The Great Clearance
True to myself
headed one step up
I have no complaint
by keeping the faith
To have rain on the roof
while my silence is shadowed
in a place
where nobody cared
But when sunset hits
I will not let them
get the best of me..

Tomb Of Life
Forgetfulness
by the flames
of embrace
and the departure
of child development
The only day in existence
when It's not
a snow day
I shall cross paths
on the iron bridge
not to be deleted
but to frolic away
in confidence

Driven To Maddness
Such a winter's approach
worn out
to walk
before summer rain
And my childhood
is such a blank joy
of my dedication to have been born
Come early spring
the fallen stars
will somehow hold a
fire's reflection to be
accounted for

Look Down
My song
begins as a
lesson in vengence
only to end in
crossing the water
I feel that soon
I will be getting there
not to be drowning in
plaster
I'm on the edge
pushed to become jilted
but my kindness
surrounds me like
mystic...

Freedom Speaks
The lies of no truth can be expected
through silence of noise
No human can sheild
away from laughter of tears
then fall into a pit of darkness
which is a factor of me
sealed into the walls
of freedom
then carried away from saddness.....

Stand To Envolve
The outlaw
sits upon the palace
along with the old general
everyone fussing about
the portrait
When a pretty lady steps in ready
to release
a record full of revelations
not knowning
if this will become a quest
or life's hidden
sacrifices

Forget about it
WORDS HURT LIKE POISON
WHEN POISON HURTS THE WORDS YOU SPEAK
HOW DOES A PERSON
ESCAPE WHAT FEELINGS
TO HOLD ON TO
AS A LOST MEMORY
TO NEVER EXSISTS
BUT YET THE BUTTERFLY INSIDE ME
CALLS OUT MY NAME
AND I DID ANSWER

No Words
Program of a portrait
of how the singer
shall cross paths
with the drowned man
when his memorial
is lifted under the blue skies
Could this be justice
in the winter evening
but a week later
I could not tell
from the primitive
of the mortal one

Chanted Wisdom
A stick of incense
to cover me
a song
while I am a woman
young and old
Are you content after
long silence
from another song
of a fool
Only have I chosen for some
consolation
of broken dreams
when fragments of the soul
rest into the moonlight

Face Up
The monster construct
what's inside
formed of liquid metal
The man who knew
of mourners
who were heartbroken
for sentimental reasons
All that's said
of this fallen majesty
has little time to find
the lost master
upon the parting of
the old general
