There is a dark place that I know

A place where I would never go

It haunts me like my own shadow

And steals my breath away

It keeps me locked inside my head

With things that live beneath my bed

And in the closet, something said

Please come inside and play

At night I hear the scratching walls

And laughter trailing by footfalls

As in my ear the darkness calls

You damn well better pray

And if I make it through the night

I’d be a sheet of ghostly white

And never slip into the dark

Or there, I’d have to stay

I Dreamed A Dream With Close-ed Eye

And Dark Dispelled The Void

A Universe So Deep Inside

Where Light Can’t Be Employed

I Stood Upon The Brink Of Time

A Fragile Humanoid

As Gears Sung In Their Pantomime

The Rise Of The Android

Two souls with no two feet to mate

In separate lives do loom

Sealed by the eternal fate

Of tragic lover’s doom

And love that is but only lost

Hangs upon the moon

It waits for time that never comes

In desolate cocoon

And if it were to breathe

It would be dead by now

But love lurks underneath

Because it dreams somehow

The endless roaring of the ocean

The sound of the great machine

As it marches up and down the sands

Onto lands t’were never seen

The endless blaring of the wind

The sound of the great turbine

As it blows across the ocean

Weaving in and out of line

The endless thunder of the land

As it crashes b’neath our feet

Pulling upwards into mountains

What was buried under street

Cracked are the souls of triers

who strive for beauty in its deepest form

they cling to the shores of islands

in a fate of their own forlorn

They guard their essence with a labyrinth

which hath no open gate

There they wilt as time stands timeless

To their scorching grasping fate

Somewhere in the cottonwood

Lie the evil and the good

Standing there in perfect rows

Like an audience repose

And oh, its endless endless rows

And at the end the endless

For there I see no heaven

And all the dark is bendless

You turned and looked at me

Though I never saw your face

It haunts me in my dreams

The image I’ll never know

The lost world we lived inside

The darkness so hollow

The only thing worth anything

There inside, was you

But the dream burned in the daylight

Blackening my view

I am a lonely lamppost on a murky path

The wickedness in a morbid laugh

I am fear that sinks deep in the bone

That’s black as a raven and dead as stone

Darkness is my only home

and light will kill it all away

Death

You are a winding clock

That I can’t unlock

And you go tick tock,

into the night

Death

You are a sleepless day

Where I waste away

And I cannot stay

By your side

Death

You are the cold night air

And the hollow stare

of a maiden’s fair

ghost bride

Death

You are the darkest dream

Of a horrific scheme

To make me scream

As you bite

If they scattered me like ashes, all across the land

If they buried me like tooth and nail, and foot, and pallid hand

If they gave me stone to mark my life and my deathly day

And flowers flesh which rotted in a quick and voidless way

I’d be the only life of me, and only death of you

But then I’d have another life, to meet the dark anew
