She’s So Evil, But…
There was a song about “bad medicine” And one of “poison” through the veins She could be your greatest pleasure She could be your final pain She could take you straight to Heaven Or she could simply take your life She could “collect your life insurance” “When she connects you with a knife” Could be…

I Am The Hunter

Restless Soul
An Autumn chill A darkened night A restless soul Is taking flight Across the skies Across all time Another word In sacred rhyme Incantations Among the stars A soul too near A soul too far A dream unleashed A dream untamed A restless soul Can’t be contained ©The Beginning At Last, Nov 2024

Inner Mounting Flames
An inner mounting flame A fire down below An ember born in anger You can feel it start to glow Growing ever slowly The flames begin to rise Reaching from the depths You can see it in the eyes Riding into battle The one for which you’re bred A fiery, focused passion In this moment…
