The Inevitable Return Of The Big Black Dog

The dripping tap that never stops
Is soon to flood my home
The stale waters flow with me
Wherever I may roam
...

22.
A Ghost Alone

I dread to ebb to times so twisted
When only half a heart existed
And I was just a ghost alone
Who'd haunt the world and be unknown
...

23.
Sugar On The Tongue

That guiding light in the distance
A river without resistance
The sweet melody of songbirds
The struggle to find the right words

Though I'm quiet, I've no serenity

Though his feet ache, he shall not break, the road is his best friend

Gentle bird, born of fire, there is nothing that it preys
...

Dare To Fly

Crippled under weighted world
That sits upon his fragile shoulder
The ground he stood forever swirled
Beneath his feet the embers smoulder
...

Subscription Expired

Gone are the faces that I once saw
And silent, the voices that I once heard
The bridges of old that connected us all
Burned down and vanished with no spoken word
...

30.

In a damp cell, no windows or view
Is a blank canvas standing still
A blank canvas, pale and old
Contains a story yet untold
