Falling into the Phantasmic,
Past the Blackened Void,
I look to the Future,
One Most would Avoid,
But I see then a Glimmer,
Like a Far-oft star,
And as I watch it shimmer,
I think on where you are.
But it doesn’t really matter,
Whether you’re there or here,
For often I speak with Fates and Gods,
And they know I hold you dear.
So no matter our where or when,
No matter what we do,
As I linger in the Blackened Void,
I promise to be true.
One day I’ll escape this memory,
One day my soul will soar,
One day I’ll be who I am,
And let loose a mighty roar.
One day I won’t be here,
One day I’ll have my home,
But until that day has come,
I will continue with my tome.
For no one has done what I have,
No one can write these words,
No one can see what I see,
Through broken glass of a million sherds.
Though you may come for me,
I came not for you.
I come only for those
Unafraid to follow through.
In the dawning of dark light,
I will remember those
Timid, tired, weak,
Minds set on what they know.
But they know not me,
Nor the darkness of my soul,
And soon this empty vessel
Will exact its toll.
For a convergence is upon you,
A dawning yet unseen,
And I hold inside my mind,
All that has never been.
Destroy my words, destroy my thoughts,
But you cannot destroy me.
The mind of God is soon upon you,
And soon you all shall see.
When the dawning begins,
A darkness shall cover the land,
And I know who it is
That sits at God’s right hand.
When you face your Darkest Day,
When you don't know what to do,
Sit in silence in your mind,
And be true to you.
For no matter what they say,
No matter who they are,
They cannot reach inside your mind,
Nor determine who you are.
So on your Darkest Day,
Be thankful for your strength,
And remember whatever happens,
You could go another length.
For with fortitude of mind,
With courage of the heart,
With peace inside your soul,
You will be whom you art.
The Blood and the Smoke,
And the Dark Acrid Air…
All I Could Smell Was the Blood,
And the Dust of Despair.
Wherever I Turned,
Was Death and Destruction,
But You Protected Me,
With a Brand New Construction.
So When I Return,
I Will Rise Toward the Sky,
And the Souls Will Ring Out,
As the Earth Heaves a Sigh:
“We Have Returned,
We are Here Once Again,
And Now it’s your Turn…”
She Said Unto Them.
I Hold the Souls
That You Have Cast Out.
I Will Refine Them
Until No One Doubts.
I Have Come
And I Continue By Choice.
I Listen to Them
And to the Dead I Give Voice.
When You Have No One
At All By Your Side,
I Will Be There,
And I Do So With Pride.
For What is Life
But Lessons in Time?
What is the Point,
With no Reason or Rhyme?
I See the Patterns
That they don’t Discern,
And I’ll Reach Into Hell,
To Save Those That Burn.
Do your wounds,
Lessen with Time?
Do you stop and think,
And press rewind?
Do you replay your life,
Daily in thought?
Do you really think,
That you Know all you ought?
What do you do,
When the wounds won’t heal?
To whom do you turn,
When Life gets Surreal?
Do you surrender your mind,
To the pain of the past?
Or do you rise up and try,
Every day ‘til the Last?
And when that day comes,
Will you face it with honor?
Or will you cry and heave sighs,
Like you’re a goner?
Do you turn to the thunder?
Do you stare down the rain?
Can your wounds overcome,
The cause of your pain?
A Dwelling in the Darkness,
A Life Outside of Time,
A Place Where I‘m the Only One,
And No One’s on My Mind.
A Place Outside of Want,
A Place Outside of Need,
A Place Outside of You,
Where my Soul can Feed.
A Place to Just Be Me,
A Place Where I Escape,
A Dwelling in the Darkness,
And Time Without a Shape.
A new beginning,
The end of the old,
But where I will go,
Is still untold.
The lessons I’ll learn,
Along the way,
Will lead me somewhere
I’d like to stay.
Along the path,
There are people to meet,
But most will give up,
Swiftly in defeat.
But I’ll carry on,
I’ll persevere again,
So when I find my beginning,
It won’t be an end.
Death on the Horizon,
As stars fall from the sky,
Death on the Horizon,
And no one wonders why.
But I will hold the souls
All of you forget,
And I swear to them one day,
They will fly like a jet.
They will linger on,
Through their silence and the pain,
As Karmic Hells Rains down,
Burning like Acid Rain.
A moment in motion,
A warp of the mind,
A step out of place,
My boundary a line;
I will do unto others,
As they have to me;
Vengeance is key,
Karmically.
But we are kind,
In this brave new world;
We are of one mind,
And rarely surled.
But if you step,
Over my line,
You will immediately know,
What it is to be sine.
For I freeze out,
Those who would preach,
And set time and will,
Out of their reach.
I condemn those who prey,
Upon the kind and the meek,
And only I know,
That you are truly weak.
So if you’ve not the will,
To strengthen your soul,
I blacken your mind,
Darker than coal.
I will condemn your actions,
And all that you are,
For divided factions,
Won’t travel far.
So get in line,
Before it’s too late,
Or a warp of the mind,
Will be your fate.
When no matter what you do,
No matter what you say,
The world throws a curveball,
Each and every day,
Try to persist,
Attempt to linger on,
And perhaps maybe one day,
It will know that you are strong.
But until that day comes,
No matter what they think,
Believing in yourself,
Will bring you to the brink
Of inspiration renewed,
And perspirational gains,
So dodge those curveballs,
And run toward where you aim.
One day I spied a raven,
Soaring over sea,
Then saw it glancing down,
Looking straight at me.
“What a blackened beauty!”
I exclaimed to myself,
"What a sight to behold!”
As it soared above the delph.
The raven heard & dipped its wings,
Glittering in the sun,
Singing a tune long forgotten,
Of doing what I mun’.
So off from there I went,
Ne’er once glancing back,
As I hummed to the raven
Of the darkest black.
This is not the end,
But a cycle that renews.
So take hold of your Self,
And pay your Soul’s dues.
As we spin through Samsara,
I measure Karma,
So please live with Karama,
As you fulfill your Dharma.
For that is the path,
It is your Way ahead,
And I have naught but Patience,
As I collect my Dead.
Each and every debt,
Will be repaid to me,
Each and every life -
I exact my fee.
Then I pick a new wheel,
A new cycle to turn,
Leaving rotten souls behind,
To feel thermodynamics as they burn.
I have lost before,
I have lost again;
I remember each how,
I remember each when.
But I’ve also come to terms,
With who I am,
And now with each how,
I become better than.
So I continue my march,
Though the journey’s long,
Lifting my head to the skies,
As I sing a dirge song.
For each and every how,
Was a little death,
As you cleaved my soul,
Until you thought me bereft.
But I linger on,
In the darkness of the night,
Looking to sun, moon, and stars,
And the clouds’ ghostly light.
A subsumation
In my veins,
An indescribable sensation
Driving me insane.
What would you do,
If you knew you didn’t matter?
What would you do,
If you saw bloodshed splatter?
Would you get a rag,
And help to clean the mess?
Would you get a pen,
And record, to then obsess?
Would you learn from their pain?
Would live to sing again?
Would it even matter
With subsumation in your veins?
When the sky is crawling
With ribbons of white light,
When its darkest blue
Then turns to darkest night -
That is when you'll see
The truest of your foes;
That is when you'll learn
What nobody knows.
That is when you'll travel
Farther than you knew;
That is when you'll see
That I believed in you.
For in the darkest night
You freed me from my hells,
And though I am Dark Light
I have much to tell.
So now I'll tell a story,
One hidden within me,
As we return to years of glory
From sea to shining sea.
And as we spin through time,
I question where we’ve been.
Do you look to the past
To find your Future’s kin?
What if they were,
In that picture in a book?
What if just one glance
Was really all it took?
Could you be reunited
By gazing ‘pon their face?
Would total concentration
Bring them through time and space?
How strong is your will?
Would you bend the Earth to you?
Or do you sit and stare,
Wishing it was all through?
If I could gift you will,
Determination of True Strength,
I would do anything,
And I would travel any length.
For I don’t leave my kin,
Not in pixels nor in time,
And if it takes forever,
Then Forever I will climb.
To know what was,
And what will never be;
To see the future,
And speak infinity;
To go where others,
Have only fled;
To be a mother,
Of the dead;
To seek and find,
What was never lost;
To Comprehend Time,
And all it cost;
To trod behind,
But never catch;
To be defined,
But never matched;
To live with insight,
Of what was not said;
To live in hindsight,
Where others led.
I will go
Where none have been,
And I will lurk,
There unseen.
For never before
Have you contemplated me,
Never before,
Did you see.
A woman at war,
A battle within,
When star signs collide,
I read their sins.
I collect all the guilt,
And seek all the pain,
But what’s left for me,
Is hate and disdain.
So choose your sides;
Choose fast and choose well,
For I see through the lies,
And bullshit they sell.
Those lacking remorse,
And set in their ways,
I condemn
To inanimum days.
