No Title

Cobalt sky, blue mixed grey
Sample of sorrow, heaven’s grief
Lend me thy ears; hear me speak
To you my grief, gifted

What is it to say
Words, empty words
Shallow, so shallow
Can not drown in this

I could sing for you
A virtuoso of pain
Shrill trill of a flute
Vibrato, my heart

Wrath upon strings, teach them
To scream and sing, to pull
On the bindings of soul
The workings of heart

Blissful inferno, smoke begets
Truth and truth, further forever
Burn away the memories
Roast to crimson cinders

Why then, this hapless sinner
Chosen crowned among peers
What hand dealt his fate
His cards, emptiest of all

So I struggle, complete
Unable to see
Dark clouds roll in
Raindrop whispers

Reached out, pale hands
Comforting, soft, warm
Never to feel them
Simple joys doth die


Rippling madness dry
Crackle, cackle, of bone
I cannot forget you
I will not forget you

Left me to moan
Eyes wide, dark
Dreams haunting
Selfish, selfish

Perhaps, as shadow rolls
Dreamy spirals assume
I shall join you, flying
On cinder wings

Bold, that you would
Step up, run down
Eyes aflame, cold
To the touch

Brilliant sky, icy gem
Spill, sing, serve
Our token grief
Our open eyes

In sorrow, grief
Dream eternal

In sorrow, grief
Let rain pour
