Void King

by The Shadow

A world cold empty vain
void king deserves no name
Lost in ice forever cold
Bury now this decrepit soul


Cold as ice the wandering
Ever doth my heart to break
Will for me a maiden sing
Alas that siren no joy bring

No warmth in heart or hearth
No fire to light my joys
Am I broken still?
That my pen bleeds ill?

Nay I look to those I love
Even as I am numb
I am their void king, friend
In them my heart can mend

Alone

by The Shadow

I try to break the chains
Tight around me
Suffacting my will to write
Erasing my drive for poetry

Is there no romance?
Passionate emotions linger
Do I have nothing
My words a bee with no stinger

I cannot find my soul
Mired in my despair
For all the love in the world
I am alone and none care

Don’t Get It

by The Shadow

I don’t get it
I don’t know how to get through to you
And I don’t get why people act the way they do
Babe, I don’t get it
No I can’t figure people out at all
Like how do I make a simple phone call?
I don’t get it, I feel lost inside
Why do people say I hide
Ask if I’m angry or depressed
When I neither smiled nor frowned
Why do people put me down?
Like I don’t get why people lie
Or why I can’t be who I am inside
Why am I expected to be like you?
Babe what am I suppose to do?
I just don’t get it
Why I gotta look you in the eye
When I said it hurts a thousand times
Come on now don’t touch me please
I just want to be left as me
But I think you don’t get it
Yeah you don’t get that this is me
And while I’m trying hard you see
I shouldn’t have to change
Just because you feel I don’t fit in
You don’t get it, That I get!
You JUST don’t get it!

Harbour

by The Shadow

Look for me in the wind
Stare out into the vast abyss
The breeze is my friend
I’ll be the man that you miss

Like the raging storms before me
And that calm you feel when I’m gone
It all leaves you uneasy, lonely
I knew, we’d grow this way all along

But my heart still yearns and I offer
The safety of my habour to you
Come dock here when your heart is unsure
And I my beloved remain yours true.

Sailor Mars

by The Shadow

By Damien Knight

Every moment, every ache,
I feel so broken and alone.
Mars, your love left me dry.
I loved you for my own
I gave you everything.
Believed you to be my Aniya,
You led me carrot on string.
You sweet talked, were a liar.
I worried, fretted and gave care
My devotion was always true.
It was to you I did swear
And you that abandoned me.
I let go Sailor Mars
I have to move with my life
Aniya is out there waiting
I will find her, make her my wife
