Ronin
a simple man
lost upon the waves of life
destiny denied
fate ignored
emotions deceived
truth never revealed
the path lays clouded
before you
what will you do
you human creature
of habit?
now that gods have turned their back
now that she has turned away
will you find your way back
into eden?
the gates were closed
your last longing look upon her
was tears upon her cheek
her truth revealed to you
at last
the hurt in your chest
the hurt in your eyes
was it so blind?
was it so painful?
Paradise denied
paradise held in limbo
will her arms bring you back?
and make you
samurai?
God Slayer
god of hate
god of desire
god of lust
you are dead to me
god of war
god of anger
god of rage
you are dead to me
a god slayer I am
i fought them on cold nights
dreams and nightmares
screams in the air
of all the gods
I have killed
I pray I havent killed
god of love
god of hope
god of faith
you are all I have left
you are all I want
Hat by a Lamp
It glimmers in the lamplight
clinging to the bedpost so tightly
the shadows dancing
across it's brim
I wore that hat
it held me fast
it wore me well
on my old worn head
it was a gift
that hat was to me
it whisked me away
paradise should have been
the leather rings it around
tracing it in the dark
I watch the hat lay there
the bedpost black and deep
the light seems to harness
its memories seemingly to leap
I reach out to catch them
as if almost on a whim
she gave me that hat
left behind with my cat
Its only a hat I say
but I pray
the memories
stay.
Never Taken
Cherry Blossoms
Still Fall to the Ground
Never Taken
Her cheeks blush with the morning tears
and I never see them
Her love
Never Taken
My heart lays there on the floor
it has been taken
never to float in freedom
never to want to never
be taken
mistakes were made
blindness seen
the hand reached out
but was never taken
the path lays before me
the future in doubt
I reach out to it
to pray that mistakes
do not make the path
never taken.
