Time Without Being

Dense forests, dark nights 
Willows weeping louder than before 
Time is endless and exhausting 

Each day a thousand dreams die 
Each day lives broken 
In continued discomfort 

False hope scathes and deserts a once determined mind 
A soul burning upon a pyre of those forgotten 
Encased and imprisoned by a thinning shell 
Alone glaring at a singular flame 

Demons mocking eternity 
Angels mocking existence 
Light left darkness ashamed 
Darkness overshadowed light triumphant 

No rest for the sovereign 
No rest for the wicked 
Entitled to raise one more glass 
Before the curtains close.

Vague Light

The threat of death is abated
Its tentacles less frightening
Your murder is passive
And your hate tranquil 

Beneath wounds of flowers and silk
You cry a cry of neediness
The sun doesn't burn
The moon doesn't glow
Your sickness is a lie
And your bones are made of clay  

Death is a bird singing
Life a black bird cackling
Loneliness is light
Being together;
Unending darkness

Color Me Deep Black

Black moon ascends 
The night recoiled 
To all that is hidden 

Heavy fog unfolds 
Sorrow deepens 

Weight of light 
Across the riverbank 
Swallows nestled 
Crows reborn 

Dry wells spell 
A bottomless eternity 
The fall from high
Untamed thrusts 

A stranger's grip 
Held imprisoned 
Drops of red 
Drain the thighs 

Knives plunge 
Veins erupt 
A mundane end 
Conflict a burden unmatched.

Black Crescent Mountain Hymns

Wrapped under the stars 

Wrapped in bars 

Sour desolation 

Migrate southward 

Colorful blood 

Visions bleak 

Self hate, self love 

Build perfection; 

Weekend fantasies 

Uncompromised, 

The setting sun 

Hums a dry whisper 

Red world swirled in black, 

Echoing death 

The still chaotic 

Breathes and sighs 

Endless swamp regurgitates 

Fallen stars 

Mind lost, 

Space void 

Contradicting sides 

Hurl a wind 

In a wrong turn

It's mine to have and to burn
