Highway Parchment Blues
I’ve been on this road forever For damnation and a day It’s a road that’s too familiar And it only leads one way At a rest stop met a devil In his eyes a wicked gleam He was selling me a promise Everything of which I dreamed No downpayment he required Said we’d settle up…

A Chance Meeting
Good day to all! I hope this post finds everyone well. I wanted to take a moment to share the above post with you all. It is a collaborative effort between myself and Laura from Black Moon Lilith. It is a fantasy tale/poem, and sort of a prologue to what may become a short story.…

The Final Song
You’ve eluded me for far too long Every night, your haunting song Your taunting laugh within my ears Always try to stoke my fears You took away all that I had Tried your best to drive me mad A coward true, you always run You hide until the setting sun With evening comes your misery…

The Final NTT Entries Post!
Well… For now. 😉 It seems strange for me to be typing this, but here’s the last round of entries for No Theme Thursday before it goes on hiatus. It will be a brief one, but all the same, it feels weird, I must admit. Before we get to the main event here, I want…

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,…

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,…

Cast Aside
Stepped upon and cast aside No one even tries to hide Absolute and sheer disdain Serve no use, I’m just a pain All the years I gave my best Tossed aside just like the rest A young man’s world it has become God bless the bottle, keeps me numb They tell me that my time…

The Dream Had Died
When I awoke today I cried I realized that the dream had died I burned it down without regret It’s something I wish to forget Another foolish Neverland Ruined by a fate’s cruel hand Life in the clouds does not exist And if it did it’s one I missed If I had it all to…

Excursions In The Late Night Wood (A Return)
Though she has traveled here before She finds she must return once more Drawn to this place, cannot explain She can feel a hunger, feel the pain Is it man, or is it beast? It does not matter in the least This calling never seems to cease Every night, the calls increase Even sleeping in…

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…

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…

The Sisters Morgan
Mary Jane and Sister Sarah rode right into town They’re looking for the Dirty Dogg who cut their Daddy down They followed him to Amarillo, riding day and night He’s headed for the border and they’re itching for a fight The Galley Boys got in the way, they’re six feet under now Nothing’s gonna stop…

Taste of Freedom
As the day is softly fading As it yields to coming night The spirit deep within me Longs to take a fancy flight Freedom from the shackles From the shackles of the grind Into a world expanding Expanding with my mind For here I’m superhuman And my limits know no bounds Here no one can…

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…

Reborn
From ashes gray I shall arise Won’t recognize me with your eyes What I was you’ll find no more Nothing like I was before Tempered like a hardened steel Sharpened on the grinding wheel My soul is hollow, fully scraped Broken down to be reshaped Stripped of armor, stripped of pride My only fuel, this…

Obscured
Secrets hide behind the cloud Sometimes silence speaks so loud Shrouded in a mystery Knowledge longing to be free Things sometimes are not so clear The answers farther, not so near Still we ponder, give our best To try and pass eternal test Perhaps one day enlightenment Or in the riddle be content The journey…

Discovery
In the temple of my mind Clarity I wish to find Far away from fellow man I seek to learn all that I can In solitude I feel my best Away from noise and all the rest I find the peace I’ve always sought Free from worry, free from thought As I feel the setting…

The Search For Meaning
For meaning true a man will look Some men will find it in a book Others find it through deep prayer We often find there’s many layers Some meditate to find the word Some follow only what they’ve heard We look for ones to be our guide When really we should look inside If you…
