O first and fairest of the starry choir,
O loveliest ’mid the daughters of the night,
Must not the maid I love like thee inspire
“Pure” joy and “Calm” delight?

- Coleridge, "To the Evening Star."

I HAVE TODAY

I have Today, 'tis all I have
And yet I want Tomorrow
For Today is far too long
And fret with strife and sorrow
Tomorrow is my fantasy
All filled with dreams and play
Why do I have to live my life
From day, to day, to day

THE THORNY RAMBLING WAY

Where go I now along this path
This thorn filled rambling way
What cross-road lays before to take
Ensnarements fill the way
I must go on. and on I will
For dragons wait behind me
I've seen their eyes, and smelt their fire
And know now that they hunger
So on I go, my fate unknown
But on this road I"ll travel
For what's behind, I know too well
To ever wish returning
And with me goes the hope and trust
That tomorrow will hold better.

THE HAUNTINGS

The hauntings of my wayward heart,
Forever wax and wane.
Oh had I lived life differently,
Would I still bear this pain?

Misdeeds once done wih frightened heart,
No care of consequences.
The pain rolls on and on and on,
And me with no defenses.

For once I long to shed this guilt,
This Albatross of pain.
I long for strength and willingness,
To cleave this thing in twain.

CONSEQUENCES

Conseqences
Of the actions of my life
Unending story
Circling 'round the efforts of my past
Got my head out of th sand
And I am learning
That we are what we have been

Consequences
Unknown payment for my life
Unending story
Circling 'round the fractures of my past
Mistakes I'll always make
But I am learning
Of reations to my actions

Consequences
Had I known that part of life
Unending story
Circling 'round the junctures of my past
I'd have chosen so much better
For I am learning that there are always
Consequences

DARKNESS CLOAK

Darkness' cloak surrounds me
Thoughts of blood inviting
Death's dark womb seduces me
Into her embrace

Tears for my lost happiness
Fears of my tomorrows
Lo the Sirens beacon me
Into their embrace

What dark Angle harkens
Tormenting with my past
What strength have I from falling
Into that embrace

Dear lord tightly hold me
Continue as my strength
Or You'll forever lose me
Into Death's embrace

THE FORTRESS

Lost and alone within myself
Untouched, and yet, untouchable
Selfishly I cling to pain
Though harder still to bear it

Why can't you ever see beyond
This wall of my protection
How hard you've tried to breach this shell
A life time of creation

How can you ever understand
The black and cold of living
Confined within limbonic dispare
Ever afraid of being

Always alone, within myself
Unloved, and yet, unloveable
Why must I bear this lonliness
To wonder if you care
