Caught Between Past and Present

Caught between Past and Present

By Kaoss

One is done,
The other continues.
Neither touching
Yet bound by time.

No way back
Time greedily blocks that path.
Only forward
ever onward.

Inside, Outside
And underground.
Both appealing
All turned around.

Words are nothing
Actions don't suffice
Trapped by inaction
As though by ice.

Forever it spins
Yang to the Yin.
Desire for return,
Yet present flows on.

Any thing's possible
But does that make it right
Leaves one to ponder
Through the Dark night.

Nothing to say,
That has not been said.
Caught in the middle
Until Time is dead.

Apocalyptic Again

Apocalyptic Again

By Kaoss

Feeling Apocalyptic again
Everything and the World should end.
Cease to be and ultimately free
Remembering promises made and broken
Whispered word and thise unspoken
Washed away like tears in the rain
All let go with everything unmade.

To see destruction rampant.
As the wasted years melt away,
Misspent time burning to nothing.
Feeling the joy as everything dies.
Fading away as all things do,
slipping into the void
All blissful and pristine.

Feeling sadly once again
Everything is normal, there is no end
Hustle and bustle, rule the day
Everything is here, not gone away.
Piled up high,like trash in a dump
Soaring ever higher into the sky
Making one ponder taking the Jump!

Eyes

Eyes

By Kaoss

Look not deep into the eyes
Of those that have truly died
For you may be drawn down inside
Just steps away from oblivion

Look not long into the eye
Of those quite long gone.
For you may find nowhere to hide
And no place in the sun.

Look not quick into the eyes
Of the feral ones hidden inside.
For you may find you'd rather spied
Of the ones long gone or truly died.

Body's Betrayal

Body's Betrayal

  By Kaoss



Feeling as if a victim drowning
Ever weary of the universe and it's clowning
Body at war with the self
Hating, debating causing non functional health.

Left is right and down is up.
Even Alice didn't have this tough
Always onward is the cry
Sometimes hard when dead inside

Forever searching for the spark
To end the Sanity and turn on the Dark.
In order to finish the Great Work
Or at least, our part not to shirk

The feeble witness with uncertainty
As they are passed by for eternity
Although beware for one day
Tis they who'll rise and on top stay

Woe be to they who kiss the light
For darkness soon will fill their plight
leaving them stuck, dashed of hopes
Dreams unraveled, gone up in smoke.

Trapped in a cage of flesh decaying
Body not right, forever betraying
Until that fine and faithful day
The soul decides to fly away.

The Dark, the Mad

The Dark, the Mad

     By Kaoss

May the godz grow weary of my complaining

And with little or no explaining

Strike me down and end all this!

Oh wait, I work for the opposition

In this startling exhibition

And power over me they do not have.

So hell continues as long as I last.

Immortality craved by those with out

Once received they scream and shout.

End this end this it's too much

Bet they wish their mouths they'd shut

Wishing for what you should not have

Often leads to your soul being grabbed

By one such as I, the Dark, the Mad!

Fear the night, for those that cannot see.

Tis in that time you may see me.

Reaching clawing for the prize

Your soul, your heart, your very mind.

A delicious snack to slake the hunger

The anticipation of dragging you under

Hear your screams rolling like thunder.

May the godz grow weary of all the complaining

And with little or no explaining

Disappear from all plain sight

Taking with them the sunlight

Making it our time to roam and plunder

Happily catching and dragging you under

Oh what a time that will be.

The Voice

The Voice
By Kaoss

Trivialities distract
Possibilities beckon
Responsibilities deepen
Wonder never ceases.

Caught between reality
And the deep blue sea
Swimming not an option
Cannot escape destiny!

What's to come is uncertainty
Change is inevitable
Acceptance unquestionable
Do or die the only way.

The deeper one goes
Into the rabbit hole
The more one will truly understand
Nothing is as seems is in command.

Life is what you make it!
It does not happen
You must take it.
All is there, possible, don't hesitate.

Good and Bad
Is a state of mind
Always changeable
Except to the mentally blind.

Do what thou wilt
Is the word of law
As above, so below
Will free you from All!

Listen or not
That is the choice
Hearken or hurry
Never ignore the Voice!

Hidden deep inside
Where all wisdom resides
The Voice does whisper
It your choice to comply.

Angels won't save you
And Devils don't tempt
It's always your choice
If the Voice you accept!

The Soldier

The Soldier
By Kaoss

Mind decaying
Body betraying
Could this finally be the end?
Or is it just a continuing
comsic joke
Being played out on one who has had quite enough!

Of course it is!!
Well laugh on
For the fight will continue
Throw what you will
The stand will go on
Nothing can break the resolve that has risen!

Days turn to months
Years roll on.
Fighting a battle
The outcome enevitable.
Resolute and determined
The soldier undaunted
Never once a thought to surrender!
