Bullet

Blessing of silver, wrapped in fire End my life, burn my desire There is no use in living again When the last pursuit ended in vain Should I put you through my head As I lay on my deathbed Or shall I send you through my heart Already dead and torn apart I thought this …

All Over

I’ve been through countless lives I’ve traveled endless places I’ve been stabbed by countless knives And flew through endless spaces I’ve lived as a poor beggar And died as a wealthy king I’ve had rooms full of sugar And sirens which could sing I’ve had many daughters and sons And raised many dogs and cats …

Vampire

I lurk in the dark waiting for you As you pass by your light shines through I crave your scent and your radiance I pray you grace me with your appearance Yet how can I pray and to whom? I am deathless and escaped doom I used to long for immortality When I got it, …

It’s not you, it’s me

If I pass you and don’t greet While I’m walking down the street It doesn’t mean I’m avoiding you It’s just that I didn’t see you If you talk and I don’t reply It doesn’t make me a bad guy I’m probably focused on another matter and have blocked out all the chatter If I …

A Hope of Love

So great is the feeling of love But greater is its hope So high is the heaven above But higher is its slope Falling in love is effortless Getting the other is what’s hard All will be easy unless You’re met with disregard But lucky you are when life Looks at your work and strife …

Wounds

Wounds come in shapes and sizes More that anyone realizes There are those of the body and mind And those that none can really find Wounds of the body are easiest to heal A drop of balm would help them seal Wounds of the mind are deeper though And they take longer than we know …
