How many times have I Prayed for death? For life? I hope God understands my seemingly contradictory appeals...

The Fall of the Vapor Mystic, Part III (Even When It Cannot Be Seen)
A thick, black fog hangs low over this place now. Long shadows cast by rolling waves of darkness spilling across the houses and walkways. With each passing second, breathing becomes increasingly labored. The windswept streets grow empty and desolate, As the life that once filled them hides behind doors and walls of brick, As … Continue reading The Fall of the Vapor Mystic, Part III (Even When It Cannot Be Seen)
The Fall of the Vapor Mystic, Part I (We Must Be Loved)
Poison cloud still hangs from Imploded Vapor Mystic; Thought she'd been left behind, Turns out she had left her mind. Departure left void that None could fill Were they to even find Path through darkened mist of Dead, decayed, undefined. Mirror fold and Shatter, Must now see Not two but three, Not I but we, … Continue reading The Fall of the Vapor Mystic, Part I (We Must Be Loved)
You.

Felt like A cold wind moving Hollow reeds on dripping bank Brace, step three feet left Resume Fog lifts Breathe Guided by The brightest star Only Soon seen as Just a streetlight Rising above the rest
Behind That Smile
Behind that smile Those rows of teeth You hide yourself That none may see. Behind that smile Those open eyes Your face it laughs Your soul it cries. Behind that smiles That silky skin The world ends And you begin.
In the Light, Seeing Only the Shadows
The world around me is aglow In a golden hue And I find contentment In the simple truths The little moments And the grandiosities All the same But there are still hours Days Weeks at times Where my attention is drawn To the shadows which fall Across the otherwise luminous landscape Cast by any of … Continue reading In the Light, Seeing Only the Shadows
Oh, For the Innocence
Oh, for the innocence Of the days we left behind I'd gladly give all I have learned For such a peace of mind Oh, for the sense of self The assured inherent truth I'd give all that I have acquired To give it back to you Oh, for the endless hours spent Pursuing life and … Continue reading Oh, For the Innocence
