Shattered Paths - Prologue

Through my drug-induced stupor I could hear the muffled sounds of you reading me my rights. I knew them by heart, those words spoken over and over on television, in the days when we used to watch those dumb cop shows together. You knew me. We were best friends since grade school. You knew me, and still you let me throw my life away. You didn't even give me a second chance.
"If you do not have a lawyer, one will be provided to you by the state…" Your voice droned on, unaware of what was going on in my mind. You'd given no signs of recognition when you pulled me over, smelled the marijuana in my car. There was an open can of beer in the c

Something So Wrong

My halo is shattered
My wings are clipped
My white garments stained with blood

The candle-flame of innocence
Has been snuffed out
To be replaced by a raging wildfire of passion

The first bud of spring has grown
Into an enchanting bloom
That will capture the souls of the unwary

Your horns have grown longer
Your fangs have grown sharper
Glinting like steel in the moonlight

How can it be possible
For something so wrong
To feel so right?

Broken Wing

Hope
In the midst of the gloom of despair
Pulling me upward
As grief drags me down
I feel torn between the hope
Of having you
And the grief of losing you
Like a bird
With one broken wing, struggling
And then falling
falling
falling
Finally crashing to the ground
In a foreign place
Stranded, an alien survivor
Lost, with no way to get home.

Angel of Tragedy

I gazed solemnly down the street, its asphalt faded and scarred by cracks and potholes. I continued walking as cars whooshed by. Yellow grass lined the street as I trod carefully upon the narrow white shoulder. The heat baked me and everything around me, and I took another swig from my water bottle. It didn't matter that it was only the fifth day of June. In this town in east Texas it is hot and muggy, and since May it had felt like high summer.
The school loomed before me; its red brick walls are a cage that traps students like pretty canary birds. The building wasn't that old. It was built only five years ago, in 1981. I brushed off my jea

Eternal Bliss

Take me from this world
To eternal bliss
All punishments conceived
Are so much better than this.
How long must I live
With the thought that I caused his death?
When can I finally die?
Whenn will come my last breath?
I should have stayed, should have stayed;
The phrase echoes through my mind
I could have saved, could have saved him
Had I been there that time.
Can't you see how much it hurts?
He was always there for me.
Still, it makes me glad to say
That he is finally free.
I should have stayed, should have stayed;
I have no strength left within
I could have saved, could have saved him,
Had I been there for him.

What is Forever?

Tell me
What is forever
But an eternity of sorrow
An eternity to bleed
Without you?

What is a promise
If you will only walk away
When life throws all it has at you
When times get hard?

What are second chances
When every chance I give you
You throw out the window
When you keep asking five and six and seven times?

Tell me
What is love
But a mask
A guise behind which hate hides
A snake to strike and kill?

What is need
But a nagging, goading urge
That pricks at my very soul
And says that I want you here, I want you now?

What is lust
But a serpent that slithers in
And takes what it wants
Leaving us blinded?

What are we

This is one of my favorites. I tilted the camera up a little bit and placed it about where my ribcage is, so the flash wouldn't obscure my face.

I don't like it when I frown, and I don't like it when I smile.
