Listen to the Wisp of an Autumn Whisper

Nature Song

2008-09-20T08:06:00.001-04:00

Listen to the night
To the roaring winds of storm
Watching the clouds race cross the sky
The greys blending into blue
Gentle lullaby sung by swaying tree
Not just for me, but also for you

Hollow whistle air through a tunnel
Grass dancing by our knees
Feel a deep embrace
Cooling walk
As rain caresses our thighs

Can you feel the beat of your heart
Thump Thumping in tune to nature
Close your eyes
Reach out your hand and take hold
The warm blanket of the morning sun

My Final Breath

2008-09-20T08:05:00.002-04:00

"But Sir, you can not yet die!"
"I can no longer carry on, young one, fight on"
"There is too much to do" The soldier cries
The old man raises his hand and touches upon his face
"Then it is your task to carry now, young warrior"
"I can not carry your burden, it is too great for me..."
He speaks soft, his eyes gazing on the dying knight
He coughs, eyes turning dark, "It is your task now
I am unable, my arm feels of lead and my body argues"
"My Lord... father... you can not pass me by
I still yet need you, to learn, to fight by your side"
The man who is a boy drops to his knee, tear filled eyes
"You have learned much my boy and still yet have you to go"
The old man smiles as his eyes close tight, "But this too
I know to be true. Destiny calls for you."
"Twas it not my destiny to protect you, dear father?
And see how this ends?" He retorts, depresson strong
"Each destiny comes to end as new ones begin
Take hold your heart and blade and end your quest
So that in the end, you have a tale too that will not fade"
The father requests, his lips pulling into smile, reassured
"Lord, I shall not fail you..." He takes hold of the weapon
Embedded in the man. He draws it hard from his stomach
And holds the blood coated sword above his head, "I shall
Make you proud"
"Go now my most loyal servant, my favorite of aides
Go now my son, and mark your place in history"
His hand extends
The man would take it and hold it firm, a nod of his head
"I have respected and honored you since my birth
Served you with all my strength and now
I shall rise above you... as this is your wish"
Though long before his sentence complete
The elder breathes no more and lay dead
"I shall make you proud." Last words said.

Refuse to Believe

2008-09-20T08:05:00.001-04:00

Refusal to believe in the sky
The sun glows brilliant burning
Emptiness spread as we watch
Lights glitter and we don't seem
Believing in the sky
We refuse to believe what we see

Sometimes heaven seems so real
Tranquil fires burning down in hell
Neither held in my hands
Sensations driving me mad
Can't fill my heart with joy
So I fall and fill it with dread
Suffering deep inside instead

Belief in that which can not die
Believing that which is dead
Confused, I lie
Confused, I can't die
Hell, I killed again
The night grows dark
Lost in my head

Ebony shadows hanging over
Ivory dripping down on my face
How do the stars melt
I can't believe its real
Painting grown wet it rains
Cold fills my bones
Its already drained my brain

Silver tide and ocean ride
Golden sand breeze high
Ocean of reflective purple
Where did purple rise
I refuse to believe there is a sky
Now angels watch as I burn
Now demons frown as I freeze
I think I've lost my mind
I know I've lost my faith
Where do I turn if up is down
and true is false
When everybody is my foe
I said I love you
I care for you
and you met me blow for blow

Walking on the clouds
On the sulfer stream
Walking on the sulfer stream
Halos all abound
Embrace me now
I ask you to be my friend
See I asked
Obliged say no
I demand you always hold me close

Here I lay
Here I stay
Here I wonder what I did today
Here I stare at the walls
Padded comfortable
Chained to the floor

Blink my eyes an instant pass
There you are

I close my lips and I frown
Her mouth turning upside down to mine
Her teeth they seem so white
Glittering eyes full of delight
Shake my head full of fright
When did morning become night
She says yes and throws a hug
And for once things seem alright

A question can chain the mind
Can break your will
Waiting shatter souls
And love will smite

A Hug

2008-09-20T08:04:00.001-04:00

Snow peaked hills, a canyon deep
Adventure to be held, marching through steep
Crisp bells of Crystal star design
Ringing of ice, Resounding chimes
A field out stretched between two stones
The flute whistles between the trees
Finally I feel my heart at ease

A sky painted many hues
Of Pinks, Purple, and black too
The sun glittering on the end
And the other stars
Painted Silver and Gold
My heart races as I go
My feet stepping deep into the snow
Each step warming me
As I get closer to you

Swarming winds wrap about
Embrace of colden chill
An icy wind that beats on down
Still
In the torrent of shadow and earth
In the storm of blade and fury
Safety and ecstacy course through
My veins burn brilliant
With the joy I find in you

A struggle against the wind
A zephyr turned cruel
But I don't feel dead
Flushing, my body stays red
My blood continues rushing
A smile erupts
A grin that grows
Dreams of the end appear
The ending that I know

A cliff to climb
A mountain to scale
A forest to trail
And a city to step
Despite the smell of failure
I continue on, I continue in

Orange across white snow
Paints them crimson and scarlet
The blush upon my cheeks
A trek that lasts forever
But only if forever is a second
Seconds pass and its over
Door opens, the threshold through
Reaching out, I grab you
Hold you close...
Mother Nature's threats mean nothing...
In comparison to a hug

Having You Here

2008-09-20T08:03:00.000-04:00

I sit here by the fireside
Listening to the snapping
Watching the wood crackle
The dance of the violet crimson flame
Scarlet the shadows attempt to evade

My face masked by the cloak of night
Embraced by the fade of light
The lack of day bright in window far
My lips drawn back in quiet smile
My breath floating in the air thin mist

Memories come and Memories go
My thoughts tick tock as time flows
Pain and death consumption
Make up my dark past
And yet I'm glad it came to pass

Through Misery, the oil black frame
A window to my soul
A glitter and flash
A grin that forever remains
A brightness of the eyes that stays

All that has happened has led me to you
And all that will happen will be by your side
Given twice chance and four
I would repeat it infinitely more
Just to witness your smile glow

It allowed me to find you
And the trade is fair
Just to be able to press my cheek...
Against your own...
To breath in the scent of your hair

To touch your face
To hold you in deep embrace
Never again will I regret
I now am in debt
Nothing can compare
To having you here

Hot or Cold...? Why not Both.

2008-09-20T08:02:00.003-04:00

A frozen blizzard cold cloak
Wrapped tight chilled bone
White gloss glisten snow
Broken ice dropping far below

Echo shatter rebound infinite
Blighted sky and knife blade grass
Heart slow heat fade numb flow
Walk walk watching you

Standing on the surface of the cloud
Staring down from heaven
Standing on the surface of the magma
Staring up from hell

A burning landscape hat manteau
Folded loose flaming bone
Brilliant scarlet dull sulfer
Solid fire rising far above

Sound inbound solid never
Blighted sky and knife blade grass
Heart slow heat flow numb fade
Walk walk watching you

Emptiness besiege
Emotions at war
Heart compelled
To fall apart

Suicide

2008-09-20T08:02:00.001-04:00

Isn't it great to be alive?
Feeling happy as the blood is flowing
Aren't you just jumping up for joy?
Your veins are still in tact
Smile. Smile wide.

Don't you just appreciate the warm?
Don't you enjoy not being frozen cold?
Smile with me now, smile with me
Just for joy, feel that happy with me
Let's share

Doesn't it just strike you as awesome
Doesn't it seem so great
Living life to its fullest
Watching the sky date
Knowing you have tomorrow?
Knowing you aren't drinking toxin?

Feeling good I bet, aren't ya?
Dance with me, you have a reason to be
Swing about your hips, you aren't using a cane
Tomorrow is another day, and you'll enjoy
You won't be falling, you won't just about to die

Glow on brightly, keep living your life
Feel the warmth of the sun, you won't be undone
You won't watch your life pass you by
Do all your laughing now, while I can watch
Before I end my own life

Soldier

2008-09-20T08:01:00.003-04:00

Watching crimson sheen on broken glass
A field of green in scarlet bath
Devoid of life in salted wrath
The emerald fade in dark decay

Dark fluff of shadowed sky
Heartless cloaks dripping wet
Over wounded hearts gone dry
Diseased existence gives rise

Watching features those cold eyes
Open gaze over the wind felt sighs
A cold up wraps over frozen spine
Tight burning fingers gripping my mind

Feathers black making lift
Painting vision in ebon death
A whirlwind tornado of comforting ease
Gentle dirt as I fall down to my knees

Gripping light the soft set sod
Laying face to embracing earth
Feeling light as time goes by
As the final soldier too finally dies

Brotherly Love

2008-09-20T08:01:00.001-04:00

To feel the sweat it beads on down
The sound of pittering feet
Steps that seem to scream and screech
An echo that forever into the darkness reach
Quiet now, Quiet now, This I say to me
The rooftop tiles sound as though they are shattering
A burning in the pit of my eyes
An ache that spreads
Is my hand shaking? Pray that it is not
Continue, continue, what am I to do
Slow down, hurry up, I know not what to think
Warm leather and cold steel, these I feel
What to do, what am I to do, can I do this trial?
Drip drop, cling clang, sweat hitting tiles
Why is it quite so loud, why does the water bellow
Stop. Stop. Peering down the edge.
It does not glow, a balcony not embraced by light
Fortunate that they are deaf
They that do not hear my heart exploding into the night
The air is swift, the air is cold
Why do I feel this chill, and not sweet carress?
I feel like screaming, I burn so
But I shiver inside and out
Did the balcony groan as my feet touch?
Can he hear my bones chattering, and my teeth?
Can he hear the slender metal leave its place of rest?
The doors open and they emit such high pitched screams
Resisting my push, no matter how gentle I touch
Why does he not wake, with the wooden frame singing in the swing?
Tip toe, tip toe, why does the floor yell at me so
Halting, stop, peering over the figure there
Upon his bed, so comfortable, so asleep
He does not snore, so deep he is, and I take a quick peek
Sweat continues to grow, and I feel so terribly frail
Was that the sound of the guards down the hall, I hear?
A watch guards whistle toot?
Calm down, calm down, no one knows you're here
Sliding forth, the blade touches silken cloth
My mouth is dry, my lips they hurt
I slide my sandpaper tongue across them, no help
A thrust forward into the sheets, and another before he can shout
Crimson fluids they spread, the figure looks into my eye
As the liquids stain the bed, a look of confusion touches the boy's eye
Even so, he soon looks at peace, and it is I instead, who begins to cry
Was a crown really worth... watching my older brother die?

Remember

2008-09-20T08:00:00.001-04:00

I remember back in the day
So long ago when we used to play
Children who would lay
Constantly over the sky so dark

Do you remember when we used to be
Full of joy and completely free
When you and I, we both could be we
And the horizons we would see

After the morning over and school was out
Travel together voices loud, shouting
Sitting on the hillside drawing without doubt
Of the mountains and its trees so stout

Painting the world in our young eyes
Cobalt blue beautiful skies
Pink stained horizons made us sigh
Remember when we used to dream we could fly

When all we needed to go on
Was our absolute fascination
All we needed was to believe in
Our passion of life

But now we need something more
Far more than ever before
Where dreams can no longer fuel
And everyday seems much more bleak

Sometimes I can close my eyes and imagine
And sometimes I can feel my childhood heart
Sometimes I can close my eyes and imagine
Leaving my pains and troubles behind

We need something more than ever before
Even more than I've ever needed before
In my childhood dreaming
But sometimes I'm not sure

Maybe I've got it all wrong
Maybe I've got it just right
Maybe I've been this way all along
Or maybe I'm still in my pure world of white

Maybe if I make believe
Maybe if I try to dream
Maybe if I find strength in what things fail to seem
Then I haven't wasted my life

Sometimes I can close my eyes and imagine
And sometimes I wish I hadn't been so rash
Sometimes I can close my eyes and imagine
Leaving my pains and troubles behind

Watching that fading sunset light
Watching that fading moonlit night
Watching that fading starlit sky
Watching that fading cloud on high

Feeling all my passions drifting away
Feeling all my emotions flowing away
Feeling all my sufferings floating away
Feeling all my life going... going away

Remember back when... we were young
When our greatest burden was the castle in sand
Closing my eyes as the chill sets in
How I wish again for those sweet sweet days

Rainbow Pink

2008-09-20T07:49:00.001-04:00

Once upon a yesterday
The sky was black, the lightning flashed
And it was darkness flooded with an eery light

Once upon a yesteryear
The ground was painted black, and snow chilled
And it was darkness powdered with an eery cold

Once upon a tomorrow
The sky was bright, a rainbow cross my sight
And it was a beautiful, pink filled night

Once upon a forevermore
I'll feel that feeling you put in me
and I will feel eternal warm

Ode to a Drink

2008-09-20T07:46:00.001-04:00

Man to man, eye to eye
A gaze that spreads through eternity
Heart thudding, deep exploding, a drum filling the night
Steel to steel, a reflection seen, the brilliant lantern light
A smile for smile, they do stare, their visage without fright
A clash, a clang, boom, bang, metal meets metal
Sparks ignite, flashing bright
A dance to end troubled minds, to bring about eternal sleep
Crash, crash, another smash, slip and slide
A pause, together, swords in embrace
"May God Forgive" says One
The other, "Both of us, whence we are done"
Withdraw, a slash, overhead and beneath
A twist, a spin, it happens oh so fast
Befuddled, onlookers glare, fear upon their eyes
Breath is taken, gazers shocked, and tears glisten
Wives wait, and children too, for their father's fate
Another, once more, a thrust that pierces through
One drops, then the other, exposing in one then two
Silverwrought iron protruding through backs
They hold one another, tightly upon their shoulders
Listening to kin weep
They remain silent and in moments, bizarre they laugh
"A beer, was it worth it?" Asks the first
And the second grins, "Definate, to quench our thirst"
And let it be said, as there are two widows
that two men lay soon to be dead
The rock road to be their final bed
And their foe as last company
That beer was worth being stabbed

Grim's Cradlesong

2008-09-20T07:44:00.002-04:00

I have for you a song
A song I'll softly sing
I know you will sleep
So soundly will you sleep
Child... dear

I stay near, I am right here
Don't open your eyes, don't wake child
Listen to my voice, it will be awhile
Sleep and comfort quietly come
Sleep and I will be done

Of an Ocean will you dream
An ocean made from sand and earth
A tide drawing you to moonlight beams
Rest now, Rest now, Lose your dread
Sleep as wild flowers creep cross your bed

Dream of the coming light
The silver shadows in the night
As gentle showers of white drop rain
Eases away your pain
Light steel pulls away
Crimson stained
