We always tip the scales of time

When imagination guides the way

Angel prays for justice

While the Devil wants to play

Creation can be an illusion

One we never can debate

Without the conflict of these two

One for love and one for hate

Will the powers that be triumph?

Or will the evil always win?

Though purity is less and less

There seems to be more sin

The nightmares keep us dreaming

Though this is not what we should do

Awaken the promise of tomorrows

With the light that can break through

In the darkness, the cold wind howls

Trying desperately to get in, to claim

I listen quietly, hoping she’ll leave

Still, I hear her whispering my name

Come outside and dance, my friend

She calls to me, again and again

It’s much too dark out there, for me

I’d rather stay inside, within

There’s no deterring her taunting

She whips up a tempest, her war

The sounds she makes are haunting

My soul follows hers, evermore

There was a time
Before time existed
When the world
Found love, instead
Of moments, twisted

There was a time
Before time slipped by
Carelessly, forgotten
Trying to stop it
Turning back, but why?

There was a time
Before the end of time
Where humans cried
As the planet lay wasted
Such a terrible crime…

The House on Grayson Place

The House on Grayson Place ~ The Disappearance


Hidden under her veil of black

Coat slung over her shoulder

No one sees her, as she moves about

Her clothes, from days, much older

She holds a scroll, in both her hands

Or is it something else she clasps

She watches, as others drift on by

Still, no one stops and asks

Ms. Grayson, hides in the shadows

Where she will never leave a trace

Laughs, at all the village folk

An evil sneer, still, upon her face

Be careful how you touch them

How they look is quite deceiving

Nature has the strangest ways

To leave your senses grieving

That something, oh so beautiful

Can hurt you, with a single stroke

Stay away from the stinging nettles

For it’s pain, they shall evoke
