The Long Awaited Darkness










                                   It creeps around the edges of our consciousness
                                   It vies for our attention and jostles our mind
                                   They have waited for centuries for it to rise
                                   And slowly it surrounds us.
                                   It suffocates our peace and stirs up strife
                                   It crushes our joy and raises despair
                                   They want to hide in its safety
                                   Let its welcoming arms envelope them
                                   So they can do their ill deeds in relativity.
                                  Who can say what is what in the darkness?
                                  Who can say I am right and you are wrong?
                                  Who can discern shadow from shadow?
                                  Only light will show  what is true and what is not.
                                 
                                  Tiny white flames dot the ebony landscape with their burning
                                   Shining on them and their deeds
                                   They surround the flames and smother some
                                    But they can  never snuff them all.
                                 
                                   Though the  flames grow smaller in number they never dim
                                   They think they won but they can't see
                                   The rising white tide under the surface so
                                   They collect their ill fated works
                                   And smile in the long awaited darkness.

Entropy



                           We splash in a placid pool blue and shining, our brothers and sisters with us
                            The Human Race in one ocean playing, others struggling to float
                             We splash and play for countless moments...
                            A darkness ebbs from the center and a hole opens up. 
                            The center throbs and begins to funnel pulling in some of our brothers. 
                             Crying out, we try to save them but it is useless
                             They are sucked in never to be found.
                             It spirals downward and pulls us in like a current
                             Dragging us  clawing and screaming
                            We pull and try to fight it but there's nothing we can do. 
                            We hope to reach the bottom tilting and sloshing but there is only emptiness
                            The roar and strain is almost to much to bear, but what else can we do?
                            We pull on our brothers and sisters trying to get away but we are all caught in this
                            Downward spiral
                            It is always hungry and gets hungrier still till there is nothing left but It.
                            Still plummeting down and around, we cry for someone to help us.
                            The only help for this tragedy will come at the end.
                             When a trumpets sounds declaring the  beginning of the end
                             The end of the war that's been waging since the dawn of time.
                              Then we who have survived will surface  and float in a serene sea 
                              And then nothing will ever drag us down.

Nataraja Reprise

                 




                                  
                                              Dance over these ashes in my soul
                                             The hopes and dreams that have died
                                             My passion and desires that swirl like flames
                                            Till they pass away like smoke
                                            Make new dreams grow in your footprints
                                           Let rain fall from your upraised arms
                                          Spark passion in my soul to the tune of your heartbeat
                                          Till it consumes me and drives the darkness away.


Weeping Angels




                      
                                   Regret washes over me
                                   I can never get free
                                   Things said
                                   Things unsaid
                                   Chase me
                                   Haunt me
                                   Everywhere I turn I see them
                                   Hiding their faces
                                  Or screaming in fury
                                  I am stuck in the past
                                 There’s no escape
                                 From my predatory thoughts
                                They taunt me
                                Surround me
                               No way out
                              For a second they freeze
                             But when I turn they are closer
                            Stalking me waiting for me to slip
                           To blink again.

Time Lords (Royals Parody)





                                           I'd never been out of the flesh
                                           I cut my teeth on sonic frequencies
                                           And I'm not proud I must confess
                                           Of my regenerating abilities.
                                           But everybody's like gold fleet, cybermen mutations
                                           Daleks yell exterminate! Run from the shadows
                                           We don't care we have a guy with fluffy hair.
                                           But everybody's like Silence, weeping angels freaky
                                           Quantum locks, don't blink, Run away basically
                                           Sonic screwdriver's getting tweaky
                                           But we don't care. He'll solve it when we get there.
                                           He's our Time Lord (Time Lord)
                                           Run when he gets scared
                                           That kinda flux just ain't for us
                                           We crave a different kind of fuss
                                            Let us fix your time warp (time warp)
                                            And save the galaxies.
                                            And baby, we'll pull, we'll pull
                                            The fabric back on sanity.

Nataraja

                          



                                            Sparks fly from your hands as you twirl
                                            Flames flash from your eyes
                                            Every twist and turn sends fire spiraling higher into the heavens
                                            As  you dance wrapped in smoke
                                             But you are not dark.
                                            Passion radiates from you with every  flawless step
                                            You move to rhythm of your beating heart
                                            While I stand numb and downcast.
                                            Darkness envelopes me like a shroud
                                            I cannot the hear the rhythm of your dance
                                            With fear and doubt whispering in my ears
                                             Clinging to me like besotted lovers.
                                             I want the sparks to fly
                                             I want to melt away my fear
                                             Sear my doubt
                                             Reignite the passion that barely smolders inside. 
                                             Teach my stumbling feet the steps they once knew
                                             Take my arms wrapped around me and lift them up
                                              Let me hear the rhythm of your heart so I can dance again.

Coming soon...



                                Hiking through the woods wasn't supposed to pit him against the forest...
                                A simple game shouldn't have set him against his sister...
                                Twisting wires shouldn't have set him against his very self...
                                Hayden's dream come true wasn't supposed to turn into chaos...
                                But whats written in blood can't be undone.
                                He'll have to play well...
                                For in the GameHouse, he'll only have one.
