Hopeless
twisted, beaten, tortured
given no time to recover from the previous blow
awareness is sharpened sadness deepened
no time ot reap the tears of hope they sewed
suicide, murder, rape they all cause harm
but preventing an innocent to which nothing was experieced
causes angels to cry catastrophic storms

Winter blossom
strawberry hues of summer glisten above
In the distance leaves rustle as the wind blows
But far removed from this scene I am
I’m in my world
My cold world
Wet earth clings to naked feet
the sky groans with disapproval at the clouds; close
in this scene I thrive
in my world
my cold world
head bowed, streams of tears devouring my face
my flesh gaining bumps to an inner chill
stuck in polar opposites, your lily to my ice
yet into your eyes you make me decide to leave my world
my cold world behind

Lady Lomotte(last laugh)
The flow starts just a trickle
Lust blooming on living rumors
Beyond the gates of fine living she flew
Spreading not only her words but limbs as well
She be not the only one who wants fine toys
Plans made dates set
Many seeking queens favor
Necklace made
Given
Taken and sold
Checks forged
Lust abolished by disguised lover
Truth seeps out in raging size
The seller impaled, branded
The luster even exiled for his advances
But in the end it is sad that the queen did not know it so
That it was really Lamotte the other she that would be watching her head roll

Sleep walkin
a little girl is walking through the world awake but not aware
seeing drugs, rape, abuse but what should she care
things going on everyday she sees them but then she doesn't
she sees the faces but not the person
pain is the normal in the world that is certain
parents thinkin that they are doing better for their children by raping
them at 5 or 15
all of the children they just dream
they don't see what's being done
they see it but they don't read into to it
one day somewhere all the sleepwalkers are gonna see then believe for a better world
maybe just because of that little girl

Romea and Jewel
on this darkest night I find my lightest light
An uncertainty to purity, but faithful always
Forever in the shadows we must remain
My treasure, my jewel and I
Once angels, now devils advocates at play
Paris do not weep at my victory
Weep knowing that your jewel is lost in my hands
Willingly
Star crossed paths; by heavens faith we were bound
A rose aged is still a rose beautiful none the less
A rose dead is a beauty gone too soon
Oh jewel, oh suns twin, my rose, my reason for being
No matter if you here or there I shall follow
Worlds poison take me to my jewel
Take me to my last breathe

Depressa's Song
Blue is the mood i wear today
the cause tag bears your name
your going away but you cant help it
taking my breathe away cant you stay
you say not today
and i think not tomorrow not next week not christmas not ever
shes gone away
-
Your the stitching that holds my quilt together
the tears salting my coffee
teh snow fallin' down on my depression
the finger tellin me dont touch
you taught me love is precious
, ...and it is
Am i supposed to let my everything become my nothing to me
-
Cuts are the suit i wear today
a memorial to your memory
pain resides in just being
your abscence has done it again
