Basking in the dry light of the midnight sun
shuddering fear of choice we all must make.
Following the twisted rivers of unshed tears
fleeing the ancient monsters of our uncertainty.
A thousand generations of one who wonders...
who wanders alone amongst the legion of man
There upon shallow horizon it appears
Brilliant star burst falling on closed ears
If only i could open up sealed eyes
mine own and others too.
See me please my midday star,
for to be seen is to know you ARE.
Silver frost upon a windowsill,
I can see it now that I have time to kill.
It's in the stillness of this morning new,
That first I taste the morning dew.
Why is it I can not restore,
Things to the way they were before?
Do I even want it so?
It would seem I no longer know.
Now I know the stillness of the earth,
A feeling few feel after birth.
Now I know, I can finally see,
There is not even friendship between you and me.
But I know now to look past the sorrow,
To see the possibilities of tomorrow.
So perhaps one day we can be friends,
But until that day, this poetry ends.
To want so much yet be always denied!
You cannot know this pain held inside
i scream and cry and writhe in such pain
Only to live it all over again!
You've done it again; you've left me broken,
To you my love is not even a token!
Humor me not with your little white lies
Every time you do again my heart dies!
Here i lie now, all twisted and torn
Out of these ashes no hope can be bourn!
Out of your life i was casually brushed
With nary a care for what hopes may be crushed!
i mourn now for the love no longer there
And then wonder now...why, oh why, would you care?!?
And now i lay here now so battered, so bruised
And think that jus
I happen upon a stranger,
Wandering along the road.
His clothes were worn and dirty,
On his back lay a heavy load.
And so I called right out to him,
Oh stranger I do pray,
Come and have a meal with me,
Oh please, oh wont you stay?
He turn to me at this and then,
With a gentle nod.
He turned to me and then I saw,
The very features of a god.
Only then did I a last notice,
The stranger bore a sword.
And quickly I did stammer,
Forgive me please my lord!
And then he finally spoke to me,
His voice was slow and firm.
You have no need to fear me sir,
Unless you know the wyrm.

i have heard the battles call,
echoing down this old knight's hall.
i have heard those silent screams,
of vanquished foes who haunt my dreams.
i have heard those goustly songs,
of bitter hate and long-dead wrongs.
i have heard this wailing cry,
of weeping spirit as again it dies.
Come listen now and i'll tell you tales,
of a noble kight who one day fails,
to set his captured bretheren free.
You see that knight was me!
One dark and dissmal nite,
WE thriteen set out to fight
A very vast and mighty hoard
The army of the Midnight Lord!
But i fear we were greatly outnumbered
And my brave bothers were already incumbered
With the w
As I walk 'ward devil's cave
It is too late my soul to save
As I step cross burning coals
And brush away these poor lost souls
I hesitate for but an instant
But I fear my curiosity is too insistent
I find that I cannot turn away
I shall see the devils own eyes today
I creep toward the gapping mouth
As it yawns towards the south
I struggle to make nary a sound
Taking furtive glances all around
1 step 2 step 3 step 4...
I creep across the dark cave floor
I know its not polite to creep,
But I know not what in this cave's asleep!
I hear that snarling, grating growl
Followed by putrid breath so foul
At last I think I found
I lost you in the darkness
I couldnt find you for all Ive tried
Through the trees I hear you voice
It calls out to me
I think
I hope
But no its not my name you call
You have forgotten my already
I am but a distant memory already
Given over to the wind and rain
Harsh nature makes me see the truth
I have been abandoned
Once more I find myself lost
Amongst the thousands
The mindless throng
They cannot see me you know
Not really, to them I am as invisible as the wind
As inconsequential as one star amongst the millions
But tell me this my kind betrayer
My gentle Judas in the night
Without one to know us, how ca
can you hear me
way out there, can you
hear my silent screaming,
dark angel of my day time nightmare?
It was simple what
we wanted you and i
has wanted...
to be happy to be loved
and sometimes just to be.
We were each other's shelter
all we'd ever need
but then that bond was broken
by bitterness, by greed
And now we hardly know us,
we're not half what we used to be
broken shadows of ancient lovers
shivering in shadows of what we've lost
I wish that i could blame you,
i wish that i could hate
but as much as i may wish
by now its far too late.
Some things will never change
though you may wish that they would.
I will alway
Every single day Im a little less me,
With every little change Im a little less free
I can feel myself drowning but I dont really know it
I scream for all the pain inside, I just cant seem to show it
Like waves of doubt breaking on the beach
Im swimming for the surface; I just cant seem to reach
Im trapped behind the mirror; Im hidden in the walls
For all my weary screaming, no one can hear my calls
They could see it if they were looking, there inside my eyes
If they listened they might hear, my souls voiceless cries
Im pounding on the door of this satin covered box
But no matte
I have spent the whole of my adult life in singular pursuit of a business career, only to have it all swept away by the careless decision of some dumb kid just out of highschool. Then something amazing happened, with the help of my beautiful and infinitely more talented wife I have rediscovered a passion for art and writing that I had long forgotten.
I live a life wholly defined by pain, and I fine respite in art of all kinds. I spend long days and sleepless nights browsing through this awe inspiring art and clutching that art to myself like my only blanket on a cold winter's night.
**To all those I favorite I want to thank you because you have impressed or inspired me and that means everything to me. I do wish I left a comment on every piece but the volume of art I collect makes this somewhat impractical (nevermind the time I should be spending keeping things organized).
I am a fiction writer first and only occasionally dable in visual art despite how much I love it; although I have not done any writing in a very long time I am excited to start again. When I am not writing I do some drawing but prefer to ink & color mostly.
I am always looking for motivation and I am open to ideas so if you have an idea for a short story or a scene you would be interested in seeing written just send me a message.
