Whispers of The Saints
O'er the midnight moorlands praying
Thro' the cypress forests swaying
In the night-wind softly straying
Holy voices fill the air
In the barren branches speaking
By the quiet pools still seeking
Past the shore-cliffs ever peeking
Saintly whispers of their care
Once, I think I half remember
Ere the skies of cold December
Quench'd my heart’s once fervent ember
Liv’d there such a thing as grace
Skies that now are grey were gleaming
Bright and golden, warm with meaning
Till I learn’d beneath its seeming
Faith alone...
Thro' the cypress forests swaying
In the night-wind softly straying
Holy voices fill the air
In the barren branches speaking
By the quiet pools still seeking
Past the shore-cliffs ever peeking
Saintly whispers of their care
Once, I think I half remember
Ere the skies of cold December
Quench'd my heart’s once fervent ember
Liv’d there such a thing as grace
Skies that now are grey were gleaming
Bright and golden, warm with meaning
Till I learn’d beneath its seeming
Faith alone...

The Taste of Memories
My mouth is dry,
I taste the sands shy,
With memories of oasis water,
I wish it were hotter,
Is my mouth dry,
Even as I cry,
Words have left me here,
But I still fear,
The memories I came to bare,
Dry my mouth is,
From times different than this,
I long for something more,
My brain is now but a chore,
Mouth dry is my,
For I now know why,
I left behind my mind,
Now I must unwind,
With nothing of a talker.
I taste the sands shy,
With memories of oasis water,
I wish it were hotter,
Is my mouth dry,
Even as I cry,
Words have left me here,
But I still fear,
The memories I came to bare,
Dry my mouth is,
From times different than this,
I long for something more,
My brain is now but a chore,
Mouth dry is my,
For I now know why,
I left behind my mind,
Now I must unwind,
With nothing of a talker.

Aeons of Abyssal Wells
Go where the light is weak
Listen when the dark shall speak
Whispers from realms unknown
Time itself turned to stone
Silence gone and long expired
Dead skies long retired
Beyond our own mortal pale
See beyond and pierce the veil
Where cursed things dance
Trumpeters of the mad god's trance
What no mortal may ever see
Beyond is the cursed infinity
Shadow stretch in length untold
Insidious aeons slowly unfold
Cursed scions that...

Of The Bowels of the Earth
Beneath the stones where silence keeps
In ancient vaults where daylight sleeps
There stirs a breath, a whispered wail
A shiver cold, a visage pale
The earth doth groan in muffled sighs
As something wakes with hollow eyes
A creeping dread, a blackened tide
That stirs the bones of those who died
It slithers slow through cracks unseen
A shadow cast on shadow's sheen
The touch of night, the cold embrace
Of spectres lost to time and space
Eldritch whispers claw the...

52-Hertz
I stand there, watching
Like an invisible entity
Corralled by people
A smile on my face barely sticking
To force myself to be equable
I think i look okay
Well, at least i’m not panicking
But, why are they
Looking past me
Strange, i ponder thus
I make more effort
To be enough
to get their attention
Yet it’s not working
My words remain stuck
Rooted to the spot
As i go by
Barely noticed
So i cocoon myself
Into my shell
Barely existing
Hardly remembered
Scarcely wanted...
Like an invisible entity

Silent Revenge
In life I was silenced, never free
by those individuals who didn't respect me
In death
I won't rest
Feelings I will express
Agitated
Retaliation Prosecution
Vindication Exoneration
I'm free
by those individuals who didn't respect me
In death
I won't rest
Feelings I will express
Agitated
Retaliation Prosecution
Vindication Exoneration
I'm free

Unsaid
Choosing not to speak
the chunks of split sentences
become serrated.
I swallowed the words
severing my vocal cords,
drowning in silence.
the chunks of split sentences
become serrated.
I swallowed the words
severing my vocal cords,
drowning in silence.

Soundless
How can you touch my soul
without uttering a single word?
Not through ghostly whispers
or distant telepathic signals—
but through a silent embrace,
from the vast, echoing void
where thoughts etch themselves
onto the canvas of my heart.
Is it you who whispers to me
across the boundless expanse,
where serenity drapes us
from the crown of my head
to the tips of my toes?
You ask, “Do you love me?”
In that instant, trembling,
I stammered, “I—I—I love you.”
Beyond...

Elysium
Mourning air whispering over me
You were all mine seven months ago
I was denied entry
Elysium
Will I see you again?
Each day of mine is closing without light
Where will I rest my head for my eternity?
You were all mine seven months ago
I was denied entry
Elysium
Will I see you again?
Each day of mine is closing without light
Where will I rest my head for my eternity?

Silence
Words fail miserably
Silent treatment more abstruse
Cryptic thoughts exposed.
Silent treatment more abstruse
Cryptic thoughts exposed.

Uselessness
I'm from the time
when being Iconic
meant rotating the triangle
on its own axis.
What a timeless memory
of INVERSED ice cream.
Walking in circles,
like a DIZZY cockroach,
without leaving the place...
Not having wings to FLY
when throwing myself off a cliff
but enjoying every second
I have left of air.
Dissipate into AIR
and become MOLECULES.
A cosmic undertaking.
No earthly connection,
just boundless air
floating FOREVER.

Night
I want to break out into the night
Go somewhere far from sight
Drifting into the absence of light
Beyond the reach of the fight
Under the stars surrounded by peace
All the cares and worries come to cease
Hidden from the world, able to release
The company of shadows makes the anxiety decrease
Stillness brings serenity to my soul
The solitude facilitates me gaining control
Free from the weight of playing a role
Recharging the energy that the daylight stole
I'd try to keep moving to stay ahead of the sun ...
Go somewhere far from sight
Drifting into the absence of light
Beyond the reach of the fight
Under the stars surrounded by peace
All the cares and worries come to cease

The solitude facilitates me gaining control
Free from the weight of playing a role
Recharging the energy that the daylight stole
