Prey
05:54
|
|||
|
Fingers crossed
On a hand in need
Reaching in pity
To choke empathy
You
Prey for them
Yet you
Prey for them
Eyes clouded in spite
Still see some light
Of blurred, familiar shapes
Faces molded in hate
Hide a smile of a child
With an honor that only the moment takes

Stigmata
05:05
|
|||
|
Thoughts implanted
As seeds
The roots grow deep inside
And ingrain
Everything
Rains upon the seeds
Sprout them through the soil
Into fruits that spoil
Ill from the fruits you reap
Bleeding, yet you
Plant more seeds
Expecting a harvest
Without disease
Social stigmata
Bleeds from these
Seeds that defile humanity

Torn
05:38
|
|||
|
In your loving arms
Stretching the stitches
My hopeful wishes
I suffer more
Your soft hands
Caress distress
Please, no more
Let go
I know
You want it to end
As do I
Leave me
It kills you to stay
But you can only stare
All you did was care

Listener
05:16
|
|||
|
Motionless stares
Awake but not there
The deaf man listens
No sound, no peace
In silent screams
All their suffering
Tears dripping
His heart is ringing
Seeking escape
Into a quiet place
In the silence
In the killing silence
Gouging their hearts
Deafening their ears
Left alone
To endure
An apathetic world
Massacre
In silence
Everyone hears
The deaf man listens

Sun
05:34
|

|
Hail this grand kingdom
His son overlooks
A thousand hands
Sorry for all the noise
The heat gets to them
Nothing blooms
In a garden of ash
An unforgiving sun
Withers us from above
Hail this grand kingdom
His son overlooks
A thousand hands
Sorry the place is such a mess
All their dust just collects
Collapsed, face up
Of tears and dirt
With nothing to see
Left to sunbathe

Drained
It’s been a long day
She’s dying for a drink
And so are they
She looked outside
People scream
Kill for what’s left
And she cried
She buried her face
In her hands
And asked, “Why this?”
I know
All she has are her tears to drink
But she can’t pay the tab
They’ll let her die

Shiver
05:56
|
|||
|
Years from the nest
Losing more than feathers
Forgotten
Once we dove
That inner piece
Of home
Adapted to the winds
To the cold skin
Nesting in the stone
Yet we still shiver
Reminding
To come back home
Come back home

Cinder
05:10
|

|
Burning
On cold tinder
A hand shields the flame
In this cave
This moment
No words, no thoughts
Being, feeling
As a still flame
Then the wind notices
And in one iced, harsh breath
The last of the light dies
But the embers still breathe
|

Virgo
05:11
|
|||
|
Onto the earth
Seeking virtue
Taste of hope
On her tongue
Becomes numb
Disappointed goddess
Glances down
Her eyes glow dim
Locked lips fixed
Away from the light
She leaves to reside
Alone she observes
Quietly
|

Endure
05:00
|
|||
|
A crow rests upon my shoulder
Bitter winds, frozen limbs
Taking nature's course
As do you
Have your own seasons
Shedding your leaves
Only to grow again
A change to embrace
And just as a reminder
Every winter I die
For you, dear
To then spring anew
To let you breathe
My roots always beneath you
Even when my leaves cease

Eulogy
04:49
|
|||
|
Buried in ideas
A funeral for humanity
How they mourn for her
And neglect her
I see her
A book empty of words
Full of virtuous presence
So simple, so whole
I feel her
Surrounded yet untouched
Blossomed in a withering garden
How beautiful, how pure
Another day, another word
They dress her tomb in flora
As she sleeps beneath
Waiting to no longer dream
I see her
A book empty of words
Full of virtuous presence
So simple, so whole
I feel her
Surrounded yet untouched
Blossomed in a withering garden
How beautiful, how pure

Beacon
05:20
|
|||
|
Rusted
From years unlit
Neglected
In hubris
Yet it still stands
Empathic, enduring
For no one, for no thing
Become a beacon
Without a light
Without a purpose
