To My Bitter End

Aggression at myself
It is all meaningless
Drought comes at night
And now I feel in this
My sinking ship has hit the bottom
The crewmembers corpses float in the wake
Those who were less lucky float below
In my last few moments
I take
One last look at the sky
One last look at the earth
For I know that I will die
For my life has no worth
I escape into my mind
My thoughts a thousand miles away
Darkness, cruel and unkind
And know I know it is here to stay
Worthless speck
Unfeeling and uncaring land
Harsh weather and low spirits
Filled with snow and sand
Deserts ov hot and cold
My sky is filled with clouds
Acidic rain drips onto my gaunt flesh
My earth is cold and unforgiving
The ground shakes my soul
I kiss the earth
I kiss the sky
I lie down
Its time to die
In my coffin ov hatred
I forever lie
This crypt ov darkness and failed dreams
It is now that I begin to cry
This world never wanted me here
It would not have eliminated everyone I hold dear
The door slams shut
The funeral march plays
The guests are parting
And I am not surprised
I would leave me here too
Here lies another body
Is what my tomb will read
Nothing wrong
No disease
Just not strong
And too hard to please
Death knocks on my door
And I greet him with open arms
I let out one last final roar
My parting with this world
Enjoy the silence in my absence

Agonizing Depths

In this life, or the next she told me
Her voice quivering as she said it
I will see you again
I wish you luck
I wish you love
Until we meet again
I passed her by as I walked further
My heart beating faster
Their screams heard overhead
I turned and I saw the bullets wind
Boring a hole into my arm
Watch the blood flow
Stood back and let it die
Sand gathered on my back
I watched the vulture cry
"Waiting for it's meal," I thought
It's never fun to know you are the one on the menu
Darkness blurred my vision and I passed out
Waking up underwater
Looking down and only darkness
Looking up and seeing the light playing off the water
Screams within my fragile depths
Passing through the bow
I still see the metal frame of the boat gliding above me
The shadows stretching to cover my corpse
The air leaving my lungs
Crushing pressure of the depths
And the cold caress,
Of the Artic waters
The sky
Passes overhead
The light playing
Off the water
The screams of those below
Passing under my boat
The gunfire
Reaches my blood
And dissapears
As if not there
The screams heard
From those far past
The water's caress
Graces my love
Peace and Tranquility
I grant you now
Let my story come to pass
Tell my children how I lived
And let them know
I won last
Screams heard from broken bones
Drip down
To the depths
"Twenty or free," He told me
"But it's much cheaper"
"If you die."
Knives scattered on my floor
I grab one loosely by the hilt
And stab it in my wretched eyes
My creatures burn
Beneath the sea

It’s time that you knew the truth
That I’ve been brought down low
Dragged around the river
And buried at sea
The current takes my youth
Brings me to the snow
Causes me to shiver
No one finds me
The color has faded from my skin
As I lie asleep along the banks
My arms politely folded
As if merely resting
Its time that I pay for my many sins
This lack ov temperature ranks
Amongst my body molded
As if simply testing
Push me to see how far down I can go
Heat melts into the apathetic cold
Resting quietly in my disease
Waiting for one to be kind
Purification through this bitter snow
Something so soft and yet so bold
And powerful such as the seas
No one can get into my mind
Melt oh mighty cavernous snow!
Free me from this frigid tomb
Shelter made ov broken bone
Flesh draped as a roof
Veins as pipes the waters flow
My heart within is my womb
Ribs serve as brick and stone
My windows have the truth
Wretched wind and darkening sky
Triptych scattered on the floor
The aroma ov seraphs’ grace
My body is broken
Wrap my arms and begin to cry
Triptych hung on the door
Locked in this horrid place
Thine god hath spoken

Serene Ocean

Winds caressing the listless seas
Water lapping at the sand
Stars gliding in the night sky
Watch as they pass through your hand
Lie by the licking flames
Let the warmth dry your tears
There is no darkness here
No sadness, anger or fear
Sleep passes into your mind
Subconscious relaxation
Bring about peace and love
Breathe in the air
Fly like the doves
Breezes and salty wind
Brought down from the sky
Oceanic tranquility
Cricket’s legs grace the sound
Met with winds whispers
And the waves crash
Let relaxation take you
To a world you now know
Let your mind awake within you
To the place you know can go

Over the Currents

I’ve been scanning the horizons
It’s been so long since we last met
And now it feels like I’m dying in your arms
Overcome with these fevers and sweat
Blood screams to a halt on your spine
Licks back at the burning fires
I cried for you over the current
I set you ablaze on the funeral pyre
The waves crash underneath the whale
As he wails for the higher tides
His weeping can be heard for miles
And I broke to descend by his side
In agonizing cold I waited for the crest
