Dragged up and down this furnace against the blistering barricades
The sirens screaming for sweet release, as they sit back and watch with amaze
The war zones breath fire as pillars stack while words propagate and lie
Worn on their sleeve, a soldier bleeds virtue while a warrior bleeds pride
The lines drawn, the enemy masked but all seen is what their merciless eyes reveal
Children used as targets while troops used the love of kindred as their shield
Bullets hiss with steam as smoke plums from flaming barrels
Screams escape from throats choked with ash, as steel collides with flesh and metal
Knees quake as the broken ground shakes and
Came home the other day and relaxed for a time
Looking through blood shot eyes, I envied the young
As he ran through the room, I felt my absence a crime
He came up and gave me a hug, so proud of my son
He turned the other cheek and asked, "What's wrong dad?"
Holding him with the same stained hands as I had
I replied, "Another hard day" as it always was
And he understood, he knew he had my love
Sometimes it was so hard, the labor too much
Before I knew it, my demons took advantage of such
But there came a hand, along with the same loving smile
From my partner, my best friend, then I knew it was all worth while
Even if life can topp
Never again, never again
The soul born, our life begins
Our first tears shed, never to be our last
Because of the burdens that never come to pass
People envied, lies woven, women scorned
Hell on earth promised to those who are born
Days gone, dawn's light a thing of the past
Glowing with our happiness with each finished task
The heart's cry becomes the loner's song
Searching always for that place where we belong
A second doesn't pass when we don't think of that place called 'home'
Deepest fears realized when we're truly alone
Never are we prepared for life
Each sorrow, each plight
To one day find the point, life's hidden meaning

A Memento: The Man in Gray
Generations come and generations go, however, only one thing remains the same
Where we all came from, back down the path towards the beginning
The soul that taught us the meaning of change, of our character, and how we became
It is the memory that which defies the clock that keeps on ticking
A portrait painted as he sits with his pipe in hand within his evening chair
Smoke pluming, the strong hint of cedar lingers within the air
With a heavy groan, he grabs his leg as if there were a painful twitch
A throbbing in his bones, he sighs and shouts "Damn that old bitch"

Heart's Cry, Wolf's Song
It is the time of hardships that presses morals against mantles
Only to be brought down by a nightmarish reality
The key thrown away for the iron shackles
Loss and defeat becomes an common normality
Like tears lost within the ocean's tide, one shed for every sin
The rights and wrong become defined by the individual
Driven naught but by our desires within
Clouding our eyes, hope becoming all but illusional
Down the beaten path like a bludgeon force in it's wake
Lest we be consumed by the hardships that strive
That walk hand in hand with our mistakes
For the brief moments of victory do we feel so alive
The wolf howls, to chase, to

Through My Soul, I Bleed
Through tempered flare and sorted emotion I watch
From my ivory towers and shackled hands under key and lock
From stained window, the screams of my soul ever stare
To the objects of my desire, under their hold in this hellish lair
Stains on the glass, from my fingers or my heart
Never shall I leave her, my love we will not do depart
Dark eyes and a blackened soul, it screams with evil's fury
When opened, judged harshly am I by fate's unmerciful jury
Ring, ring, let the heavens sing as the sky is succumbed to the dark
The trials come such as the lightning as it's hateful spark
Inside these doors, I shield others against my righteous
It is on this road that we all travel down and live
To give and take from others, to want and to give
But on the inside, there's the face we cannot always hide
It's the mask that shadows us, warps our being and twists our pride
It pulls us into its whirlpool and tosses about our morals and our thoughts
It breaks them down, twists them and throws our emotions about the rocks
We try to hold strong the façade of peace on the outside but cannot resist
Like a being inside, it grabs a hold of us and breaks free, so it would insist
Against friends, we shield against the storm, this growing thing called Rage
Out of the sight of others, we wa
Every time he looks upon her, longs to see her what seems to be everyday
A new feeling arises, filling the void of the empty anew in everyway
A smile like the sunshine and a laugh to cast away the gloom near the mind
He is accepted for who he is, despite the skeletons that she has come to find
Friends by the many that do stand by his side
By his morals and his outlooks on his life does he abide
No matter the numbers, in his dark world does he still reside
Waiting to expose the truth held deep inside
To be judged by his peers is dead and done but one thing remains to be seen
If his past can be left behind, to be washed in the waters t
There is a person I've come to know and love through the many ways we know each other
Through her eyes, she's shown me the lighter side of life through a dawn, morning light
Through the many trials she has come to face in this thing we call life
Never did she back down, even now in white sheets, she continues to fight
She walks still today proudly by whom she calls friends that now watch over her
I stand even more proudly among them, to know her regrets and her fears
She looks to me, and calls me her angel who has helped her falling from grace
Even with the smallest pain, it hurts to see even the smallest tears
In her eyes, a mirror o

A Momento: Demons and Angels
It is the time to weave a tale of a tale long since forgotten to the sands in the scope of time
A story it is, about two people, and the link that is love between them, a melody that would chime
From two different worlds they are, but two of the darkest pasts still remain
But together, they will fight through the hate and battle through the pain
On the gentle winds of heaven glides an angel, that of the heavenly host
Much she has been told, of the dark demons and devils does hell consume the most
Though she is not of the fallen, though many torments and hates she had to endure
On a path of pain, what fact remains that she has a pure he

Fear of the Rising Sun
There she stood, under the embrace of the night sky, the moon making her skin a dark pale as she pulled her black cloak tighter to her breasts. The crescent moon had long since been a friend to this woman, for as long as she had lived, she looked to the moon and hoped without knowing why, she wanted to someday see the moon replaced by the sun. To look into the ball of flames, but even as she shuddered, she embraced the thought of the warmth that had long since ceased since her life. To walk among people, but what were people? Were they beings that could walk among the heat, among the gaze of the solar shine without being burnt to ashes?
I am fate. I am what mankind has created with his mind; I am the illusion, the excuse, and the reason of men's actions because they cannot take responsibility for their own. I am the thing that dictates actions made before every man, woman, and child was born and I will decide the outcome of the future. Before you were resting in your mother's womb, I decided your life, your thrills and your pleasures and the one you would wed. I am the drive and the force that moves the stars and galaxies among the heavens, their actions, also, do I dictate. But, what if?
"What if there was no such thing as fate?" A man once asked this question. On the road
There are endless tales where people speak of battle, about brave souls risking their lives as if it were simple feats that could be done by any other. To plunge a sword or swing a steel rimmed axe to make the finishing blow on a weaker adversary. They triumph with ease and came out to the brave hero, but what of those souls that had to fight harder, push themselves beyond those limits of body and mind to overcome the fight? The heroes born of blood, sweat, and tears? They could be the farmer, the warrior poet of the bards, or perhaps a magician who can weave a spell or two. Taken from the journal of a man who went by one name, was not f
Only In My Dreams (This Nightmare Called Life)
With every breath I take, I live my life until I awake
In a place of dreams, my life is what I conceive
Master and maker, there is no death and no undertaker
No longer a realm of fear, now there are no more harms, not even tears
But in the real world, I awake and with every turn, another mistake
Always in the path of fate, with every choice, always made too late
If only we could retreat, back to this place of peace we will meet
You will find me there, make no mistake, with your hand, you are whom I will take
Because, only in my dreams
Can there be a place of serenity
Because, always in

Serenity... We Meet Again
The lightning struck from the skies, a sound of thunder bellowing in the distant plains. The high blades of grass fought against the wind as the rain assailed it from each direction, adding more streaming droplets through the crevices of ancient, old trees. The plains were dark this night, with an aura that was unsettling to the few and the brave that would have stood among it, and still the horseman rode. Under his cloak, he peered with gloom stricken eyes in search of something; he pushed past the pain and sought a peace he had not known for many moons. He was a lost soul among souls, to be reborn through another mortal shell, on anoth

Tears poured down her face from laughter, a sensation that was gladly welcomed to a worrisome life. Almost everyday, she ran outside the doors of her home and her school to spend well deserved time with friends, away from restrictions and confinements that held them down or got in the way. She smiled as the wind glided through her hair, the sound of the wheels rubbing grinding against the road the only sound between her and peace. The sweet smell of flowers traveled about the air as flower pedals danced about, a few landing in her lavish strands of hair. Savoring moments these were that made eve

Has it really been this long since I've written in this thing? Cobwebs are everywhere on this page man.
Finally got the net back up and running, been running across cyberspace finding all my old hangouts, friends and such. Sucks though, apparently my old msn messenger address got disabled down the road, now I can't use it. Guess I gotta rummage through some old hardrives to find all my old addresses.

Just sat here thinking recently, nearly a year has gone by since I graduated. High school seems so far away and it feels like I was walking down the aisle to grab my diploma yesterday.
So much has happened, so much has changed, it's mind boggling sometimes. I've worked myself up in the workforce, got a new job that's really taxing my body. Working 6 days a week and my arms are completely covered in bruises, some are the size of baseballs. Guess that's what I get for working in furniture, but, it pays well.
