merging mentality's 
what once was two shall now be one 
dark shadows flee from the rising sun 
new light of day chases the past away 
what was once was beat... now shalt not stay 
dissipate to reassimilate... tasks are shared between 
discarded chore now cast ashore.. before the shade is seen 
the last resolve before dissolve.... an echo in the breeze 
lost part... with in the dark.. theres more thats left unseen 
a new beginning with a brand new day 
a debt indebted will now be repaid 
what once was taken shall remain undone 
a new view revealed with the rising sun 
a part of me... did die today 
but we knew that part just could not stay 
an echo in the breeze of last resolve 
till job is done then too dissolve 
dissipate to reassimilate... tasks are shared between 
discarded chore now cast ashore.. before the shade is seen 
the last resolve before dissolve.... an echo in the breeze 
a thousand fold... more tales told... a truth half heard to tease 
do unto others as they would do unto you 
this lesson taught well to a shaded fool 
past commitments must be up held 
but for future the lessons learned well 
a guarded moment changed in time 
many a hidden word warped in twisted rhyme 
who to the message ? who to the spell ? 
lost meaning to the blind fool who will never tell 
dissipate to reassimilate... tasks are shared between 
discarded chore now cast ashore.. before the shade is seen 
the last resolve before dissolve.... an echo in the breeze 
more to thought... than lessons taught... and more that words can mean 
looking glass 
take a look into the looking glass 
with in a moment 
you are there 
as the dark dank tunnel tumble’s you, 
within the darkness 
feel the terror feel the tear 
torn too with fascination 
split by fear and dread 
dead paths revealed before you 
as you wonder where they led 
theres one traveled trail of gravel 
this path pulls to draw you on 
one real resolution 
to find out what has gone 
through bramble that grasp the glowing orb 
as they strangling out its light 
barbed fingers clutching, cutting flesh 
as roots sternly seek 
to clasp you tight 
onward over boundless cavern wide 
spanned by slender, fragile rope 
can it bear this extra weight? 
can you risk to hope? 
darkness flys around you 
as you seek safe sanctuary 
will you find that peace of mind? 
or merely stark insanity? 
through slender hall 
with grasping hands 
make small yourself and speed 
they reach without despairing bars 
upon your soul they’ll feed 
the open space of desolate 
fear flys in dark’s disguise 
souls shrieking sorrow creeping 
hunting ...waiting 
till the prey is once espied 
hunting as you run for cover 
a tower looms up high 
locked door and pitted walls 
for cover you must climb 
howling figures dive 
as the you strive to reach the top 
whispers in you frozen ears 
that urge you now to drop 
aloft a window hope’s a fire 
as you stumble through the aperture 
no going back now for what you see 
you wanted answers? 
what could it be? 
alone a maiden sprawled on her bed 
lifeless 
is she dead? 
a mirror affixed the door 
fragment reflections upon the floor 
a fist a belt a shoe ? 
who broke this mirror ? 
was it you ? 
did sharp words reverberate? 
was it more than it could take? 
besides the mirror a trail of blood 
each piece fragment caused a cut 
can you see into the shards ? 
do you know now where you are ? 
CAN YOU SEE INTO THE SHARDS ? 
DARE YOU LOOK FROM WHERE YOU ARE ? 
now take a look into the looking glass 
any piece but have a care 
take a looking within the looking glass 
in a moment you are there 
but as you walk within the shadows 
as you feel reality tear 
can you escape the looking glass 
or are you trapped in there 
deeper and deeper 
can you escape in time 
take a look into the looking glass 
welcome to my mind 
wall of sound 
Fight the over whelming noise pounding at your head 
Trying hard to decipher anything that’s said 
Unable to tolerate the wall of sound 
As you fight the chaos attacking you from all around 
You feel you stand alone merely tolerated by those so near 
No aspect of you links you to others you hold so dear 
Your mind throws slanderous thoughts around in to your mind 
A candidate for loneliness your own company all you find 
Extracted from life… a walking carcass all that’s left 
Thoughts blend with reality… a heart that feels bereft 
Echoing sound… silence all around… the words in your head pound 
No peace no quiet no solace to be found 
fragmented reality 
Shattered fragments fall… onto the rocky ground 
Piecemeal reflections… shinning back… at the tearful clown 
A myriad of mockery … 
a distorted smile… is shown 
No one to see the jester smile… shows over… 
he’s all alone 
Mirrored desolation … Casts back the memories to the blackened soul 
Faded hopes of yesterday…many a failed goal 
Lost laughter wars… with faded dreams 
The ghost of things… that could have been 
Smile painted in broad cast beam 
Nothing… ever… as it would seem 
Tears mar painted false facade 
Wash the grease paint… smile’s fade 
Mirrored shard… held tight in grasp 
Blood washes present… heals the past 
Scar the marred fragmented soul 
Let pain of body… hide pain of soul 
Lost in a world of distorted view 
Hidden from most but the chosen few 
who 
Peace? … natural sedation? 
Loss of concentration? 
Am I loosing my mind? 
Look into the blank eyes what do you find? 
Loosing reason… cohesion 
No thought or exertion 
Slowly slipping away 
Or allowing sanity to stay? 
Fragmented thoughts 
Feelings distraught 
Abstract reality 
Is this the real me? 
Confused… bemused 
Feel lost and used 
What is peace of mind? 
Is it something I can find? 
Thought…dancing in my head 
To fast to be read 
Is this insanity? 
Could it be the real me 
Who am I? 
What am I? 
Where am I? 
Why am I? 
Alone I cry 
Am I just an empty shell? 
To selfish to tell? 
To lazy to heal? 
To scared to feel? 
Damaged merchandise? 
Dead dull eyes? 
No completion 
Permanent deletion 
Chase friends away 
Deserving non-to stay 
Isolation? 
Natural sedation? 
Self-destruct 
Disrupt 
Why? 
Who am I? 
who am i 
Who am I? … I am no one just a cold dead frozen heart 
What am I? … I am nothing but a shadow in the dark 
Where am I? … I am every where and confined to the pits of hell 
Why am I? … I am the balance… I live so you are well 
When am I? … I am all time … my being echo’s through the past 
How am I? … I was created from a demons last repast 
How can I? … My soul kills and perishes those I hold so dear 
I take away your anguish I take away your fear 
How long will I? … For all of hells bitter sweet eternity 
I am nothing I am no one I am poison this shadow which you see
These are Dark but very, very good!!!
