An old familiar place on an otherwise uneventful day Just a quick drink I said to myself, so come what may And there I saw you as you waltzed across the room all unassuming But in your wake you wreaked havoc all-consuming Dumbstruck by your air, far braver than your looks Deep went the nails, deep you sunk your hooks And as we said our goodbyes...Learn More

Beautiful beyond measure and words, it shines pristine Yet a light scratch on the surface reveals the rot within The golden land of plenty, that's how the story goes Is it gone? Was it ever there? A fact that no one knows All the pieces on the board are known and familiar to my eye But the rules of the game still elude me no matter how hard I...Learn More

Oh beautiful earth, mother dearest what has become of you lately? Have you been so lost in your own grief that you failed to notice the misery of others? But you haven’t called men of integrity as sons of yours for a long time now, mother Tell me, do you already mourn the loss of their minds? Does your soil hunger for their bones? Now these lesser...Learn More

Tough my sails have long been torn I'm still trying to make waves But as of late I feel that my soul has been spread too thin Nevertheless, headlong into the fray there's still a war to win In defiance and pride I stand as an unmovable isle As nature spews forth its darkest bile These shores naught but bones bleached marble white A testament of...Learn More

Everything is white Frozen the horizon It is so cold A heart chilling Black abyss In that icy hold Deep is the winter Deep is the snow Deeper only the hole At the very bottom Of that endless sorrow Lay the remains of your heart and soul So cold For so long...Learn More

Hearken brother, though I might have failed you An unvarnished truth is always a dreadful ordeal Inconsequential we all are in the greater scheme of things But sometimes the Devil has a cruel hand to deal So do we soldier on or crumble under an emotional tide? As we are often filled with self doubt and foolish pride But odious as it is, that's...Learn More

In darkness we are left to dwell Bound to our own grief Hand in hand we walk with sorrow Our misery baffles belief In that solemn silence A mere whisper may sound like thunder A spark to light a fire A storm that will tear all asunder So spread your wings and soar little men I've seen your heads hung too low You need to reach for the stars once...Learn More

Oh beautiful earth, dearest mother Now I know who you are and cherish you like no other But for as long as I can remember I had this crazy notion As a wizard of old I was meant to sail the shoreless cosmic ocean So I sought Atlantis, I crawled through crag and mire To find all the hidden answers that this heart doth desire No shores offered harbour...Learn More

The flickering streetlight offered no solace tonight With the sound of the traffic but a distant hum I find myself walking another dead end street In the ghost town that we have become Is there no solace for us?...Learn More

When we were young, we loved but didn't know it Wiser now, we love still, but we don’t show it It's a bloody mess this thing that we call life A rise, a fall, a stumble, a crawl, an eternal strife When we were young we could love but didn't think of it Wiser now, dwelling on the past we wish we went for it It’s a hell of a thing to live with what...Learn More

We lay together in the shadow Of an old wych elm tree Kisses were stolen and Sweetnesses exchanged in secrecy The sun crept through the leaves Making strange shapes on its way Casting shadows on your smiling face Making me think you’re one of the fay With my head in your lap Fitfully resting for a moment fleeting Still unaware of the greater powers...Learn More

A tired king wore A weary brow for a crown Upon his broken back a heavy cross That weights him down His calloused hands but a cradle now For his wrinkled forehead Yet still he lingers on while greater men Lay forgotten and dead Silent as ever, old age crept up And as he approached nearer There was a strange familiarity In the eyes staring from...Learn More
