The Grim Reaper
 


I see you
I am no fool
Like ravens over prey
You are keeping your eye on me
I see
With my one good eye
Your hunger
Salivating lips
My heart may stop beating
My arm feeling the pain of your grip
I laugh at you
You forgot to keep the musical score
As I wrote my notes for the masses to pursue
Ah you let go once more
See?
You will win one day, no doubt
Darkness is our brotherly connection
Death our final compromise
 


 
Galmi
We all know you will fly again
Over death and ancient ways

Valentines Eve
 
 
The sun is setting
As she prepares her for evening
After dusk dinner with her lover in gardens over there
Basket of love all wrapped with love and flair
 
She sets down the cutlery
Pours two glasses of red wine
A dozen roses she places on the tombstone
Candles flicker surrounding the grave
 
She clinks glasses, too you my love
I smile meekly, taking a sip
She whispers how she misses me so
She gently caresses me and sings our song
 
The moon is out, so full and bright
We dance entwined, both past and present held tight
She seductively sways, in the candle lit night
A lone tears appears upon her cheek
 
I am silent, intimately studying her face of sadness
She knows I love her, even from below
The wind and the sky both tell her so
Her tear stained scarf falls right where I lie
 
I smell her perfume, her passions my soul keeps
The night becomes chilly, for our tears so weep
She lays down beside me, holding me in stone
She whispers you shall never be alone
 
Before sunrise, up she is her basket packed to go
She places one black rose upon me as the clouds part way
She returns to her reality and me to my grave
Turning round she speaks these words
 
You can never leave me
You can never go
You are always beside my heart
For I love so
 
In the morning sun
The grave keeper is mending and pruning things just right
As he walks over me, I am startled a wee bit with fright
You see I had a dream just this last of nights
That a lover came to whisper devotions and hold me tight
 
There was no woman, no lover, no visitor to my enclave
For even the dead and soulless, have dreams from underneath
My hell on earth is to be buried right here in earthy toils
Knowing no lover will place a flower at the foot of my grave
 
The wind blows
Leaves twirling up in the sky
The wind blows
A black rose falls upon my grave

Shatter Me

 
Tic Toc
Tell tale signs
Dead angels counting time
The ballerina dancing inside
Her snow flake orb of light
Childhood dreams
Dancing in circles while screaming
Shatter me
Fragile notes upon the strings of life
Fragile hopes shattered on shores remote
Inside dead dreams does a childhood float
 


Take me to the mountain tops
Let me reach to the skies
My shattered dreams seeks the heavens
to escape this worldly globe where I dance
In desperation
Shattered dreams
Pretty silhouettes
Cracked pottery all around
Teapots in pieces
Hopes become only shattered dreams
So it seems

A Miracle





A violin that sings
In Metroland of the self-absorbed
Racing to their destinations
Forgetting the journey is the joy
On this day a miracle was born
For my ears could see
And my eyes could hear
My heart learned there is no harm to shed a tear
Young and old
When you let the story be told
With violin strings filled with magical prose
Beauty is hidden because we close our eyes
Instead of singing praises to the sky
So if you can not dance or sing
Let the music move your heart
When you hear the violins play
Stop, listen,
Smile to the stranger beside you
A miracle
Because
You are in the eyes of an angel

I Found a Girlfriend

Took me the breath of all my life
A soul mate who could consume my heart wither a smile
I found that Gothic girl after dark
A little to late to consummate
I lie in waiting with a dead round smile
Empty eyes and a lot of guile
I found a girlfriend even if late
We lie together
Frigid is our state
