Tales From My Imagination

NOW YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

You called me nothing
Your love you said I didn't deserve
You told me to do something
Instead of being such a nerd
You laughed at me, called me names
And said that I was disgusting and ugly
You kept playing mind games
And said no one would love me
But then I found a woman
Who accepted me for who I am
And you got angry and started foaming
And said I was less than a man
Now I'm a sellout, a disgrace to my race
It's funny, you never said that before
I finally found someone who looked at my face
And didn't make fun of me anymore
And now you scream: "They're taking our good men!"
What do you mean? You said I was a loser
Stop being dramatic and leave us alone then
I tried but you said no and became a verbal abuser
You turned me down and I found someone else
So what if she has a different color of skin?
Keep your silly comments and keep them to yourself
Because you know you'll never ever win
Don't tell me who to love or who I should be with
It's not my fault you're still stuck in the past
I'm walking away from you so just be done with it
The hate in your heart will turn you to ash.

VALKYRIE'S CALL

I have been cut down and the wound is deep
I'm so cold and tired, I want to sleep
It's getting dark as I gasp for breath
I'm not afraid as I face my death
I hear the Valkyrie's call

A beautiful woman approaches me
But it seems like no one else can see
She lifts me up and we soar into the sky
I'm headed to Valhalla way up high
I hear the Valkyrie's call

She leads me to the golden hall
I see my brothers, one and all
We drink and laugh about the good times
The world of Midgard seems far behind
I heard the Valkyrie's call

I made it here, now I'm home
My fighting skills and sword I'll hone
Riding on Sleipnir, Odin comes in
And watches us all until Ragnarök begins
Because I heard the Valkyrie's call.

SILENT KINGDOM

A beautiful place it was but it's now in ruins
The grandest buildings of all once stood here
Once the great fall happened, everything was confusing
But the Eye of Crenwell still sheds its tears
No one has ever lived here for thousands of years
But once this place was filled with laughter
It's empty and barren, haunted with fears
And everyone fled after such a disaster
The sunflower fields are barren except for the last one
In the empty royal garden it lives still
It stands tall as it faces the heat of the sun
It shines and grows because of its strong will
The last bit of life that has left this place
The only sounds are heard is the constant wind
But this silent hasn't seen a living face
Since the beginning of its untimely end
But it still sits, untouched and if ignored
As it slips through the sands of time
But in the Age of Steel, in the heat of war
Crenwell still stays out of sight, out of mind.

THE WATCHES

In this room that holds all time
Things happen that boggles the mind
Strap on a watch it takes you to a year
In another place in space, far away from here
Many worlds, people animals and places
People that are alien but have our faces
Strange worlds that have water and no land
Where ships sail endlessly through the watery expanse
Take off the watch and now you're back in your world
While you watched lives and other worlds unfurled.

THE CRIMSON GODDESS

She walks in the office, the whole world stops
Her red hair of fire a wonder to my eyes
A woman with a soul that forever burns hot
And she knows my name to my surprise
I stay quiet, focused on doing my work
But she's so beautiful I can't look away
And even though my boss can be a jerk
Even he can't get on my nerves this eventful day
I daydream once again and she's there with me
As we fight against evil in a fantasy land
I know in the real world this would never be
Because she's a Goddess and I'm a mortal man
I hope this day drags on like they usually do
That just means the longer I stay with this angel of light
I'll actually be sad when the work day is through
Because we'll part and say goodnight.

TIRED OF IT ALL

Tired of the hate, tired of the names
Tired of people who keep spreading the flames
Tired of people wanting me to choose sides
Tired of posts saying that someone should die
Tired of being brought in this stupid G+ war
Tired of people telling me who I should fight for
Tired of being blocked by someone who was once a friend
I'm tired of it all and I just want it to end

I JUST AM

I'm not happy or sad
I'm not calm or mad
I'm not up or down
I don't smile or frown
I don't cry or laugh
I'm not this or that
I'm not here or there
I don't or do care
I'm right in between
As weird as it seems
I only feel when I can
In other words, I just am
