NOTE:I own these poems. Take them and die. SILENT MUSIC Darkness falls and all is quiet Cannot hear the noisless riot Creeps into a terrified mind Whispers words no words can find Screaming voices straight from hell Haunted eyes know them well Now, my friend, you shall see An end to all my misery Silence unbroken in the night Shattered dreams that won't take flight Mind is broken, end is near Shrieking with unending fear Tears no mortal man can see Fall from eyes that cannot be A shadow now I must stay Until I hear the music play
SHADOWS OF MY MIND Eternal shadows of my mind I see them in the light Eternal peace I cannot find Singing softly of the night Shadows took it all away As I screamed out in growing rage Hope and joy are gone today Locked inside my mind's own cage Singing voices in the dark I can feel their song Making their scarring mark Of all who have done me wrong Crying songs of sadder times Dancing demons of my dreams Mingle with the graveyard chimes And echo with my fading screams
NOW AND FOREVER Now and forever I will remember Now and forever I will not forget thee Now and forever Though the horror haunts me Now and forever Stays the silence of space Now and forever To see the memory of a face Now and forever Darkness Now and forever Silence Now and forever Haunted Now and forever Alone Now and forever
CHILDREN RARE I do not feel the perpetual dusk And I shall not feel the pain I will not heed the words of hate Pounding in my brain For I will live in worlds untrue Where skies and starlight shine And the figments and the ghosts Shall from my tattered mind combine Then reality, how hateful that Oh it shall be destroyed And I shall see the stardust then That mortals ne'er enjoyed This world will be of mystic sort And it shall be more kind Then worlds I've seen of normal type Outside my tortured mind And so I leave my fellow man And hurry on my way To world of sound of daffodils And moonbeams in the sky do sway And the world will miss At least the ones who saw me there But wonderous worlds will not wait For those who are the children rare
