How we caved in through the longest year
Time stood still then but we could not hear
The silence of the stars
Hanging at the break of the dawn was the armor within
Turned into a mean of defiance of the way it has been
If it shatters at the flick of a wrist was just a matter of 
time
Illusions haunt the back of a hall where there's nothing 
to hide 
Fear was welcome but it overstayed
Love was endless till it washed away
And slithered into the straylight

Not unlike the solemn glow
Of a wilderness altar
Reflecting the stellar remains of all
that ever shone
In a quest for solace
And undisputable truths
This heart's too a bearer of all things 
radiant and decadent
And it flutters and fades in awe
At horizon's end
Dwarfed by the pulse of the earth
Through a wreath of lingering darkness 
The caliginous dawn 
Breathes life into wounds unknown
The promise of everything
In nothingness I wait alone
Open arms to feel it
The bloodlines that run through me
Fail to remind where and why
In times I forget
Not unlike the ground below
Or the light it devours
When it quivers and opens a shallow grave
of silt and clay
Reminding the provenance
Of this frangible shell
Our wound is a crevice of timeless seams
and iridium dust
The promise of everything
In nothingness I wait alone
Open arms to feel it
The halo of vanity
Will dazzle the highways we roam
In times we forget
In radiant decadence

The night cools down the ash upon the soil
Like an ailing mother
By her unmade deathbed
The final step across the rubicon
May the light that guide us be
From the bridges we burn
The times have found us now
The weight we share is a beating heart
The ocean's set to rise
And where it goes
This river's arms are soon to follow
Vacant mirror
A cruel inheritance 
Gazing out through the signs
In the smog of a dawn to come
Brave the fallout
And cross to the other side
To stride the black earth
And witness life for what it's worth
A portal cast along the barren slopes
Over scree and boulder 
In a mercury laden path
No remnants of the age of opulence 
But a glimpse into the raw 
feast of tardigrades
The times have found us now
How well we fare is a matter of chance
The high wind spreads the fires
And where it blows
This river's arms are soon to follow
Vacant mirror
A cruel inheritance 
Gazing out through the signs
In the smog of a dawn to come
Brave the fallout
And step into the light
To stride the black earth
And embrace the dust where you belong

Slow down, kill the echo burning through the mind
In wavelengths often void of symmetry
It feeds back into sorrows further cast aside
And tails out by the black hole where convictions meet 
the night
It echoes…
There's grit in desertion
There's art in restraint
When thoughts come down like hammers 
Let the consciousness stream
In the loneliest hours of silence
A hill to die upon
In the sweltering shroud of darkness 
A rescuing light 
We stand and brave the storm
We stand and brave the storm alone
Breathe out, let the cycle be unbroken now
A failure of the memory that deceives
Contemplate the flood until the sunken ground
Clears the wreckage where all violences abound
It echoes… 
There's truth in abstraction
There's beauty in decay
When thoughts reign over like tyrants
Let the river flow
To the sobering grounds of virtue
A faded paragon 
Through the harvesting I am the mountain 
Forged in the fire
To stand and brave the storm
To stand and brave the storm alone 
Skyward
And sinking roots
A vessel to hold the shards of armors past
Branched out
And reaching deeper
To find grit in desertion 
Beauty in decay 
A monument shaped by wind and time
Could never fade

The way of water
It dragged us down
The abyss of our deeds
A spiraling motion
A wistful sound
A violent memory 
A grave for words left unspoken 
By the borders we crossed alone
A rope wearing thin
As the days go by
Like a slow dive 
And when the tides roll in
It lifts our tired eyes
Off the heavy skies
The churning of the waves
Fight them if you may
But nothing stays
The water and its ways
Will dare us to remain
For one more day
(Head above water
Weightless then
Memories sinking
No way back now)
Giving in
Running out
Time is upon us now
Caving in
Falling down
Picking up from the ground
Quiet then
Not a sound
All that went comes around
It led us here
The final bow
Starting all over now

Parhelion


To throw my eyes into the maelstrom

To catch a light that's heaven-sent

To let the darkness settle in now

To find bliss in ignorance


To ponder each course of action

To swing the crooked pendulum

To rest upon a dream of errors

So self important and too far gone


A dream of errors

In monochrome

No greater leisure

Than to fool the spirit


Staring at the face of dawn

The night gave birth

To a second sun

Surrendering the will to run

Towards the brighter

Flame the heavens spawned


To raise the dagger high against the eminence of a dimming sky

Now silhouettes of twin shadows

Appear as if they're bound to fly


And like a swarm of moths

Merge into the white


Gone, elusive relic

of fleeting glow

No funeral masses

to crown the fallen


Staring at the face of dawn

The night gave birth

To a second sun

Surrendering the fear to burn

Ever closer

To the faux star

Sizing up the western shore

These eyes have longed

For wondrous sights

The quietude of dreams afar

Indulges the spirit

With the warmth of summers gone

Far too late
Too drawn out
To find a new meaning
To fight this one last breath
In lungs ablaze, an ocean divide
And for all we take, with nothing we part
A silent stare
through the cracks of infinity
Out of reach
Like the confluence of times
For the weight of this idle crown
Falls on me and shatters on the ground
Over a reign cursed with famine and drought 
Come the end, all the walls come down
In lungs ablaze
An ocean divide
For all we take
There's nothing...
Nothing
