BLEEDERS! < !signature-->Obsessive eyes, deviant course, She rides the night with no remorse, In search, a victim to inlay The stare of Death, then glide away… In thankful pause, stopping to feed On terror-stricken souls in need Of something never graced, nor held In withered hand or heart, compelled… To reach a higher devout plane ‘Twixt Man and God and Life through vain Attempts to resurrect the past With mislaid guilt that never lasts. And, woe, the angelic beasts sweep Down from their higher, haughty keep To fall upon the vanquished prey That Death may live another day. While Grief, that vile forespent prayer, Slowly enshrouds this demon lair; And echoes in the hallowed cry Of he, the man, who hones the lie… Suffering none the torrid shame Or sacrament of truth in name, In whims and whines of spirits fled From Passion’s Heart, or Slayer’s Bed! - From those who long for just one day More in an Eden passed away, But fear return to the hell-wrought Decay of dream that went for naught! And, yet, we ride this carousel That spins these webs we know so well Will only trap us in the lust Of those who feed upon our trust! Michael Anderson But dreams of those who dream as I, Aspiringly, are damned and die. EAP [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 11-04-2000).] |

And oh, how quickly, we forget, compression of a coal's cool sweat-- the fracture of a diamond, made-- compounded-- How? we are amazed... with just a simple rhyme of him? To ask, to ask, to beg of him... to beg of rhyme to wonder, when... We wait. Allied. Remember when... We loved. We lied. We were, once then.... Too late. We lied. We were not then. |

Welcome to Passions Michael!!! You write like an old friend of mine... though maybe a little better. Don't know whatever happened to him. Aww, who cares? You write better anyway - he was always depressed and boooooring! *yawn* This rocks m'bro - I know you wrote this for me - From those who long for just one day More in an Eden passed away, But fear return to the hell-wrought Decay of dream that went for naught! Yep. C |

serenity, you may have meant to post that reply separately but I found it very interesting nonetheless.  Kethry, as well as possible... Chris, your friend sounds a little lethargic to me... maybe he's just sleeping his life away... shhh! - please don't wake him while he's dreaming... PdV, true friends are a rarity this day and age - always honored to hear from one such as you. Lucky, long time no see - glad you enjoyed. Brian, your compliment means much to me. Thank you all for the kind words... Michael |
