Plague Rose

This is a story of the day of the dead
The day they rose from their boxed-up beds
There was fire and smoke
And blood and corpses
...

Basketball, basketball
Life is just like basketball
Shoot a million times
You won't get ‘em all
...

My home is in my head
It doesn't matter
Where I am
My friends are in my heart
...

See a sight
of color and flight
Beauty and elegance
is the mystical butterfly
...

We are all seashells
On the shore of life
The tide called death
Will pull us away
...

Seven lonely daffodils
Waiting to die
On this common
Winter morning
...

While others walk,
I will run.
While others hide
on a rainy day,
...

I don’t believe in vampires
But I’m scared of them anyway
I have reason to believe that zombies exist
And I fear them just the same
...

These are the feelings
I felt were brewing in
Watching a wondrous movie
Off from the start
...

Nothing really bothers me
Because somehow I know
That everything will be okay
In the end
...

As I walk down this old street
Eyesight fading
Feet trudging on behind me
I find that in my search for sleep
...

The graveyard will always be haunted
By specters and memories
That forever stand in my way
Priests and exorcists we call the undaunted
...

Tigerlily, Tigerlily
My little kitty
Of misty gray
Tigerlily, Tigerlily
...

A flash of a dream
Passed before my eyes
As if myself is not what it seems
I live on as eternity dies
...

1,2,3,4;
What's this I hear?
An echo,
Of a life before?
...

Catch me in the night
As the ivory fortress
That guards my heart
Tumbles down
...

I sit here alone
Looking out at the shore
I throw another stone
What am I waiting for?
...

I’m bored, I’m bored
So very, very bored
There’s nothing to do
O Lord, O Lord
...

A Snowy Owl in a Dark Wood
A Shining Light that bounces off the Moon
An Angelic Being disguised
Looking down from the Towering trees
...

Time is dying
I am aware
You think I'm crazy
You're obliged to stare
...
