The Devil of the Desert
07:44
|

Far too long and far to reach
In the desert of disbelief
The sand of time still hurls bewildered restlessness
And curls fornicated parapets from where an army of spears will rise
Formation stand! Foot in sand to seize the contraband
Our spears are held up high we are willing to die
Come storm, reluctant I abide by
I bid you welcome, I’ll tame the tides and ride
I’ll tame the tides and ride
So came the storm now silent and calm
And what is left is nothing but death
Narrowing space of trapping walls
Underneath a welkin arc that slowly dissolves
For far too long and for far to reach
In the bleak desert of betrayal and disbelief
A hopeless fool built in the sand his tomb
Of nothing, but time – grew old and forgetful in his mind
So came the storm now silent and calm
And what is left is nothing but death
Narrowing space of trapping walls
Underneath a welkin arc that slowly dissolves

Black Hole Horizon

Uncertainty, collapse on weakened feet
What once was is no more
So fragile, yet so strong
Where do we all belong?
Revolting the axis of life
As the lord gives, so he takes
The path walks into the light
Of a heavenly hell
I bid you welcome to my kingdom
Here I am king
I am timeless God
The endless singularity
So fall to the floor and kneel, what God will you proclaim?
For all and now and more, reveal your God as real to me!
Uncertainty, collapse on weakened feet
What once was is no more
So fragile, yet so strong
Where do we all belong?
So fall to the floor and kneel, what God will you proclaim?
For all and now and more, reveal your God as real to me!

Autumn Leaves Aflame

Autumn leaves aflame
Cold chills freeze her veins
Unveil the burning pain
Summer has died
As her fingers gently undress'
Her summer gown
Shivering by the chills of the wind
Bare in a blush the palette to brush
Red
Courting with a promise of love
A vow sworn
But rejecting befouling eyes
As her beauty scorned, she
Wept
By force of an untamed hand
Faced down tasting a mouth of sand
And locked her heart away
The leaves whirling astray
Tears carved the rivers deep
Wetting the roots that grew beneath
Raindrops caress her skin
And wash the mascara off her chin
Her face a swamp of black blusher smeared
Swathed in white fog of male cheers
Better watch their feet and where they go
The insidious mire swallows

Resignation
05:24
|
|||
Time has thawed the frost
You always have succumbed
Whence snowbound hatred
Lays dormant and numb
Gasping for breath in the distance
Tied to an anchor of lies
That sinks to brink of perdition
Where nothing can hide
Smell the stigma fury
Like a cattle brand
Every skeleton in your closet
Mirrors your own off-hand
Pyres burnt to ashes
Will always leave a trace
Portrayed in dust
Lies the old familiar face
The gates of hell
Spurred by an inevitable fate
A chrysalis swell
Unfolding blossom in decay
And I have seen a world so pure of imperfection utterly
And so I lean a step towards the hell that I created for myself
Where will I go?
When guiding stars fetched thronged in a heaven that I don’t know
Why have you forsaken me?
Why is the effort in vain always the pain that pierces deepest?
Prevail not
Though I know it was the frailty of myself that created God
And so I leave
My mortal remains for my spirit lost to retrieve

Man on the Edge
03:28
|
|||
There is a man
On the edge of the world he stands
For what is worse
Life, a play hadn’t rehearsed
Tears bedizen the ground beneath
Leaving less space for his restless feet
One small step for a man
But the fall will last forever
And with a smile
He left it all for a while
Closing his eyes
An abysmal sunrise
But we all know
That in the garden grows a rose
Only its thorns to keep
To pierce him for his vanity
