The room lies desolate
Voices crawling in my ears
As blood drips
Falling lightly upon the windowpane

Darkness shrouds the streams
As night shatters
Shards glistening in the shade
Falling lightly upon the floor

A rank odor creeps silently
Yellowing the curtains
Toes blackened with ash
Dragging across the floor

A marble angel lies crying
Head bent in sorrowful recollection
Wings torn asunder
Broken in its fetal state

Streams of melting paint
Streaks of color in a black sky
Dripping
Coating the dresser in blue

The sky is falling
Clouds swirl in an endless dance
A tango with the gods
Papers fluttering in a ghostly wind

The soft furs of an ancient king
Lie tattered
Neglected in the corner
Holes from burns long forgotten

I close my eyes to shut out the dreams
Trying to blot out the screams
Tears cloud a shaken mind
Fractured in still life

A photograph fallen in the dusty corner
Aged by passing time
Memories fading softly
Stained by sunlight

Teeth chatter in the bitter cold
As my skin is aflame
Pen strokes falling short
Stopping

A vibration
Not an earthquake
But a light in the eternal grasp
Vision fading fast

Softly lit text beside my face
“Goodbye”
A sweet voice fades
A voice?

No, a hallucination
A product of insomnia
Walls above me are empty
Now devoid of color and life

The white door with brown border crumbles
Leaving us alone
Searching in the dark
Us? Alone?

Alone?
I laugh
My voice echoes in the stillness
The deep recesses of my mind

The labyrinth of space
Expanding infinitely
Yet untouchable
Close, yet out of reach

“The end is near”
I pray
A softly whispered wish
Dying in the abysmal state of I

I am
Lost in the room
Yet finding myself again
And then… 

Eighteen years my friend
Life on earth
Divine
Beauty found
And lost
Light falls upon the dark
Illuminates the mind
Expands the soul
Opens the heart
Love
I laugh
What joy in ignorance
I cry
In pains suffered
Afflictions
I hope
I dream
I see the path before
The frosty sea
Setting sail
The rotten deck below
I fly
Gliding upon the breeze
I fall
Silently whispering
Words
Sweet nothings
Entranced
I rest
Sleeping away the hours
Yet awake
I lie
Tossed in the sorrowed storm
I wait
Wait for the hallowed day
I remember
His death
My life
All that has
All the was
I plan
All that will
Tomorrow.

I sit here again
Staring out upon the landscape
My cat lies dormant upon the sofa
Drinking in filtered rays

Light shines its mellow gaze
Through silk curtains
I gaze
I see

I see the trees
Lit up by sorrowed sky
I feel the wind
Flowing through the flaws

My window is
Its life flows like a waterfall
Flowing downward
Into infinity

Disaster looms in the horizon
Cars pass the open way
Caught in mundane
Crossing silently

I watch
Waiting as the time falls
Shorter
Aye the rain

Rain mocks my eternal plea
Drought that mocks my thirst
All falling short of my sight
All finding solitude in reason

Alone

Mid day
The rain falls gently outside
Trees lit by soft light
Pierced by cloud cover stand in the distance.

I sit here
Laptop warms my charcoal pants
Back lit screen shines upon the keys
A single ant scurries across my hand

Rue
My feline companion crosses gently
Landing upon the couch
My seat disturbed

Now
He lies upon the top
Gazing down at the screen
Watching them

Waiting
Noting how my fingers strike the keys
Scolding my lack of form
Twitching his tail in ecstasy

Looking up
I meet his eyes
He slowly turns away
A gentle purr as he departs

I sit alone now
Watching the rain
Skeletal trees through curtain
Drip sorrows upon the lawn

Crystal nothings crack
Shattering their hopeless lives
Breaking silent promises
A lone chair in the distance

White… Black
Pink
Flowers blooming overhead
Caught in a gentle mist

An empty road
Lies beyond the nothing forest
Lost in a time of its own
A time to be forgotten

Moving swiftly
Past the open door
Upon the lawn I dance
Waltzing alone

One two three
I chant in elvish tongue
As dewdrops grace my lips
Gentle breeze upon the leaves

Joining in my cry
My eyes closed to blinding rays
As clouds do part away
I leave behind

That faithful song.

The stars shine sweetly in the air
Clouds pass in ethereal silence
Gray streaks upon a black canvas
Night hangs delicately in the air
A thread of peace descends
Stillness
The air is dead
Wind absent from heart and mind.
Grass strikes an awkward pose
Lit by shallow graves
Moonlight soft and silver
Striding across the broken branches
Littering the ground they lie
Comatose
Lost in a eternal dream
Awaking only to the solemn insanity
Nothingness
Caught in a round
Chasing
The darkened clouds away
Waiting
For you.

My love
I know thy path has stung
The rocks that break thy feet
Spill out upon the trail

Blood drips upon the aching road
Marking a sign of sorrow
Pain, blinding pain
Trips the weary soul

My love I catch thee fallen
My hands will ever grasp
Clinging to thy reaching hand
Waiting

Ever waiting
To catch you as you fall.

The night passes in recollection of fate
The dawn has risen
Light has descended upon the land
Forgotten are the aching hearts

Forgotten are the darkened words
Spiraling into the abyss
They fade
Last in the ever changing world

Tomorrow
I wait again to lose
That which drags my soul
That which tears my life

Tears dry in noon day sun
Scars fade in the passing years
All forgotten
All lost

Drifting in the winds of time
Slumbering evermore
Never again
To wake

I lie here amongst the lilies
Sunlight baths the sorrowed tree
Willowed branch doth brush the mind

Resting in the shade
That hallowed darkness
Staring into the sky

Pondering here
Finding myself floating softly
Carried upon fallen petals

Arose into the sky
Clouds brush past the silent air
Flowing swiftly by daylight

Sunlight falls gently
Dying behind majestic mountain
Night descends

Final rest
Serene peace from chaos
Moonlight valley below

The wind of a thousand knives
Breaking silent sleep
A chill shatters

Shatters the softened mind
Awoken in pain
Misery doth reside

Misery, that lonely foe
Crowds the quiet eve
Finds those lacking

Lacking in the basic light
The light that breaks
Breaks the silent dark

The silent dark that falls
When she is away…

My passion burns for you
Like toast
Its crisp blackness holds our secret
It crumbles
As I before your feet
My love
Branded by that lonesome touch
I fall
Lost in bitter time
I die
Alone, so very alone
Yet so alive
You are
The orange juice by my side
That refreshing glass
I wake to
My day is naught
Without you.

Always…
Worthless
Full of eternity
Lacking in trust
Phrases fall from open lips
Uttered in silent recollection
The night is long
How I cry for its end
Daybreak brings solemn rest
Yet my mind forever ponders
Never
Not a chance this time
The days pass ever quickly
The decision falls into my path
Here or there?
I thought I loved her
I wrote of always
I dreamt of forever
Tormented by reality I perish
Falling silent I cry
Sweet melodies
Doth calm a broken heart
Sung to sleep by nature’s song
I rest.
