(Rain)dancing The Night Away
Dancing in the rain Dance away the summer night Looking fine and pretty Raindrops shimmer under light In the background Eddie’s playing David’s singing just to you You can hear the drums start beating And the bass is pumping too Will you look my way? Or on my way should I just go? Because dancing…

Little Dreamer (Wandering The Veil)
I see you wander, Little Dreamer Through the landscape of your mind I see you wander through the veil So unsure of what you’ll find A path so cloaked and misty Does it hide an open door? And I see you’re back this evening Just what are you looking for? Are you scared that you…

One More Day
A walk through valley Shadows dark Another life Which missed the mark In desolation All alone A crushing pain Straight to the bone An outcast true A nomad’s life The loneliness Cuts like the knife But in the distance Shining light A burning beacon Dead of night All an illusion? Or hope at last? You…

Welcome To Tomorrow
Welcome to tomorrow August 2099 Everything is perfect Everything’s completely fine The androids run the system Everything runs right on time When you’re riding through the city You will notice there’s no crime Everything’s so neat and clean Not a second do we waste Everything it looks so sterile Styled in robotic taste You may…

Strength Beyond
Strength beyond An iron will I am the thing You cannot kill Come here, Death And bring your best You’ll never take My final breath Challenge me I dare you try The disbelief In soulless eye When you find I am your pain And you shall kneel Beneath my reign I’m stronger than You cannot…

Thousand Yard Stare
Thousand yard stare Just a casualty of war Can anybody tell me What the hell we’re fighting for? Politicians dirty games Money, power, greed A war we never asked for Another war we didn’t need A boy arrived on Tuesday He was in a firefight He was crying for his mother As he died on…

In The Desert
The following poem was written by our very own Daisy. It is a No Theme Thursday entry. Due to a technical glitch and slight miscommunication, I wanted to post it to make sure it was seen and read. Please feel free to leave comments below for Daisy, or better yet, stop by her blog and…

Solace In The Strings
She finds her solace in the strings With bow’s caress it sweetly sings It takes her back to better days A smile soft, as on she plays Within her mind, a symphony A backward glance to days so free As she lay it gently in it’s case The smile slowly leaves her face The world…

This I’ll Defend
This I’ll defend, unto my death. This I’ll defend, ’til final breath. This I’ll defend, I’m honor bound. This I’ll defend, for King and Crown. This I’ll defend, these castle walls. This I’ll defend, these sacred halls. This I’ll defend, forever free. This I’ll defend, I vow to thee. ©The Beginning At Last

Lake of Penance
From the mountaintop They cast me At the bottom Left for dead I was wounded I was bleeding Inner heart Filled deep with dread In the Lake of Penance Drowning Gasping Panic through my head Slowly touching bottom Perhaps My time had finally come Slowly losing feeling Everything Becoming numb A spark from deep within…

I Remember
I remember when this house was new It was built on lands pristine I remember when this house was full Most joyous days you’ve ever seen I remember Grandma baking As the family gathered round I remember late night singing Never heard a sweeter sound I remember Mother reading She always voiced the books with…

In The Ever Of The Afterglow
In the ever of the afterglow Dancing deep into the night In the ever of the afterglow Underneath a shimmering light In the ever of the afterglow Caught within an astral flight In the ever of the afterglow I hold your body to me tight In the ever of the afterglow Nothing ever seems amiss…

Not Clowning Around
They said that I was funny That I was the perfect clown But I must confess that lately All I really do is frown The trapezist stole my lunch bag And the ringmaster’s a dick I want to stuff him in a cannon And fucking launch that little prick He withheld my freaking paycheck ‘Cause…

Flow
In a world so rigid, we must flow For if we don’t, we cease to grow Like water ’round a riverbend We learn to flow, we start to mend Like tranquil oceans, summer sands Like water flowing through our hands If we learn to flow, we move so swift Roll like a stream through nature’s…

Picture Perfect (Reality In Autumn Night)
A picture perfect moment On a perfect Autumn night It is nothing but illusion Whims of fancy taken flight Reality is different It is often cold and cruel It will leave you feeling broken Leave you looking much the fool I once swallowed these illusions Now I’m wiser and I know That the world will…

Through Halls of Glass & Mirrors (The Disregard of Memory)
In a hall of shining mirrors As I walk upon the glass I look at moments faded All these things I slowly pass Some stir up emotions Some stir nothing up at all Some make me want to shatter See the shards of memory fall I force myself look forward There’s no need to look…

The Die That’s Cast
It’s all within my hands I have the power to destroy I knew that I was different Knew it since I was a boy I was mocked for being special I was beaten, bruised and scarred It left a chasm in my soul My faith in man forever marred And now the time is coming…

The Father/The Son
The Father This is your birthright. Your destiny… Why do you reject it? Why do you deny what you are? What you are meant to be? From the day of your birth, your path was determined. And yet, you walked… No. You ran away from it. Foolish boy. You dared to defy me. No matter.…

Outrun
Incoming sighted Approaching NYC Panic in the streets Military mobilizing Bug out The day I’ve predicted for so long It’s here Knew it would come The path was set so long ago Selfishness Avarice Hate Power It was plain for all to see If they only opened their eyes I saw I knew Get out…
