OVERCOME
Within sleep, unspoken scars
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile
And words kept brief
Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return
Lies a corpse of hope resiled
That haunts my dreams
Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts
All reasons aside
Something in me...
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile
And words kept brief
Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return
Lies a corpse of hope resiled
That haunts my dreams
Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts
All reasons aside
Something in me...

BLACK NIGHTS : PINK LIGHTS
The darkness we've survived
Our virtues kept the vice
The pasts we've left behind
In sounds of us intertwined
I feel you in the hole
That spread throughout my soul
Take this breath
I want to choose my death
Let me slip these tendrils in
To spill the life you'll give
Night curtains the day from you
In echoes, there remains a tune
Songs that swept away the blue
That bleeds now over every hue
A hunger always grows
Abated only when it shows
Hear my voice ...
Our virtues kept the vice
The pasts we've left behind
In sounds of us intertwined
I feel you in the hole
That spread throughout my soul
Take this breath
I want to choose my death
Let me slip these tendrils in
To spill the life you'll give
Night curtains the day from you
In echoes, there remains a tune
Songs that swept away the blue
That bleeds now over every hue
A hunger always grows
Abated only when it shows
Hear my voice ...

PAGES OF NIHIL : DROSS
Set the bar too high
Lived the lie
Faded with the sun
My expression
A year for an hour
Scraped aperture
Gaunt is the heart
That beats too hard
Set the bar too low
Now I know
Lived the lie
Faded with the sun
My expression
A year for an hour
Scraped aperture
Gaunt is the heart
That beats too hard
Set the bar too low
Now I know

APPRAISAL OF JOY
Life becomes brighter
Beyond the storm of reason
The toil of seasons
Success, a book without closure
No eyes to read upon the words
A prison of dull days
Reaped fruit, empty room
Eyes hang like a chandelier
Breath robotic, never attuned
A striving bloom, sheared coccoon
Effort from apathy
No answers
Perpetual stream of empty moments
Such yearn for struggle
When satisfaction is gained
Paradox of the open soul
The hunger never slows
Our pockets ever expand
To...

AMMUNITION
Glass engraved, lips brush
Flesh, blood, drank too much
Fit me like a glove
Sipped me just enough
We struggle to move past our regrets
And find we can't live with our present
I'm sorry that I never forgive
Plucked bud, withered love
Hands burned, gave the sun
Held me like none could
Asked if it felt good
We told each other we could escape
And now we can't remember the place
I hate that everything looks the same
Now
So I'll stay until the morning comes
There's nowhere...
Flesh, blood, drank too much
Fit me like a glove
Sipped me just enough
We struggle to move past our regrets
And find we can't live with our present
I'm sorry that I never forgive
Plucked bud, withered love
Hands burned, gave the sun
Held me like none could
Asked if it felt good
We told each other we could escape
And now we can't remember the place
I hate that everything looks the same
Now
So I'll stay until the morning comes
There's nowhere...

TOIL
Upon barren fields, no crops to sow
Where life becomes rorulent
These forsaken yields, they rotted slow
When doom became apparent
Within memories now, those torrents gone
To greener lands beyond here
Yet still I shall toil until the dawn
For there's nothing left to fear
Where life becomes rorulent
These forsaken yields, they rotted slow
When doom became apparent
Within memories now, those torrents gone
To greener lands beyond here
Yet still I shall toil until the dawn
For there's nothing left to fear

THE VIOLINIST
Omitted the game you play
Speared through as lines erased
Written to colour the grey
Upon this page you splay
Your tempest comes for me
With words of Baroque you play
I deliquesce in shape
Your sonorous embrace
Silk beguiled swan song
Swarth enrobed dusk
Baleful tryst
And her name was silence
When longing came to be
The noise was deafening
They are the wolves, left behind
Marking the trees with claws and teeth
Far from the flesh they bleed
For the prey is mine...
Speared through as lines erased
Written to colour the grey
Upon this page you splay
Your tempest comes for me
With words of Baroque you play
I deliquesce in shape
Your sonorous embrace
Silk beguiled swan song
Swarth enrobed dusk
Baleful tryst
And her name was silence
When longing came to be
The noise was deafening
They are the wolves, left behind
Marking the trees with claws and teeth
Far from the flesh they bleed
For the prey is mine...

STAY WITH US
Lone pariah of the heart in knots
Into darkness, slipping
Faced with dismissal, dismal thoughts
For acceptance, gripping
Beyond the shadows in your soul
There is so much more to extol
Crumble apart, there is no rush
I'll be there to pick the pieces up
So you've held out through the storm for answers
And you're tired of all of life's meanders
Then would you reach out before you bleed out?
Don't you face the world with pained expression
Don't you lose your goal on first impression
Or would you bleed out...
Into darkness, slipping
Faced with dismissal, dismal thoughts
For acceptance, gripping
Beyond the shadows in your soul
There is so much more to extol
Crumble apart, there is no rush
I'll be there to pick the pieces up
So you've held out through the storm for answers
And you're tired of all of life's meanders
Then would you reach out before you bleed out?
Don't you face the world with pained expression
Don't you lose your goal on first impression
Or would you bleed out...

VISIONS OF APOCALYPSE
All is written, all is scried
All is hated that is pried
All is rotten, all is vile
All is hidden 'neath a smile
All is beckoned, all is towed
All is brought to my abode
All is loathing, all is dread
All is leaking from my head
All is murder, all is death
All is mine with every breath
All is burning, all is gore
All is fragments on the floor
All is dusty, all is drenched
All is rocks and weeds and stench
All is vacant, all is void
All is waste of the enjoyed
All is blackened, all is grey
All is one phone call...
All is hated that is pried
All is rotten, all is vile
All is hidden 'neath a smile
All is beckoned, all is towed
All is brought to my abode
All is loathing, all is dread
All is leaking from my head
All is murder, all is death
All is mine with every breath
All is burning, all is gore
All is fragments on the floor
All is dusty, all is drenched
All is rocks and weeds and stench
All is vacant, all is void
All is waste of the enjoyed
All is blackened, all is grey
All is one phone call...

THE HITMAN
I.
"It all ended with a hush, and tears
A silent confession as I cupped his ears
Then life continued with a quickening pace
And a part of me has never left that place
His image persists as I leave with her
A solemn abnegation to which I swore
His image persists as she confides in me
Choked the pain inside that she'll never see
A plethora of faces
Past the barrel of a gun
But of pareidolia
There was only one
I could weep of unfairness
I could scream at the sky
But protecting her...
"It all ended with a hush, and tears

WHITE
How could it be
My oath of malice, broken?
What did I see
From out my dreams, awoken?
Fair and unbeknownst to me
With radiance bequeathed the shade
To my orbicular gates
Stricken
The purity refined therein
Made every light anemic
And the rose of her smile
My kaleidoscopic prison
A single thought escaped
As I made away
"Goodness, me"
My oath of malice, broken?
What did I see
From out my dreams, awoken?
Fair and unbeknownst to me
With radiance bequeathed the shade
To my orbicular gates
Stricken
The purity refined therein
Made every light anemic
And the rose of her smile
My kaleidoscopic prison
A single thought escaped
As I made away
"Goodness, me"

UNTITLED
Heartstring bound
Shivers
A crack in sound
Then silence
Aback to the chasm
Of conscience
I lay, dilapidated
As all structures become
Crumbling here
Fading into the wilds
Lifted
Gazing above
Nearing zenith
Free
Shivers
A crack in sound
Then silence
Aback to the chasm
Of conscience
I lay, dilapidated
As all structures become
Crumbling here
Fading into the wilds
Lifted
Gazing above
Nearing zenith
Free
