Ultimatum

Ultimatum

Things written in stone

Stand down the ages

But I like erasers

What if you change your mind?

Vacillating is a daily occurrence

A bit of a smudge here and there

Makes us human

No one should be perfect

Flaws are something to love

No one wants someone

Who they have to worship

And stand in awe of

I want an equal

Even if that means

Always being alone

Justified

Justified

Whatever I was thinking

Believing I was worthy

You wouldn’t even look my way

Now I know why you won’t

Return my calls

You could not even justify

Spending the dime

I admit the rate of return

Is appreciably bad

What is there to keep me

In this barren, fruitless life?

No love, no reason for being

Would the world suffer my lack?

Wondering

Wondering

I’ve lost my footing along the way

I no longer hold my head up high

Would anyone wonder why?

Whether at work or at play

No longer able to throw cares away

Ever wondering why

This has to be the way

Life is lived in brief spans

Mine seem to be mainly tired

Longing for holding of hands

Filled with a burning desire

But eminently lacking in plans

Ending in a gulf of fire

Sexual Politics

Sexual Politics

Endless potential in motion

A chance, perpetually begun

The world is your oyster my friend

Joining the battle is half the fun

Call out the trumpets of glory

Time to start a new story

We begin by tilting at blades

Where are the giants to slay?

We must rescue the honorable maids!

But the maids no longer need rescuing

In fact, they’re the ones raining fire!

Fairy Tales are hopelessly outdated

But without them you never feel sated

So we’re left with an unknown system

It’s very hard to assist them

To help slay the dragons, it’s hard to know

When people don’t behave as they should

Who’s to remember which side is good?

Distance

Distance

Missing only begins to describes

The thought of being without you

As daylight creeps up my window

What’s missing from my view is you

And it burns more it each day

It’s getting more painful to say

How much I love you and in every way

The distance grows farther

And more silent every day

Without your smiling face

I wade into the daily fray

Certain that I’ve lost you

Determined to come for you

But missing you and loving you

Turnstiles of Time

Will you miss me when I’m gone?

When the dust clears

And the smoke settles

Will the memories fade?

As the lights dime

And the curtains close

The people pass through

The turnstiles of time

I want to leave my mark

Human Nature

Human Nature

The burning of desire

The banishment of grace

The fall from heights so lofty

That it tangles with men’s fates

Aestheticism becomes you

And chastity is best

It’s hard to get in trouble

When you simply want to rest

But now to take it further

And heavenward and more

To be pleasured by the punishment

Attracted by blood and gore

We always take it too far

Can’t stop at satisfied

Heaven forbid we stay at even keel

Though it’s been a lovely ride

Morrigan/Hecate

Morrigan/Hecate

Daughter of the moon and skies

A trickster born and bred

Mother of angels, Queen of lies

Poisoning her own lovers bed

Foretelling the toll of the dead

But necromancy is where she is strongest

She excels in the hearth and the soul

Who loves the most lasts the longest

But can she survive it whole?

Three tasks can take their toll

He comes begging assistance

When presented with her shadowy debut

He shows a world of resistance

Which will cause him, his decision to rue

If only he had learned some virtue

Now at a crossroad she stands

And becomes a new face, a new being

She crosses into many new lands

Trying to feel like its intentional not fleeing

Wild Winds

Wild is the wind that whips the shore

And Beats the beach and sand

Rolling the riptide rises

The seas ever steady lure

It calls us to leave the land

Forces us to make compromises

Then returns us nary a favor

No matter how we command

We always know where the truth lies

Although the ocean is ours to savor

We fathom what it symbolizes

Allure

Look but never touch

See the unknowing

Things that are unavailable

Are the most desirable

Is it the unattainability

That makes them so desirable?

Are objects aware

Of their allure?

When thousands clamor

For one thing only?

If it were me,

I would quake in fear.
