TAKE THE HILL!
Amidst the flames, amidst the pain Amidst the brutal bleeding reign You must push on, you can’t relent You fight until your will is spent And when it’s spent, you push some more Until you’re at the Devil’s door With smashing power, iron will You chase that Devil to the hill You plant your flag,…

Transference
So many, many years ago, you took everything from me. My family, my place in the tribe. Everything. For years, I wandered, alone, swearing an oath of vengeance upon you. So many times, I thought I had taken my revenge. I had seen my spear pierce your chest, only to see you alive weeks later.…

Energy Ascendant
Headed toward destruction Just past the speed of light A star gone supernova This will be my final flight Said goodbye to family Said goodbye to friends I went to sleep contented Content to meet my end The life I lived was good Well, maybe not so much A relic from another age So distant,…

No Theme Thursday: 05/30/24
Good day to all, and welcome to this week’s edition of NTT. After giving it some thought, I have decided that after this week, it’s time for a break. The main reason for this is that, if I am being completely honest, I have been struggling to come up with what I feel is fresh…

It Can’t Be Done (No Escape)
They said it was impossible That it never could be done No one could ever leave here The odds were slightly less than none But every night we dug and drilled Music muffled what we did And when the guards walked by at night Behind dummy walls we hid The vent they left unguarded Was…

In A Time When…
In a time when attention spans are shorter than Jason Statham’s hair. In a time when rudeness is as common as a WordPress glitch. In a time when no one remembers… One Gorilla Does. He remembers when a phone was just… A phone. He remembers when the cars were fast, and the women… Were faster.…

Of Silence
Look up high, the day is done We say goodbye to setting sun A calming hush felt all around Among the trees there’s not a sound The world at rest, the world at peace For but a moment, sweet release Cherish silence where you can For soon, another day at hand Embrace this moment, drink…

Lunar Spectral Musing
Lunar spectral deity A spirit ever roaming free You magnetize, you hypnotize No one escapes your watchful eyes You wax and wane, your secrets hide But to their core, some know inside Your riddles are a compass To the knowing, you’re a guide You show us what you want to Keeping sacred what you must…

Calm Within The Storm
Rain is driving ’round me The wind is howling high The clouds grow ever darker Deadly demons in the sky The beasts they bellow louder Destruction taking form But the fear it cannot grip me I am calm within the storm © The Beginning At Last

Horizon Journey
Horizon far, a dawning day Another mountain in the way Conquer one, another rises Only difference are the sizes My head is aching, body sore I feel I cannot take much more Yet still I walk and still I climb As I have done for all this time One day I’ll reach, I must believe…

Among The Stars
The brightest star I see tonight Imagination taking flight To places far away from here There is no worry, have no fear For in the stars our dreams reside Unfettered, free, no need to hide In stars we are both lost and found Amongst the stars there is no sound Here with the stars we’re…

Inner Demons
The demons sleeping deep inside They’re the ones we try to hide Pious, good, we claim to be The demon’s dying to be free You deny what is yourself You try to keep them on the shelf Afraid to say just what you are Afraid of judgement from afar Why do you hang your head…

Cry For Mercy
They called me traitor to The Crown My blade, a steel of great renown They threw me out and cast me ‘side They thought that I would run and hide My reputation, torn and tattered My body bruised, my armor battered My resolve, what they dismiss A vow I take, I promise this Before I…
