I'll start... but with something old.
Final Words with the Wind. - originally posted 3-25-08
Long have I walked through these halls
So many times now it's been
And see what they have to offer.
I've lived lives beyond craving
Felt touch without saving
And have loved without knowing or wanting.
I escape my maze
This; years in the making.
But sorrow still somehow find me.
When the wind wakes to me
It's voice starting to see
"Please", it calls so softly.
"I wish to know,
What ails you so,
That you'd be found so lacking."
"Desperation", I cried back
Finding no other word
"Please provide me an explanation."
I wandered my mind,
Pausing the tide,
And came back with one lengthy answer.
"I find it in me to seek companionship,
Only helpers I find
Never a solution."
"I try and I try,
Waiting through days and night alike,
Til I find no more room in me to wander."
"I pray and I pray,
To begin, if I may,
To move along with this so called life."
"The answer is not one you seek," She said.
"For it is an easier question you ask,
Than 'Who is this companion?'"
"You must not live,
You must not wait,
You must not seek this love you will take."
"It is with disgrace that I say
That to live you must lay
And weigh your judgment to come."
With a harsh breath it blew
Taking me from my feet
And leaving me without my bearings.
I flew far that night.
Into dreams in the stars.
Into all the Heavens I could long for.
"They weren't for me."
She said in darkly toned voice.
"They'll be your undoing should you stay."
"They're all I could want,
What harm could possibly befall me?"
"It is not your time to be happy."
"In desperation you see
but truly you cannot.
Your view is completely distorted."
"You know what you want
But not how to want,
And so you are left with a stain."
"This blemish will fester,
Turn life into hate,
And destroy your world around you."
"It's not what you are
Or what you'll become,
But how much you want that is wrong."
She sat me down once again in my hall
Saying 'So long had I sought to leave
That I'd not thought why I was in it.'
"Do you realize now?"
Her angelic voice questioned.
"I think so." I answered in full.
Then without any words
She left me on my own
Off to change other hearts of man.
She left me so
With my thoughts far in tow
And not with a breath about me.

Words play in and out
Writhing around the center
Meeting, clashing, gnawing, parting
They warp all that they encounter.
Mash them together
Wield them in combat
Crush down over your foes
Emerge the victor and reign
Fall to them
Cower
Use them, create them
Build empires anew
Your fate with them inevitable
Lost without your tongue
You crash to the surface
Wreathing in distress and sorrow
Disdain is found
It grips and flails
Scattered about, you sink
Heavy with negativity
Beyond the dirt, beyond the filth
Past the feces, past the vomit
Under all that dies and all that lives
You sink.
There is where you'll stop
There is where you'll learn
There is where you'll begin to rot
There is where I'll be waiting.

Regret, Part 1
There's a hole in my pocket,
walk slowly my friend,
let it go, for now friend, let it go
There's a bag back behind me
hidden deep in my guilt
let it go, for now friend, let it go
While you stepped to my beat
I found faith in my heart
it is yours, my dear friend, it is yours
Give unto me, friend
find my blade at your need
It is yours, my dear friend, it is yours.
Guide to my mind,
my heart and my soul
guide my feet swift on my way
If my eyes meet you there
what I've sought all my years
guide my feet swift on my way
Don't look down on me, friend
What's done has been done
I'm done with that life, I am done
There's a hole in my pocket
where my pride did escape
I'm done with that life, I am done

Ever Forward
Time stops and I walk on
Tides rise and fall and nothing phases me
The world turns, spinning for trillions of miles
Yet nothing can stop me on my blistering path.
Winds gust, land quakes, seas boil
The stars themselves burst
When the sun stares down upon me I look back
I wonder why I'm so immune.
Callous in my reaping thought
Hate driving my steps, sadness forcing my pace
Apathy, unbound and conquering in my wake
No one can reach me, nothing can stop me
I find walls that crumble,
I reach canyons that fill to meet my steps
Walking across lakes, oceans, continents
Nothing halts my determined path
I go ever onward
Unto my self destruction
Whilst no one stands by my side
I'm free to venture into the abyss
Ever to my doom I proceed
Meet me there with all your hopes
We all walk the same roads in time
Parallel travel never such a powerful myth as now
Wander within my pessimism
Eat yourself alive,
Curse your tongue with every word
Join me in my glory.
Watch ever so carefully,
Time is always precious
Even in unending, unyielding march
Just then, you'll see my hand reaching for you.
Did you miss it?
