Out of the cove and onward To the open sea To a swathe of black Rolling endless and free ~ The full moon leads a vast legion of stars All burning in revolt Against the fading daylight ~ Pushing westward Below As they guide from above Sending circling shadows Sinking back to their abyss ~…

Will I grow aimless Cold and dreary In the silent world after When legends fall over Into coils of green? ~ When the ceiling gives way To a lane of stars A map To the heavenly spires of dawn ~ I’ve let my nightmares scatter And flood the empty pages Long before I’ve set out…

High above a forest clearing Are the heedful eyes Of my golden protector ~ A seething arrow Burning through the branches In a crimson storm, The broad wings of death In a tormentor’s soul ~ Too often I am turned to fleeting cinders Lost in the haze of an apocalypse ~ Carried along In the…
