1| Childhood Friend
I'm someone who he first met when he was a newborn
Knowing your spirit lives keeps me from being in mourn
He used to beat any video game in quick time
Understood mathematics with a brilliant mind
He was one of those friends who was always on my side
Didn't matter if everyone else left with the turn of the tide
In his teenage years, I found that he was into the same music as me
Hanging out with him made me go back to a youth which was free
There was tests that our bond had to endure
But his friendly personality erased any fear
He was a great person for an underground music conversation
Always knew more than what was broadcasted on a radio station
His sense of humor was one of a kind
A very rare being who was hard to find
I hate that he had to slowly watch his entire family die
He was so young, you want to ask the creator for a reply
I know he was a good person so he should be fine wherever he is
Anyone who wanted him dead needs to be on a permanent blacklist
If you were still around, I'd be showing you some cool new sounds
Your absence evokes a feeling in me like the lonely howl of a hound
You were a brother from another mother who was on the same page
Hard to lose those with similar interests who are around the same age
He may have worn black everyday but his inner light was bright
If you were feeling blind in the head, he could give your eyes sight
Your spirit is eternal, no longer in a temporary physical
We will reunite one day again and transcend the trivial
2| Hamilton
When I left you all behind it was never anything personal
I needed safety from oppression, a complete role reversal
I'm happy that I can not talk to you for a while& then reconnect easily
Shows me you're the real deal. not someone taking part in a fake reality
We share so many of the same rare interests
Speaking to you is never something I detest
When the world turned its back on me, most stayed true
For that level of loyalty & respect I eternally thank you
We can't pick our family but we do pick our friends
I hope the long lasting bond we created never ends
To the friends I no longer talk to, you're forever inside me
Wherever you are these days, I hope your spirit feels free
Everyone we meet in our lives is there to teach us something
So I am grateful for seeds you planted that are still growing
3| Dark Stream
I remember the happiness you embodied before your health deteriorated
So I know underneath the physical pain, heart & soul are still elevated
The Jekyl & Hyde nature of my Gemini father can be overbearing
But I know addiction & age are the real reason he seems uncaring
The system has compromised him but that kind of shit is nothing new
I know he's scared of fighting oppressors so he does what they say to do
I thank him for giving me shelter from the poverty of project housing
I just wish he would embody peace & erase the cycle of rabble-rousing
The way you treat your dogs shows you still have love in you
I wish you could find a woman that would make you feel new
You're still able to be a warm, kind individual
You just need to adjust your daily life ritual
If we meet on the Other-Side, hope you achieve a state of blissful peace
I wouldn't want you to leave us all like a soul that was only on a lease
4| Rezonator
The first time you ever saw me,
you naturally came right to me
A being of beautiful warmth who comforted in the coldest moments
Your amulet vibrated so loud that all health issues were silenced
A familiar whose presence blessed you with waves of good luck
A territorial angel destroying evil spirits so you're never stuck
The embrace of the summer snake was second to none
He loved people so much, they were his true number one
His little twin sister cried for months in desperation after he died
In his last days it was business as usual, didn't even try to hide
When the end was near, he barely made a sound & never lost his loyal trust
Broken knee caps & kidney failure never changed how strong his spirit was
My feline child may have now used up his nine lives
But I know wherever he is, his spirit remains alive
5| Mistyque
My angelic girl, you are the one who behaves the best
Hard for any being to be better at embodying the blessed
You are as comforting as sunlight
Your depths give my spirit flight
A sweetheart whose innocence is as sacred as a kitten
Only the cold-hearted or soulless would not be smitten
I have never known a more pure being in my lifetime
Rarely have I ever sensed any form of evil in your mind
A mystical breed of cat who easily silenced most dark magic
She brought light to life, never deserved to deal with the tragic
You see what we cannot see & know what we do not know
A psychic mystique at the core, a spirit which tends to glow
Female felines are always known as "princesses" to us
A majestic vibration capable of transcendental love
6| She Ascends
We were born on the same day, zodiac twins essentially
We stayed friends growing up, trust built up substantially
You were my best friend who lived across the street from me
Our bond grew with experiences & our synergy remained free
When nobody cared, you were one of the few who gave me your time
Like a sister bound to my heart & soul, just raw truth & never sublime
She ascends because she is real & does not know how to be fake
Always bound to do life the right way, barely ever making a mistake
We had a lot of the same interests because of the same spirit traits
Identical twin water dogs, just like a friend version of soulmates
You are a living guardian angel & I will honour our sacred friendship for life
I hope whoever is lucky enough to be with you treats you like the perfect wife
7| The Hounds Of The Haunted House
They tell you to stop barking when you're just pointing out intruders
Canines go into attack mode if they sense some evil ghostly eluders
For them, this house is something they are sworn to protect
Loyal gatekeepers who deserve nothing but endless respect
I love when the stagnation ends for you & outside freedom is yours
Hate seeing them imprisoned to an area without the ability to explore
I still miss my old hound girl for she was a well-behaved sweetheart
Her father remembers her fondly & preserves her memory in tattoo art
Our new baby cries when you leave her after getting close to her
Just like a full grown puppy dog who needs the love of a mother
I thank you for the waves of constant enthusiasm you show when I'm around you
You have contagious excitement which has the potential to make the old feel new
The hounds of the haunted house keep watch night and day
We're built upon a graveyard so I like them guarding it that way
8| Lifegiving Defender
My primary protector from the moment I was born
No errors made by me ever caused our bond to be torn
A Libra/Scorpio dragon mother always looking out for her dog son
You remove life's obstacles & protect me from harm more than anyone
Without your support system I probably would've ended up homeless
You are a guardian angel in a world which can make me feel worthless
A warmhearted 60s hippie is what I feel at the core of your being
Always exploring new adventures, wasting little time in memory
I thank you for being there for me more than anyone in my history
I wouldn't even exist without you, gave me the gift of human reality
You are a lifegiving defender
Couldn't ask for a better mother
9| Pict& Strathclyde Briton
Without your existence, I would not even be here
Your knowledge from experience helps us see clear
In your heart I am never forgotten or abandoned
An dependable helping hand in whatever climate
I know my grandfather is happy & in a good place
A secret society past wouldn't lay his soul to waste
Pict patriarch, you are loved & remembered strongly still
A kindhearted wildfire born inside an autumn winter chill
The vacation summers of my childhood are still fond memories
I wish those kind of golden days would never have left & ceased
Strathclyde Briton remains a steady source of loving family support
In all the years I've known you, there was nothing negative to report
The elderly have wisdom from making mistakes more than us
Many life lessons giving information that you can usually trust
10| Dragon Sister
The end of generation X gave me a dragon sister
We have our differences but we still love each other
She grew up within the same time frame era as me
So even though we're opposites, there's still relating
You have the persistent fighting spirit of a warrior
Achieving goals, never wasting time as a worrier
You inherited some bad genes from your father
But that didn't stop your ability to reach farther
Your atheist beliefs won't hold you back
Your soul is too strong to stay off track
I pray that you stay healthy, your children need you
I forgive you for bullying me when I was in my youth
It's obvious you were just a troubled kid back then
When we both got older, we just laugh at back then
We may seem to be opposites like vampires & werewolves
But we came from the same place so mutuality still grows
11| Michael
My friend, I knew you since the beginning
Now I'm faced with your premature ending
When the world seemed to be against me
Your warmth and loyalty kept me smiling
Now tears fill my eyes when I realize you're gone
To me, it's proof that sometimes the good die young
The physical pain you endured has forever ceased
The dimension you're in now is free from disease
Although you're no longer existent within the physical
In a dream you re-assured me you're now in the spiritual
I don't know if I've been good enough to meet you again
For my errors are numerous & the law seems draconian
But I will stay on track and bless all who need it
And maybe when my time comes we’ll meet in spirit
I thank you eternally for being like the brother I never had
And reminding me you're alive in spirit, no need to be sad
12| Eye Of Horus Wolf
It's been so long since I talked to you
But my memory of you still remains true
You were a rare dog from the same litter
Could turn a potential loser into a winner
I remember in those 90s school days growing up you were my true best friend
That's why no matter what happens, I am someone on which you can depend
You were a mixture of water & fire so people knew you were dangerous
Walking around school back in the day, nobody dared to fuck with us
You had the obscure musical tastes that resonated most with me
A psychonaut rivethead who remained perpetually exploratory
You opened my eyes to the unknown depths of the human experience
Through our wild experimentation with disassociatives & psychedelics
People are too scared to even speak your name sometimes
Like some big bad wolf they want hidden from their minds
I know you're a quality being & see past all the worthless chit chat
Because to me you're like a wolf who was raised in the same pack
13| Left Handed
When my biological father & mother separated
You were the male guardian with whom I related
Adding humor to life is your personality's gift
Anytime we had problems, the healing was swift
When I was younger, there was only petty minor issues
As I matured, our bond defeated any chaos that ensued
You're one of those people who notices my absence
The energy you bring to life builds peoples confidence
We always shared a mutual love for personal freedom
Residing in that higher level where there is no boredom
You've given a public platform to so many artists over the years
Hamilton owes you their gratitude for your blood, sweat & tears
Thank you for always trying to make my life better
I'm at the point now where I could call you a father
