It’s evening For the bleak heart of winter Floodwaters recede Before the flourish of green ~ So gently it falls In violet embers Trees lined against the western sky For its hushed Infernal demise ~ Sullen trees will branch higher Reclaiming their fallen Given new royal colors By a warm, tender breeze ~ As…

Left songless To be mauled by the heat For a few empty words Shackled somewhere within ~ They are sure to be stolen from me Like a desert’s blurred illusions Shaken loose from my skull By a coveting wind ~ I boil over in silence When the roaring mad gale Pillages my thoughts And…

Around the earth’s curve in silence As frozen husks The faint chatter of their masters Fades into static ~ Metal legions turn above How they clash and they burst asunder Into glittering storms of dust ~ Driven out into the heavens By the reveries of kings Now they’ve broken their gaze With…

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…
