Fall from on high
By AJ O’Brien.
A thousand blazing suns
from galaxies unknown
erupted from his eyes
and falling toward emptiness
he dreams forever of his demise.
So the keeper of sorrows
held sadness at bay
as he collected the tears
of the lost and lonely,
on that terrible day.
For an Angel of God
a crimson liquid shadow
has fallen from grace,
and banished from above
to reside beneath our mortal race.
Above and beyond
By AJ O’Brien.
Struggling for light
my mind high and dry
seeking only solitude
beneath a crowded sky.
Madness, so enticing,
kneeling before my lover’s grave
forgive me Lord
for her soul I could not save.
Darkness, a lonely companion
my heart midnight black,
I can no longer abide
the thought of looking back.
I pierce my heart
I was so so wrong,
falling forever
beneath her empty song.
It’s hot down here
By AJ O’Brien.
Captured by death
came at me from behind
the devil lay in wait,
stole my soul.
Man, am I in a bind.
Whispered a rancid demon,
“Hear the Master’s word.
You shall be set aflame
and your pleas for death
will forever go unheard.”
“You are kidding me
I’ve been as good as I can.
What did I do wrong?
I don’t belong down here.
Go get the main man.”
“You will burn for eternity
your soul be dammed,
the stench of your corruption
shall bring joy
to this unholy land.”
“You’re not listening to me, are you?”
Monkey on her back
By AJ O’Brien.
Hope, a burning candle
In search of something
within a graying town,
came upon a man of old
dressed in golden brown.
Spike enters the moment
given a free trip
to no man’s land.
She had found hunger,
became one of the damned.
Within her veins
the killer whispered
of death and decay,
so hard she tried to stay alive
but could not pull away.
