Reborn: Child of Light, Child of Dark

Golden rings around my head
Angel of light on a golden thread
Brooding like Boreanaz in the corner
Alone, a stranger, a foreigner,
Isolation spreads its wings.
A solitary rook sings.

I have lost my freedom,
Captivity stifles my lost soul.
On a quest for redemption,
I tread these shadowlands.
My path is desolate and darksome.
Drawing near to the void of days

Body bruised on the rocks of malice
They shattered my crystal palace.
But I can see the Northern Lights.
Cast away the barrow wights
I am the child of light and dark
Reborn, like a flying spark;

Soul and the Cage

I lose faith every hour.
As I sap my willpower
Dandelions float in the East Wind.
Aimlessly looking for his friend;
Soul, light as a feather
It can't live in this red, stormy weather
Southern gale washes over me.
Ripping me apart like a dying palm tree

Dying and Lying
Trying and Crying

Naked, I trudge to a cavern dark.
Skin scarred with unseemly marks
What's my line? What's my line?
What's my line, oh, God divine?
Unable to speak, unable to hurt
Atrophied heart throbs in the dirt.
Trapped in a guarded cage
I lament my age...

American Vampire

American Vampire
They drain blood from the faint-hearted.
Predators who devour the innocent
Teeth glinting like the watch of a rich man,
Feasting on the fat of the land,
Bloated with bodies, bodies, and bodies
"From beneath it devours".

And this beast never breeds.
Only attending to flesh needs
Every day, it lives to feed.
Stomach churns with boundless greed.
It tramples beauty, squashes truth.
Destroying the hopes of youth
Its defeat will come anonymously.
We must Occupy the beast.

Leaderless, we remain.
Who will bring a new day?
