Silken Dreams...



He comes to me in silken dreams

Where, with gentle haste,

Velvet threads of comfort are cast

Upon my furrowed brow,

Dulling the barbed edges 

Of my cruel melancholies.

TheGrumblingGargoyle

He speaks not to me 

And yet, through the shimmering 

Vapours of his presence,

Which Rest with quiet grace upon my soul,

I know all of him and am calmed.

TheGrumblingGargoyle

 Tender melodies shaped by unfamiliar chords 

Enfold me within their phantom embrace

Serving to rest me upon a cloud

Of such harmonies as would provide 

Eternal succour from the mischief of life's plagues

TheGrumblingGargoyle

Harm will not find me here,

Solace is my companion, Sanctuary my saviour

I belong here, with him.

We are one.

And knowing this...

At last I am at peace

And sleep on.

Weep Not...



Weep not my Love 

Upon my Grave

Such tears cannot compare

To those my restless spirit sheds

Knowing 'twas you

Who put me there.

Heart Attack...



Hear the pitter patter

Of the fatted dripping batter

As your heart begins to chatter

In your chest.

Feel your body stumble

As your senses start to crumble

Until through a groaning tumble

You're at rest.

Drifting...



We're slowly losing the other

Forgetting who we were

Drifting to a place in time

To find neither of us there

Why?...



Why can't we let people live their lives?

Why can't we let them be?

So what if they're not like you?

Who cares if they're not like me?

We all breathe

We laugh

We love

We cry

We each came from another's womb

So try to accept our same differences 

Don't let your head be your tomb.

Free...



Let me fly

Let me soar

Bind me by these chains no more

Set me free

Let me be

So I may flee life's miseries

Rose...



He placed a ring upon her finger

A Rose upon her heart

And then he put them in the sack

With the rest of her body parts
