The Son Is Born

The dawning of a new day
I feel reborn
I feel alive
This time I'm here to stay

You closed the curtain
Wrote me off
Now you see
That you were wrong

Eat your words
Enjoy the taste
I'm here to lay
Your hopes to waste

You died to see me fail
So by now you should be dead
Indeed I fell before
Run that through your little head

When I fell
I thought of you
And your condescending laugh

I used your insults
For my fuel
The fuel that drove me back

I am alive
I am reborn
I weathered all the heavy scorn

The take away
There's only one
Payback is a bastard
And I am your bastard son

In And Out The Door

You're a riddle wrapped in mystery
What is it that you do to me?
You stand before me as salvation
And yet you are my true damnation

The reason that I leave
And the reason that I stay
One side is dark as night time
The other bright as day

Your lips are killing tools
Yet somehow provide me breath
Candy wrapped in poison
They give me life, they give me death

I feel I've had my fill
And yet I need another taste
Better off without you
Yet my life feels like a waste

You say that you are leaving
And I'm begging you to stay
When you tell me you are staying
I wish you'd go away

I never cared for puzzles
Now I hate them more
With every time I see you
Walking in and out my door

Ode To Writer's Block

Yes, I have been experiencing it for some time now. lol

Can't find the words no matter what
It's like my mind is welded shut
Combinations make no sense
Can't figure out where this "gift" went

Nothing sounds remotely good
If I could write I surely would
Unfortunate, I'm sad to say
I'm stuck on pause and cannot play

They're hanging there, just out of reach
Blocked by a wall I cannot breach
Over, under, sideways, down
I cannot see a way around

I can't break through, it knocks me back
Where words once were there's only black
A blind man in a darkened space
Can't find the door to leave this place

Happy New Year!

Best wishes for a safe, happy 2012!

One of my resolutions is to FINALLY start writing again and get this page kicking. Cheers!!

Call of Winter

The call of winter beckons me
But all I want is to be free
Of expectations, of constraints
Free of your world's awful taint

Free to live the way I want
But still I see my life you haunt
Never ever letting go
This coldness all I seem to know

Sunshine still eluding me
Chained here to this woeful tree
I'm tired with no will to fight
Resigned to stay here in the night

I fall asleep, I hear you laugh
The haunting from my darkened past
Do your worst, for I don't care
I'm never going anywhere

No Goodbyes

Something a bit different from my usual fare.

I recall your touch the day we met
And never will my mind forget
The smile on your lovely lips
As you gave to me a tender kiss

I recall the feel of your embrace
And every tear upon your face
Each moment etched within my mind
Cannot forget, nor will I try

Though times have changed and so have we
Still you mean the world to me
A different place, a different time
When I was yours and you were mine

And though we travel different roads
I never feel that I'm alone
For deep within my memories
You walk the beaten path with me

No one can take what we have shared
Or change the fact that we both cared
Beyond the sadness, past the pain
I still smile when I say your name

"To have loved and lost" I think it goes
A hollow truth but still I know
That though we've gone our separate ways
I wouldn't trade a single day

Thank you for the memories
And thank you most for saving me
For what I am I owe to you
No matter what this much is true

I wipe a tear and force a smile
These words I find hard to compile
I wish I could and though I try
I know we'll never say goodbye

Stories on the way!

Unfortunately delayed a bit due to weather/power issues around here. Hoping to get some stuff up ASAP.
