Where do we go when the laws on which we depend
are practiced by lawless men
Evil sleeps
in midnight dreams
will anyone hear the screams

The bones are spilled,
poisonous vermin on the run
Something evil this way comes
the sun will drown in blood
flesh melts away
dead souls rise from the flames
placing their fingers in my veins
A sickening, a reckoning,
the conjured demons arise
wise men prophesied
while strong men die
PROPHECY
My shadow whispers in faint dialogue
Not in language but in thought
A ghost like veil strays over the moon like a curtain
My eyes are still in the uncertain
I’m reminded of a time when stories were untold
Reminded of souls never meant to be sold
A time when treasures were not always gold
Smoke like water and rings of fire
Stars dance in a celestial pool of desire
The wind has captured a moment
time is frozen
I am what I dream…no sorrow or pity
I breathe alive until my ghosts have died

Vengeance is Mine
Where do we go when the laws on which we depend
are practiced by lawless men
evil sleeps
in mid-night dreams
will anyone hear my screams
violence in my eyes
blood rains from the sky
am I dead or alive
or martyred like Jesus Christ
Holy man speaks in riddles and rhyme
tells me that vengeance is mine
war is hell
as Satan climbs out from the well
the air smells like death
I can feel it in my sweat
I am a soldier and my mission is clear
save me from myself, I don’t belong here
too late for me now, I have seen too much
is this mine or your blood
violence lives in my eyes
bullets rain from the sky
you have forsaken me Jesus Christ
Now…
and ’till the end of time
Vengeance is Mine
Oh, dio, abbi, pieta di me
She walks in black mystery
like a purloined piece of the night
her flesh, liquid reverence
pale lucidity and a Cantlet of benevolence
she brings a moderate chill to the air
offering a hemotic cloak to wear
Amorous as I contemplate the overture
Eager to taste the ruby ambrosia of her kiss
moistened, pursed, wet, anxious lips
she coils, hisses, lunges in playful fodder
the juices flow with a hint of palatable copper
Saline clarets fill my mouth
the chimera of this embrace wants out
I can no longer deny, but I must
itching loins, primal lust
I can feel her heart and taste her breath
she looks like a dream but smells like death
spreading her hood, revealing her true form
unyielding on my veins, the blood runs red and warm
the poison is coursing, beguiling, bewitching
skin exploding, nerves are twitching
she is once again human
enthralled by her acumen
she stands over me, pondering the necromancy
She walks in black mystery
like a purloined piece of the night
there is longing in her whisper
a welcoming carelessness to whither.
You made a monster of me
wanting all that I see
devouring, empowering, penetrating greed
envy ends on Sunday
apathy begins on Monday
preacher speaks on his behalf today
does anyone know what they need
while on their knees
Jesus freaks clutching rosary beads
when they are broken and gave everything
they are so much easier to lead
They made a monster of me
a simple man with simple needs
until thy neighbor has more than me
what is this thing called jealousy
his wife is pretty and petite
she keeps waving at me
I want what that man has
want what I cannot have
don’t it make my blue eyes green
she’s on the cover of my magazine
she smiles like a cartoon
her wedding was in June
An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
the irony has put the shackles on you
flattery is the projection of truth
strategy is the rejection of youth
Money can’t buy me love but it can get me sex
love is priceless, timeless
so say the ones not divorced yet
it made a monster of me
when you have nothing, everything is a need
I wore your suit of violent green
wanting all I see
the prince of poverty
the king of mediocrity
don’t it make my blue eyes green
and a monster of me
You stopped coming to me
can’t you forgive my sins
the cost is too much for me
I don’t know how to live
I’m caught in the darkness of lost love
cold and heartless, as the memories of us
I often dream in black and white
colors are mere after thought in my eyes
You were the loving Mother
he the prodigal son
I played the absent Father
now look what I’ve done
My home is gone
been drifting for far too long
grasping at straws, reliving the loss
I’ve failed in so many ways
lived in vain, ’till nothings left of my faith
I don’t know how to pray
searching for the words to mark your grave
do you miss me like I miss you
cry real tears like I still do
the hole in me grows larger with time
I can barely look into my own eyes
and this pain is peeling away the disguise
Did you stop loving me
can you forgive my sins
the cost is too much for me
and I don’t know how to live
caught in the darkness of our lost love
cold and heartless, as the memories of us
Blue Eyes
How long has it been
blue eyes standing in the rain
the dark sky hides my eyes
for I cry far more than I like
still just a boy inside
with sad blue eyes
( Chorus )
I’ve tried to drink past the pain
yet I still feel the same
If I was the candle, you were the flame
remember when I could touch you
remember when I could hold you
remember when I loved you
remember when I told you
I’m not any better, just getting worse
my blue eyes still miss you, and it still hurts
sometimes I just watch the sky
and wonder if it was all a lie
blue eyes looking for a sign
( Repeat Chorus )
I’ve traveled over earth and water
confessed my sins to my father
dear son your words still reach me
dear mom your words still teach me
I’ve built a stairway from love and memory
each day I will add a step
’till my life comes to an end
( Repeat Chorus )
Lost In The Rain
The home is quiet
whispers in the silence
a newborn cries
outside, passers-by, smile at the sound of new life
all babies sound the same when they cry
( Chorus )
Go ahead and cast the first stone
Go ahead and burn down my home
call me names
bloody my face
who is to blame
the answer is lost in the rain
The fight begins
she would take her own life to save his
hundreds of years have gone by
still facing the same crimes
all children sound the same when they cry
( Repeat Chorus )
Someone once had a dream, a vision
that we would not be judged by the skin we live in
we offered an olive branch
but can’t get the blood off of our hands
Mothers child has grown now
he has the courage and the conviction
to erase the lines of division
the home is quiet
whispers in the silence
all mothers sound the same when they cry
( Repeat Chorus )
I heard someone once say
that being married was like going to AA
Hello, my name is Dave
I’ve been married for, forever and two days
It’s been years since I made a decision
I often think about having an opinion
but what’s the point, no one is listening
marriage is like life in prison
you go in hoping your life won’t be that long
then you realize you aren’t the only one with a dong
too many inmates watching the Vagina Monologue
you’re about to be bitch slapped by Elton John
I’m a bitch, I’m bitch, oh the bitch is back
never been more ashamed to be a man
I can bitch, I can bitch, ’cause I’m better than you
I got a vagina and Fallopian tubes
God love her, ’cause sometimes we don’t
it’s 71 in the house and she’s cold
but goes outside when its 20 to have a smoke
one good thing, we don’t argue or fight
just get used to sayin’, ” you’re right “
don’t know what fool said his best friend was his wife
probably the same fool still asking his mom for advice
my friends never asked me if they looked fat in that dress
never told me when their period starts and ends
never got pissed when I looked at another women’s breasts
never told me my joke hurt their feelings
never told me I had enough to drink we are leaving
never told me we needed to talk during a football game
what fool said men and women were created the same
love, to her is doing all the things she hates together
I know we said for better or worse but does the worst ever get better
We cook, we clean, we cut the grass
we do dishes, laundry, she don’t even have to ask
if a man from 1970 saw us now he would just laugh
remember when we were young and loved to mingle
all married men realize too late, we had more sex when we were single
this is what it’s like being a married man today
like going to AA
Hi my name is Dave
