History

Do you rage against Gods?
Or the machines?
Do you find cause against the government?
Or the unseen?
When history regards you dear soldier
You'll be an enemy of progress

Love Poem

We are in race cars
without control we careen
down hills slicked with oil
spouting from the mouths of dying whales
as they give their death cries
and i drive off the road and into the pit
in a dark room saints wander around
arms outstretched and eyes closed
and they moan about their health
and they wish they could sit
without being trampled
by the feet of barbarian hordes
as they sit outside the gate
and sound their horns
and stomp their feet
and they are in the city!
and they are setting it ablaze
as the king flees
his crown falls to the ground
he turns to retrieve it
but his fear sends him onward
where he finds new hope
with a new army
and takes back his home
but real life doesn't happen like that
real life happens all the time
like when I met you

and my heart stopped

Midnight Conversations

I wake up to a gun knocking on the door
Your gun to be exact
And your bullets
And your foolish pride

Go away I scream as you silently stare
Your face passionless
I didn't wake up to die
I didn't wake up to argue

And you don't understand
Damned if you ever will
Because being damned
Is easier than facing reality

I open the door for you
Pour you a drink
And let you talk yourself to sleep
But that gun never sleeps

Wonder

You die
I refuse to die
I wonder, would you have cried?

When Ya See Me

What do you see
Dream or Nightmare
Strength or Weakness
Noise or Silence

What am I like
Daft or Quick
Sentient or Waste
Rogue or Saint

What do you care?

Savage Peace

Just close your eyes
Let that darkness wash over you
Like the ocean pulling you in
Long tendrils,
Heartbeats
Sweet Sensations

As you lie suspended
That aggression is only skin deep
Destruction etches your soul
Throbbing rage,
Heartbeats
Savage Passions

As that rage consumes you
You feel what is animal arise
Feral hackles shiver down your spine
Burning strength,
Heartbeats
Brutal Needs

Question what is human
As that rage consumes you
As you lie suspended
Just close your eyes

Dark Clouds

Those dark clouds on the horizon
Speak to me
In a way no man can
