I Dream Of You
I sit in wet grass
As the damp air cools my body.
Thinking of You
As i reach for a flower.
I look around me
At the trees and bushes,
And dream of golden fields
Towering oak trees
Grazing goats
And a House.

Nestled in between the flourishing
Colors of nature.
I rise and walk toward it.
Down an unseen path
To a wooden fence.
Enclosing the home in a glowing sanctuary
Away from the world.

I travel down a stone walkway
And reach a simple wooden door.
My hand grasps the cool metal of the doorknob
And slowly it turns.
The door swings silently open
And framed in the darkness of the house
Is You.

Lighting up the room with a smile
You reach out a hand to me
Pulling me forward.
And as i wrap my arms around You
And kiss you softly,
I know that this i where i am meant to be.

I open my eyes
And gaze up at the sky.
Clouds dance across the blue canvas
And paint a picture of your face.
I take the flower in my hand
And throw it up to the sky
As an offering to You.

I allow a smile to form on lips,
As thoughts of the future race through my mind.
For this is no simple dream
And this is no simple house.
This is what i have dreamed of,
For all my life.
But only now do i finally know
What awaits me inside.



For Melissa
I wander through dismal corridors,
Bathed in a pale grey light
Reflected from within my mind.
Human figures,
Mere simulacra of what once was
Fill the dark halls.
Hollow eyes fix themselves upon the scuffed floor,
And none see me as I pass.
I feel alone in the crowded passage,
Suffocated by people.
People I once knew
And people I wish I had.
Faces I may never see again.

I push onward through the throng of living ghosts
Searching for a hand to hold on to.
Someone of flesh and blood,
With a soul that hungers for the taste of true freedom.
Freedom from the hatred,
The destruction,
The ignorance,
Freedom from this unnatural life
That has been forced upon us.

I advance onward still,
My eyes trained downward,
Watching worn boots as they carry me into the unknown.
Slowly the herd begins to thin
And I find myself in solitude.
I glance behind me into the past
At all that I have gained
And all that I have lost.

I turn again to face the future,
And the image of a girl stands before me.
Too far from me to see.
But near enough to feel.
She reaches out a hand, beckoning to me.
I can feel the past clawing at my back,
Trying to drag me down
Into its grasp,
To consume me with fear and regret.

But she pulls me forward,
With words that heal my sorrow, and inspire my heart.
And although I cannot see her,
When I close my eyes,
I can feel her arms around me
And hear her voice inside my ears.
And it is then that I know,
With a friend such as I have found in her
I need not fear the future.



Alone
I stand blind,
The black mist of solitude surrounds me.
Closing in...
Its cold fingers caress my flesh.
My feet turn to stone
And I collapse to the ground,
Helpless.

Then...
The mist parts,
And she is there.
The blackness flees in terror,
Horrified by her beauty.
Her hand reaches out to me.
My feet turn to flesh,
And I move
To her.

Our hands meet
And fingers intertwine like vines.
We are one.
Then I open my eyes,
And the blackness surrounds me once again.



A Face without a Name
Who is she?
This girls that invades my dreams,
And penetrates my deepest thoughts.
Her soft, dark hair flows over velvety skin,
Her eyes are like black holes
Drawing me nearer...
I can no longer control my legs,
But I do not care.

Her lips whisper my name,
Yet never make a sound.
Her beauty is unmatched,
But she wants only me.
She feels so real,
As I hold her in my arms.
We sit for hours
Never saying a word.
The Moon and the Stars
Flee the nighttime sky in envy.
And we are left alone.

She looks into my eyes
Her smile lights up the darkness that surrounds me.
We share the same soul,
But...
Who is she?



A Place called Nowhere
I let my thoughts carry me away,
To a place I’ve seen only when I close my eyes.
A place where nothingness surrounds me
While I embrace eternity.
The sound of a thousand voices sighing floats through the air
As thoughts of happiness tease my mind.
I try to touch my body,
But feel only the cold blackness of the empty night.
A night of nothing
A night of everything

I allow the wind to gently carry me through a field of golden grass,
Where emerald dragons rule the skies,
And majestic unicorns guard the earth.
I pass them by,
The sound of my hollow soul echoes in their eyes.
They know me
They are me
I drift onward toward a sound like no other.
A soothing melody,
Like a bird’s song calling out to the wind,
Hoping to learn its secrets.
A light, brighter than the sun
Shines before me.
Warming me
It caresses my flesh like hands,
Grasping me and pulling me closer into the unknown.

Beneath me lies a single rose,
Red as blood.
It rises to meet me,
Encircling my body,
Dancing in the bright light.
It reflects my soul,
And all my desires.
It wraps its roots gently around my heart,
Completing me.
And it is then,
As the light dies down,
And the world hangs in silence,
That I know
Nowhere is where I want to be.


Awake
I awake.
Moonlight pierces the window,
Cutting through the glass
Like a diamond-edged sword.
I lay in the shadows,
Staring into the dark.
I can almost feel you next to me . . .

Ivory skin, soft as velvet
Pressed against mine.
Green eyes sparkling in the night,
Like two infinite oceans.
I lose myself within them.

Setting sail upon your gentle waves,
I follow the stars
Into your soul,
And find a piece of myself within.
Happiness overcomes me,
And love seizes hold of my heart.

Now I only wish to hold you.
To feel your breath upon my neck,
To kiss you gently,
Before we give way to the night.
And awake to the Sun,
With you in my arms.



Eternal Happiness
The noise of existence deafens me
And reality drives me mad.
Closing my eyes, I take refuge in my mind.
I wander through shadows in search of a flame
To light my way,
And then in an instant
You are there.

A beautiful flower,
Blossoming in the perpetual darkness
That surrounds me.
But it is only a dream.

I rush toward you,
To feel your body next to mine
To taste your lips.
And as the darkness fades
I realize my eyes are open,
And you are still there.
A tear rolls down my cheek,
As happiness fills my weary heart
And I finally embrace reality.

I close my eyes,
And give you my heart,
But when I open them again
You are gone.

A feeling of emptiness overcomes me
As your voice echoes in my hollow chest.
A sigh escapes my lips,
And I want to cry.
But I know you will return.
And I will be complete.



World Reborn
I breathe in the cold winter air,
But I don’t notice the pain in my lungs.
Uncertainty hovers over me
Like the misshapen shadow of a horror long forgotten,
But for once I am not afraid.
Life swings mercilessly at me with a spectral sword
In an attempt to devour my soul,
But now I have the courage to swing back.

I watch as the world crumbles around me
And flames rise up from the depths of Hell
Cleansing the Earth of humanity.
Ashes settle upon the scorched land,
The smoke disappears into the darkness of the past,
And a lone mountain contently surveys a New World.

The sole survivors of the devastation
Stand atop its peak.
I look down upon nothingness,
But I don’t care,
Because as I take your hand in mine
I know that I have Everything.



Angel
I stood alone in a desolate land,
With no where to go
And no one to turn to.
The sun never seemed to penetrate the clouds.
Cold wind chewed my flesh and stung my eyes
As I choked on the unforgiving air.
When suddenly a spark of light
Flashed before my eyes.
A glimmer of hope in this wretched place.

She came to me,
As if from a dream.
Warming the air and bringing life to a land
Where none could live.
She floated on wings of  silver and gold,
A beautiful angel
Shining through the darkness.

I reached out a hand to touch her,
To feel the source of such amazement.
And as I gazed into her enigmatic eyes,
I thought I saw a part of me deep within her soul.
She moved closer,
Leaving a trail of sparkling dust behind her.

And as my lips touched hers,
For the first time in my life,
I no longer felt alone.



Earth
She sits on her axis of power
As life blossoms around her.
Her core,
A steady heartbeat.
Evolution,
A malevolent curse.
Life is twisted and deformed
And a new being rises.

An evil race of maggots.
Swarming...
Feeding...
Slowly,
Her heartbeat diminishes.
A stinking cloud of Ignorance and Violence engulfs her,
Eating away at her flesh.
Cities of Death and Destruction,
Cover her surface
Sucking away life like insidious parasites.

Rulers of these Parasitic Nations
Scramble to climb the Technological Ladder
To reach the top of the Mountain of Power.
Faster
Higher
The first one to reach the top loses...



Exquisite Corpse
Daggers stab at my brain.
Voices of the damned ring in my ears.
Stale air assaults my nostrils.
No tranquil breeze can penetrate this cell.
I clench my fists
In a vain attempt to smash something,
But my muscles refuse to move.

Gray mist swirls inside my empty head.
And the sounds of stupidity echo within.
Aliens from the planet Earth
Threaten to eat my brains.
Why can’t they leave me in my solitude?
And let me embrace the darkness.

Letting out a tormented sigh
I close my eyes.
And impatiently I wait,
Surrounded by monkeys that have learned to speak,
As tiny parasites crawl across my flesh
Eating away at me,
Until I finally disappear after an eon has passed.



Dream Remembered
I had the world.
But I let you slip between my fingers,
Like tiny grains of sand.
I turned my back
And the wind swept my dream away
Into the darkness,
Out of my life.

I walked onward
In solitude’s cold embrace.
Tightly gripping
A single grain of sand.
Holding onto to you . . .
Holding onto my dream.

A dark cloud descended upon me
Taking my hope away,
And smothering my heart.
Tears flowed down my face,
In an endless river
Of pain and jealousy
But the river breathed life into my heart
And made my love for you grow.

The cloud has dissipated,
And my hope has returned.
So I wait for you.
Still clutching my dream,
A single grain of sand,
Held tightly
In the palm of my hand.

I had the world.
And I have found you once again.



The Seed
Alone it waits
In the safety of its underground home,
Caged in by the protective earth.
Slowly it pushes toward freedom.

It penetrates the soft soil,
And a single ray of light breaks through a tangled canopy of plant life.
It touches his newly exposed form.
The life-giving sun teases him
Enticing him forward,
Through an endless mass of twisting vines and crooked shrubs
Threatening to choke him,
Squeezing the life from one another.

It is an endless struggle to survive.
But he pushes onward,
Winding his way through the deadly labyrinth,
And then...
He is bathed in bright white light,
As he breaks the surface of the Dark Metropolis.

Then a curious creature comes over to look,
At this pretty new flower that has appeared.
It reaches out with a powerful hand
Grasping his thin body.
It tears him from his home with a painful jerk,
And slowly...
He can feel his life draining.

But the strange creature puts him in some water,
And places him in the sun,
To make his pain last even longer.
And at that moment,
The flower
Wished he was a seed again,
Safe underground.



The Dirt Road
Nighttime grips my world
The Sun struggles to rise,
But is mercilessly beaten to the ground.
The Moon laughs mockingly down at me
As I lay on a worn Dirt Road,
Unsure which way to go.

People pass me by,
But no one gives a second glance.
They kick dirt in my face
And step on my hands.
Can't you see me?
Does no one care?
My voice echoes through the air
But seems to get lost,
And no one hears my silent cries.

So I pick myself up from the old Dirt Road,
And choose my path without looking back.
I travel alone through the night,
In hope that the Sun will rise
At the end of the road.



Life
I step into an unknown world
Surrounded by towering shadows that threaten to smother me.
Narrow corridors lead me nowhere,
Every turn a dead end.
A mass of vaguely human forms approach,
Clawed hands blackened with disease.
A disease that covers them all.
I want only to fit in,
To be accepted.
They descend upon my frail body,
Covering me,
Raking their claws across my flesh
Not yet tainted with their vile ailment.

I lay motionless on the cold ground
Bloody and weakened,
But I resist.
They will not claim another victim.
I wander through darkness
Alone.
I find a crevice,
A place to hide and tend my wounds.
Wrapping myself in black cloth that stops the bleeding
And helps me disguise my true self.

Slowly, I unravel
Bit by bit
Until my true self is revealed.
They stare at the strange beast I have become,
Fear burns deep within their eyes
As they ready for battle against the unknown.
Powerful blades and deadly arrows
Constructed from their ignorance,
Harmlessly ricochet off of my armour.
They cannot hurt me.
But I remain a solitary bird
In a town of feral cats
Whose claws remain just out of reach.

As I rest on my perch
High above the plagued city,
A glimmer of hope appears.
Another like me
Her feathers shine like silver in the dreary sky
And Her song brings life to my weary body.

I fight my way through the decrepit labyrinth.
On a relentless journey to find Her.
I will not be another brainwashed slave
To a world I hate.
She leads me onward
Her light fills the horizon that lay before me.
They cannot stop me
No matter how they try,
Because I know She is waiting for me,
And one day
I will find Her.
