Sven Rhoads Poems

Our eyes met when we looked beyond the metal cage
A glance of uncertainty and of unknowing fear
Sitting side by side a bond was forged on life's stage
Injected into my heart you were one I held so dear
...

Behind the blue that looks out into the universe
Seeking the sanctuary of the soul
No more trying to make the best out of the worst
Only needing to take back control
...

I've felt the beating return
The single spark to let it all burn
You stand beside me, devotion in your eyes
And deep inside me I could never deny
...

Eyes open before the dark stream
How it all feels like a familiar dream
The journey is coming to a close
A brand new place I swear I know
...

This fight that I must come to win
Against the hands of gravity
The waves are growing taller
As the seas begin to rise
...

With no love from the rat race we're all in
I'll take my chances going it alone
I am more beast than man, they call me sin
But you cant speak for my choice off the road
...

A shift in the wind has dropped me to this place
Still standing in the shadow of a failed design
No comfort will change the warriors face
For he has only one thing on his mind
...

Across the universe they've made out of wires
No pulse in the heart carved from stone
Feeding the dead with venomous propaganda
Breaking down the bonds between you and I
...

Oceans rise to clear the board of pawns
Blinded by the greed, the power, the grace of god
When the shores are eaten by the waves
We'll all see the future sinking in the bogs
...

Tales of old have been carrying rocks
'Thats how it goes', it completely sucks
Too many excuses to remain in sloth
Burning futures, charred up and lost
...
