Droves

Murmuring voices amass
Building toward the greatest wave
Their torrential storm
break against the highest walls
Our palace
Devoured by their storm
Eloquent in its pursuit
Consorting with a master call
My world falls away
With each turning
Each passing day
With the churning
Rivers run red
This storm alone
Could quell our world entire
Besot desire
Still survives
Swathed in the writhing waves
Our stubborn hearts
Fight against the current
Absolved
We join hands and accept
To sink Deeper
Beneath
Swathed in the writhing waves
We accept to sink deeper beneath
Swathed in the writhing waves
We accept

Here again
Toiled skin
Shivering
Wild eyes
Cast over
blanket ocean
I’ve let my fire wilt
Like charred bones
Blistered and black
Frail
Fading embers
Seeth
Savage winter bends my will
Pushed passed comfort
Unfulfilled
I cast each fear atop the pyre
Every piece of prior peace
Catches quicker than the last
Consumed x2
Continued suffering through endless night x3

3. |

Burdened
By grief
A waif
A wretch
Alone
I walk
For the end
It’s hidden somewhere
Bright lights that shine
Brighter
Longer than they need
To take
Onward I dwell into despair x2
Their lights
Dismantle
My inertia
I see my end
Before my time
Folding to sweet release
Rest now in your paper thin sleep
I am so far from the end
It seems we both sit silent
On either side of this cruel divide
I am nothing
If not a child
You were someone too grand to hold
And we were ghosts all along
We were ghost all along x4

All But Lost
04:04
|
|||
Waiting on a breeze
A change of mind of clarity
This fog of promise
Had filled my heart
For far too long
And left me bloated
I’ve lost myself
The days of passionless tenancy
Have reached out and devoured me
Alone I am all but lost
Used of everything I have

Half Hands Won't Hold
06:51
|
|||
Youthful hands
Grope and grasp
Finding comfort in each other
Forming cracks between walls
Forbiddance sought to seal
Their breach and catch and cut the guilty
Severed from their side’s
These hands won’t hold another
Through short supply of duty
breeds disillusion
That claws and clamours the walls
Confrontation comes when eyes close
In bliss of slumber
Loyal I wait
Arms raised
Pleading
Half I stand a broken man
Half of what once could’ve been
Phantom hands grasping
Reaching nothing
Consumed I break
Deformed
Draining
These hands won’t hold another hand
Confrontation comes once all eyes close
In bliss of slumbers song
|

Grasp
For the corners
Of the edge
Black upon black
The great expanse
Embrace the yawning mirror
And all those it keeps within
Mirror born of self
Reflecting back heresy
I see myself
Suspended
My pendulous spirit
A drop frozen above
An endless black ocean
I fear my thoughts become exposed
Deliberate and complete
Yet meticulously vague
Unending in its spite
Hidden in the opaque
Protruding shards
Rise from the mirror
Dissect my form
Convergence means
The end of all things
Beyond thought
Beyond self

Drift
05:57
|
|||
Drift
Into
Possibility
A faltering wish
Observed worthless
Abstract
Undefined
Remaining nonetheless
It’s aperture silhouette
Grievously bound
With entrancing persistence
Propelled
Or held
Hoping
Standing in the gulf
Potency
Over aweing
Expanding upon desire
To glare ever deeper
And go
into
Blissful
Calamity
It calls my name
Forever
It calls for me
Standing in the gulf
Potency
Over aweing

Blear, Amidst
06:26
|
|||
Looming
Indelible
Holding
Over the ages
Without
Provision
I ask to pass,
from this place
(There is no sound)
where nothing grows
(There is no life)
Alone beneath the clouds
(There is no light)
a sun amidst the fog.
Without strength
The night groans
Shadow’s won’t pass
My will diminished as the apex climbs
on and on
Alone beneath the clouds
Echoes wail and languish
In the vastness
Renewed only to fall again
Propelled Skyward
On and on

Ever { I.I.MMXVI }
10:50
|
|||
Outlasting our hope
The ever stretching stare
Endless and fraught
Our resolve is all but gone
Blown like ribbons
In the wind
With faithless steps
It stretches on
We preserver yet
Against our own
Faltering will
Ever on we’ve climbed
To this moment
Ever on
To touch the sun
You fill our cupped hands in communion
For you compel the sun to burn
And burn the winds away
You are the beginning and the end
The bridge on which we cross
You are the beginning and the end
The bridge in which we cross.
Could this dying hope
Subdue the endless dark
That climbs on
To drag you under
But with not a word
Burn
The sun will cast the sea asunder
Never have I seen such beauty never have I felt such terror
You may not see
From so far and so high
This sea of dark climbs behind
To drag you under
But with not a word
Burn
The sun will cast the sea asunder
Never have I seen such beauty never have I felt such terror
You are the beginning and the end
For you compel the sun to burn
You are the beginning and the end
For you compel the sun to burn.
