This, today, I wrote a poem :

I saw your pain, in growin'.
I knew my death, in dyin'.
Your voice I heard, 'twas heaven..
And livin' now, smilin.

(No longer am I dyin',
But then, this is, a poem.)

"DENIAL"

Why
do I bother
to deal with the world outside
To see all that chaos
Then feel it deep inside

I try
not to question
the ugliness all around
To see the insanity
Then watch it compound

Deny
what I'm feeling
and focus on life out there
To critique it's imperfections
The maybe I won't care

am - '98


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

am - '98


A warm embrace envelopes me
And drives away my terror
Haunting shadows flee from it
Their memories do surrender
It's folds bring peace and harmony
To my tormented being
Who's caress doth comfort me
So I may wake contented

am - '98
