Darkness Sweeping The World ....... what the heck!!!??? And yet........haven't we been expecting it?

Rock Star

Rock Star

I saw a star that had a face

And the star was made of stone

I saw the crown points on his head

In his eyes, a darkness shone.

I saw an entity so old

It's age, I could not tell

And though it reigned in cold, dark space

It's throne was raised in hell.

I saw a thing no tongue could utter

No hand could paint, or draw

It's ugliness hid 'neath a beautiful mask

To deceive all those that saw.

I saw a being made in love

That chose to live in pride

A precious jewel by hatred, fueled

Until it fell and died.

And then became a monstrous thing

A creature birthed of horror

Pulling strings behind the scenes

On a world to rule in sorrow.

I saw a chasm in the sky

'Twixt realms of ancient paths

I heard the titan battle cries

I heard inhuman laughs.

I saw in dreams that were not dreams

In visions on my bed

A multitude of man-beast kings

Marching through my head.

"They're on their way!" I cried aloud

"They're coming to the Earth!"

"They're bringing death and taking breath

To all men given birth!"

And then the star that had a face

Turned round and looked at me

Smiled a sly and sickly smile

And said, "I see you see."

"But you can't stop what I've begun

You can't halt my plan

I am the Rock Star of the Skies

And you are just a man."

I thought in feverish, frightened haste

Until the truth broke through

And I said "I know a Rock that can

Put an end to you."

And the star, it screamed and disappeared

And scattered through the skies

A million units of fading light

That fell to Earth as lies.

And many ages passed by me

Until the End of Days

And I saw evil in the world

And man and all his ways.

Paying homage to the Star

Wishing to be him

And many rock stars walked and reigned

Though compared to that, were dim.

Fame was fleeting, a shining gift

Bestowed on all of those

Who worshipped at the Rock Star's feet

And gave to him their souls.

I saw with sadness in my heart

The hungry eyes of men

Always looking for the answer

And finding it in sin.

I saw the star that had a face

Hanging in the sky

Lusting for what God had made

And I began to cry.

When to my shock and awesome wonder

I beheld the skies roll back

And light beyond the brightest light

Lit up the cold, dark black.

A rock, it fell from heaven's gate

Of unknown depth and girth

A small thing changed into a mountain

And the mountain changed the Earth.

I bowed before the rock that fell

For I recognized the True

And to my amazement, the rock star bowed

There was nothing it could do.

I saw the star that had a face

That was no star at all

And all the things in heaven cried

And all began to fall.

And the mountain became a city

That the righteous entered in

And all the darkness disappeared

Just as though it'd never been.

And in my dream, I gave a sigh

And my spirit left that place

Then I awoke to see the midnight sky

And a star that had a face.

People Made Of Love

soundtrack for piece

People Made of Love

I sit here waiting for the man that I love

The stars are shining in the night skies above

The moon is hanging just over the hill

And all of the world is silent and still.

My love throbs inside me like the beat of a drum

Waiting for him and the moment to come

When my eyes fall upon him and his eyes meet mine

And he kisses my mouth with his own, sweet as wine.

These are moments I cherish

These are moments of bliss

His dark eyes full of passion,

His mouth burning kiss.

I will wait for his shadow to fall upon me

I will wait for his eyes to acknowledge and see

I will wait for his hunger as hungry as mine

To make it's need known, to show me it's sign.

And there in the darkness when the whole world is still

I will give myself to him, I will bend to his will

I will stand there before him with my candle and spark

And we'll love like before and we'll dance in the dark.

He's a phantom and ghost

He's a thief in the night

He's a mythical man

That only lives in my sight.

I conjured him up one night in my mind

And I created him from my own special design

And I loved him to life with my need and my want

And gave him my heart to dwell in and haunt.

And he lives there in shadow, a spectre and myth

The man that I long for and want to be with

Just a thought in my brain that I breathed into form

That took on flesh and blood with no need to be born.

They might say I am mad

And they may rightly think so

But the man that I made out of love

Doesn't know.

He's as real as I am

And I will always be

But what only I know

Is that my lover made me.

He made me of dreams and wishes and wants

And gave me his own heart to dwell in and haunt

And we met in the darkness when the full moon was bright

And we clung to each other and we danced in the night.

And when morning had come with it's bright yellow sun

The night fled away and we two turned to run

For we couldn't exist in the exposure of day

And we held hands there tightly as we faded away.

But we met soon again

When the white moon was full

And the forces of wanting

With their pleasure and pull.

Drew us back to the yearning

And to love's glowing spark

To take form out of shadow

And to dance in the dark.

I don't know if forever is a word meant for us

We who don't know of breathing or heart beat or pulse

We are creatures of dreams, substantial enough

To take form for short moments

Though we're made out of love.

People made out of love

And magic and dream

Not made like mere mortals

Who are just what they seem.

We are haunting and haunted

And we know of none else

I am created by him

And he sprang from myself.

And now I sit here waiting for the man that I love

Again to appear with the full moon above

The passing of time is a blade that cuts sharp

For people like us that exist in the dark.

We didn't learn how to hold back the time

I just wanted his love and he wanted mine

So we conjured and created but something went wrong

And our moments are magic but they do not last long.

Perhaps one day we'll learn that trick

From magicians who are much more clever

And my love and I can live and love

And dance here in the dark forever........................

Fugitive From Love

Fugitive From Love

(a modern day outlaw tale with no happy ending)

I am a fugitive from love

I’ve been on the run for years

I’ve been shot down by heart break bullets

My eyes shed blood red tears.

I am a fugitive from love

Afraid of that lovin’ stuff

Don’t want no fancy free liaisons

No one night romance fluff.

I am a fugitive from love

I only move at night

When love shines it’s light down on me

I keep out of sight.

I am an outlaw running free

I live by no one’s rules

I believe no lies so don’t even try

For I am no longer a fool.

That man, he broke my baby heart

He took away my soul

So I became a fugitive

Hiding in the cold.

(And now you think that you can arrest me

You’re surprised when I resist)

Put on these handcuffs, you say to me

And I’ll lock them with a kiss.

You’ll never take me alive, I say

You’ll never make me stay

I am a fugitive from love

And I will run away.

You shook me by my shoulders

So rigid with pride yet soft

And you said, You’re talking crazy, girl

Baby, that’s crazy talk.

But crazy or no, I will not go

Be led away in chains

You tell me love is getting healed

But all I see is pain.

But I let you persuade me a little

I relented and resigned to my fate

I forgot to forget for a minute

But as you slept, I crept out and escaped.

And I ran and I ran and I ran

Through the night and the stars and the rain

And I cried and I cried and I cried

As I caught that southbound train.

I am a fugitive from love

A woman, scarred and torn

An innocent victim of the pain

That simply can’t be borne.

It hunts me like a prisoner

Though I have committed no crime

It convicts me in the court of love

But I will serve no time.

I am a fugitive from love

An outlaw running free

So skilled am I, don’t even try

You cannot capture me.

You cannot capture me

I am a fugitive from love

And you cannot capture me.

secret garden by Bruce Springsteen
goes perfectly with poem

Shape Shifter

Shape Shifter

I am a gentleman, you said

and kissed my hand, raising your eyes

in the process to meet mine

in the candlelight

Promise? I queried and withdrew

My hand from your tightening grasp

I wouldn't hurt a fly, you answered

And certainly not the heart

Of a fair lady

And I believed you and went tumbling

Down into the spell you cast

The web you wove

The love I needed so badly

For days on end and nights

Forever

Falling for you and your lies

And then the spell was broken

And the web began to strangle

True colors came to light

And cruelty took the place

Of tenderness

I saw the true you in full sunlight

One day as you shape shifted

From knight to ogre and reached

Out to crush my soul in your hand

You sneered at my fear and laughed

At my pain

You sir, are no gentleman.

You sir, are no gentle man.

You sir, are no man.
