A Lighthouse

This is an analogy I suppose. I'm not sure who the "You" is. As likely as not he's as much me as the Me is. But I suppose every two eyes that ever read this will have their own storm and their own lighthouse, so it is truly up to you.

Your winds wear at my whitewashed walls
Your sands ever land where your spitting rain falls
Your lightning jumps from my roof to the sky
Your clouds ever darken your days to your nights

My scoured surface stands to surmount your every stirring
My door ever shored and the wind gauge ever whirring
My beacon pierces the so-called impenetrable dark
My lighthouse bears your onslaught, ever shining, ever stark.

BRAVE

Just a little poem that popped into my head. Abandon me in a cave, Throw me to the flames, I will be brave, I will walk away unscathed.

Beat

In the fires of defeat we are reborn again, Like a meditational, painful, kind of Zen. We lost this battle but not the war, But on the side of victory you can't see what I saw.

Rain over Me

Standing in a tidal wave of madness. I'm the one rising from the ashes. Cue the violins we're going down. Though I have this odd feeling that I'll be safe and sound. Destruction, bad construction.

I entered the cage meant for an animal, Carved my sentence with a nail on the wall, Lived by a sea, played roulette, Dined with Devil-knows-who in a tux.

A Magician Without Magic

A magician without magic, Is a man without a soul. A sorcerer without spells, Is a dreamer without a goal. A photo frame that's empty, Is a one-winged bird.
