THE SUICIDE

Eyes stare up
Blank expression
Nothingness
Sky is not seen
Wind is not felt
The leaves in the hair
The dirt on the cheek
The frigid skin
The blue tint
The parted lips
No breath in the lungs
No beat in the heart
No stirring of the limbs
The eyes do not blink
The song has been silenced
The light has been stolen
A beauty in life
A beauty in death
Flowers adorn the hair
Pale, white, pretty dress
Arms crossed over chest
Marks adorn the wrists
The ground around stained red
The note at the side
Never to be read
The hurried script
The tear-stained lines
The stained razor
Tell-tale lines
A beauty in life
A beauty in death
Wounded soul
Controlling the mind
Holding the blade
Piercing the skin
Crimson flowed down
Rained upon the ground
Down she fell to her knees
A barely-audible scream
Finally she collapsed
Breathing in gasps
Slowly her body died
The lovely, abandoned bride  



CHESHIRE CAT

Grinning Cheshire Cat 
Stupid sculpture 
Staring at me 
With those huge eyes 
Painted china 
Grinning its stupid grin 
In the midst of my sorrow 
Light glinting on porcelain 
So much work into this thing 
Someone wanted to make this 
Wanted a work of art 
So created the glass, happy cat 
Grinning at me 
Unnerving is the expression 
Frozen, never faltering 
Never changing, eternal 
The clock ticks 
So loud in my ears 
And I sit in my white room 
Staring at the glass cat 
As I stare I grow mad 
How dare it smile while I cry?! 
I knock over the statue 
Hear it break against the floor 
I look down with satisfaction 
Then my gaze turns to horror 
Grinning Cheshire Cat 
Painted mouth and large eyes 
Stupid sculpture 
Staring at me.... 



DESIRES

Desires rising in the midst of darkness. 
Thy..My Passion is incarnate, eternal. 
Heart beating loudly in the night. 

Heated dreams in a fevered mind. 
Closed eyes, deepened breath 
Such as this, in dreaming I lie 
When feeling thy invisible kiss. 

Back arching with an unseen pleasure. 
Hands trembling with an unknown need. 
Body crying out with unfulfilled longing. 

Soul holding to a spoken word. 
Mind fearful in its certainty 
Heart strong in its conviction 

Dreams cling to senses in the midst of day 
Passion is firmly held in check. 
Awaiting to be stirred later on. 

Awoken by thy voice, thy words. 
Desire for thee to be beckoned forth again. 
Eyes to close again in longing. 
Entering again into thy pleasing dream  



WHAT DO THEY SEE?

Will I journey to heaven tonight
Or will I fall into hell?
With the winding path I travel
I can never really tell

Will I look upon the face of God?
Or will Lucifer's profile arise?
Every morning I choose to live
But every night I fight to die

Will the sun burn me with days?
Or will the moon blind me with night?
There is no in-between for me
There is only wrong and right

Will angels sing a Sorrow Song?
Will demons laugh with glee?
Do they laugh at some spectral joke
Or do they laugh at me?

To think I'm only falling
While I only want to fly
I shake with mirthless laughter
When I only want to cry

And as they're staring down
At the falling angel named "Me"
I cannot help but wonder
What is it that they see...?  



JUDGEMENT DAY

The sun is moving to meet the earth 
Symbol of the new gods' birth 
Screaming children all around 
I can't escape the horrid sound 
Feeble hearts beating, failing, dying, weak 
The strong they wail, silent are the meek 
This is it, the coming of Hell 
Hear each mad, ringing, singing bell 
Madness crashes, burns away 
My eyes are seared, what is night, and day? 
Writhing anguish, liquid fire 
I'm caught in the wrenching, consuming mire 
Consequence has come at last 
Free me, masters, from approaching past! 
Streaking stars from Heaven fall 
Is this the end, or birth of all? 
Crying, wailing, reaching out 
Gods, do not judge me! Do not doubt! 
Take away these tattered wings 
I've crawled too far to keep these things! 
I stand too tall, don't knock me down 
I see much better what surrounds 
I fail, I fall, I try again 
Where does resignation leave, begin? 
I know nothing, the smoke's too thick 
I barely missed the scythe's chilling nick 
Blood pour down onto the ground 
Fill my ears with the endless sound 
Calm my actions, quell my fears 
Take my soul, drain my tears 
Let me know all, plead my case 
prisoner of this chance, nonexistant grace  



HOURGLASS

It's raining sand in my world today
Ominous premonition
Eternal weather prediction
Time's slipping away
Slipping, falling away
From me

I travel across a windy desert today
Burying myself in the dust
The particles are red as rust
Ominous, perilous warning
Black sunrise on a cloudy morning
Blinding me

I stumble along in tattered rags
Tangled hair and dirty face
Listless prayers and shattered grace
The sand sifts higher and higher
Steadily higher
Lifting me

Night turns into day, day into night
My cheek is pressed to the glass
Twilight is falling again fast.
Light is slipping away.
Slipping, falling away
From me...  



LOST SOUL

I think I lost my soul today
I think it finally ran away
Tired of what I had to give
Tired of what I never did
It hummed itself a little tune
As it skipped away so soon
It didn't stop a second's stay
It just walked on along its way
I didn't try to chase it down
Cannot catch what can't be found
It didn't give a last farewell
There was nothing left to tell
I lost my only soul today
I think it finally ran away....



WAITING

As the clock keeps ticking, the phone's ring remains silent
You said you would call, but time tells you mean differently
The clear liquid in my glass is not water
The thoughts in my mind are not innocent or kind
I trusted you, you said this would not happen
I trusted you, you promised you loved me
I had faith in you, you said I wouldn't be hurt again
I had faith in you, you said to forget the past
I believed in you, what is there now to believe in?
I believed in you, and look at what you are doing
I dreamed of you, but are dreams all it is?
I dreamed of you, would you have them crash at my feet?
The clock keeps on ticking, the phone still isn't ringing
I drain the glass and pour another, tap the ashes in the tray
The thoughts in my mind are silent, are dangerous
No one destroys my trust, my faith, my belief, my dreams
And gets away with it
I will avenge my soul.
