Shadow and Flame
I'm different from all the rest,
Those out of my malefic reach must be blessed,
My anger engulfs you in fiery flame,
My shaded hatred destroys you with no one else to blame,
With a thought and a motion bear witness to my demonic devotion,
Your belief that your life is your own is but a preconceived notion,
Unleashed are my minions of old, they will feast upon your soul,
I corrupt your mind with shadow and despair,
I inject your thoughts with fear and give you all a scare,
No one will know your situation, you won't live through the conflagration,
Your bones become dust and your blood combusts as I incite your instant cremation,
I excel at causing panic and confusion, Is that me or just an illusion,
I live where I may in dark seclusion, either way, your safety is a happy delusion,
I feed on the living, I command the dead, the masses I fill with dread,
What lies ahead? Only I know where my plague will spread,
I am to blame, because of my deeds, you will all remember my name,
Where ever I go I bring Shadow and Flame.

Shadow Of The Sun
Once upon a time
I was on a mind to lay your burden down
And leave you where you stood
You believed I could
Youd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now that is gone
Over with and done
And never to return
I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you why
The shadow on the sun
Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you on
The shadow on the sun
Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you on
The shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun

Why Blame...
Why blame the state of things around
For what they are, and how they are?
Each one must take the blame sans sound
For freedom’s misuse, use unfair!
Why blame a group that’s money-mad
For being so, when most are bad?
All hearts have loved money from birth,
And dreamt that it does give all mirth!
Why blame the air and water, soil,
For our ill-health, and lazy toil?
If each one did his duties well,
Our land need not be lust like hell!
Why blame others for faults our own,
And misdemeanour that’s self-grown?
Each rotten fruit can spoil the rest
However good, even the best!
Why blame the leaders for mis-rule,
When voter stays an instant fool?
The empowered must know limits,
And do just things the land befits!
Why blame the creeds and people’s mix
For landing us in queer a fix?
Nothing on earth can stay all pure,
Like diseases defying cure!
Why blame fair God for what we are
And seething problems, we can’t bear?
The power given to a few
Has rained on all as poison-dew!
Why blame and play a ‘blaming-game’,
When all must bow their heads in shame?
The freedom got through blood and sweat
Eludes the common masses, yet!
Why people have not become wise,
And blame others for each one’s vice?
Let patriotism and thought
Remain for land, brethren in heart!
When hearts and minds have gone corrupt,
Selfishness stays, progress disrupts;
When love for fellow-men stays high,
Then, freedom’s sense and truth can’t die!

Heart of your Shadow
The Shadows are dark
Can you feel them?
The shadows are hidden
Where did they go?
Can you see it?
The light within the dark?
In hides in the shadows
That one flame
The flickering flame
In the dark
Our hearts
All have a flickering flame
Let that light shine
In the darkest depths
Fear fades with anger and hate
Because of that light
The light lies
In a dark place
Let it shine within
The heart of your shadow

Shade and Shadow Dark and Night
Shade and Shadow
Dark and Night
Demons move
Beyond your sight
Moving slow
Cross the ground
Never do they make a sound
Shade and Shadow
Dark and Night
A murder has
Taken to flight
Stirring up the
Cold dead air
Does it matter?
Do you care?
Shade and Shadow
Dark and Night
Thoughts fill your mind
You think you might
These toughts they
Circle in your head
More and more you
Wish your dead
Shade and Shadow
Dark and Night
Capitulate
Give up the fight
It's too much effort
To go on
You're going
Going going gone

The Whisper
As my heart was full of worries
And my soul was full of revenge
Everywhere I looked I saw lies and hatred
And from that road, I could see no end.
My life and happiness was vanishing
As all I cared about was hate and fear,
I knew not any other course to take
But then suddenly, GOD whispered into my ear.
He said vengeance is mine so said the Lord
And forgiveness was mine to give
I was told to enjoy the life I was living,
And let others see the life that I do live.
The troubles I have, they were all man made
GOD said that to me as He spoke
And a peaceful mind, is a peaceful soul
And in Heaven someday, I will be known.
Then to me GOD, He spoke no more
Then to the Heavens I prayed and I smiled
What GOD told me I truly needed then
I was happy, as I was a new born child.
Now when I hear the lies or see the anger
I’ll remember the time my soul almost disappeared
When I gave up love, as it had given up on me
But then GOD; He whispered into my ear.

Follow the trend
What is wrong sir, if we follow the trend?
How to know who is foe or friend?
You can be person of non-entity with one stroke
Life can be shrouded under the veil and thick smoke
How does help moral when everything is on flame?
Whom to appreciate and whom to blame?
Life is not what we see and profess
We got to lead it as demanded in case
Morality keeps belly half filled
Innocents and true followers are simply killed
Pleasure and safety now things of past
Morality and standard all disintegrating
In single second you are no more
Some serious thoughts must be given therefore
Where are we leading and heading for?
What is need of continuing the proxy war?
Everybody wants freedom and liberty
No doubt it is birth right and has sanctity
What about carnage and existence of violation?
When we are unable to stop or raise the question?
We are called inhuman and pleasure seeker
There may be thousands of such thinkers
Many may disagree and many may be ready takers
Yet that is reality and we should not act as blinkers
We are selfish, arrogant and short tempered
You call us by any name when angered
Yet basic facts remain same when we live amidst fear
How long we can battle against odd situation and bear!
So enjoy the life that has been given
Live to the lat moment before it is forcefully taken
Who knows where from danger may lurk behind?
We may be left with no time to look around and find
Love to live with peace and seek to avoid bitterness
If can’t use sweet words then also smile on face
This may give some kind of respite in complex situation
It is useless to follow on set tradition with its continuation

Go Back
Why don't you go back from where you came
As we don't want your type here anymore
As all you brought was sadness and pain
And other ideas that we weren't looking for.
Please take back the way you live your life
And also the things you do and what you believe
As everything was happy before you arrived
But now its not that way anymore, so please leave.
Wished you would leave before you planted more seeds
Of how you lived your life and what you did and done
As we get sick when we know of your past deeds
Wished you had stopped that temptation before it begun.
You don't have that values that we have here
Nor our virtue or honesty and of course no pride
You cast your shadow in hate and dishonesty and fear
And we don't want any of that in our heart or at our side.
I see our children and I then think about them
As I remember what you did to your very own child
The one you said you loved you taught them sin
And you blame everyone else when they went wild.
Look around you now and tell me what you do see
Do you see happiness and love and hope forever more
Or do you see lying and sin and deception that we don't need
Now think, your soul could of been rich but now its poor.
When you came here you had destroyed so many lives
And also you caused so much evil and distrust and sin
And it started when you couldn't tell the truth but only lies
I see now what they mean when they said, you started again.
So look at your past and think of from where you came
Here as over there when you are thought of many do grieve
Over there you were known by your sins and by your name
So why don't you do us a favor here, and please leave.

Angelic face in a Devil's shadow
leave me nothing but a shadow of the past, a scroll
that showed me the real me, the me in you and the
wants in me to the things of what is to be a little god
in every way
please don't look at me with an angelic face with a
Devil’s shadow, screwing my soul where the dungeon
of hell awaits on my body's fumes of flame languishing
though out eternity
may the rainbow sprinkle its teardrops of the breathing
soul of my heart and melt the wondering soul in the
abyss of eternal flame be healed in the oasis of sweet
melody of your heart
take and retake the beacon of my heart, a broken piece
that will remember the real me, a reflection of the beauty
of the yesteryear of my life of where I always value the
essence of knowing nothing than me
may the angel of darkness cease to come with his
angelic face in a devil shadow of eternity and leave my
life to reach the shadow of the rainbow of where I
may see the beautiful person I use to be
come to my heart and leave not to the temptation of
my soul my dear Lord and rescue me in thy devil's fire
Amen

shadow is a personality
shadow is always there to torment me
shadow makes me live in fear
shadow makes me cry out black dark tears
-------
suicudan is another personality
suicudan is a hurt side of me
suicudan is a person who tells me to cut
suicudan is a person who lets me leak out blood
suicudan is there when i need to die
suicudan is there when i need to cover up my lies
-------
angel is another side of me
angel is a person who helps me lets me live happy and in peace
angel is like of the faces that i love
angel is then a force that takes me above
angel makes my luck good
angel makes me like it should

The voice of the Poor
when everything looses its taste and vengeance cloth the
agony of the heart, the gnashing of teeth birth the beginning
of hatred, and the sting of death lives with thy soul, through
out generation to come
every faith challenge the discernment of the heart, living behind
the tears of the innocent, that calls the coolness of a stumble
heart, sprouted like an incense fume, chanting the bravery of
fear
as the eyes sees the suffering of the soul, the venue settled
down an avenue of loosing one's life, an experience of thy heart
that lives beyond man's personal conviction to die, even death
is not an option just to rise an honor to what faith calls
as the ladder of pain hurts the shadow of death, the will to live
is beyond compare, to shed blood, is what it is call, living
through dying is the only wisdom to live in harmony to every
man's faith
life is a call, to gain the fame of living is to give what is best in
life, it is in a small thing you give that, life brings us to see
and find the meaning of what is life...... a call to live

Thunder Underground
Your thoughts are compromising
Self - centered, patronized
Your image supersedes your soul
You find me mystifying
Subhuman, so anoying
You cant have me under control
You think you live forever
You dont find that profound
You wont think, youre so clever
When you hear thunder underground, all right now
Your morbid fear of losing
Destroys the lives youre using
You only have one point of view
The stigma of delusion
Confirms your self illusion
And after all this could be you
When you hear thunder underground, here we go now
Could it be that I have found my mind or have I gone insane?
Roller coaster of the madness and theres only me to blame
The ever faithful hand of doom will take the pain away
Ill never know the answer to it all til my dying day
Your bullshit culture licking
Cant stop the deathwatch ticking
Youre only mortal after all
Your appetite for power
Subverts your every hour
But every time the mighty fall

My Sweet Shadow
I'm selling heaven sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity
To fill the holes inside
An ever moving stream
With glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to past lies
And I know I should let go
I found a flame in the burnt out ahses
...burn out, burn out
Tamed with confidence
of a brighter future
Fueled These new shores burn
Dark past lies cold Shadow
My sweet sweet shadow
To you i look no more
Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded?
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger
In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depth that I created
In vain ecoes fade

I Dare Not
1.
I hear strange voices in the air.
My pulses leap, I tear my hair
In rage, rebellion, and despair;
Yet dare not speak.
2.
I am for right, my foes for wrong,
But they are legion, they are strong,
And I am one amid the throng,
Alone and weak.
3.
What ear would hear me if I cried?
What comrades rally to my side?
What force have I to stem the tide?
What right have I?
4.
Though I should plunge in flood and flame,
Though I should suffer shame and blame,
The world would triumph all the same —
And I should die.
5.
Why should I join the hopeless fray?
Why should I waste my little day?
Oh, why should I be called to pay
So vast a price?
* * * *
6.
Have courage, craven soul of mine!
The light within thee is divine,
And others need to see it shine,
Let that suffice.
7.
Others beside thee quake and quail
Before the terrors that prevail;
Thy captive kindred faint and fail
As well as thou.
8.
But when thy lifted front they see,
They will take heart and soar with thee;
It is thy help to set them free
They wait for now.
9.
Give to those silent sufferers each
What inspiration he can reach;
Give righteous treason honest speech,
That all may hear.
10.
This god of custom that we dread,
This social code that weighs like lead,
What is it worth, when all is said?
What is't to fear?
11.
When with a faithful eye one sees
That they whose will we live to please,
Crush right with might for love of ease,
And selfish greed.
12.
When infinite night and silence lower
O'er such brief span of human power,
These poor conventions of an hour
Seem poor indeed.
13.
Be brave, my soul! The world may frown,
And its brute fashions bear thee down,
But Truth will swim, whate'er may drown,
And Truth will live.
14.
Be bold to speak at Truth's behest,
And, though thou suffer without rest,
Yet still thy gain shall be the best
That life can give.

My Shadow
Hey there shadow
What's it feel like to be the shadow of me?
Following me around
Head facing down
Got no way of saying
Exactly how you're feeling
In the dark, all the time
What's on your mind?
The shadow
Shadow of me
You're the only one
Who does exactly as i do
Capture every movement
Memorise my fear
You're forever here
By my side
The shadow
Shadow of me

I Took Your Name
I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion,
Whos to blame?
I signed your living will
I smiled your face
Im ready to close the book on
Nasa and outer space
If there is some confusion
Whos to blame?
Whos to blame?
I sequenced your arrival
I sealed your fate
I pushed the button
And erased your master tape
I wrote the sales pitch
I threw the gray switch
I dragged your big-assed
Dirty robbed car out of that ditch
If there is some confusion
Whos to blame?
Whos to blame?
I crossed your great divide
I stirred your oceans tide
I called your bluff until
I blew your circuits wide
Ill be your albatross,
Devil dog, jesus lord
I dont wanna be iggy pop
But if thats what it takes
If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
If there is some confusion
Whos to blame?
Whos to blame?

Kissing Your Shadow
I kiss your shadow in the sun
My blood spills, the dust drinks it.
Yellowed pages drift away in the blue
Merciless time closes the manuscript.
I chase a shadow that vandalizes my day
And brews a fiery night of dark phantoms.
My being disintegrates into dead fragments
To be blown away as scattered ashes of hope!

The Wife
Living, I had no might
To make you hear,
Now, in the inmost night,
I am so near
No whisper, falling light,
Divides us, dear.
Living, I had no claim
On your great hours.
Now the thin candle-flame,
The closing flowers,
Wed summer with my name, --
And these are ours.
Your shadow on the dust,
Strength, and a cry,
Delight, despair, mistrust, --
All these am I.
Dawn, and the far hills thrust
To a far sky.
Living, I had no skill
To stay your tread,
Now all that was my will
Silence has said.
We are one for good and ill
Since I am dead.

Ziplining
stay with me, hold on the through out the way; the
flow awaits every strength to pass for each path the
current emptied the spot
full out everything what you have, the bucket is in
a hurry, full of sand and the rope never give up to
stand, until the conveyor becomes heavy, as the
sun is high your thirst seems to lonely
many have come to remember, but only few have
return, for the string they have bring is not as easy
to regain, life come and go and never it stop until
the victory comes in top, just like to any dream in
the mind it remain
as life express the build in stamina, to face of what
is tomorrow the struggle continue to zip the oozing
shadow of vigor filaments of flame to reach the
wondering enlightenment of changing energy driven
life of destiny ends
now and let the movement hold my breath to reach
my destination, and come to my senses in the most
spectacular splendid light, waiting every edge of my
tangled force to reach my devotion of attainment
lay every heart to pursue your dream of what you
wish.........

In God's Horizon
it is in God's horizon that all are equal, regardless, of faith, sex, religion, race, even in our decision of where to end our lives our belief, has always been there to reminds the, thirsts of our soul, to a dream of dreams and a hope against hope, that this journey is worth to
live by
the immortal of soul is the only key we hold, to reach what is life everlasting, what we are today is not what we will bring us in life after death, it is our heart, our faith, our being one, our genuineness of belief, that would leads us to the beginning of life
the trust in our soul, woven with forgiveness, weaken God's wrath, that the harmony of a sinner and the giver of life, all things will be judged accordingly, in God's mercy, witness by our very own soul, when time has come to an end, death is certain and life final direction is on the horizon, be sure that in the moment of silence, whisper your soul that, in your heart
..... ' your happy in the company of angels singing hymn of praise with God of which you know Him '... in your soul and want to live through out Eternity.... in God's Horizon

For Friend Rey
out there
in a foreign land
how long will you hide your face away from all of us?
your shadow is here with us
talking and telling everything about your clothes
and perfume
how you smell like someone else that we have known
beforehand
before you left us
we cannot pretend forever that we do not know
neither can you
it seems that all of us here, your friends and foes
know what we have been up to
admiring the flames and never touching any of its colors
it is sad..it is very sad. we want you to be happy
we want you to fuse with your alienated shadow
we want you to be whole
and be with us
without any fear
we are kind, we know and we understand
our hands are open, our arms are embracing
when you finally come home
please bear with us, we are one with you
touch the flame, we do not really mind
be hurt with so much bliss, we have no reason to stop you
less yourself, we cannot be happier.
