Butterfly Wildfire (2012)

I see her walk by from my perch,
a shadow on the wall unseen.
Her locks burn of passion's color,
A wind-blown flame free of its wick.
Something about her bears...
something words can't say,
but we all feel and I know,
we are all afraid to die,
to leave nothing behind.

She dances there,
somewhere on the edge of time,
a subtle ripple on the fabric,
a butterfly echoing outward.

A slight glance backward,
a moment, can she see?
a shadow on the wall unseen,
her eyes open wide she looks on through.

Butterfly,
wildfire,
flutter away,
I see your smile,
but deep down you cry.
Butterfly,
wildfire,
fading away,
Vanishing smile now ring around,
we all fall,
we all die.

Malynn (2012)

Alone she cries, the shards lay shattered;
Pieces of society's eyes littered on the ground.
Behind closed eyes she sees their gaze,
Their whispers pierce into her mind; poison.
Malynn, oh Malynn why can't you hear me,
I'm calling out to you,
Malynn, oh Malynn, I'm reaching,
Reaching for you.
She's the summer rain, simple, beautiful;
A smile and I'm melting.
She's beautiful, a smile and I'm crying,
She's perfection, love.
Malynn, oh Malynn why can't you hear me,
I'm calling out to you,
Malynn oh Malynn, I'm reaching,
Reaching for you.
Eve, she's crying in her garden;
The snake plays on her screen, her pages, her dreams.
She hears its whisper, tastes its poison,
She's crying for Adam.
Malynn, oh Malynn why can't you hear me,
I'm calling out to you,
Malynn oh Malynn, I'm reaching,
Reaching for you.
Malynn, oh Malynn, why can't you see me,
I'm here standing with you,
Malynn oh Malynn, I'm here,
I'm here, I love you.

The Mirror (2012)

Somewhere on the other side of a mirror,
there's a world like this one
in black and gold,
where every tear cried here,
there a flower grows.
The night comes as day,
and an ocean black is
rained on by stars of gold,
here, you've been gone so long,
there you never faded away.

Somewhere on the otherside of a mirror,
there's a world like this one
in black and gold,
where the days that passed me by
play new to old.
Outside it's raining here,
there, new life is born
raised on heaven's tears,
here, I close my eyes again,
there you live evermore.

Curtain Call (2012)

My fingers trace the curtain
Velvet, shades of red,
love, shades of dread...
I've been here before,
a time or two it seems,
The lights, the music,
the crowd... a dream return...
My friends have returned,
some thought lost,
most long gone,
again we stand... here we stand.
We breathe, sideways glance,
we see and we know,
Velvet rises...
My tear falls...
Silence...
The final curtain call.

Mentality (2012)

Darkness, twisted shadows in the
eye of the world, light and dark
can't tell anymore, where does
one end and the other begin,
Seeded malice, sensational thoughts
in my head, my blood burns cold
I see red, the world ends
and it's all in my head.
I shouldn't like this but I do,
words on the page, read the lines
between, subliminal messages in my
thoughts, abomination, expectation,
I live it for you.

The Dry Eyes of Sinners (2012)

Moonrise, the sun falls on sands turned to ice,
Hell burned starfire dimming damnation;
freedom to the damned, condmemned--
the wasteland stands brilliantly painted
in black and red.
Their dry eyes flow blood rivers
to beauty known forgotten;
Saints among sinners they stand bound
in cracking chains,
their anchor to a sun scorched home,
their Hell burned to darkness.
