Innocent eyes seductively melt my icy touch,
a creature of lush beauty stirs in loving grace,
of time for us on this Earth, there is not much,
a forlorn sigh escapes my lips longing to caress her face,
a final time before the winter arrives to claim her at Deathwatch...

"MERCIFUL SACRIFICE"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Friday July 21st, 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dreaded youth recounts a tale of woe,
one of peaceful sacrilege and discontent,
saddening the heart while my tears flow,
trespassing through the endless river as they went,
strangely, I can reminisce only of the morbid life I know...

"REFUGEE OF THE BARRENS"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Wednesday July 26th, 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lies led me to this mythical place,
Eyes always upon me etching fear into my face,
Sweet love of paradise beckons me to forsake the light,
and embrace her compassion forever, night upon night...

"PAINKILLER"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR in August 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Share with me a secret, inner smile,
forget all your worldly concerns and embrace my company,
to keep the sorrowful pain of loss at bay,
let us return to the forbidden garden and escape mortality with me, 

"ANGEL FLOWER"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR in September 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clouds of misery suffocate the heart into perpetual agony,
wishing to make sense of the lie that is life,
we are all wandering dead voids since the origin of humanity,
how can we blatantly ignore the world's chaotic strife?

"SKY OF VAMPIRES"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Sunday November 12th, 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flight of the blackbird toward southern clouds is a novel conception,
that takes his mind full of diminutive thoughts to an empirical direction,
soaring higher above the burdens in lost existence and achieving redemption,
this dark bird has always been exploited to find its means of compensation,

"PALADIN OF PROPHECY"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Wednesday November 15th, 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking into your eyes lies the future foretold,
love is our inner strength and hope is our weapon of gold,
until death do us part when together we succumb to growing old,
looking into my heart revealing the past and present unfold,

"CLERICS OF CUPID -- CHORUS" 
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Sunday November 26th, 1995 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time is the musical moonlight melody of lover's intimacy,
poetry in motion is the inspirational motivating ambition of heartache,
the desirable spark within thy flaxen walls holds me,
once more drowning in the lurid maelstrom of beauty skin deep,

"CAPTIVATING DELIGHT"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Wednesday November 29th, 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your tears are cold in the dark,
your body shivers next to mine,
your departure at the calling of the lark,
your love is my sign...

"YOURS TRULY" 
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Tuesday December 5th, 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

shared secret smiles betray benevolence,
shrouded love comforted in the presence of beauty's grace,
youthful innocent is the lover's shield,
dreadful might in the sword Enamor they wield...

"ENAMOR, THE ROSESWORD OF ONE"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR in December 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I came this close to losing you on the eve of anniversary,
fail not shall I in pleasing you,
yet on vigil we must be for there are dangers to be wary,
perhaps you'll even fall in love with me too...

"MARKED GUILE IN LOVE'S GARDEN"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Friday January 19th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love you,
My heart's affection true,
I love you too,
Always together, just us two...

"THROUGH THE MIRRORS OF MY IMAGE PAINTED IN YOUR EYES"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Saturday January 20th, 1995

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

enfolded in a blanket of night in periscope vision are my dreams crystallized,
portraying artisan perspective until the inspirational essence demised,
sojourner's adventure spanning a world called imagination,
peopled by bards bathed in their creative soul's expression...

"DEPTH OF THY POETICA ARCANA"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Tuesday January 23rd, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Je vais partir la ralit tragique ce soir avec aucune connaisance,
Tu m'as briser la coeur dans une manire si dangereusement profonde,
Tu tais ma soleil brillante  l'origine de ma monde,
sauf que maintenant, je n'ai rien en semblance d'importance ...

"MES YEUX TRISTES"
Composer par Blackbird / MARTYR le Samedi Fvrier 10, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to end the lasting chance of me to be,
surrounded by these pale dreams of misery,
I was left alone with my thoughts circling each other in perpetual agony,
She never came for me...
(alas, so I will never be free)

"PALE DREAMS OF MISERY"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Friday February 16th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

collective assembly for the seance in the stars,
converging together to put an end to the petty wars,
compensating for the harm caused by the self-inflicted sores,
sharing space in the portal through the universe's astral doors,
peace for we are all of the same earthly pores,

"SEANCE IN THE STARS"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Saturday February 24th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stare for as long as one may dare into the leaves of a four-leaf clover,
dance to the rhythm of chance until the masquerade is over,
praying that I wish to change never,
and let my fluid thoughts live forever,

"PENSIVE"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Monday March 4th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

the sigma of time spent pouring over mystery yonder,
of the beauty contained in the truth I have grown fonder,
the solution often lies in mesmerizing myself in wonder,
and ponder from the page precisely what tore me asunder,

"ECCLESIATIC MYSTERIUM"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Tuesday March 19th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

She has forsaken all to feel the limitless sensations of the incredible,
sour seduction for she has been caught in my serpentine thankless kiss,
yet the pleasure we both absorb from the corporeal is disbelief beyond denial,
she loves me for only in my world are the fallably weak acceptable,

"PERCEPTIVE NAVEL"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Wednesday March 20th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

sun too hot to bear,
the evergreen in blossom,
until dead leaf cold,

"SPRING RELAPSE"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Monday March 25th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

une sensation frais,
la porte ouverte prs,
les animaux sais ...

"PERFECTION FLUIDE DES ANGES"
Composer par Blackbird / MARTYR le Lundi Mars 25, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yearn bright in the waking blink of today,
for what is to be may be there no more,
the ending antiquities are the last of our tomorrow,
but we never had anything left to say (anyway) ...

"TOMORROW'S YESTERDAY"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Friday March 29th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

L'esprit en mfiance d'endurer jusqu'au fin du semaine,
quand nous confronterons nos nergies sexuelles: fluide comme doux laine,
l'heure du rendez-vous est presque dj  la prochaine,
pourquoi si longtemps nous devons attendre l'amour en peine?

"TEMPS CASSS"
Composer par Blackbird / MARTYR le Vendredi 29 Mars, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A rainbow paints across the sky a quilt of colors,
in the wind are rays in sight travelling briskly in sobriety,
the bright sun carries this brief miracle into the lore of our hearts,
to unify all shades of light toward the banner of humanity,

"PRELUDE TO PEACE"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Saturday April 13th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The elongated etchings burnt into the face forever buried,
embedded hour of gratitude awaits to be hurried,
the motion of the eyes encircling each other,
tangled in a web of telling hands that smother,

"WANTON MOMENTS"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Tuesday April 23rd, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

mellow is my mood whenever I have caught you in my sights,
my vision of you pierces through your self as the sun upon the Earth lights,
how it is so easy for me to burn my wrath inside of you,
and to easily mimick your blindness through and through,

"CHAMELEON EYES"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Friday May 10th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

salvaged tyranny by the deserters of the deep,
fears spreads rampant for in desolation do their breed creep,
but in absolute rule does the disease evil seep,
of rewards and benefits does our lord liege reep,

"EMPIRICAL TYRANNY"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Friday May 31st, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

bereaved of all before the sunset erupts,
its rays bring cause for wonder in this dreary sky,
we call life which actually isn't because it interupts,
our gaze in a universe of dreams to contemplate why,

(life simply is a yearning by and for which we cry)

"SUNSET GOODBYE"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Wednesday June 5th, 1996

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Youth dances in the meadows of mellow sobriety,
The rich benefits of a child passing into the arms of its lady,
Flames lick the horizon while the torch hand remains affixed steadily,
All the while stared at in dismay by the frightened child gripping its teddy,

"AWAITING THE MEADOW MISTRESS"
Composed by Blackbird / MARTYR on Saturday July 6th, 1996
