Another turn around the wheelAnd we are back where we began.Together, we at last reveal|The ending of this caravan.Together, we reveal at lastOur destination unsurpassed. Yet reunited all the same,Forgiveness is too slow to come.While some insist themselves to blame,Still others to the dark succumb.Another secret to conceal…Another turn around the wheel. | […]
Not all with power have the strengthTo wield it as they should,For some would go to any lengthTo conquer what they could.But truth be told, the greater mightIs in the greater good,And those who choose instead to fightAre seldom understood. | | Written while listening to Hammock’s Everything and Nothing (2016).
I really don’t have much to say…And yet, I’m writing anyway.My Muse left me in disarray(Today was kind of rough).Tonight I’m on my own, it seems,And driven mad by such extremes.To write about a lack of themesIs far from highbrow stuff. | | Written while listening to Birth of a New Earth […]
I’m out of energy, it seems.I’ve no more strength to give.If might is right, then might my dreamsProvide me life to live?I find it tough, this thing I face,And don’t know where to turn…And yet, because of God’s good graceI still have much to learn. | | Written while listening to Stardust […]
And now back to the other showI followed for a time.Three in, and I have yet to knowIf it is truly prime.The endless wheel of shows I watchIs sometimes hit or miss.Thus far, I find it quite top notch(Still, something is remiss…). | | Written while listening to Devin Townsend’s Terria (2001).
Another day, another wayTo make the darkness go away.Another chance to watch the danceBefore the colors fade to gray…I saw the show. I even knowWhat happens next and where they go.Their circumstance will not advanceUnless they beat the status quo. | | Written while listening to B-Tribe’s 5 (2003).
I’m angry over things that were,The endless debts that I incur,And all the points in time that spurMe on to greater things.Regardless, though, I still have hope,And know that somehow, I can copeWith everything. This narrow slopeA happy ending brings. | | Written while listening to Emperor’s Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire […]
Last night, shortly before I was going to sit down for my evening poetry, I lost power. The entire neighborhood found itself without electricity for some time, while I found myself caught with a very low percentage on my mobile device. With little other recourse—but a reminder of my reliance upon electricity for not only […]
Adventure is another wordFor battles won and fame incurred,For quests and missions oft absurd,And treasure most of all. Adventure too can also meanA sojourn through the night unseen,Forgotten stories told off screenBy secret protocol. Adventure is too much for some,Complexities not to becomeBut sealed away and hidden fromBehind a harmless wall. Adventure can be many […]
A moment now, before we go.Just one more line or two, you know.A few more verses, just to showThat I can still create.And then we’re off upon our ride,Across the starry countrysideOf slumber. Past this bleary-eyedConcoction, dreams await. | | Written while listening to Holy Spirit: Piano Music & Relaxing Rain Sounds […]
