Hello, friends. My apologies for not posting in about a month. Throughout December, I was busy putting together yet another collection of poetry. It is titled ‘The Wind Through the Trees at Night’ and it’s available for free on the website linked in the image below. Many of the poems within it are very personal…

In his piercing black stare Cold and quiet My own sacred fires Die in vain In a bitter storm of vice ~ He buries All his empty nights of crawling In the heart of his envy Among the old bones of kin ~ Still he teams with life Somewhere underneath Awaiting A hero’s…

Down river, Friends drift with hollow hearts For the open sea As the months roll forward Shedding glimmers of life ~ While I’m stalled in the rapids Left frozen in horror By the love bled away for the surging horizon ~ When I’ve finally collapsed To the river’s cold wrath I’ll rejoin their mad laughter…

Morning falls like a grey woolen blanket Smothering the city, Never reeling away To let the lights die out ~ Stranded in the heart of autumn On our isles of comfort Shadows race into the frayed daybreak Calling backwards ~ Frozen to fear Still I will not budge For the laughter of kin …

Far from whole Taken by ruination Crawling, through a shroud of wasted weeks ~ Light drains Love wavers In the colorless mornings Spare and cold ~ An old voice dives Drowning, in the coils of a bleak hereafter Weighed down with oaths sworn Leather-bound and buried ~ Far from whole Before the faint…

Burning on the brink of annihilation Of the blast Of calamity Of sweet savagery ~ As the angels of denial Sing tolls of affection To delude our hot blood Surging forward to war ~ Pushed and prodded by our gods Over mountainous years The fight has only begun In our pain-stricken eyes ~ Our fatal…

Swallowed by senseless pain A melody erupts Into swirling black notes Like swarms of bats ~ Time is eaten alive in their rush For the full moon’s yellowish glare Through the spare autumn trees ~ The lonely caverns bleed black Into an ocean of shadows Their endless hymn is unknown So far from home ~…

On the other side of madness Each darkened corner drags you under Filled with secret burdens ~ Falling into a nightmare’s spiral The light of your newfound realm Narrows to a gleaming speck ~ On the other side of sorrow Each darkened crevice Screams out enraged At what’s left undone ~ Mourning For all…
-
Flat-screens chatter through the empty halls All their words fall dead Beneath the afternoon’s weary sigh ~ No one speaks Nothing rises from the selfish ether And true cries of affection Burrow deeper into silence ~ Outside of ourselves The rolling plains grow cold Under withering groves Shedding flecks of gold ~ Something stirs within…
