And Death Shall Have No Dominion
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

What Means This, When I Lie Alone?
What means this when I lie alone?
I toss, I turn, I sigh, I groan.
My bed me seems as hard as stone.
What means this?
I sigh, I plain continually.
The clothes that on my bed do lie
Always methink they lie awry.
What means this?
In slumbers oft for fear I quake.
For heat and cold I burn and shake.
For lack of sleep my head doth ache.
What means this?
A mornings then when I do rise
I turn unto my wonted guise,
All day after muse and devise.
What means this?
And if perchance by me there pass
She unto whom I sue for grace,
The cold blood forsaketh my face.
What means this?
But if I sit near her by
With loud voice my heart doth cry
And yet my mouth is dumb and dry.
What means this?
To ask for help no heart I have.
My tongue doth fail what I should crave.
Yet inwardly I rage and rave.
What means this?
Thus have I passed many year
And many a day, though naught appear
But most of that that most I fear.
What means this?

My Castle
A tower looms,
And thunder booms,
As I sit within my castle.....
I am alone,
Upon my throne,
As I sit within my castle.
I rule here,
Over pain and over fear,
As I sit within my castle.
The lighten strikes,
I feel it not,
For I am within my castle.
The rain it pounds,
My stone my ground,
While I am within my castle.
The wind it chills
The cold it kills,
As I sit in side my castle.
Some cries,
Aloon beneath the moon,
And I within my castle.
A sight of bliss,
As lovers kiss,
And me inside my castle.
A child is born,
In early morn,
And me inside my castle.
If stone could speak,
It'd say I'm weak,
For hiding in my castle,
A heart of stone,
I'm so alone......
But safe within my castle,
I rule this world,
These walls this stone.
My home.....
It is my Castle.

So Convinced
So convinced I was a man
Always certain what I had
What I felt and what I said
This part of life when
Lonely moments bring me tears
Certainty replaced by fears
Storm-beached and not sure why
Afraid of darkness and of cold
I must be young but I feel old
This emptyness that makes me cry
Lives inside me, lets me die
I witness the wake of what once was me
My shell leaps to divinity
In my chest a fading sigh
The dying heart whispers a call
Catch me in love, don't let me fall

Stalker
I am but a shadow in the night.
One who sees no light.
Darknes s my companion,
conciling me from the world.
At night I am a hunter,
searching for the travlers of the night.
Many say it is but the wind.
Not some one behind them waiting for the chance to strike.
Travling thru the forest,
seeing what I can,
becoming one of darkness
a deamon of the land.
A servent to no other,
bound by no chains,
no door to hold me,
nothing to stop my ways.
By DarkFox (c)

Song of Tears
Through branches falling
Death-incarnate feline
Bone-splintering violence
My parents dead
Hiding in bushes
Silent as lynx is
I wait and watch, sick
My parents devoured
With shocking clarity
My kitten-young memory
Remembers the black one
My parents knew
Night-shadow predator
Handsome dark ghost-cat
My parents were innocent
My parents are gone
Remorseless the wraith comes
Kills kin who live otherwise
Don't live by Tooth or Claw
My parents' choice
My people, the hunters
The hunted when gracious
I fled when I grew up in
My parents' way

Words spoken by Albert Camus...
Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Don't walk infront of me,
I may not follow.
Just walk besides me,
and be my friend.
