Lines crossed...

I think there's a misunderstanding

We got our lines crossed no doubt

So why don't we just talk it over

And maybe we'll figure it out

Sometimes it's just in the wording

Or sometimes enough isn't said

And even with honest intentions

Someone can still be misled

Yes - misunderstandings can happen

A pain all around when they do!

But I'm sure that we can resolve this

And I'm hoping you feel that way too

Escape...

Since there is no escape, since at the end

    My body will be utterly destroyed,

This hand I love as I have loved a friend,

    This body I tended, wept with and enjoyed;

Since there is no escape even for me

    Who love life with a love too sharp to bear:

The scent of orchards in the rain, the sea

    And hours alone too still and sure for prayer—

Since darkness waits for me, then all the more

Let me go down as waves sweep to the shore

    In pride, and let me sing with my last breath;

In these few hours of light I lift my head;

Life is my lover—I shall leave the dead

    If there is any way to baffle death.

Wicked Path of Destiny...

I walk the face of earth once more,
a mindless puppet, my strings are torn.
the creaky bones, the bad eyesight,
yet the chance to turn wrong to right.
wars-a-waging, old mans guilt,
the worlds now on more then just a tilt.
parents weeping, children slain,
bloody thoughts, fear will reign.
I look in the shadows, a creature did lurk,
he whispered to me, hiding a smirk.
"Thou shalt be killed if thee can't find,
the demon lurking in thou mind."
So off I ventured, to quench my thirst,
of corpses piled with hearts-a-burst.
And on that quest what did I see?
