Fire and Water Souls |
A weak and feeble turmoil soul stands nubile naked crying
Before a tower independent indifferent self held hiding
The water soul pool needing pleading seeking for to flow
The soul of flame is shinning...

Blossom of the Heart |
I clasp my torn and bloody hand
To barbed and thorny stem
Watch blood run thickly down my arm
Returned here once again
To hold the purest white of blossom
Raise the bloom of trust
Yet fear my blood sh...

The Living Gloom. |
Rain falls steadily upon his time, unrelenting in its predictability from a grey heavy singular sodden sky that blankets his above which has long since hidden the Moon from his eyes.
Still thoug...

Debora pt1
The telling silence of ignored
Follows knock upon her door
She won't come out to sing today
I go to play alone
On my return to what was wrong
The Coke was chopped the Smack...

Never Days Go By. |
He never found her grave
Never wept upon the soil
Where beneath she lay
Never raised his fist to the sky
That passes over her
Never read her headstone or picked a flower
Just to take to her
Never days...

Elemental. |
The water rise and ebb away
We'll all become a wave
Or fire a rage and burn and then
We'll all become a flame
The earth a swallow us wholly up
We'd all become as stone
Or wind a blow us clean away
Upo...

Who walks on the graves. |
Who walks on the graves of the lives I once led?
Who brought to them flowers, who glad I was dead?

Wits End. |
Follow the path
Around the bend
Down down down
To wits end
A pea-less whistle
A clanger-less bell
A broken ladder
A bottomless well
Where a coin held wish falls

How they became so that way
I feel with them here
And many a where
Share turmoil bewilder dismay
Oh love how they linger
