Everywhere, the human Soul stands between a
hemisphere of light and another of darkness!
Thomas Carlyle
(1795-1881)
Speak to me so gently that I cannot hear
your voice. I want you more than Life
itself. It doesn't seem like I have much choice.
The truth is... I am lonely...a man that knows
true pain! I'll give you all that I have because
quite simply, all I can do is gain.
A life that knows not love, is not a life at all!
There are times that I wish I could climb the
highest mountain, look over the edge, close my
eyes and just fall!
Please don't send me away. My heart will truly
burst! I hunger for your body and I know you're the
only one that could ever quench my thirst!
Never again shall I hold you in my arms!
I sing a song of sadness for all of my kind to
hear. It's not that hard to fall in love but it's
one of the only things we fear.
Love is but a dream that never comes true. I
did everything I could to make it a reality, now,
there's nothing left for me to do!
Oh, I could put a gun to my head or slit my wrist
until the whole floor turned red but that would be
much too easy!
Pain has become my friend and I would never
desert him! It's much better to live and suffer
than to peacefully wonder throughout the realm's
of non-existence alone.
Please save me! My mind is gone and I'm tired of
singing the same old song!
Father, my job on Earth is done and your name
has been scattered to every man, woman and son. I
did the best I could but there is still much left
to do. My disciple's will spread your word even
further and ALL will be made to believe, someday
soon.
Father, please give them your voice. I don't
think their voice alone is strong enough to
overcome the ear-piercing scream of Evil!
I will pray for them but I will not pray for the world.
I pray only for those willing to accept me and my
word because all that they have is mine and all I have
is theirs. With that balance, our voices will eventually
be heard!
Carrying a device of Death upon his back, Christ
slowly makes his way up the Hill of Sorrow where he
will be called up to forever join his father!
Tormented and mocked by thousands along the
passageway, he begins to cry because of all the
hatred that he sees but loves them just the same.
He begins to realize that this is why he must
die. He must save the imperfect mortals from Satan's
temptations and grasp. Once before and forever,
again!
To the World, he is a criminal. His words are
all false prophesy. But if the truth shall set you
free, only a few will receive his gift of Love and
the rest will be denied because of their lack
of faith!
They will be locked up, along with their
mediocre World, as prisoners of their own device!
They will be on fire and the Saved will be as cool
as ice!
Upon the cross he died to save our souls from
Hell. He must have done this in vain, for by our
actions on Earth, this must be the place we all
wish to dwell!
Please don't cry for me. Your tears, I don't
deserve. Time will go on to wash away the pain but
my memory, you must forever preserve!
Cast out of thy heart the Evil within and absorb
my kindness and love. Empty your mind til all
thoughts are nil and start seeking forgiveness above.
The ice melts flowing in the warm liquid unknowingly
then evaporates into the mist of delusions without
a care.
Somewhere along a lonely shore, a desolate, empty
man sits crying but it's not by chance that he dwells
painfully there. His soul has flown yet his body lives
on, infinite til all life has ceased.
Then, like a withering leaf, he will leave the World
behind him when the last ash stops smoldering!
His debt must be paid, for he alone represents the sins
of Man and his responsibility is the weight of all the
souls that he must carry to the grave and beyond!
The full Moon pales gently beside the still
waters, casting her shadow for all to see. Hippies
dancing naked, hot with lust and lure. Alone without
fulfillment, their flesh is fresh and pure.
Beside me sits a maiden with arms. Ready to kill
if anyone harms, myself or this cross that I carry.
Until the Boatman of Death bears my ashes in his ferry!
The Sun will be blackened upon my departure into
eternal night and many a soul will be scared with fright.
But fear not my people, it must be done! We've got to
fight against our lives if Death"s going to be won!
Chains are licorice that can be consumed without
hardship and blood is wine that truly overflows every
cup.
The cloud's white and billowy, engulf my head with softness
and I feel no pain. The birds fly by and whisper into my
ear sweet thoughts of Love that never got a chance to
participate in.
But I know that love is just a dream with no truth but
to end a conflict with the piercing of one's flesh
because of mixed diabolical deeds!
I emerge from the mountains and fly high above my
land on wings of gold! Racing through the pink and
blue sky, I drop bombs on my enemies that wish to shoot
me down and boil my remains in my own blood!
I laugh and turn the water orange because it's a
nice color. Just like when I was in grade school, I
always broke that crayon! Illusions of fame sway gently
through my brain yet I know that they are but
dreams destined to be unfulfilled!
Farther than light can cast it's emanating glare!
Colder than a dead man's Evil stare! My feelings and
dreams have all been lies! Try to kill me if you wish
but I will never die!
My friends are all dead but I live on because I
prayed that I could stop living, so they let me die by
keeping me alive! That was my biggest mistake!
The world we live in is all fake! People are not real.
They are phantoms from Hell! Your true pain makes you
laugh and feel good but happiness and love causes you
to tremble with fear from the honesty and freedom not
left in your useless emotions! Remember the pledge
and forget that you ever felt such kindness!
Beware, for you will not be warned again! I am the
true light when the other false gods fade out into
space beyond the outreaches of men! A name instead of
a number! Flesh instead of steel! I only wish to
slumber while the whole world long to Kill, kill, kill!!!
The rushing waters become violently peaceful now as
a still breeze creates ripples in the midst of
my mind.
O that your young heart and soul were but newly
emancipated wings, fluttering softly toward the setting
Sun, peacefully sinking beneath my shallow horizon.
Filling my emptiness with your very being and
rejuvenating my soul with just the mere touch of
your sweet lips pressed gently into mine. I long
to kiss those lips and run my hands gently across
your sultry thighs.
Our thoughts are molded together as one and we feel
no pain as I forcefully penetrate your inner folds
of ecstacy!
Caress me and the universe is ours! Waiting to
be explored like two newly born nymphs hungry for a
flesh-filled feast.
Hardly a care in the world when we are together, for
there is no reality except that which we choose to
initiate in our youthful dreams!
Why did she have to die and leave me here all
alone? Sinking quickly in the boundless sand with
no way out except to become a spirit, enabling me
to join my lost love in an ethereal reunion?
And I cried as she quickly vanished into the
clouds, entombing her soul forever in oblivion.
Words are cheap to a nation that sleeps, never
quite hearing our useless cries! But if we don't wake
her up soon, our world will surely be doomed but I
guess it doesn't really matter all that much if we
Die!
Dancing naked on hot coals, heartless wonders
everywhere swear that pain is a gift from the gods!
A broken man cries out in pain! Life never lived
up to his expectations. Sure, it's not always
supposed to be joyful but why all of this suffering?
Thrown into the arena of Death and told to fight or
die, the shooken man instinctively picks up a nearby
stick and begins to fend off the great evil all around
him!
But how much longer can he keep it up?
Sooner or later, he's going to question and quarrel
about his awkward way of survival. Then, at the peak of
his violent inquisition, he may even choose a new reality!
Just as well...peacefully fade off into the dim night
never to be seen again.
Not to touch the Earth, not to see the Sun. We
were all destined to die from birth but the torture
has just begun!
Mountains are flattened into hills. Forests are
smoldering in flame! Life on Earth is just a battle
between wills but it's not much fun playing it's
senseless games.
Pain is the price that you pay to live, until tears
and blood are all you have left to give! Death is your
friend that will never betray you. To seek him, there
is nothing special that you have to do.
Just follow your feelings and dreams to the edge
of the rainbow that's filled with no laws. Then say,
"please don't cry for me sweet child. I'm doing this
for a justified cause."
Blood paints many a picture for all of us to see.
If it were never spilt, we probably wouldn't even be.
The stars are like angels, watching us from above.
There once was a time when the Four Horseman never
rode across our sphere but every since people have
lived on it, there has been no such thing as Love!
Even in the midst of multitudes, I stand alone.
I call thousands of numbers yet no one will answer the
phone. There is plenty of food and water to go around
but I hunger and thirst because I can't be seen.
My heart has stopped bleeding and my blood boils over,
waiting to be drunk by the Slaves of the Underworld!
Flames protrude from my nostrils and smoke envelops
my soul. I have a whole lifetime to travel and see
places but I have nowhere to go!
The river Styx flows backwards to take away the
years of your life and make you become a spirit,
begging to be of physical form and cause pain to
those who believe in the afterlife when they close their
eyes forever!
I can't see you. I'm in a different plane of some
sorts. I'm floating high above the planets and soaring
past the stars as I puff away on this funny tasting
cigarette!
Oh man, don't you know that the rapture relies an your
own ability to resist resurrection?
Yes it's true. Your loneliness can only be shared by the
one who truly loves you when your blind eyes can't see the
truth hidden within his or her heart!
I carry a cross upon my back to cleanse this world of sin.
I die so that the World might live and I'll do it again and
again!
On the street's of pain, there is no such thing
as gain. Only heartache, poverty and Death! Our
society composed of selfish people is who we've go to
blame. See the little children suffer? Their cries
are heard but never cured! On the street's of pain,
everyone is fucked!
Eyes filled with hatred, a heart burns with lust.
Did you even hear a word that I said? There will be
no more pain when we are finally reduced to dust!
Darker than light with no fuel to burn, my soul
cries out for help yearning to learn. Teach me master
or I will forever burn!
Behold the great Evil lurking in the damp and
dark hallway, lit only by your darkest fears and
dreams. Prepare now to sleep forever in your custom
made bed of Death! Sincerely, I bid you a sweet
goodnight.
Awake now from your slumber O Angel of Blood and
bathe me in your divine fluid and lovely scarlet hue!
I haven't a trickle left in my rotting veins but wish
to give freely to you all that I have left with no
hardships or compromises since we are one with the
sacrificial Beast!
Arrogant flames, arise from Hell and scour my
flesh with your insatiable hunger! Disturb me no more
with your ludicrous absence and denial of submission to
your games of psychological torture!
Prepare now to meet your fate as you are hurled
deep into the inner-most regions of unconsciousness!
Spherical soul's of delusion hold the key to this
gift. Reach deep within the invisible plane, obtain
the sacred Jewel of Enlightenment then seek it no more!
Lucky you are to have survived the excruciating
test of Loyalty to the forlorn presences in a false
paradise!
How many people must die before we finally figure
it out? Intelligence is pure ignorance and logic will
bury our future before its birth!
Martyr's have tried to save us but failed. It
just wasn't meant to be. Slow suicide to eyes that are
blind but the Truth shall be revealed in the end and
ONLY THEN will we finally realize how great our
mistakes have been!
Human: the Caretaker's of the Earth. Little did we know
that they would also destroy themselves as Ruler's of their
own Hell! See the sunlight on my face? The smile that
spreads like a disease amongst the people I come in
contact with?
HA! I laugh when the world cries! Hy heart beats faster
when your's stops forever! I fly high when your dreams
get shot down in a blaze of confusion! My flag unfurls
and waves in the wind when your's gets ignited by a
political spark of ignorance!
I eat when you hunger! I drink my fill when your
throat is parched! I am that which you cannot be!
Your paltry World will be destroyed but mine will
continue to populate and flourish in a utopian manner!
I WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE LONG AFTER YOU DIE!!!!!
Drifting freely, reality slowly fading, the pain
has finally ceased and a warm, omniscient womb now
encloses my being and nourishes my soul.
Exist no more in this world of Death! Instead,
remain suspended in Time...alone...for Eternity!

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is, for the lack of a better description, "Fucked Up!" I wrote it over 40 years ago when I was 19 and hated the World but loved Iron Maiden, WASP, Poe and all purveyors of dark themes. Classic angry young man themes with some decent Poetry wrapped around it. It will "blow your cheeks apart" Oh and your mind, as well. Enjoy!
