hope, love
Kinship, I need you
Friendship, I seek you
Suspend common feeling
Portend a wish come true
Hand grenade carnged torsos
Standing alone I'm unafraid, but I weep
Disbanding the grotesgue and the gore
Withstanding strange thoughts in my sleep
Encahnting you are even in my dreams
Supplanting ghouls with a purple haze
Chanting lullabies for two week until
Panting murmurs of evil fade
In my dreams I see a cloak of stars
Thinly square about your shoulders broad
Winning smile, knowing eyes
Grinning fool, you are no fraud
You are what I longed for
Few have ever chased my demons away
Blue is brighter, dark is lighter
Together I pray we shall stay

love,
My love travels lengthy distances,
Before yesterday and beyond tomorrow.
Its journey encounters many obstacles,
With raptured joy and painful sorrow.
These times yield lessons always, that is,
If there's a willingness to learn.
While supplanting some long-held beliefs,
Though fearing failure if you crash and burn.
This emotional energy displays great power,
As it navigates through day and night.
While maintaining a course ever forward,
Mapping through blazing sun or moonlight.
When all the words are spoken,
And everything has been said.
The love that consumed, finds eternal peace,
Among the living and the dead.
