Triskelion 04:21
Three legs that strive for knowledge That weave through mankind's past Motion that marches onwards And memories that never last. Know all things are connected In this life and when we die: Three corners to the universe To the journey, you and I.

I see a man on the horizon, His shadow stretches across the air: He stands silent, barely breathing, And as I look again, he is not there. There are patterns in my skin now There is something across my face That speaks volumes I can only hint at And drives me screaming from this place. All the faces are cold and steely, They eye me with suspicion as I pass, This place is no place for living For it reminds me of my past. And the tall man...slid from the fire. Offering me his hand, and a brighter way. With staring eyes, choked with barbed wire, He followed me down into the day. And in my hand I hold a heart It is beating still, and ruby red: I can not tell how it got here, But my fingers are spelling dread.

Ouroborous 06:26
The flowers in the forest are fading But the shadows of summer remain Breathe in the essence of winter And the scent of the dying leaves And wish for new birth. The trees stand in a million colours of fire The Earth moves on As their life escapes to the sky Prayer can not be learned From any number of books or prophets Only nature can teach you worship. Destruction and creation Wind together like lovers. And the ashes of the old Pave the way for the new. The flowers in the forest are fading But the flames promise their return.

Limerence 09:41
When hope and uncertainty remain Within the world I perceive, I will still dream of your name As I drift on the seas. Would it kill you to see The circle of life in rotation? One death on this side of the sea, And one on the other. I don't want this to be The last word between us, Don't turn away, Because life is all love and hate. But if this rain ever lets up Perhaps you will see That these staring eyes Are not dead yet. Life is all love and hate... These staring eyes Are not dead yet. And when this life is over I ask you not to mourn, For the world will turn without us, And another life will be born. Or will it all come to an end?

You will founder in seas of green, Decline to that abhorred abode, And when you wake from your troubled slumber, The light will seem more hateful than God. He is stirring softly, You did all you could. But when you kiss him His mouth will taste of wormwood. I move my lips in the shape of screaming, My fists beat on hollow air. Oh, have a thought for me, If you only would. Don't leave me sitting here Trying to erase the taste of wormwood. Madness did as madness could, And your kisses still taste of wormwood.
