I am an artist bound only for the poet's glory....But only achieve half of the success that my dreams aspire to find, And to what do the whispers tell me of this failure...To what end to they haunt my nightmares...my eternal dark dreams...


The birds halted their melodies,
the air was morbid on that sorrow some day,
the silence in itself was deafening,
the silence that only sleeping dogs portray.
the sun turned its back on my world,
the river slowed its pace,
the silence was dreadful and cold,
the silence that only sleeping dogs portray.
The hooded one came to claim his prize,
the cold but beneficial fate,
the silence of when the dogs are euthanized,
the silence that only sleeping dogs portray.

The silence of the dogs sleeping,

The silence only broken by my hearts weeping.
