prose
Don't tell me I'm laughing
I don't feel so sure
For all that I am now,
My thoughts don't seem pure.
There's a fire in my head
And it's pointing a gun
The Promise of Angels;
There seem to be none.
As screams consume moonlight
And tears fall like rain
Inside me there's nothing,
My pride flows in vain.
I know that I've lost you
So I'll let it be,
The Hope for Tomorrow...

Lost somewhere in me.
The Fates Must be Weeping
The Rider of the Pale Horse
Lurked somewhere after midnight
And a curiosity - all engulfing
Got wind of my feet
And I went in search of the unknown.

Was it man or myth?
Than ominus figure that dwelled
Just beyond by knowledge -
Just beyond that point
I had always turned away from...
          But that time...
The hooded beast blocked my path
And that fear of darkness
Which held me from a new horizon
Was there behind his eyes
And his eyes were mine...
And when he spoke
I felt the lies behind
my lips
And his gaze ws cold with truth -

And as I stood there, I realized -
He was my jury, my teacher...
All that I feared -
One in the same.

"
You are the rider of the
Pale, pale horse"
"
You have cast the fate"

He whispered to my conscious
And as I turned not to look
He welcomed me to a new awakening.

The Rider of the Pale Horse
Lurked somewhere after midnight
And that curiosity  - all engulfing
Got wind of my feet
And I went in search of the unknown...

How strange that I met myself there.

Rider of the Pale Horse
Ashes
In a world of confusion
We found each other -
The sanity behind your eyes
Was so appealing
To a soul not yet afoot...
As was my niavity
To your knowledge;
Your body bled
You got me wet...
You drained from me
The years of an eternity
Leaving me asking...
Is there no forgiveness
From a sin of passion?

Through my ill-fated faith
In you
I now must search to find my own...
So reap your reward -
You run with my soul.
written at various times in my life
When you  hear footsteps
From your conscious
Do you run in fear
Or turn to hear
All that is true of you -
The sour taste
of reality.

Every night I try to cope
With my self-inflicted microscope
The taste of change its on my tongue
A life of happiness and fun
Why then can't this pain be done
This pain eternal
This pain called - one.

I'm the loser in a one man game
My strategy's always the same
There is no genius in my name
Not a fire - just a flame.

Worshiping these pointless rules
Working magic with these tools?
Spinning thread on an endless spool
My Masterpiece -
The mind of a fool.

Every night I try to cope
With my self-inflicted microscope
The taste of change
Sits on my tongue
A life of happiness and fun
Why then can't this pain be done
This pain eternal
This pain called - one.

Moment to moment
I seem to live
To the world
I've nothing to give
Nothing for me
Even less for you
That is my impression - blue.
Impression:  Blue
The shadow passing by my door
Is sad and walking slow
He who endured one and all
But yet it does not show...
He does not speak of miracles
The ones of which he's done
Time that grows like darkness
The enemy  - only one.
It's in the mind where sorrow lies
The tears that go un-shown
It's here he fights the enemy...
The hero lives alone..
The Hero Lives Alone
