Who will survive in this hell of our own design? Unshaken, unscathed In a forefather’s dream ~ The curses walled within us rise Into a scalding war cry As sirens scream and harmonize Through the streets’ empty sighs ~ A nation bleeds away Blotting out the white stars Burying the way home From this wilderness…

Cut down to a field of stumps I breathe ashen songs Uprooted, Sailing on a mortal wind ~ Violence pangs within Beyond the night’s golden pyres Still the hellfire falls From a downcast smile ~ And still I tremble haunted By an exodus of shadows Their prey not far From their thunderous strides ~…

Soaring We are fated to collide Turning over and under Given back to our stars ~ Carving up the night sky, Wordless and spare, Battered and bruised By our ballads of death ~ No one drifts unscathed From this fatal waltz Spinning out in a daze Into aimless arrows Made…

Worn down Before the blast of first light Fills the room with the fires I’ve sewn in the dusk ~ The worlds trills are too faint Within the primal cries Falling from clouded dreams All throughout my lost form Still staggering through the smoke ~ Springs colors are dulled As I slide through the pulse…

Floating through a quiet space Beyond the rumbling salvos Perched high in the mountains Far away and at ease ~ Forgotten skylines glow And roar infernal, The enclosing ring Of grieving embers ~ Wailing up the steep walls Of this parcel of Eden Are the hollow hearts of mothers Who roam from their beloveds ~…

Deflated in the aftermath Of my selfish struggle This war scorches on Raising plumes of denial ~ For the kind eyes of strangers The stray remarks of travelers, The graze of their affections Feed an ever burning sorrow ~ I hold on to every praise Through the onslaught of memory When the outer world is…

You can read the review here: https://bit.ly/3vppSLB if you wish. I cannot express how appreciative I am enough. The book is free of charge and…

Love is on an upswing Taking off on a soft April breeze Gliding high Featherlight As the jealous ground seethes ~ A hero’s broad arc glimmers So fearlessly ablaze Prison walls are razed to dust By the joyous screams of praise ~ The song fades with the dusk As sparks rain in the dark…
