Jasmine in the Night
In the end what truly matters? What can we do?
When everything shatters, will chaos ensue?
Jasmine blooms in the evening light
Or will it all be nothing? Oblivion, naught?
Can what will be, be comprehended with thought?
The scent is heady in the early night
When this fight is o’er, what will be left?
Will it be a world that is empty and bereft?
The stars sparkle in the indigo sky
Will there even be a world or just empty night?
Will there be anything left to set it all to right?
So peaceful, eternal is it all a lie?
Then this is it, it is over the end

DEDICATION
Deep in the darkness of the night
I fear greatly for all that is light
Knowing in my heart that something is wrong
I try to ignore it but the feelings to strong
Where is the sun, the moon, or even the stars?
The shadow hides everything all light it mars
Hopes lost dreams shattered
Everything that truly mattered
All evil done by humankind
Darkness killing all light divine
Losing faith I surrender there
Weeping bitter tears of despair
But suddenly a blinding brightness I see
By a single act of love light has been set free
All goodness comes and begins to fight
And thus ends the reign of darkest night
I dedicate this to everyone who has fought a hopeless fight
To all those who have raged against the dying of the light
DEATH OF INNOCENCE
Upon the innocence the darkness fell
Upon childhood fed demons from hell
What is left in tatters on the ground
Hopeless weepng is the only sound
Would that we could die then and there
But we will live and suffer in dark despair
Among the carnage that was purity before
But is bright and beautiful no more no more
NOTHING WITHOUT THE MASK
You taught me to myself to be true
Of course that would be easy for you
You said I should always just be me
To loose the mask and let people see
I can’t do that and you don’t know why
Because I’m nothing without the lie
I’m nothing without this practiced smile
Nothing under the mask that’s worthwhile
In the end I am only the mask
So I cant take it off when you ask
RESTLESS
So out of control
Like whirling darkness
And stormy skies
Seas by Tempest
Tossed and Troubled Are
My Soul Cries
DUMB AND BLIND
My soul wanders through the forest deep
Trying to find a path to which to keep
Trying to choose a single way
To go through life from day to day
But many paths once lit seem good
In this dark and ancient wood
And now I'm lost as can be
How I wish I could not see
But only follow, as others do
The path they were taught was good and true
Faith is dumb and blind, and I now know why
Nothing troubles the soul more than the mind and eye
In the end what truly matters? What can we do?
When everything shatters, will chaos ensue?
Jasmine blooms in the evening light
Or will it all be nothing? Oblivion, naught?
Can what will be, be comprehended with thought?
The scent is heady in the early night
When this fight is o’er, what will be left?
Will it be a world that is empty and bereft?
The stars sparkle in the indigo sky

Will there be anything left to set it all to right?
