Like Shattered Glass

Anger flashes brilliant
Explodes in the room
Not so far away
Words get thrown
Daggers in the dark, I looked up
A question on my lips
That never was answered
It was like walking
On shattered glass
Pieces everywhere
Falling down around me
Bouncing off drawing blood
For no good reason at all
Except for guilt
On somebody Else's face
For being caught in the act
Its always that way
When somebody
Steps outside the line
And everybody knows
Because of a stupid blunder
You cant hide from
Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap
And looking in the mirror
Shows your true face
Better luck next time
Better cover all the mirrors
Or wear dark glasses
To cover up revealing
Your true evil self
To the ones who
Can see through the dark
To the ones that had no part
In your trauma
Until you decided
You didn't want to suffer alone
That will be your undoing
In the end.....

The Tower (The Moon and Stars)

So he said to me
Across the great web
Is there anybody
Special in your life
And I said no...
Not for a very long time..
We spoke about the dance
He said sometimes
You have to ask somebody
To dance..
And I made a reference
Left the crystal hiking boot
On the last ones door...
Running out
Before midnights last tolled
And behind the castle wall I would be
As the clock struck midnight
Well dont make the tower so high
Where mere mortals cant reach it
Or do you want a demigod
Or a champion....
I said...I'd be happy with
Somebody who understands
The movements of
The Moon and the Stars
But kept his feet on the ground
No one above me
No one below....
Just an equal...
And so from my darkness
Is there anybody out there?

Doing Time on Planet Earth (Crossroads)

The Days go by
Feels just like
Another wasted hour
Doin time on Planet Earth
Clock ticks on and on
Relentless as the years
Moved on past me
Timeless and empty
Then look in the mirror
Where you see
The lines don't lie
The gray reflection
Of too many crossroads
Too many tears
And another nightfall
On another empty path
Sometimes I wonder
Where the next one goes
Where it will take me
Or will I be forever
Stranded on the crossroads
So as tomorrow comes
And it will come
As it always does ...I wait
Sometimes for torment
Sometimes for destiny
And sometimes for fate

Waking the Spider

Do you ever notice
When Chaos finds you
As it always does
We seem to reconnect
Not one on one
Just across the web
Like a spider knows
When something is
Shaking the web
In dreams it awakens me
Here we go
All over again
Well from a distance
I always get that feeling
That something else
Like karma or fate
Has found you once more
I have to tell you
That looking in
Rather than being caught up
In another of your hurricanes
Like so many times before
Keeps my sea calm and peaceful
You keep testing fate
Far too often
It will catch up with you
One of these days
Waking the Spider
Pulling free from the web
Will get you tangled up
And become your undoing.
And I hope that
Im nowhere to know your fate
And that youll just fade
into the darkness from where you came...
