind
Breaking down and traveling
Where distance no longer exists

Surrounding my thoughts
In another proplyd of questions
Reaching the Roche Limit around me
Tears in another deep black bastion

Welcome to my Event Horizon
Pull back before its to late
Not another second to breathe

This is still just another space
You never heard my screams
Slip away into the wormhole
No more white dwarf to stay

Blink twice and pray
For tomorrow is another day
It's only my Event Horizon

Ho Hum Cherio

Ho Hum here we com
Riding over hill and dale
Ho Hum here we come
Flying swiftly through the air

Chery Cherio I can see the sun jerry
Riding high in the sky jerry high
Chery Cherio I can see the sun
Flying gently through the sky without a nigh or kigh

Dipper Dapple I smell apples
Riding through the orchards not having a carey care
Dipper Dapple I smell apples
Flying low through the trees sniffles in the air

Ho Hum Cherry Dapple Dipper Cherio!
What the deuce is that meant to be? Proof reading is a good idea from now on, man.

One Last Time

The Halo shone tonight

This made me think of the Master Chief kicking ass :(

Only 7 days to go...

Nice work, Merl my man.
