Endgame: The Burning Speculum

The Burning Speculum At the Devil's door, did you expect to see Nine levels ablaze instead of your perfect enemy Staring you down with malevolence and greed Bearing uncanny resemblance to the life you lead No longer an infant, ignorance no handy excuse You can't turn your back to this history of...

Endgame: Dark Harvest (Reprise)

Dark Harvest (Reprise) With one foot inside of Heaven’s white gates One planted firmly beyond We make new games out of fickle thoughts Changing our minds a million times Maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be Human nature to be reactive As we persistently subdue such beautiful songs We’ve no time...

Endgame: Severance

Severance Every day there comes a new deception A cocktail of half-truths and deflected lies Something wrapped up tightly in desire And our instincts are so easily cast aside… As a society consumed by gratification, there’s a detachment in between What we think and how we feel; our wants and our...

Endgame: Damage Tone

Damage Tone Sometimes the silence is a cry for help Absence of life, the presence of something else How destruction is planned, scheduled and plied Should give us all pause for a lengthening sigh The seashores’ and rainforests’ once deafening cries Are muted and hidden behind damaging lies Where...

Endgame: The Limited Ones

The Limited Ones Bloodshot eyes watch a cynical world Through the bright noise of a screen Their view of perfection tainted By the frames of the sick and twisted Drawn in and intoxicated, the masses are teeming forward Life-by-design insanity is happening across the board The world sacrificed for...

Endgame: Temporus Stasi

Temporus Stasi In the stopgaps of our memories floods the emotions of our time Questions spanning centuries in minute pauses in our lives "History doesn't exactly repeat, but it certainly seems to rhyme" Ownership over paths walked before would be mastery over time As it slows, I see the future In...

Endgame: Vantage

Vantage A fluttering piano chases the fading sun Glittering across the surface of the oceans The ebb and flow of its lingering music Following the currents and riding the tides… A hammering heart paces about in dismay Knowing certainly that something is amiss Not having the rock to lean comforting...

Endgame: Intro

I have a story I’d like you to read…. Some of you may have heard me whining lately about writer’s block on my latest endeavor. Others have asked me offline for a peek of what I’m working on. Well, I’m proud to be able to say that I’m finally done, and I’m thrilled to be able to show you my ‘epic’,... Sign in to see full entry.

Salvation

Before, I was your savior And you reached out and clung to me Now all your behavior So stifling I can’t breathe - I can’t breathe… What I have become Is just as puzzling to you as me Now I stand before you I just want to be set free - Set me free… We’ve been here for years All this while I’ve stood...

A Memory Sighs...

A memory sighs… A whisper in my ear My heart begins to rend Screams coming do I fear It hits me hard... Breaths are gasps I treasure them now As if each was now my last The dove inside me cries Its eyes begin to tear Innocence inside me wanes I remember it being here Naked no longer I shield my eyes...
