“Candle Light Prayer” – Poetry

I come before You humbly As the candle flickers low With all my imperfections In this land of frozen snow.   Insanity arising As we play the ageless war - I come before You humbly As the ancients did before.   You Whose heart is endless, You of stained glass crystal mind Who pens the… Continue reading “Candle Light Prayer” – Poetry

“Demon Of Rage” – Poetry

The rushing waves of fury Broken hearts left in his wake That old deception endlessly beguiling the fool From the time of the first sun He has sown his bitter seed Recklessly clawing, boldly rampaging The paradise of innocent breed Now revealed to the few who gather The light shines boldly on his morbid throne… Continue reading “Demon Of Rage” – Poetry

A friend I have, far off in space - A palace of moon beams and feathers abounds. Mind frozen still – words hastily vanish - Emptiness. Panic… Continue reading “Dear Friend” – Poetry
