The Caged bird`s lament

I was once a free bird

Until he took me from where I reside
He stole freedom from my hands
And kept me on a short leash

My home now is a cage

Crafted with those Richard hands
In gold it stands strong and tall

The loneliness it holds crushes my soul

My freedom slowly fades as days pass by
Like a lit-up candle slowly melting away

Although he brings me food my appetite is swiftly lost

And although he treats my ill, I’m forever sick

My heart aches when my mind drifts back

To the old times it held
Singing joyously as I danced in the sky

Now you can only hear pain from my sorrowful heart

OH, how my voice has lost it joyous tone
Driven to depression by isolation

As I get swallowed deeper into the darkness

My eyes lose their spark
I long for freedom

I thought humans were nice creatures

But I can see now that demons can take many forms
I call on to my friends but my voice is un heard

It hurts
Even though I bear no scar
Now I drawn in my feel
As I try to numb the pain

It seems I’m short on options but one

I guess death can put it all out.

Disturbed soldier
There once was a time
When my hands were new to it all
I was but an artist
And my hands only knew the art of drawing
The pressure applied to the pencil
And the smell of ink on a paper
Not once had they ever touched a gun
Nor stole a life from another

Now they are stained in red

A red which does not fade
Every time I take my gaze to my hands
I see them trenched in red

The smell of blood looms the air

The silent voices of the heads I claimed
Screams in my head
Its foreboding

I see them follow everywhere I go

As I taste of blood stays forever in my mouth
I am no longer the man I was before

Back then
Death was not a stranger
It danced with me in a blood bath
In a place that smelled like blood
Where I watched their lives slipping away
A haunting reminder
A senseless fate

A soldier taught to have no remorse

I Took down my enemies without a shred of pity
And my name was known even amongst the heavens above

Now I'm hunted by the past I cannot change

I guess by the moment I realized
My time was no more

The people came for me

In seek of vengeance
They took everything I had
An eye for an eye
They taught me the hard way
How it feels to lose something dear

Rage, a formless beast devoured my heart

As my soul was set in flames
My body burned as liquid fire ran through my veins

My heart is like an over flowing tea cup

It's overwhelmed with an eluding feeling
I feel the longing for revenge
Only one thing holds me back
I guess karma is real
I now know that vengeance will breed revenge
And the cycle may never end
Now I sit in silence
Hoping my spirit finds the peace I did not.

Inevitable stranger
He is always present feared by all who dwell on earth
With no face he appears, unexpectedly even in the brightest of
day
We have played hide and seek for so long yet he always finds
us with ease
So many tell themselves they have accepted him but when he
comes and they hear his call the truth jumps to light and they
dance in fear
As memories flash before their eyes
Where he goes, he leaves dread and sorrow
He visited me once and brought sorrow to my fragile heart

A formless mysterious stranger wakes me up from my slumber

and leaves me in wonder
With a cold whisper he warns and shutters my hope with a
knife not like any other
His appetite is insatiable for he knows no limits
He is an officer on duty
He does not know rest, at day even at night
He wants to bring us down to join us with the soil
He brings rest to those who suffer and retribute the sinful
Like a detective he looms in the dark waiting to take those
who's time is no more
We may try to prolong his chase but it does him no difference
for he knows he's inevitable.

Deadly beauty
You are a Gloriosa, unique and mysterious as the flower it's
self
Like both sides of the same coin
Your delicate yet venomous
Predictably unpredictable
A trouble magnet, your words are both a promise and a threat
But yet I'm drawn to them
Like a siren's sweet melody in my ears
With each word I'm drawn closer
You're a deadly allure
With a gorgeously terrifying smile that brings me a feeling I
can't seem to grasp
I wonder
Is this what they call love?
Your elusive you elude me
You hopped into my life and turned my monochrome world
into a place brimming with color
You're mendacious your charm is poison
Yet a part of you still echoes in my heart
I'm drawn to you like a metal on magnet
I've seen it firsthand what they call blind love
It seems like you will be my downfall
A poisoned wine
With every sip I'm brought to my knees
But the thought of you in a bad day brings me a smile
I find myself crying and laughing at the same time
You perplex me
You’re like a sea I can't seem to navigate
Who are you?

The Bell's call

I stand alone under the moon

As I hear a silent call
Which no other can hear
An uncertain feeling takes command
I feel the edge to accept it with open arms
Silence is now a good friend of mine
For I have become a man of solitude

Cut off from the world around

I feel myself slowly fading away
Like a candle which has lost its steady flame
It flickers casting a dancing shadow as its warmth dwindles
It comes with an eerie feeling

An explicable certainty of my demise

It strikes at me
Like a bullet to the head

Leaving me with a desire to live

Although I feel powerless, I don't feel angry
And although I don't feel the urge to resist
I feel sorrow

I'm like a wilting flower

Once vibrant and beautiful
But now it withers and dies

The bell of liberation

Its silent voice is heard loud and clear
It awaits my arrival
What is it exactly?
Is it a church, a celebration or maybe a funera...
Although I don't like it
I feel like my time is up.

Hope

A temple of the forgotten

A place were darkness reigns supreme
There stands a monster
A beast in black
It dominates over the heart of man
Suffocating his soul
He trembles in fear as terror strikes, tearing him apart

It seeks to demolish his devotion

It covers him with a dark veil
The people's downfall
Brings him satisfaction
He hungers for more
Like a man lost to lust

It wants to make quick work of him

As fast as it can, so he can proceed
His journey on to another soul
He can smell strong will from far
And comes forth to bring it down

An officer on duty
A lone wolf whose goal is forever unchanged
A faceless monster who pulls you under
Into the dark abyss
Were his word is absolute

It struggles with this one

It can't bring him to his knees
It looks closer and sees
A spark of bright light
It draws closer and tries to swap the spark but it's standing firm
Perplexed

It tries to blow on the fiery flame

But as small as it is it stands strong
like an unwavering mountain
It grows slowly but surely
Bringing the monster to its knees
The malevolent majesty sings a silent scream as it retreats in
fear.

The pursuit of knowledge

They call on me
In a voice only I can hear
A scream which the forgotten truth
It strikes with an eerie delight
Living me spell bound
The answer I need
Lies where the shadow resides
It gave me a sip of divine and my mind went wild
I crave for more
The emptiness
Where all the answers lie
The dark abyss
Where the truth is found

In patience it waits
For the seeker to find
It whispers secrets
Which puzzle me still
It tells an untold story
Which contains no end
It's got me in a maze
Like a butterfly tangled in a spider’s web
The question it leaves
Leaves the mind in wonder
It knows how to captivate the dwellers
To keep them on edge
Living the mind
With a willingness to engage

There, calls the echoes in the dark

Which tell me no lie
It compels me still
Striking down fear in a heart of a coward
Where curiosity stands alone
Something tells me he is over joyed
When we play the seeker
As he hides and waits
Like a serial killer
It brings him joy for he knows he cannot be found easily.

A loner's wish
She lies to her self
Wanting to be accepted
She put on a mask
A multi faced girl
She fears rejection
Wanting to be part of the crowd
She wears a smile under her frown
In order to blend in
She cares about the people's thoughts
They hurt her
Like a bullet to the heart
She knows it's bad but still she continues
It's become second instinct
She doesn't know her self anymore
She got what she wanted
But something is out of place
Its bugging her
She knows it's not her self

A thought pop in
"Why not be yourself"
"Aren't you tired of this masked girl"
They like what you're not
They called you names
But what's wrong with that
You just turn a blind eye
To those trouble maker

They forced me to be a girl with a thousand faces

But I loathe the me I have became
This change in me
Forced by the people
It hurts inside
They hurt you
Maybe acting isn't my thing
Trying to please them
It's tied down my heart and shackled my true nature.

Slow poison
Love's slow poison
Spreading pain
A heart once full
Now drained

Love seemed good

But now we know
A demon in an unusual form
Disguised In a cupid

Slowly piercing your soul

At first the pain is numb
When a good sensation
Takes command
Leaving the dweller craving for more

Charmed by her words

Seduced by her actions
They are willing to kill
And willing to die
Mindless soldiers
At her disposal

As they become
Slaves of love
They are forever lost
Under her spell

When the time comes

She comes to light
All is seen
And the sane go insane

Only the strong willed

Can escape her grasp
When she decides to strike
Some bear a thirsty heart
For it is for ever full of holes.

Suicidal thoughts
Provoked by her demise
My heart laments
When my mind drifts back
To the good times we've spent

She saw the world in bright light

And then she fell ill one night
She wore a big smile

Before she died

She wished to see the stars
Under the starry sky
As she struggled to speak
Coughing blood

Her final words

" I love you"
Filled my heart with woe
And my eyes with tears

As I held her corpse in my hand

And a gun in my head
I planned to follow
As I painted the walls red.
