You can worship a tree
you can worship a stone
as for me
I worship the Three
that is One
even if it means
I stand alone
run out of breath
beaten to the bone
bled to death

The only person I fear
is my own self
in my soul I peer

I am murderous upon me
but from myself
I cannot flee

I can never satisfy
I tear me apart
and in myself I cry

It is self in…

I was alone before he came
now he’s gone
but this alone is not the same

He was the closest to love I came
and I’m the only one to blame

I let myself fall
it was my call

I could hav…

Does anybody notice
Does anybody care
that my heart’s been broken
i’ve been left in despair

Does anybody notice
Does anybody care
my life has been torn
do you have a dime to spare

D…

I wait
for that hour
that minute

that second

that is mine
and mine alone

that second

that feels like

eternity

that second

that makes an eternal memory

in my mind
mi…

No matter what I say
no matter what I do
the love that I have
never shows through

No matter how hard I try
I cannot fathom why
the love my heart knows
just never shows

Every day
yo…

Chubby, messy hair
made fun of
no one cared

The little girl no one liked
mooed when she passed
laughed when she cried
taunted and harassed

she didn’t understand why
they liked to se…

One moment in our lives
that is full of love and laughter
is a memory
forever after

These memories make us smile
and sometimes cry
without them
our lives are dry

To my grandfathers…

I am heir to misfortune
unhappiness is mine
depression is my kin
a life so undevine

The darkness is my home
when will i see the light
to cure this melancholia
to life this dark plight …

I was swimming in murky waters
it was fate
asphyxiate

when I was drowned
to a better place I went
in a carriage driven by Death*

I was taken on a journey
through the years come and …

I close my eyes
as i shed my skin
a new me is emerging
from within

i’m lost
like summer frost
grass on the desert sand
a fish on land

i can’t find my way
to the Lord i pray
to light the right path
away from the devil’s wrath

encased in fear
she tried to break free
of the pain that held her tightly

in a web entangled
covered, twisted;
mangled

she tried to break free
but for this lock
she had no key

he…

The eyes
they’re out there
in the dark
in the light
they bring a chill
cause me fright

they won’t leave me alone
they won’t part
they won’t go home
quickening my heart

they watch …

True Love
is such a rare find
when a woman
and a man bind

Yet it can be lost
at everyone’s cost
and can be lost
faster than its arrival
true, unbridled love
is a test of survival
…

Like a rock
I sit
you mock
forget it

Who cares
I don’t
who cares
I won’t

I’ll sit
I’ll stare
all because
I don’t care

I really do not…

Your eyes look so soft
in the candle glow
take me to your loft
lay with me low
untie your hair
as I will mine
show me that stare
with your eyes so divine
mesmerize my mind
your lips
s…

sitting
candle light
remembering
that night

red wine
your lips
mine

touching me
souft hands

beat
after
beat

me
you

your embrace
don’t
let go

I should be working
but there you are…
lurking
in the back of my mind
You
so beautiful
so kind
always
always on my mind
how do you get there?
that’s my private lair…

i’ve lost faith
i’ve lost hope
all day
i mope

i try to cheer up
and forget
instead
i fill another cup

the drink
it’s no cure
but to me
it has such allure

poisoning my brain
