Sometimes you write for a spirit that enters your mind in the power of innocence.

Ghostly shadows of deception
Bloodied hands washed clean
The fear of innocence
Was destroyed by ignorance
Unknown terror claimed a hero
As the hero remembers his shame
Back room filled tears cast shadows
Creating mists of memories
That enters other minds in mystery
What happened behind closed doors
In the dungeon of the mind
Where innocence was betrayed
As it departed in spirit
In deep sleep the visions appear
To repeat the name in a misspelled haze
The survivor keep awaiting his fate
From the words that will now not stop
For the drums are now rolling
In the mind of one
Ready to reappear in the birth of print
What names are there hidden
In the memory of time
The chilly hand is now reaching
In the howl of remembrance
As the winds pick up speed
To enter your soul
And sentence you
In the nightmare of living
In a boarded up room
That does not forget
The loss of one spirit
Whose innocence is now seeking
Its judgment day
By letting words do the harm
That won’t go away
