A new age dawned within the night

A new age dawned within the night

Wolves their claws did slowly sharpen
Hunters their long guns would snap in
What we never knew would happen
set in motion in a heartbeat

As the people failed several tests
the dark forces commenced arrests
with empty hearts and blazing chests
they spread their hate within the world

Of humans shaped a captive breed
they grappled with a dying creed
more hunger strikes more mouths to feed
a crown to tumble down and sway

The crowds the buildings set to blast
a sequence for the rage to last
and as the flames seared on steadfast
a new age dawned within the night

Wandering

The mind follows bends

Of pathways

Yesterday

A walk in Netherland stride

Reckoning of wild

 

Wavering

Consciousness between

Allowed hues

Disowned blues

A patchwork of dreams

Uncovering streams

 

Plundering

In waves comes the greed

From the depths

Missing steps

The soul recovering sheen

Of forgotten spleen

Feel the beat

Reach you through the heat

Morrow’s wave

Receding

The pulse retreating to mark

Peak of tidal throb

 

Feel it bob

Nothing left to rob

Within head

Daily bread

The soul remains out of reach

Rules you cannot breach

 

Feel it come

The end of your sum

Over slum

Minds go mum

Uprooted lions now brew

Fires of their crew

 

Heat to face

Winning through the Grace

Three by one

Fate undone

Curvature beyond Disgrace

Breaking the rat race

Shadows flee

Across wilderness

Icy fires

Light their frames

Bearing weight of twisted games

They run in sleek pairs

 

In between

There stands rubber tree

Its bark runs

Wild and free

With the blood of forgiveness

Token of freedom

 

Every step

Twirling on itself

Creating

Tidal wave

Absolution washing up

On the bare soul shore

 

I stand lone

On brink of kingdoms

Screeching past

Present times

Future of retreating crimes

My staff pierces doors

 

The ripples

Call out to temples

Giants leak

Children speak

We replicate our doom’s days

Carelessness our ways

 

Memory lane

Etched in the stem cells

Swirling voids

Progressing

The inner voice suppressing

Power of black holes

Do you hear

The call of the Love

Vibrations

Penetrate

Every fiber of our frames

Soul quits playing games

 

Still the mind

Hear inner voices

They speak Art

World’s beauty

Love is more than mere duty

The voice of the Heart

 

Earth revolves

Spinning round and round

Gathering

Deep essence

The twirling confirms presence

Of the inner self

 

The raindrops

They quench every thirst

Glistening

Falling free

The mighty brought to the knee

Forgotten children

 

Twining roads

They lead to escape

The blue fires

Rekindled

From ashes of the grey dust

Love is more than lust

 

The battle

Lies in giving in

Warriors

Splintered minds

Gather remnants of their kinds

Retrieving oneness

Do you sleep

Within waking Times

Unknown bliss

Slithering

Away from your withered hands

The shy bloom destroyed

 

Do you sleep

Between walking ghosts

They speak night

Bleak darkness

On the other side of light

They draw black patterns

 

Do you yawn

Waking up tedium

Tight eyelids

Ignorance

Sewn against the remembrance

For what the soul yearns

 

Do you yawn

Your emblem boredom

As world skids

Out of reach

Reality’s dead fragrance

Reeks morals you preach

 

Do you know

Pulling the carpet

Unsettles

Your kingdom

The smoke loses its high fires

Seeking a new Gray

 

Do you know

You see then forget

Amnesia

Forever

Your mind’s chosen Sisyphus

Come play Hyde and see

The wonder

Unfolding slowly

Higher sights

Within range

Vivid photons now derange

The smooth horizons

 

Succession

Past present future

Wondrous views

Earth renews

Icy age follows the fires

Metamorphosis

 

Moon hurtling

Out of its orbit

Sparkling death

Knitted net

A sun its son to remit

Within starlit skies

 

There is love

Woven in my heart

As I walk

Free and lone

Into the blue wilderness

Breathing the waters

 

I dive slow

Into melding sand

While the winds

Hold my hand

New heavens and Earths greet me

As I emerge low

 

Her scents whiff

Guiding star shines bright

Mother calls

Silent voice

They starch her choked collar stiff

As she exhales light

 

Talk to me

Between you and me

Hushed star’s path

Broken maze

The sights of you in a haze

As we gather core

Does it speak

Of broken morrows

The stilled mind

Chilling Heart

Polar experiences

Lurking in the dark

 

I gather

Twigs and worn pages

All fire warmth

Chimneys smoke

Fading thoughts that I invoke

A life pressed in blue

 

I blow hard

Rekindling ashes

Under the grey

Red simmers

Volcanic eruptions bleed

What once could have been

 

There is dust

On my fingertips

Raging winds

That mouth quips

Lift but the blinding spent sands

Leaving million more

 

I shake snow

In glass of seconds

White my slate

Empty store

There is nothing in slain grains

No yeast to raise bread

 

Dancing queen

Shimmers with the shake

As I rake

Garden leaves

With lost stories my chest heaves

Untold for undead

 

Scattered breath

Gathers me within

Chest heaving

Soul cleaving

Remnants of threads strewn across

Rosary and cross

Fireworks game of stars

Coloured skies vivid flashes

Cool winter’s heating

 

Instill me silence

From the depths of Mother’s womb

Amnesia’s flowers

 

A pile of memories

Waiting to catch moonlight’s fire

Insidious rainbows

Red, green, blue, closed hue

Punctuation keeps me sane

Kaleidoscope’s lane

 

I walk through dreamtime

Cast are the chains of my past

In shadowless groves

 

Hollow eyes perceive

The shades in between the lights

Darkness plays in squares

 

Tight-lipped goddesses

Bathing in sun-kissed waters

Emancipation

 

The old man bled seas

The whales and the mobs freed him

Flags burnt in red skies

 

You and I kissed sweet

The parting of forever

Between lips and teeth

 

Sealed in a heartbeat

Promises of stones and cuffs

Slinking pets’ cages

 

My mind a forest

Tall trees, shrubs, waterfalls crept

Stillness their white tomb

 

A story breathed hard

A death like many others

Penance for waking

 

Ten thousand spilled forth

Gushing from open gash fled

Tails and tales for Heads

I gathered hinges

Old creaking doors I mended

Parts solace of whole

 

In between keyholes

Rays of light played with the sun

Games of promises

 

Three more from thirteen

Trinity within my blues

Jazzy end to days

Hark the flaming fires

Through the lighted maze now flow

In Stillness my Speed

.

Light and Dark never

More than whims of rhythmic Heart

Broken is the Deed

.

The flesh spent in wine

Brethren’s stupor drunken dance

Their motto is Greed
