Lucid Dream
If I could find but one moment in time
To see with open eyes
This rising tide
Floding conscious mind
Deep wells where she wails
Well wishes of wishing wells
Coin thrown down wellness
Wear those wellington’s
Ground swelling bursting bridges
She sits with sorrow
Falling in focused thought
Tapping feet I hear repeat
Metronome to throwing stones
The winning hare of raising bones
No hat of feathered cap
To sit upside on ones head
But with hand sown invitations
Do we sit for tea in afternoon spread
Riddles to fiddle others to perplex
Best dressed gets the best death threat
To wellness of ourself
We toast to never boast our best
About death that comes to becomes us
In lost thinking of drinking
For sale be this old male
Discounts for the Viscount
With that less than average dismount
Should’ve just stayed in bed with that head
On such days that play
One must go without lust or her bust
Such a fools request
To spoil madness at my own request
Swing by the Motel to get well
Illuminate that frontage sign
Vacancy for the displaced mind
To obtain obscenities so obscure
Be these remedies ever assured
No insurance required if you should inquire
Just put down your crayon
Rest those drawn on legs
In lament of Margerets forgotten lamingtons
May you see everyday in your yesterday
Leave your sanity at the doormans request
Curious kitties in grinning striped vests
So be this day your second best friend
No true enemy needs such sympathy
Severe what ties you to bondage beds
Severance package in servitude of life's tyranny
Would much rather a father
To tell me how much to sell me
In place of a well placed thank you
For time be better spent
Being anywhere else but nowhere
Retired minds to be served a summons
To appear before a disordered court
For failing to report your own death
For such claims that to be wise
Would be an early demise
After cracking the second bottle of wine
If free thought were bought
Precious time would be so precocious
Annoyed there be no real McCoy
Be the allowance for youth asking allowances
Of tomorrows money borrowed today
I do say with absurd word
Just who likes a talking parrot anyway
Be I just a fool
Eating a raw carrot
Staring at all you Sharon's
Dreaming of believing
All be just a dream instead
Pirate & Pariah
Spinning hands on a wheel
Tired journey seeking
Truth to be mournful seals
No end to be revealed
Within our nomad minds
Where is the finish line?
Fog of war hangs
Upon the forgotten shore
Be there something more
What lands of new lore
Can be lost until found
Lead us whales with ancient sound
No guiding star
To do us any favour
This tour now an atlas torn
No direction in foul storms
To no regret
Set upon worlds edge
I found my best step
Mutiny off a plank
To failed pledge
What notes has long beard left
Fools gold to tyrant seas
Soon taken by creatures deep
Chanting their elven shanty
Under wailing waves
For no pirate be brave
Should traverse such a foul curse
Broken bones at dwells deep need no nurse
The one who stumbles upon thee
Will shine with heart of all seas
In times paradigm forever
A crystal palace for pleasures malice
Bring your best paddle
For a row boat needs no saddle
Abandon all hope
For the Kraken ever watchful
Those who lost their boat
Take you to Mother it will
Examine this fuss
To know we can trust
This bold sailor
Of Knights favour
Victorious Pursuits
Feeble man with a finely pressed suit
With a black hand does he point and shoot
Across the seas shall we find new spoils of victory
Go forth young warriors
Be free of life’s mystery
We fight to protect what we must never forget
Be your home the rights you claim
Find death be honour of house and name
Fight with the precision of furious soul
Leave no man stranded on foreign soil
Ensure your weapon be so clean
Your boots have that mirrored sheen
Remember we must be the iron clock
Onward we march, ticking that never stop
The enemy like us has eyes that look
Holding a mirror to be rightfully mistook
Protect what we love
No matter the cost that be lost
No brother be our keeper if the sleep be forever
Take their bodies back to where love shall be buried
Do not mourn the love we keep in their stead
City Sleepers
Streets empty of busy feet
Paved pathways to lofty homes
Lights that glow through morning mist
Alone a few of us left do sit
We enjoy the silent moments
They ease mindful thoughts
Of displaced chaos
Lost but not abandoned are we
No family but with purpose
Can we be the non exsistence
Like this city of mystery
Another success to avoid the mess
Hope slings to fate
Of when the dwellers awake
Invisible we must be
The fore ground to never be believed
We the night walking
Dreamers of glory
Never lost but found
Don’t tell our story
No face to erase anyway
Skyfall
Be you the keeper
Of curious creatures
The validation of night curses
Foul voices reversing
The order of verses
Callous be thy wretched heart
Darker then shades of sunless night
Beckon to me dwellers of deep
Scream those secrets to never keep
Be keys that fall to nevermore
O’ tyrant of forest and skyfall
Astronomers polished lightning
Curse of mothers wolfsbane
Be encumbered upon me
Ceremonial black masquerade
Melodic mayhem in misdeeds
Repeating insanity eager to decree
Our hunting games of years past
Come back at last pass
Wild hunt of night beast
Sound the starting horn
As valhalla calls from the gasp
Fallen Draugr come forth
Father calls us home once more
By sharpened axe and brethren sword
We anwser the horn with almighty roar
Hear us coming in clouded moon
Drums of deep hum
We bekon the bewitched
To stand so tall
Our fated King needs one more
Out from cold heart
We bring the fire light
The burning cascading falls
Of frozen lakes
Where fate does wait for us all
Armies of waking night
Under moon and eye
Do I call thee to fight
Hunters of lions
Wolves of north
Come forth
Fight with me on heathen soil
The one eye of ravens east
Sees us marching with living feet
Guiding the winged moonson
Our draconian spell of moving shadow
Night whisperer hear us now
Your heaven has opened the flooded gates
See us crash through your walls
The northern ice breaks your foul curse
Once more unto earth
Do we traverse this soil
Our gardens of rock and ash
Shall burn with blue fire
Build your spire
Towers tall to hide false priests
We are the moving night of darkest lighf
We are the heathens of ravens from fathers call
Run to your Western sun
We be the true east of dawn
First born to his name
Before humans crawl
Did we walk ever tall
See us join in storming song
Thunder drums that bring the wolf and raven eye
All who oppose the fated shield
Shall fall this night
The lasting midnight before our first light
We take down your false sight
Blind you with new eyes
The purity of true light
We take down what you crowned
Return to day what curse you say
The fallen light returned to sky
Darkest time be before our new horizon
Hear my call from the wild hunt
Valhalla hall emptied of fallen soul
Sculpting Tomorrow
Stupidity be the separation of logic
Suggestions to severe
Ties with a reasonable mind
Building castles from star dust
Sketching out the fallen man
Walls held by servitude
Under the silent spell
Whispers listen of calling shores
Voices trail into sea shells
Calling to take arms
All those who dwell on fallen swords
Or splintered cells
Blood be the painted sculpture
Thy crimson artist
Throwing no favour to chance
Down from thrones
Waving wands with a golden ring
Exit this mortal shell
Return to night under dark spells
Soul splitting atrocities
Not Long Now
To dwellers and fortune tellers
Be well and live through bad news
Days that fell on lost hope
Be distant of thought
Resolute be marching feet
Sale of every sensation
Sell the world
A story of boy & girl
That we loved each other
But reflecting neglect
Is yearning to hold again
The month be October
No time to be sober
Trick or treat the mind
The best remedy of enemies
A spiteful spoon for the dish
Should I just enjoy a vacation
Lost on page of dictation
A mental holiday in visual display
To my virtual villa in Spain
But no view can I hold
As others take it and make it fold
For no room to be so see through
Just memory be lost words on a page
Surround myself with no desire
To keep seeing hope catch on fire
For what promises we keep
A man who sold the world be a price too steep
Kingdoms Lost
Pushing through the piles of ash
Long ago did the fire quell this longing life
The smell ever present of chaos by words of cruelty
Be they false kings of snakes and women
The bronze crowns that sit on the heads of dead men
For no righteous words they speak
Poisoning wells from whence we drink
Watching crying mothers bury their heaven
Throwing charms to a flying dream
Streams of lost souls do we paint the horizons
At dusk do we see our two suns
Take me their in conscious stare
No cover be so blind to eyes that can’t shut
I see with new vision ever clear in the glass mirror
One for each to spy our true crime
Wonder like I never knew before
Come to me as I pull down the sky
Say goodbye and no kiss shall I find
Crowned Bones
Lost in forgotten text
This mystery of memories
An ancient land on distant shores
Hence forth decreed as an island of treasure
Sand with golden flakes
A tantalizing sight should await
Long ago on lost isles
Found a curiously drawn crown
Jeweled with fickle stones
Worn kings would wear with despair
His pointing hand fallen to sword
Forward thought to lose behind these walls
We build to sell the people lies and tales
The Fools Way
No heroes left to hold up candles for
To give thanks for those selfless acts
When did the civility
And good mentality leave us behind
Unwise be the fool to read life
And not live in memories
Built from better yesterdays
No tomorrow will find our sorrow
Never wise to self conclude wisdom
We confront a false front that protects us
Romanticise a life lived by others in fairytale
We lost our way on the easier path to take
Never late to change your way
One step towards a righteous path
If only someone would lead the way
Foolish hope to wait for a wise fool
Heathen Call
Kingdom of tombs be the prison of fallen kings
Wailing walls where the poor be buried
As skies wrathed with seething eyes
Screaming songs to break the division
Send words scrolled tied to silent ravens
The storm has washed ashore
Babylon has fallen to the sword
Depravity be the annoited crown
With vibarting sound your kingdom come down
What see you raven of one eye
Fly over rising waves and pulling tide
Give word to impending dread or fight
The All-Fathers rainbow in northern lights
Seer of stones that never rolls snake eyes
Our war cry is hammers upon the drum
Now words do we sing
Just the collective thunder we hum
Fires light and line the shore
Forging in mountain the hammer of dawn
Hear us coming from distant land
The fear turns solid ground to quick sand
Our Valkyrie sail is bare but for one star
It glistens with light reflecting from afar
Thunder echoes the voices of Valhalla
Halls where warriors still fly their banner
To None I Give Thee
Writing memos to selfless fools
Standing at the edge of worlds in view
Procrastination be mental masturbation
Waiting on introductions that never come
Subtitles for the living deceased
Heart beats in alternate rhythm
Feeling faint to find the gun
Pointed at our growing contusion
Failed to find solid ground
So small amongst a gathering crowd
Motorcades of passing clowns
Let go of our black balloons
Rising as the sky falls down
The deceivers finest
Be it painting smiles on sadness
Tearful goodbyes of shame in fairness
We bury our love in poppy fields
What remains of hope that never grows
Planting seeds for flowers to never sour
Timeless love be lost in memory
Nothing remains of the same
Cover it and throw away our neglect
But no fool would ever forget
Seeing our love wave goodbye
What is left to hold and protect
May it find us the same scarred remains
The Home is our Treasure
Those with rich wealth of life
Own watches not to tell the time
But to show value of time well spent
Building a roof we work most of our life
A place to shelter our hearts and protect
No house it be
But a home for me
A place to keep love in a safe place
Reminders that decorate walls
A photo be words we never speak
Hang them on a window
Be they fleeting moments or a crescendo
And be a space to focus our resolve
Should the working day be ever so long
Keep safe and warm all my heart
My allegiance to love
Walls ever strong hold us true
Surround us with soil to grow our fields of joy
The strength of all men
Lies within our chest
Beating and feeding our pride
And with love on our side
Do we swear an oath to protect until the end
Quothing Raven
Ravenous Ravens of wretched wind
Foul tone in lullabies do you sing
Crooked wings and tales of spring
Only storms seen in greyed out eyes
Do you bring
Tangled webs weaving well wishes
Descend upon me
Tear me apart with poisonous kisses
Carry with you no bedtime stories
Empty dreams and terrors for morning glory
Cold breakfast served as a death sentence
Scornful bird of preying menace
Leave me these cobwebs for time to save us
Spiders and rain drops make your acquaintance
Tinted Night
Shine through of hope in darkest time
No news today of fallen light
Another day of unecessary sacrifice
A self writing obituary so empty of promise
The first step to exhale this life
To the tormented
We be sincere in this apology
Holding tight your crying angel
We cannot replace what we lost yesterday
May tomorrow bind you in good spirit
Rest well in peace of sombre thought
Each Sunday we wake with no love bought
A concierge requested to carry that baggage
Never surrender the need to remember ones saddest day
Steady the rarely patient mind
You beautiful soul
Arms of worlds unseen
Hold you once more
Peace be upon you righteous child
Scratch at what scabs your thoughtful lust
No journey be safe to step in untrust
Find yourself so you may find us once again
Life As A Play
If each day were a play
Upon this stage with humorous disdain
No seat vacant for vagrancy of dust and clay
Pull back this old tattered curtain on holiday
Rehearsals held on opening night of the sane
Songs with purpose do we serenade
Backdrop of a dance to romance
Tired shoes should begin to move
Spinning with a string of her ladies violin
Her hand does sway to each note it makes
Life be imitation of art we paint
Our dreams could be the landscape we create
Does art truly capture life in imagination
Create hummingbirds to row boats into the station
The tragic comedy of life at play
Lavish luxuries for some served on silver trays
Others do tend to find a joke will over stay
Hold up our mirror to point fingers at blame
Fear not our Lady of feathers
We shall dance like a Rembrandt would never
No crowd seen or cheer we seek
Just lost souls dancing cheek to cheek
So in this sanctuary for our sanity
Let us waltz to champagne notes of vanity
Be it a silly vacation of mental motivation
Then I decree it treason of good reason
Finally a place for us to breath in freedom
