Shine













Like a light shining from a collapsing star
You reach out to me from beyond melancholic stone angels
Hovering, a silent shroud of gray
My will gasps like a dying rainbow
Smothered by the eternal sun
Painted of flaxen locks left to unwind and surrender
A death mask gently held down and fastened
I lay down to embrace serenity in peaceful disintegration

Evening















Darkness settles in
A yearning to dissipate
Silence in sepia

Ember



Naked in this world I came
Abandoned in this land in flames
Beseeching the caress of liberating rain
Bequeathed with love drenched in pain



Run lost and wild
Flee child of anger
Away from this golden mire
Your love laid waste in embers
Your love's like a forest fire

How long will you drink from this poisoned well
How long will this dying river swell
Will this night go on forever
When will you lay down your scepter

Rage shine down from a sickle moon
Love lies lost...slain too soon
Speak and no one answers
So run like you don't remember

Majestic











Majestic...that's what you are
I tremble at the whisper of your name
Swallows guide your feet
While stars form your halo
Darkness scatter like ripples in your wake

But how would I know?
Its more than I could handle
But how would I know?
It's always too late

Majestic...that's who you are
The room brightens upon the touch of your sight
Rivers sigh and fold before your path
Scared creatures elate at your presence

But how would I know?
Its more than I could handle
But how would I know?
It's always too late

Majestic...that's who you are
Knaves and knights kneel together beside you
I genuflect in gentle supplication
Subjugated by merciful consolation

But how would I know?
Its more than I could handle
But how would I know?
It's always too late
