Dances with demons ...

Come my waiting demon
It is time to dance
The songs beat to a distant drum
And now I take my chance

Forever you hid in the shadows
Stealing my light my soul
Atlast we come together
Walking in step to make me whole

Hand in hand we March
Beside each other we stay
Together apart forever bonded
Entwined like night and day

Take a bow now
Step off the stage
The curtain calls though you remain
A clinging shadow each day I age

But no more a lasting figure
But a simple scar
Reminders of life everlasting
You see you won the battles but I won the war ...

Parting thoughts...a work in progress...

I stared and poured over things he'd shared
And wondered at those he hadn't
I screamed and shouted in silence and ached as my heart burned
For I knew a part of me wanted this
Needed this nightmare to be true
I knew I needed to be severed ..
frompo partsf me I knew to be true...
I had to suffer in silence.. to allow the pain to set me free
To bring forth a truth for all
Only I knew I could see
For I knew he wasn't truly ever mine
And that he only wished it so
So through his hurt and mine
I had to find a way to let us go
So I die inside each day a little
Just so we can both live tomorrow
And hope he will find his joy
As he finds his way through my sorrow
 I watch with bleak abandon
As they sail away in the sunset
Two wholes that now since parted
I see Atleast he finds his one
So now I watch and sigh
And hope my peace is on nigh
The freedom I so once wanted
I just hope the price wasn't too high 

You..my thoughts and I...

The realization that you have no one can be bleak and liberating all at once...
You see... when you're faced with the hard truth that there is no one but you..
What it eventually boils down to....
 is whether the you that's you is good enough for you ...

.........

Drifting... dreaming...
In an endless sleep
The delicious warmth
The Myriad dreams
I am awake
But I yearn to sleep
And so I float and fly

...........



I was me yesterday
But what am I today
That's what tomorrow will bring

Odes to Halloween 2

Midnight's callings
Ever so sweet
Hushed minds rush past
They didn't see the beast

Lurking waiting
Patient and still
Lasting ever lasting
Waiting for the kill

Many a wayward walked this way
Many a foostsep walked right past
Those that stopped and listened
Were ones who stood there last

Grim and dreary
Dark and damp
No one knew
All they needed was a lamp

The shadows lurk where the light ends
Secrets lie in unopened doors
The trick my friend you fail to see
Is to choose the road where reality bends

Odes to Halloween 1

A lonely unhinged soul
Wanders the quiet streets
Seeking a spirit kindred
Wisps of known demons waft past it
Each leaving a residue of its individual dread

The moonlight struggles and fights to find its path
The clouds seem bleak and determined
The wind dies on its last song
The nights mulls its wrath

The noises drown the silence
The quiet an unknown beast
The monsters dance to unheard songs
The angels are dead at least

And in this night of nights
Each spirit may rise and turn
Where one might seek those looming heights
Where the fated may crash and burn

Soon the song rises from each corner darkened
Luring and reaching
And the soul finds a tide
On the rivers theyve been preaching

Rise and fall
Ebb and flow
Into the everlasting night
They must all go

Goodnight dear spirit
O lost dear soul of mine
Go find your tune to dance on
Go live the truth divine
