Slow motion. I can see that 9mm of lead traveling towards my face in slow motion. I know, that I should duck, or step aside, to let it travel past me, but I can't. As if I'm frozen. As if my body is caught in the same slow motion as that bullet coming my way. Only my brain seems to work at normal speed, the rest is slowed down, like the footage from a high speed camera. Am I supposed to see my life flashing by in my mind...

The slate grey clouds are running 'cross the skyWhile hail and rain bombard the ground belowAnd lightning bolts illuminate the showAs howling winds attempt to make me fly The cattle taking refuge where they canWild creatures hide in shelter, yet they knowThat naught is safe from angry gusts that blowMore forceful than the force controled by man Its unleashed fury forcing me to dealWith all the fear these powers do arouse...

He woke up ecstatic, he felt so wonderful! He wasn't going to have that same old boring Christmas dinner with his parents. No, he was going to buy HER, that beauty he brought home, a fancy dinner. Remembering last night, he turned around, seeking her eyes, next to him, on the pillow. An empty pillow! What the..! Caught by a sudden chill, he looked in the bathroom, in his tiny kitchen. SHE was gone. In his pockets he searc...

The sky is bright'ning as the night retreatsThe meadows and the fields still hide in mistThe dewy grass is waiting to be kissedBy sun's first ray that orange heaven bleeds The sunlight strengthens until it defeatsThe darkness with its never yielding fistReveals the things my eyes thusfar had missedAnd creating all the shades its palette needs Its painting a new day in pastel blueAdds color to it with each line that's draw...

It is twisting, winding, grinding, utter chaos rules my brainAll those thoughts run through eachother, they are driving me insaneWill she, won't she, love me, hate me, keep me, leave me, run or stayHoping, fearing, quiet, rearing, close, so close, but far awayHow I hate this cyberjungle, where you think you have, but don'tWhere true love, when it's your ruler, is so easily dethronedOh, I wish I had that button, on my hear...

When I was growing up, Christmas used to be a magical time to me. I was raised a catholic and we went to church every Sunday. Christmas then however, was more than just religious. It was a true family celebration, and on Christmas day, our family of five, my parents, brother, sister and me, always expanded. My aunt who wasn't married would be there, and usually some colleague of my father, that did not have anyone to cele...

Hello my friend, you're getting oldYour hair is turning greyYou still don't show that in your strideIn how you face the dayYou came to us, just skin and bonesA shaking bag of fearYou cowered down and hid away If anyone came nearYour body marked with cigaret burnsSo faster you would startAnd win the race to make them richBut you never won their heartAnd when you slowed, could not competeTo win and make the dayThey simply b...

There's a pit that I fell intoI'm still falling, it's so deepAnd I cannot stop this tumblingCause the walls are smooth and steep It has made me lose my visionOnly one thing I see clearIt was Her that made me stumbleshe made all else disappear She keeps pulling ever strongerIt's a force too fierce to fightIt's persistent, not relentingAlways pulling, day and night And that pit is getting warmerEver hotter while I fallThere...

As the morning slowly brightens I sit and contemplate the silence And the darkness that surrounds me As a blanket, snug and tight Knowing I must let the day come Though reluctant, so I hold on For as long as I am able To the remnants of the night.
