What I Need

What I Need

I met someone that makes my eyes twinkle,

My toes curl and my heart beat faster

It was unexpected and hard to fathom

But nevertheless, it happened.

Who knows why things occur,

Why they fall in to or out of your lap

Or out of a dream

That you had almost given up on? 

I hardly know how to feel,

What to think or what to do

In light of  this....this...

Revelation.

He makes me laugh

When I don't want to

He makes me cry

'Cause I laugh so hard.

He writes me poetry

That is pulled out of his soul

And expressed in ways

That my soul needs to hear.

So far from my "type"

So different from other men

So far above the norm

(Whatever the "norm" is.)

I do not know where this is going

I do not know what tomorrow holds

I do not know if we belong together

But I do know this:

Right here, right now.....

He is what I need.

HORROR STORY (FROM Voo's Vault)

Ghostly Theater soundtrack

 Horror Story

The fog rolled in over the ocean

Quiet, white, on little cat feet

Thick as smoke and menacing

In a steel butterfly kind of way.

It was just in time to meet the storm

Rolling in from an alternate direction

Dark and black and noisy

Like a marching band from hell.

All night the wind had howled

Outside my shuttered window

Tree branches with gnarled gray fingers

Had scratched the roof and tapped on the panes.

I was in the house alone

Had been for thirteen days

Thirteen days of terror gnawing at my insides

Terror, which had no voice except a scream.

"You can never leave here." they had told me

"Once you walk through that door

You're here forever."

And to my everlasting despair, I found that to be true.

Cellars are terrible places

Dead things live there

Rotting things and ancient things

That smell of decay and hopelessness.

I wish I hadn't gone there

I wish I had stayed in the attic with the bats

And the vampires and the ghosts that walked

And moaned all night.

But I had to find a way out

I had tried every door, every barred window

Every keyhole, nook and cranny

The cellar was the last place to look for freedom.

I watched that fog roll in

Through the leaded glass at the top of the stairs

Across the shore, across the cliff, across the lawn

Drawing closer and taking on the form of a man.

I closed my eyes and prayed

"This is just a dream." I said and my voice echoed

Down the dark corridors and off the awful paintings

That hung on every wall like spies in a castle.

Thunder roared and lightning struck

And just for a moment I could see clearly

As I stood looking down the endless staircase

And looking back at me were terrible things with red, red eyes.

Behind me, I heard a footstep

And off I flew down those uncounted steps in the darkness

Down to rooms full of dusty furniture and unlit candles

Fear driving me relentlessly, looking for I knew not what.

Doors, doors, so many doors

They seemed to open of their own accord

Inviting me into the heart of the house

But none that I could see, that led away.

Rustling noises like mice running

And yet not like mice filled my screaming ears

Invisible arms brushed against mine

And I pushed them away and fell and ran and fell and ran.

"Down here." I heard distinctly

And I gasped and ran in the direction of the voice

The outline of a dark, dark door illuminated in a flash

Then it flew open and something drew me down.

Down squeaky, rotting steps

With breath as cold as ice and air as foul

As the devil's soul, the cellar waited for me

And I was much too shattered to resist.

"Who's there?" I cried, hopeful

"Can you tell me how to get out of here?"

And before I had stepped on the last broken step

The door behind me slammed shut and I heard a lock click.

Then something whispered

And something slithered

And something touched my face

And I.....................................

RULER.......(my American Pie epic) apocalyptic

RULER............(my American Pie epic) apocalyptic

The Sounds of Saturn

Play this vid first for 20 seconds or so

then hit this vid

and play together

for best effect. Wow

Gregorian Chant...

Ruler

Dry leaves sang

And birds came tumbling down

And somewhere a crowd paid

To see the tears of a clown.

To spite the time

A clock refused to chime the hour

But beat as a broken heart

There in the tower.

Somewhere an angel frowned a saddened frown

And rain fell up instead of falling down

Seasons reversed and snow fell in July

And jolly folk that laughed began to cry.

A mother's love turned into hostility

A baby's wail became a silent plea

The world turned upside down and drowned itself

And darkness descended down when sunshine left.

Flowers burst into sprays of weeds and thorns

As night destroyed the coming of the morn

People sang with weapons in their hands

And with deadened eyes, disposed their fellow man.

No laughter rang from happy lips again

As everyone embraced the reign of sin

No mother's son returned from gore of war

And in the land there was no peace....no more.

The love of life went back from whence it came

And minds of men went empty and insane

Machines of death rolled, grinding godless gears

And silenced all the children's hopeful tears.

Oceans full of blood gave forth no life

No father loved his children nor man, his wife

But all, they ran to hillside and to cave

To save themselves but no help came to save.

No air, no food, no water left to drink

No love to feel and no thoughts left to think

No hope to calm the fears that rampant ran

And none to save the rotten race of man.

The bombs, they burst in clouds of man made glory

But no song writer lived to tell the story

The puppets ran the world with master's strings

And won it all but then lost everything.

Kings in crowns and palaces of gold

Exchanged these things and more things for their souls

And never once believed that it would end

But be renewed in splendor once again.

They sacrificed their useless little sheep

And took away their minds there in their sleep

They gave away the precious gifts they held

In secret, rang, but no one heard the bell.

The man who came from Heaven ran away

He came to Earth but said He couldn't stay

He "saved" a few but left them to their fates

And hid Himself behind those pearly gates.

And who am I to tell these things to you?

The only one who tells you what is true!

The Shining One who lives forever more

Is standing even now outside your door.

What happened to the world of yesterday?

What happened to the grace that came your way?

What happened to the love and gaiety?

Hell has come to earth....because of me.

You see, I changed the fate of all mankind

I took that god's creation and made it mine

I killed the unborn dreams that men all shared

The hope they gave to me...as if I cared.

I reign this Earth and it is mine to kill

No "Savior" came and no "savior" ever will

Take back from me the world on which I rule

And anyone who believes that is a fool!

For I am Lucifer, Bright and Morning Star

And I am King of all, both near and far

These kings of men have floundered in their tasks

And failed me in the tiny things I asked.

And even now, they burn in flame and sea

And never will they share a throne with me

But what is that to me, the King of all?

Never again I swear, will I be made to fall.

At Heaven's gate, they watch in humbled fear

To see destruction's glory I wreak here

My fires ascend to Paradise's door

No Holy Ones will visit anymore.

The Earth is mine to do with as I see fit

And I will crush it down and trample it

No man shall ever dare to rebuke Me

In blindness do they crawl, no more to see.

Six thousand years I have awaited now

So patiently to reign and show "Him" how

How I am God and He is just a lamb

And He will never be the Lion I Am.

But wait! What is that light that fills my eyes?

My army melts, their mouths screaming "You lied!"

That white horse running that should have been my own

And on it's back, that Man, that Holy One!

I will not bow! I will not bow! I will not bend!

To You who died on that cross for their sin

I will not bow before You, Son of Man

I'm not one of your servants made of sand.

I will not break, my pride is much too strong

And though I bow, I will not bow for long

And though in chains of darkness do I sit

I will not forever wait inside this pit.

I will not. I will not! I will not beg

For mercy from You. I will drain the dregs

Of humankind there at that Age's end

And I will be their Ruler once again.
