Lion-Knight

The battle rages within me And despite all hope for yesterdays gone past I feel that I am all consumed by it's ravages The victim of a war I cannot win And then the depression takes hold I feel that the horsemen ride with him Reaping the harvest that is my body My own personal apocalypse awaits And despite all of these things, I hold peace for tomorrows yet to be It is hard to bolster the dam against flooding Vigil held despite all fears of loss This journey I would not wish upon anyone To find calm in the storm Warmth within the winters of our despair Impossible one would think But you do not know me Pax Vobiscum (peace be w

Fluffy Doom Of this is sure dear sister, they are plotting your downfall Sure the stares do also come with purrs Anytime you gather more than one cat in a room you have trouble This has been proven throughout history, if they had a little more ambition they'd be ruling the world now instead of acting like they do What can you do? Not much I am afraid, they have you in the iron grasp of their fluffly paws Accept fate for what it is and give up now Before they set the snare traps and ,oh yes, the pits with stakes in them they have always been rather nasty So when you wake up at two in the morning wanting to kill them Think to yourself

Above the tiers of man's highest structure The silence of the world draws one fragile hope closer That here we may dwell in peace at last Spark of good intent dwells deep within the mind Reflections of our spirit show the light and dark within us Be careful of the thoughts of man Alive forever it seems Intention to forever live in a heaven of our creation When one is placed before us already within our hearts -L

Justice for all Let me pause once to understand the full of it Before I carefully set this flaming sword down to rest To see the you for you And the problem not so big as it would seem only moments before Aye it was fate that is sometimes cruel but soft to unite us To let us walk the same road together if only for a bit There are times you think you have nothing to give Only to find it is an ocean of knowledge to another So here I am still Watching over my friends from a distance Caring not to intrude but to simply be there as much as I can be And help them get through the day to day worries -L

In times long past this time was held the most dear Perhaps it is not the actual day He was born But it is in the hearts of man to make peace on these long cold nights To be thankful for family at home or across many miles And  wonder at the silence of it all The stillness of white across fields once golden in hue Called the season of death long ago it is strangely filled with life and light Let the sounds of laughter fill  even the most dour of mankind We give presents to remind us that we should always give of ourselves We believe in Santa if only for one day Maybe we should always believe with our hearts the other three hundred s

Forever I am destined to rise up against the perils of man This is not some seeming daydream lost on summer days But a fight to survive these obstacles placed in my path Some are destined to heal the weak and comfort the sick Long ago I turned from any such distinction Into a world of sacrifice and demand cruelly placed upon sore shoulders Sometimes I tell myself that the cost outweighs any benefit Then I see the smile of my Daughter She cannot be as jaded as I Nor should I ever share that burden with her For there is innocence in that smile of pure love Never should she know this hard road I walk of light and shadow -L

Christmas strikes us so many places The day and the season itself we tend to hold dear above all others But that is only one way to see the world Among so many others I think that what makes the concept "Peace on Earth" so dear to us Is in the including of all faiths and ways of God But even that would not suffice this diverse humanity There are those that choose no religion at all To you, my friends, I say this "You do not have to believe in God to believe in peace" Come hold hands with us for this cause Then there will be no hands free to aim guns nor throw grenades This is my goal, one that sits deep within my heart. What is yo

Arise pup and face the new sun rising! Skilled at playing on your fears throughout that long darkness Leaping at shadows once thinking yourself the fierce war cat Nay but ye are a kitten in the face of this tide of war The numbers lay against you and there is no hope for tactics What do you do when the air itself seems to choke in fire? Cry valiant knight for this is the last they shall know of thee For now and your ever there is but one thing in your desire A strong arm to wield this blooded sword Mayhap a mask as well to hide the tears that flow freely down your cheeks For this is the last of it, your demons made flesh have won N

The echoes of yesterday still sometimes come back to haunt us Not that it is of gladness  or sad tidings from distant lands History is the teacher of us all Lend nothing man's nature of destruction No we should step forward and be as gentle as the lamb himself Display kindness unto the world and not the war we now know Raise the banner for peace so that generations after us dwell in harmony May hope be one quality that lies deepest within our hearts, for without it we are lost. But what can one person do? It is merely not enough to hold a candle to the stars and wish The promise of goodness is more than a silent dream It is this ba

I can see the haunting that lies within your footsteps And in the cold of this place the echoes of days not long past I shall never really understand why you found salvation in glass What knife could cut so deeply it's scars only fade on death? I have wandered dark paths before Never afraid to misplace the sunlight in shadow Damn me for a fool at times I can still see you in my minds eye Weak in body, but I think you were so strong in spirit I remember them telling me you were gone And the boy of stone crushed from the inside I shed tears for you As years pass so swiftly now, I think I finally have found your lesson There is a tim

Far into the winter night The bitter winds do blow. The moon shines with silver light Upon the sparkling snow. Though dead the Earth from waning sun And frozen hearts do break, We rejoice in kindred spirits For today the sun does wake. Winter Solstice, the day of Yule, Celebration all around. Hailing the living god reborn, Of love, of life profound.

You want want want what you don't have    no matter if it's the best. You say "mine mine mine"    and hold it to your chest. Can you feel feel feel the beggers need    or understand their loss? Their dreams are thrown to the wind    to satisfy the boss. You have lived lived lived a life    without financial worries. But you turn up your nose to those    who are weak and weary. Do you help help help these people    when you pass them by? Do you feel compassion    for the one who asks "why"? You walk walk walk along the busy street    and a begger asks for change. You reach into your pocket,    a motion you find str

I don't want to deal with you, with your selfishness and greed. I wish I could run away, but I stay and bleed. There's nothing I can do for you for you don't do it for me. I don't know if you will know, if or when you'll see. I'm tired of my sacrifice to ensure I'll have your love. I am giving up this dream to seek the one above. Believe me that I will grieve because I do love you so, But you must understand that this is why I go. Don't expect me to turn around for out there is more for me. When I am finally gone maybe then you'll see.
