The Vessel
It was then that as the battle was raging on
A strange ship appeared above in the skies
And as all eyes turned upward the fighting stopped
Long enough to be mesmerized by it’s giant sails
A soldier from the north side of no man’s land
Fired a canon round toward the massive vessel
But it seemed that the hull’s shiny chrome and steel
Absorbed the shell as it descended slowly
In fear, both sides turned their fire on the craft
A fury of hell bombarded until smoke blinded them
But still, the ship, without making a sound
Landed...

Pelion
Where once the proud towers stood
There stood at length and at last
Only ruin
Here and there remained somewhat
Stone on stone
Weathered more than worn
Turned dark and green by moss and stain
And damp
As if memory still sorrowed here
Alone
When all else lay forgot
Yet
So elemental
The stillness itself was imbued
With the power to evoke
That which words could not put to name
And feelings alone disclose
What piercing eye can glance to see
What lies beyond all distance
Indeed ...

Down again I weep to tread
To deeper depths than reason can
My heart in hues of palest blue
With every corridor I lose
I count each brick that prisons me
As signs no longer have the means
That face that guides me from the way
As empty as my hopes astray
I'm forced to gaze upon my dread
When nought but Him walk in my head
It's what He speaks that torments me
'Don't look at me, don't look at me'
To deeper depths than reason can
My heart in hues of palest blue
With every corridor I lose
I count each brick that prisons me
As signs no longer have the means
That face that guides me from the way
As empty as my hopes astray
I'm forced to gaze upon my dread
When nought but Him walk in my head
It's what He speaks that torments me
'Don't look at me, don't look at me'

Siren song
We have not been together for a long time, and the love we held for each other has gone and seeped it’s way back into the earth, but it is alright;
Because I am so good at one thing, and that thing is being alone.
I am a siren, keeping men and women with me like a shawl of the dead, doomed to rot with me until the end of everything, the ending of earth herself.
You told me that you want me, and that it doesn’t have to be labeled, but how could it be anything like what we’d had before?
I would have carved you out of my rib, flesh and all; had you asked me to. ...

Real Talk
I do what I do and it's all for yall
Gave him two to the chest and the problem was solved
With no jersey on my back and no nikes on my feet
I don't run with no pack, because I know the streets
The few that I fuck with are real motherfuckers
They logically look at shit, fuck being someone's sucker
I mean these bitches can walk up into any fucking block
Hell give them two weeks and they'll have shit on lock
I'm not talking corner block, but take it that way if you must
Let's find out who's running shit and who do they trust
If the...
