Words and Deeds

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Most people don’t talk with

The words that they say

We’ll listen closely to others deeds,

Their deeds of the day

We hope the two are similar

And will not lead us astray

‘Cuz communication is in our perception

Of what we see in a way

Words can be blunt

Deeds can be cruel

Don’t be a hostage

Don’t be a fool

Say what you mean and

Mean what you say

Honesty = the best policy

You won’t be dismayed

When you speak with

Forked tongue

And create fiction not truth

The misfortune you make

Will be your own sad proof

The Dark Poet

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

The darkest moments

Of my time on this earth reveal

The division of man

From the sophists’

Earn mass appeal

We turn on others

Scratching our way to the top

Thinking this will help us

Dog eat dog never ends,

Never stops

Seeking shelter

Some may retreat

Some may lash out

Some may simply weep

Standing in the shadows

Both in dream

And in wake

Cast out the fallen angels

And the tides that they make

The dark poet

Treads deeply

Commiserating the weaknesses of man

Tuned only to the misgivings

Tis this he understands

So in his quest

In futility’s sake

A man in constant sorrow

In fear he trembles and shakes

The tempest

The muse

The sirens

Refuse

The trappings of hate

Fester within us

No debate

It’s in their appeal

That we transgress

And fail to heal

The dark poet

Treads deeply

Commiserating the weaknesses of man

Tuned only to the misgivings

Tis this he understands

The Better Man I Wanna Be

~ DC ~ 1 Comment

downward glance

I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout the times

When I lost sight of my goal

Feeling down

A little helpless

Not good for the soul

My friends try and tell me

Try and give me their best laid plans

Sometimes the best advise given’

Is better served in one’s own hands

It’s up to me on this journey

Must keep myself in line

Keep myself solid

Good things will come in time

So look at yourself

Be true and stay free

I need to be better

The better man I wanna be

When we create a world

With wants over needs

The balance tips towards

The forces that you feed

Been thinking ’bout the times

I lost sight of my goal

Feeling down

A bit helpless

Not good for the soul

My friends try and tell me

Try and give me their best laid plans

Sometimes the best advise given’

Is better served in one’s own hands

Wounded at Heart

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Wounded at heart

Spirit retreats in shock

Thoughts become twisted

Another lost lamb in the flock

The cries from the child

A family possibly ignores

Turns silent with age

As the embers of rage continue to burn in the forge

Arrested development

For those afflicted seldom refrain from

Escaping the servitude of

A life filled with pain and shame

The past is gone

But shadows still remain

Keeping us from healing

The wages of sin

The siege of a new campaign

The trespasses of others

Made not from malice

They are not wicked

Only unaware,a bit rude, a bit callous

We curse at the world

When all is said and done

But the trouble begins

When you think only of yourself

A futile cry for help

A chaos felt next to none

No Stranger to Pain

No Stranger to Pain

Been around for awhile

Been down for awhile

Been treated bad

Takin’ on too much leavin’ me sad

Don’t know if I’ll make it

Don’t think I can take it

Only know how to fake it

Down on me to shake it

I’m no stranger to pain

And it’s that time again

When I continue to point and blame

Seeking shelter without any claim

A liability what a shame

I ask

I question

The results are the same

I pause

I think

Maybe it’s time for a change

When you barter with the devil

You make deals that are in vain

Truth be told

We ourselves cause most of our pain

Paradise lost – as happiness begins to wane

No Stranger to Pain

Been around for awhile

Been down for awhile

Been treated bad

Takin’ on too much leavin’ me sad

Don’t know if I’ll make it

Don’t think I can take it

Only know how to fake it

Down on me to shake it
