"Leave Behind"

 A fleeting thought 

Drifting through time.

Forgotten dreams

Fade into nothingness. 

The crossroads of fate

Spun into webs of deceit.

The slow decay of time

Eroding at your soul.

The entropic symphony 

Of Death's slow march.

Cold winds of despair 

Dimming spirit's fire.

A sliver of Hope's light

The staccato of your heart.

The last shred of humanity 

Held up by unbroken will.

To weave your destiny 

Into the tapestry of time.

A legend that inspires 

The future of mankind.

Even the smallest ripple

Forever changes history.

What will you leave behind?

An epic of overcoming odds?

A message of optimism?

The choice is within you.

"In The Name of Greed"

 
Broken promises
And broken bottles.
Dreams shattered;
Our hopes toppled.
Nonstop fighting
No backing down.
Against the wall;
On the cold ground.
Emptied casings
Filling up morgues.
Their blood money
Paying out rewards.
All to push product
Flooding the streets.
Our future generation
Under those sheets.
Our cries ignored
By crooked cops.
Senseless killings
They will never stop.
Blood stained alleys
In the name of greed.
We will always rally
Until we are freed. 

"Exposed"

 Lost in their eyes.

Seeing their soul.

A beating heart 

Totally exposed.

Words of passion

Igniting the flames.

Unbridled feelings 

No longer contained.

Our shadowy past

Revealed in the light.

Hopes of our future 

Now shining bright.

A dangerous dance

Entwining our souls.

One wrong misstep;

Leaves us in the cold.

Uncharted territory 

Guided by our hearts.

Serenity In our souls

As our new lives start.

"A Return"

 A return to innocence.
Shedding of our scars.
Tearing down our walls
Drifting amongst the stars.
A heart full of turmoil
We hide behind masks.
Uncertainty controlling 
Memories of the past.
Always seeking serenity 
In the middle of chaos.
Wandering in the dark
For a paradise now lost.
Holding the dying embers
Of peace and tranquility.
Our dreams left exposed
To our souls vulnerability.
As we return to an innocence
We once held in our hearts.
As we float amongst the stars
Vowing to never to drift apart.

"Whimsical Innocence"

 
Whimsical innocence
Lost in burning rubble.
Air raid sirens blaring
They gather into huddles.
The strong are called
Marching towards death.
The constant bullets
Tear through their chest.
World leaders masturbate
Their massive war machine.
Their news outlets hypnotizing
New drones join their regime.
The frozen war is now hot..
Bubbling in the Middle East.
Both sides are protesting
As police clear the streets.
Whimsical innocence
Forever lost to violence.
Childhood lost in these wars
As families weep in silence.

"Defiance"

 
They can't deny us.
They can't defy us.
They can't control us.
They can't conform us.
Two lost souls united.
Two hearts defiant.
A love burning bright.
A love worth the fight.
They tried to shame us.
They tried to mame us.
They tried to break us.
They tried to berate us.
Believed in our hearts.
We will never be apart.
We'll fight to the very end.
My promise to my friend.
A love they couldn't deny.
A love they couldn't defy
A love etched in our souls
A love they'll never control.

"My Prison"

 
I have survived.
A prison not made of stone,
But of flesh and bone.
I keep fighting
The neverending pain;
The doubts in my brain.
I have falling
Because of my heart
And soul torn apart.
I have lashed out
Against my wife.
The joy in my life.
I try to believe
There is a cure.
To live once more.
I'm holding on
To a glimmer of hope
Even when I mope.
I am pushing on
For I still believe
And refuse to grieve.
