For you

Sometimes I feel you are the only chain

Holding me back to sanity

The dreams of tomorrow at the end of the world

The warrior’s strongest weapon: not his sword but his heart

A ray of warmth in the coldest, darkest winter

But the most important things in the world are also the most overlooked

And so I walk, a blind man

The light of life illuminating my way.

The Violator

I saw you that night

Your naked body, glistening

Like a Greek goddess carved out of stone

Tempting me to cross all restraints

But I saw you that night

And your radiant smile

That must have stolen many a boy's heart

Frozen onto your cold, cold lips

And I saw you that night

Beautiful, as always

Inside, as much as outside

On the autopsy table.

There is nothing inside me
But howling emptiness:
Bone, Sinews, Flesh, Nerve, Skin
Makes not Life
But an empty shell
That was once Man
A clock without a clockmaker-
Broken.
