Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,

It got me to thinking. Now in my mind set I invision starting a fire, for me it is a little difficult. For me it is no more then a fire to warm up by or to have for a night light while camping. In these I take it for more...burning something out? Of exsistance? Not in vengence but comfort. Now in relaying these to SF I would think of remorse. Maybe even just the end of the line. Just something more I have better luck starting a fire with twigs instead of kindling, I am no good at chopping it. :PK-The lost will do their best to get home, if they are loved. To our soldiers who have given what they had.0

I like
Blue skies
And matches
I like
Disguise
Dark patches
I like
To hide
And watch it
Afternoon shimmers
In twilight’s
Sunrise
At sunset
With ashes
I like
Blue skies
And matches
I like
Disguise
Dark patches
I like
To hide
And watch it
Upon dawn set
Light up
The matches
Sun tan
In starlight
With passion

As I
Turn my head away
Smolders
Will they present a better day
As I
Walk to shadows from light
Smolders
Bring upon my nostrils delight
Walk away
Smell of smoldering ash
Be a ghost
Time to be somewhere else
Mend your mind
Wasn’t as fun this time
Burn away
To bring a better day
Pass on bye
The all turn blind eye
Never known
This day was coming upon
Shown dismay
Do they know what it is all about
Don’t turn back
Make them come for you
Why stop now
Time to carry through
A simple plan
But how it comforts you
Passing time
Light the fireworks
Frame of mind
Takes away some hurt
Mend the soul
Is that what this is for
Watch it burn
Precedent blaze
Taking it to the ground
Instance gone
In a heap of dust
Let it go
Do it until they know
This is here
What will come up now
Set a blaze
Start it with your match
Do again
Use the whole damned pack
Let it burn
Crashing to the ground
Shimmering light
Break the dark of my night
Let it burn
Bring on better days
Let it burn
Troubles up in blaze
Let it burn
As I run awayThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

New night
Come to me
New night
Set me free
New night
Light it up
New night
I have to see
Set the stage
But out of sight
Bought some time
Their noose is tight
When they come
Then they’ll see
In the light
They’ll find me
Kindle stacked
From horrid years
In their hearts
Within their tears
Can’t suppress
No forgotten times
It’s in my thoughts
Can’t cleanse my mind
Let it burn
Right to the ground
Saw the fire
Haunts day and night
Gone to ashes
Unforgotten time
A pain conceived
Of theirs was mine
Let it burn
To wick from match
Let them learn
Fears that hatch
Let it burn
Unyielding flame
Let it burn
Wished them the same
Let it burn
Relive my pain
And justice come
But not to me
For in this ash
I will be set freeThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

I can sense shadows drawing closer
Surely they will devour me
Caution comes in every step
Waiting for the moment’s strike
Waiting in anticipation
Waiting here
Through all frustration
Who will come to rescue me
Please provide a hand
Can only afford assistance if it comes for free
Why am
I standing closer
Why when
It only helps conquer me
Why can’t
I run just a little further
Surely I still desire to be set free
I can see somebody coming
Please tell me that’s your guiding light
Lord I know I hope that you can come
Enter quickly
Please make some noise
I’m lacking will
That’s why I’m wishing
I’m holding soul
But my faith it is now slipping
Did I cry
And pray in vain
My life’s been worthless
Let me try again
I’m waiting for that final hour
Time ticks by
It’s haunting me
Waiting for my clock to rest
Why is this not alarming me
Why am
I standing closer
Why when
It only helps conquer me
Why can’t
I run a little further
Surely I still desire to be set free
Trust in you
Well are you friend
You say you are
So help me end
Looking for a definite conclusion
With my loss even more of a win
Will you now make your decision
Can I go
Let more life beginThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

When you breath in
Can you feel it
Coming down
Right upon you
Does it smother
Suffocate
Life goes flailing
Precious moments
Too much to handle
You can’t take it
And with blind eye
Senses set in
Survival instinct
Nowhere in reach
You grasp
You hang on
Not so tight
You are trying
Can you earn your life
Feeling comes down
Sinking in
Pleading moments
Don’t mean a thing
Why start begging
Your all alone
No hope for triumph
It’s the way it is
Head hung so low
With lack of pride
Waiting for it
It won’t subside
No hope
No reason
Shadows overcome
No point in running
You don’t know where your running from
No direction
Big blank slate
One single entry
That tells your fate
Can you sense it
Can you feel
You know you can
Don’t see you running
Acceptance has sunk in
Where can you run to
You tried to hide
But fleeting moments
Have come to subside
Internal clock
Won’t play the game
Time stop ticking
Silence encompasses you
No point in trying
Arms are shaking
Reluctantly
Mind is open
Finally accepting
Nowhere else to turn to
End is coming true
Nowhere else to run to
You know your time is throughThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

Still I sit here
Why am I hating
All that’s been brought down
Patiently anticipating
Waiting moments
Killing time
Never thought
It would take this long
Flipping over hour glass
Seems the same as watching the paint drying
Boredom settles
It makes a home
Hatred stirred
But doesn’t grow
Lack of feeling
No care
No worries
Even with fate drawing upon me
Fireworks
Subdued by missiles
Explosions suppressed
Never shown
Blasting blocked
There’ll be no explosion
No astonished faces
Confused in a commotion
What will
It take to be over
When will
There be conclusion
Don’t want
Another act
Please call
Need the final curtain
Nothing much
Is known for certain
How do you pertain
What is your purpose
Show your will
I beg from near
End the torment
I give in
There’s no more fear
Give me something
Don’t want to pass the time
Clock is unwound
It’s settling time
Don’t deny
I do admit it
Did not try
I just can’t live it
Stop the hurting
Relieve their pain
Bring a final moment
Must I beg againThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

Felt it come
It’s coming on so strong
Light up bright
So that we
So we can guide from harm
Reaching hand
Oh steering clear
Drag me from
All those things we fear
Empty eyes
Skin so pale
A lifeless soul
Who am I to criticize
Time bomb ticking
To the world’s clock
A social beat
You can not stop
Time bomb ticking
When will I blow
When will I pop
Shadow creeping in
Upon me
Are you here to save the day
Shadows come to overcome me
Helping hand
Show me now
End these ways
Shadow creeping down
Consume me
Take everything that you have to
I understand you don’t want me to quench my desire
I understand you do only what you have to
Copious distain
It does provide me
Hatred the fuel that I need
Hold me back
Just end it all
Stop my clock
Make me the one who bleedsThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

So time heals?
Well it doesn’t seem
I fought so long
To suppress those dreams
I lit the match
I returned the fee
Am I to blame
For setting myself free
Penance paid
You paid the price
So have I
But not just this night
My soul has fled
Not by the flicker of my flames
I never had a hope
When you stomped on me time and time again
I’m help tight
From arms stretched from a mighty thrown
I never thought twice
Couldn’t you tell
In the lack of emotion I’ve shown
I never asked for much
Just the acceptance of me
I guess that’s to much
But now I’ll be free
From battered and torn
To being your thorn
Heaven or hell
I accept the product
From the revenge that I’ve thrownThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

Retribution’s Aftermath
Can’t seem to quench the flame
With the tears from your eyes
Spawning the river
In which you now drown
But as you wade deeper
Seems the less that you’ve learned
And come sweet dry shores
Your dripping and wet
Anguished in pain
Misery you can not forget
The dearest of friends
Who lit your paths way
Are sopping in palms
Retribution for the ashes you’ve made
What once caused the glimmer
Sole light in your life
Leaves you forsaken
Left in the cold
In search of establishing your mind
And what in this world
Had brought you unto
The devil’s hand lashed
Stole it all away from you
Still for time to unwind
Would not alter the past
For the misdeeds that you dealt
They forever altered mind
Everlasting mutation of sense
Forever masking your soul
Standing at glimmers
Seeing a new way to drown
His river a refuge
New reflection to him
Not in the shadows
But still giving light
Gentle breeze and shimmers
Glimpses of a new life
And there in reflection
Emotions battered and torn
Sees this new image
A beast within grasp
Something new to create torment
Or induce a few happy returns
Is this an aftermath
Or the same path to reliveThe only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!
