Change is to one man the death of a friend,
To another the birth of a child.
Change is the shifting of soft winds of spring,
to a hurricane deadly and wild.
...

You walk a path of yours alone
Of beaten dirt and cobbled stone
The life you lead is always yours
An endless hallway of endless doors.
...

Hours to days
Days to weeks
What value has time
Near the heart I seek
...

I never wanted this day to come,
I never wanted to see you go.
I thought we'd be together forever
But you didn't see it so.
...

A troubled life, full of pain
You long for sun but you get rain.
A broken soul, once was proud
Now covered by a sordid cloud.
...

Silence sleeps on the wings of despair
A fire, alight in her soul.
Brought on the winds of the chill night air
Hells angel taking her toll.
...

The battle of a silent heart
A solemn love, a lonely art

This man who walks an open path
...

Brimstone clouds the midday sky
Taking light from living eye
Choking plants until they die
Welcome to my mind.
...

The silent sounds of a harp unstrung
Play the mournful tune of a heart now stung
Singing timeless lyrics on a serpentine tongue
To be played eternally throughout all time
...

The river runs red
With the essence of life
Dripping dully, down the drain
...

What the hell am I doing here?
Living a life of colourless cheer.
Walking streets in constant fear.
Whispering words inside my ear.
...

The spinning cogs inside my head, I cannot stand the sound
Twisting, Turning, Furnace Burning brings me to the ground.

My brain it pounds and dances round to the beat of many drums,
...

Cross the line, razor thin
Never know what side I'm in.
Walk on ice, surface weak
Cannot help my heavy feet.
...

The world becomes my Porcupine
Sitting Forks of DOOM!
Clams that eat my Potato Bake
Apocalypse in my room?
...

Sorry is a funny word
Often said but rarely heard,
For to hear it one must say it true
'Cause it's silenced if it's hollowed through.
...

Hope
Abandoned at the bridge
Courage
Broken and misplaced
...

How much am I truly worth
How much will I fetch?
Who would ever pay for me
An awful stinking wretch
...

Darkness shrouds the light of day
Scaring all good thoughts away
From the sky falls crimson blood
The rivers bulge and rush and flood
...

Remember back to the winter's night
Out upon the fields
I lit a fire warm and bright
The chill we could not feel.
...

Day to day, Dawn till dusk
Life's planned out, In Faith we trust
Tasks at hand, Fill up your drawer
Think all the while, There will be more
...
