In the beginning There was the void A primal opening Relaying white noise Forming Vibrations It began to take shape Thoughts became form Within the chaotic storm Order arose in the light Reversing in the twilight An approach of balance Extremes within a chance Consciousness itself awoke There was silence As the song broke out So did the dance A cosmic symphony Within our soliloquy The story was written And then forgotten As It played out Within the illusion of space And the beauty of clouds Here we awoke Energy incarnate At last we can have a taste To breathe creation And lay within the lake For it will be over In a matter of time The expansion ensued Opposing contractions fate For there was balance Seemingly at the least Yet power tips eventually Thus it must be restored For the states of mortality Can never be ignored For they rise and fall A drop in the sea As was always the case

Heavens, Earth and the Underworld Gaze upon the same source A lost code in the cosmos That man, demons and gods are looking for We feel so much ambition To lose ourselves through this search As when we engage in validation We aren't looking for what hurts Our mind body and spirit Entangled through Being You know what's misleading Is that we can't stop seeking More, more and more, less is a bore We are simply empty in our core When we believe that we differ from the order As it's natural and already perfect So why do we devise complications and circuits To distract ourselves from the simple fact That we have a beginning and end on track The stars, they always recommend That we look to the present moment As that is simply what we possess A chance to experience consciousness Here in the sand, my heart takes a stand Calling to my ancestors and my blood clan I don't have the answers, neither will thee It plagued us all, most philosophers lose their sanity As it differs to you, as it differs to me, We are all floating along, universally Within the aspects of eternity A root, a branch, of the same world tree This is a mere reminder To the earthbound souls that conspire To either live in vain seeking futility, You'll realize what this poems seeks to teach As we are simply on trial To learn and love and bring one another together If you are trying to alter your reality Then you alone are living a fallacy That which the immortals laugh at empathetically Peering down, wishing they possessed mortality Chaos they say provides clarity Yet only to those upon a golden seat Open your heart, simply breathe We got this present, let it be a gift of serenity Imposing upon yourself a curse of your own choosing

Wandering down that road if you follow that lonely road Now let me tell you child wandering down that road if you follow that lonely road You just might find yourself Now baby I don't know why you Separate the truth, fact from fiction Mind control, hypnotism, voodoo All games that they play, but it's more with you See when I grasp your eyes And as you burn away my disguise Fixated upon your serpentine plated height Might and Plight meet Both the Night and Light Mysteries for mere pleasure Within layers, transforming figures You'll find what you seek When your heart truly delivers The essence of a picture Hidden within love that shivers Now as these chemicals hypothesize That I'll be out A different kind of high Still you oh you, come to my sight Within another lucid dream I suppose you are my poltergeist Play the role of angel or demon Blissfully relieved or I'm screaming Magic blossoms ever so shortly Within this present frame, endlessly Mysteries for mere pleasure Within layers, transforming figures You'll find what you seek When your heart truly delivers The essence of a picture Hidden within love that shivers Now at last, the clock shall crash Time is forfeit, a measuring glass As it has always been futile To calculate the endless spiral Some are in denial, others on trial Yet we are all of the same pile Built of a different genetic file Together we represent infinite potential Don't you worry, we'll set sail Towards the end of our trail Mysteries for mere pleasure Within layers, transforming figures You'll find what you seek When your heart truly delivers The essence of a picture Hidden within love that shivers

Well I watch you lay As each thought passes And then decays A moment too soon A chance taken too late Well my sweet love You know I can't be another case of fate Because I'm living within the lucid state Yes, as of late Please demonstrate and indoctrinate me Slow down, we don't need proof We can be alien and aloof To the bonds we've made And the bonds that we lose This world is a canvas We paint that which we choose Don't you ever give way To what's precious in truth Your demeanor Yes, you seem to contemplate the way In which your body Moves along to the sway Final residuals at last well they burn away Why do we simply relay These thoughts, rather estranged Suppose we play by the rules Yet I can't stand this game Slow down, we don't need proof We can be alien and aloof To the bonds we've made And the bonds that we lose This world is a canvas We paint that which we choose Don't you ever give way To what's precious in truth My mind's a speeding train Constantly forging a new domain Between my love and my disdain Infatuated with thoughts that remain Within the open skyline Would you consider or define This everlasting sequence Lost to the depths of time Consider our beginning As ending a piece of our mind Which was confined In our hearts that coincide

History repeats itself with such sudden conviction As we analyze our minds Predetermined genetic afflictions No longer do we hold dear Our own internal convictions Rather we cling to the fear At the bottom of our hearts ocean The waves of emotional distortion Rocking our souls upon notions Thoughts, issues and anecdotes Far and wide, so who's to know The answer for you and I Lays within an empty room Where the truth hides Fate is waiting, shall you coincide Hiding among the shadows Looking towards a distant fire A moment shatters, a quick fix No it never seems to falter That pushes us ever farther From where you just may fit Scream to your heavenly father The earthly mother absolves your sins You want to live forever? Then this is where you begin Thoughts, issues and anecdotes Far and wide, so who's to know The answer for you and I Lays within an empty room Where the truth hides Fate is waiting, shall you coincide To borrow, steal or attain your time You wish to fast forward only to rewind For our experience shall collide With our essence, hopes a message When we didn't get the lesson Acceptance too, is within you To at last release the past Forget the futures standards Live a life that is for you The only path we ever knew Thoughts, issues and anecdotes Far and wide, so who's to know The answer for you and I Lays within an empty room Where the truth hides Fate is waiting, shall you coincide

They built me my own labyrinth Once I became the minotaur Extinct of the mythological era Portrayed in the ancient lore Beaten and broken in a cage They tore off my remaining horn Plagued and filled with an empty rage Soon they will know my scorn Hell I am a saint Lord knows I'm a sinner An angel and a demon Make you smile and quiver Which road I shall take Only time will tell And to be honest, as of late Every hour I hear the church bell Climbing up to heavens gates Missed a step, back to earth I fell Ashes and embers rained from the sky Beasts of the light and night began to cry As we begged and prayed for forgiveness We realized that we alone have torn The equilibrium between love and hate We were lost for so long now we've come to see That if we can't challenge our fate We'll live the same life until we are free Hell I am a saint Lord knows I'm a sinner An angel and a demon Make you smile and quiver Which road I shall take Only time will tell And to be honest, as of late Every hour I hear the church bell Climbing up to heavens gates Missed a step, back to earth I fell Misunderstand the approach Question what we've become How can you grasp the meaning of zero If you don't know what you've done As the hour strikes love The sky births the sun Now as we meld into the shadows This melody entices the wild ones Hell I am a saint Lord knows I'm a sinner An angel and a demon Make you smile and quiver Which road I shall take Only time will tell And to be honest, as of late Every hour I hear the church bell Climbing up to heavens gates Missed a step, back to earth I fell

We float upon the fool's ship Emotions and actions are our correspondence Messages in a bottle Derail our consciousness Well some are cannons While others are merely captives And if you jump overboard, you will cease to exist Our names are written upon the passenger list We play our roles if only to persist Knowing that our mystery is reveal in bondage Knowing that my mystery is revealed in bondage I'm laying in the open water Heaven is above me Hell is far under honey And what shall we discover All these treasures are empty So I am sailing farther In the middle of serenity There lay a diamond fountain Blood was flowing rather readily Reminded me of my ancient ancestry Those that have lived and have died before me They alone hold the key to eternity The question remains, girl with you dance with me To the notes of this makeshift universe We pretend all day, all we do is rehearse I'm laying in the open water Heaven is above me Hell is far under honey And what shall we discover All these treasures are empty So I am sailing farther All the bandits and the lawyers The prostitutes and the priests The barters as well as the thieves Well they all sit upon the same feasting table Laughing and crying, spill fable after fable All are subjected to the same crucible Adhering to principles that their opposites ridicules For this environment is taunting and daunting The past, present and future are always intertwining Yet in truth we are merely subjects That inhabit the vessel known as the fools ship I'm laying in the open water Heaven is above me Hell is far under honey And what shall we discover All these treasures are empty So I am sailing farther

See I got a question What is with all the distractions There are too many lessons And never enough intuitions Been hesitant lately As my heart continues to evade me I think its fear quite frankly A fallacy fed through a screen to both you and me But enough of the reasons Humans change just like the seasons Yeah we've been bleeding Just so that we can reach a solution Reaching for absolution Yet another intrusion Please forgive my breathing It is rather misleading Yet the more I slow down The more I begin to feel Like this world is shaking me up Because honey I cant simply Pretend that how I feel Isn't truly waking me up Well maybe we are out of luck it doesn't matter anymore I suppose that it never did at all Believed that I was ever so tall Never thought I'd be the one to fall Break, shatter and ultimately splinter From the smooth summer to the frigid winter Cause I'm a master and then a beginner Warm as the sun yet you make me shiver Seeking refuge in these foreign lands Working until I cannot feel my hands Comfort the empty bottle and then reprimand The foolishness that falls through quick sand Oh these emotions make me weak A man in victory falls to defeat Yet the more I slow down The more I begin to feel Like this world is shaking me up Because honey I cant simply Pretend that how I feel Isn't truly waking me up Well maybe we are out of luck Rising through these ebony streets Please destroy this false identity Cause there is a song playing in the distant shadows And I longer want to look inside Because I've been there before and I would rather hide Cause I'm a lone wolf and I was made to lie Upon a bed of thorns and ashes Reminiscing of the sapphire sky Under the full moon lit night Where I let our embers burn out and die Nevermind that photographic memory It was meant to long ago be buried Under the sands of infinity See we are in bondage or we are free Yet the more I slow down The more I begin to feel Like this world is shaking me up Because honey I cant simply Pretend that how I feel Isn't truly waking me up Well maybe we are out of luck

There's blood in the moonlight A broken bottle on the trail Rust upon the battered sails And a ghost by the basement rails A pity we can't analyze The evidence that led us here And I can't read your mind honey I'm not a gifted seer Wonders pass me by sweet child Into the empty air I stare As you once lay in the shadows An empty hollow now is clear Leaving these chills in my veins Yeah my heart is forever stained Should I go, should I remain? Burn down the weeping willow As I can't live in fear Of what shall be done Cause in due time Empty prayers no longer keep love there Yeah cool down, lay by the ocean Maybe your fragile fingers Will run through my wavy hair I know these are lost memories We alone seem to care I met the son of god in a dream Yet it was a woman and she was mean Said son your living a lie it seems If you live in the past, thinking of dead queens Yet I know I'm not the only one Running from the bullets of your gun Bathe me in crimson, oh holy one Maybe then I'll remember just where I'm from Cause I hear them thundering drums Down in the valley, these echoing thumps The trumpets of war, no I ain't done I'm in a war of my own Only when I see you will I know I've won Burn down the weeping willow As I can't live in fear Of what shall be done Cause in due time Empty prayers no longer keep love there Yeah cool down, lay by the ocean Maybe your fragile fingers Will run through my wavy hair I know these are lost memories We alone seem to care Many a man has lost his tongue To the weight of the world Or the knife of a loved one Rarely do we worry of our enemies They try to kill us, only physically But the words of those you call family Can shrink you below, leave you on your knees Until the end of our days, so help me please I'll question my fate alongside harpies Those that made us blind for mere fun No child is an experiment, nor should they be on the run For these whispers in the night that shake my bones Are reminders that there are many without a home So we'll be at peace, at least for the time For soon we shall turn to ashes and forget why We were questioning our existence to begin with Persistence is key, healing is forgiveness Burn down the weeping willow As I can't live in fear Of what shall be done Cause in due time Empty prayers no longer keep love there Yeah cool down, lay by the ocean Maybe your fragile fingers Will run through my wavy hair I know these are lost memories We alone seem to care

There's a time capsule at my feet Scorched feathers surround the street A stop sign that's broken down Letters upon the burial mound As we keep on marching without a sound Across the universe we go round and around Cause the future is broken, the past is made Each day we keep on dwindling away Maybe this life is uncertain But it ain't a burden So let's keep searching through the everglades Cause we can fade, slip up and decay Or bloom this day indefinitely As there is always a price to pay We'll understand the waves in motion someday Chaos in a silken dress Make and break these promises Order in a suit and tie The world is ours without confine They shatter our hollow minds As we are searching for harmony The wild road is filled with irony I see a spark upon a flake of snow Just like our souls, it burns so slow Yet the effect that it solidified Was creating change in territory denied We cut through worlds unseen to the eye The purgatory of the cosmos is realized When we burn a match and enjoy the ride For no one knows what tomorrow brings Another victory in futility as the alarm rings To once again soar freely and then sing A song in silence for our forgotten suffering Cause it's not over, yeah it's all right To feel at peace with nothing tonight Lay in the ashes, born again in light Bones to pick with dead men Over gambling debts and mayhem Angels are bound to our world Then again, they forget their identity Conform to the paradox of humanity Dwindling love within serenity Comes back home with scars and whiskey Only to love themselves more wholly Reflections in the aging hourglass Come one, come all, take a cast For the dice of life is always on the run If you don't take your turn, there is none Cause it ain't cruel but it's rarely fair This burden of ours, these crosses we bear Many of us wandering without a care Cause when we look inside, our demons stare Tell me, why would we ever lie Of our emotions, the truths we hide They are sealed within a time capsule Only when we are ready to share Will the world stop spinning to behold The treasure in our hearts, richer than gold Just was the wise have said If you live in dread then you are dead Worse than lead or poisoned bread Is to live uncertain of the path you tread So pick up that linen white flag Surrender to the war within That's been defeating you through pride We are one with a story to tell Belonging to the world, heaven and hell.

Laying by Shivas side Allah calls by sunrise Christ is resenting me Buddha hoping that I will see The wisdom of Confucius's lies Deities baptized in my mind Because where our creator resides Is incomprehensible although Humans try To manifest that which lies in you and me And then we define that as theology Yet if my mind won't let me be There is always modern medication & psychotherapy Well you know That life is A mere roll Of these dices my honey Yes you know Our life is The same old game We've been playing Say it aloud, where are we getting? Never knew that eternity Would bind me through infinity I can rarely sleep When I do, it's far too deep So I pace in circles, always by threes Wondering why it's just another day That you are preaching to me Of yet another fallacy As it differs for you Just as it is different for me I'd never try to program thee So why can't ya simply let me be? Well you know That life is A mere roll Of these dices my honey Yes you know Our life is The same old game We've been playing Say it aloud, where are we getting? Come together, a wise man said Years later, a bullet became his end Because it seems what we dread Is having to accept what we can't comprehend Dissect this piece and leave it in pieces For peace is a riddle that constantly ceases As there is rarely profit in unity So they make war and separate our humanity And we fear that we will end up deceased So we follow the roles like cattle and sheep Really though, we are dead already If we can't live in love, indefinitely Well you know That life is A mere roll Of these dices my honey Yes you know Our life is The same old game We've been playing Say it aloud, where are we getting?

At times I begin to feel Like a man made of steel Oil instead of blood Circuitry instead of veins Emotions that are calculated To override this pain A moment of bliss Then I am back to the game My system feels an overload When I scan that fair lady A technician, rewire my disposition Towards a more favorable fate Cause I feel at ease My humanity returns to me Whenever I surrender to your ecstasy Don't need to write a riddle Cause your simple to me That's all that matters indeed My mind's got enough complexity A game of risk in real time Tell me, what's your strategy Ponder your inhibitions, certainly Takes time to reprogram Our biological tendencies Even longer to inspire mental release Past chapters hold ghosts and fallacies That flow throughout our frequency Enticing monsters to break our chemistry Our cellular composition throughout eternity Different pieces to a puzzling seed Cause I feel at ease My humanity returns to me Whenever I surrender to your ecstasy Don't need to write a riddle Cause your simple to me That's all that matters indeed My mind's got enough complexity Naturally we are primal chaos Yin and yang, embers upon the sea Isolation can make us hardwired Rusty just like machinery Yet within the kaleidoscope scenery Magic flows ever so purely Figments of the totality manifest suddenly Blinding me, unplugging me, reset this fantasy Entering yet another chapter So that we receive what we seek to achieve Cause I feel at ease My humanity returns to me Whenever I surrender to your ecstasy Don't need to write a riddle Cause your simple to me That's all that matters indeed My mind's got enough complexity

Well I could take this lyre And burn it upon the pyre Celebrate noises of antiquity In Hope's to inspire A new found resolution Dissolving the institutions Welcoming you to reality beyond illusions It's a game of cat and mouse, look around You wouldn't make a sound If the 7 trumpets blared aloud Yet it is ever so clear to see That we embody duality The friction within this fiction is a harmony So look on past right through it If you meet the eye of darkness, lose it For breaking shackles and commandments Is bringing us to understanding The commander and controller Attempting to rule me through a charter That I have never read nor aligned with For I am a new millennium correspondent Reporting on the distortions That represent the contortions Magnify your alibi of delusion While the merry mayor makes an intrusion Claiming to have discovered a new way To bring law and order within serenity To manipulate thee is to manipulate me So we are spelling it out you see For there is no freedom within a skeletons hand You can't find paradise within no man's land We cant rebuild society once it is rubble We cant heal nature if we ourselves are corrupted So let's get started, there is no point or target Merely the acceptance of our responsibility To write a better story than what we've alloted So welcome to the beginning of our game Is have a brand new name One as ancient as the wind And as soft as the rain As stalwart as the earth As passionate as the flames For we vibrating pure love, enough is enough Fear is a distraction and pain won't lift us up If we want to be free, it starts individually Cause if you try to change the world The world with certainly alter thee

Within the paradox of infinity Creating the concept of destiny A singular heroic journey Within the collective of silence There is always a stance For the belief is a map Yet the opposite territory is tracked Blossom and bloom Like the sweet water lily Fly and hunt valiantly Like the eagle soaring freely The experience is yours Unless you decide it's denied It is breaking and shattering Every figment of imagination Shallow and hollow, evading What it truly means to be connected As it was in the ending So shall it be once more The core, the heart An emanating seed Birthing the entirety Of our transparent reality Into a vision of complexity Embrace the simplicity For within a single breath Envision the concept That it shall be end If only to once more begin Alas, that is the game you see What we call humanity
