Barren Soul


Whispers come, whispers go, thrusting through my barren soul.

Wind wisping through my ears,
bearing down upon my fears.
Swaying high, swaying low,
side to side the torment flows.
Heart pounding, fists of rage,
rattle upon this iron cage.
Demons dropping all around,
flames burst upon the ground.
Glimpse the light, grab a hold,
slipping through that narrow hole.
Gaping wounds bleeding out,
stirring thunder all about.
Dagger dripping bloody pain,
piercing terror through my brain.
Stop to fall upon the ground,
jolted by this haunting sound.
Creeping deeper through my skin,
searching, stabbing moving in,
Raise my shield, kneeling low.
bleeding chest upon the snow.
Chills consuming all my flesh,
turn to fire with one breath.
Seething in and bursting out,
freedom swaying all about.
Just a whisper in my ear.
Cannot see, cannot hear.
No escaping from this hell,
beneath the grave, where I fell.
Oh my angels sweet release,
crying out in holy grief.
Dig and claw, one last gasp,
swirling through this holy wrath.
Crawling back, to dirt and bones,
pain, fire and empty groans.
None shall come, none shall stay.
My angel slowly slipped away.

Whispers come, whispers go, thrusting through my barren soul.

Veil of death by KCH

Tick tock round the clock someone please make it stop

Dancing in and out of sleep,
stirring me from the deep
Heart pounding fast and slow,
hearing whispers from below

Begging for one more breath,
beneath this veil of sudden death.
Shut eye in my dreams,
am I sleeping through the screams

Tick tock round the clock someone please make it stop

Clawing through the murky web,
weaving through my aching head
Angels on the other side,
swimming through the tears I've cried

Falling in and out of view,
Someone who resembled you,
Evil dripping through your soul,
Creeping round the floor below

Tick tock round the clock someone please make it stop

Shudder when I hear the call,
Lurking down a darkened hall,
Clinging on to the light,
In my fortress from the night

Teasing me with peaceful sounds,
Chills grip me all around.
I see the darkness in your soul
beneath the veil I've come to know

Tick tock round the clock someone please make it stop

A soothing voice calls me out,
I search and struggle all about
Nothing there, I cannot see
did you really come for me

Dark, light, peace and pain
In and out, who will reign
Will I know the one who saves,
or will I meet you at the grave

Tick tock round the clock someone please make it stop

Dare We Must


Dare we breathe
the sweetest breath
or wear a grin
while facing death

Dare we ponder
love and hate
with whispers in
our ears of fate

Dare we ask
a dying man
to wiggle his toes
in the sand

Dare we gasp
when love takes hold
or swallow the joy
down into our soul

Dare we smile
upon our fears
or laugh a little
through our tears

Dare we love
and share to its depth
as we ponder
our last regret

Dare we express
our kinder words
lest we fear
they're never heard

Dare we sing
our song of praise
while treading through
our darkest days

Dare we bring forth
our heart and soul
upon our weary
and broken road

Dare we must
and dare we will
for love will sleep
until we feel.

Until we feel
and freely move
the passion within
will not be soothed

Silence

If my lips were briefly sealed,
not a thought to be revealed

If I loved you without words,
I wonder if I would be heard

Would my eyes grip your soul,
casting doubt on all you know

Would you fall, to your knees,
overwhelmed by what you see

Would you search beneath my skin,
yearning for a new way in

Would my love be lost on you,
or pierce your heart through and through

Would you simply walk away,
cold and empty all of your days.

For Robin Williams

Did you know we’d cry along,
did you know that we would mourn?

In the darkness of despair,
did you know that we were there?

In the whispers of your mind,
did you feel us or were you blind?

Blinded by the rising pain,
slipping in and out of sane.

Could you feel, see or touch,
the love our hearts felt so much?

How could you know or even care,
wrestling with such deep despair?

Your prison wall cast out the love,
but now it flows to you above.

Center stage with love and cheers,
seeping through buckets of tears.

Go in peace and rest your soul
for then you didn’t, but now you know.

RIP to my favorite actor.

Spinning Little Orb

A little girl is combing her hair
A teenager decides what to wear
A mom is baking and running amuk,
A Dad is fixing the pickup truck
Choirs are singing and praising their God
Protesters stand against the facade
Dogs are barking and chasing balls
Cats are screeching within empty walls

Fans are cheering their favorite team
Children are starving and sleeping through screams
A beautiful baby just learned how to crawl
Gangs are forming and breaking the law
Couples are kissing, on their first date
2 minutes ago a woman was raped
A beautiful little baby was born
A father left a family in scorn
An artist painted a beautiful scene
An abused child woke with a scream
A long lost relative just arrived
A veteran committed suicide
A businessman signed a million dollar deal
A homeless man prayed for just one meal
A family spent a day at the mall
A bully pinned a kid to the wall
A father lifted his son in praise
A soldier died defending our ways
A couple just found, love at first sight
A son was tried and sentenced to life
A mother is soothing her child's cries
A bomb was dropped taking hundreds of lives

This ball in space is spinning so fast
Nothing stands still and nothing will last.
Each little life with its own little story
The pain and the suffering, the love and the glory
Someone just died and another was born
All this in a day on our spinning little orb
When you look in my eyes I hope you will see
That I am in you and you are in me
