The Weary Path

Weariness grabs you
You wish you could flee
Festers the wound
Blood turning green


Poison builds on
A choking doom
Bourne in a storm
Eternal gloom


Where is the light
An end promised
None to be found
All to admonish


Peace does not come
Death price to pay
The soul been wrung
By a mind decayed


Hail to the night
Which comes which goes
Welcome respite
Of quaking death throes


Miles to journey
Endless the days
Life the contrary
Morality to slay


Lose you pine
The grave to visit
Reach the divine
The man diminished


Held by fears
The mortal man
Ruled by desires
Till fate takes hand


Earth swallows whole
What little remains
Engulfed the abode
Of sins long detained


Crying release
Mindless rage strikes
Heart claims defeat
Your one final plight


Blight now whole
Escape there is none
The stone in your cheset
No longer now cares


Where is humanity
When self takes over
If all does deplete
And man's nature sundered

The Lonely Beach

The sea beckons
A beat upon the sands
Spray after spray
Foams dancing upon the waves


The waters stretch on
Chasing the horizon
Endless is the deep
An effervescent pit of dreams


Calmness roils in its face
Distant shores calling
A promise with each whisper
Peace pronounced in silent thunder


Dressed in the sunlight
Sparkles the folds of distant waves
It quavers solid
Constantly singing to nobody


Birds chatter to the trees
Leaves rustling in the wind
Sands dance unseen in the breeze
An orchestra unending


The mystical allure
In waters blue
That moves the world
Before one without a clue


A pull is triggered
By a message heard
As the mind sits
And the soul cavort


Sands welcome touch
Waves sing their beats
The winds cajoling
Into fading dreams

Into The Night

These pastel skies
Darkening to night
As memories waft away
Day giving its light



Trees remain silent
Birds sing goodbye
Tears remain
Night comes to lie



The winds quieten down
Under the staring moon
I wonder where you are
Pressing down the gloom



Stars twinkle by
Shades unnoticed dance
Staring blankly up
To a sky glittering silent



Crickets sing to the grass
A song the moon pines for
Breaking down
As the darkness reaches its crown



Clouds hide the light
A drizzle warns of the storm
Nothing is right
As distant thunder spawns

Mirror

That which is broken
Will remain undone
Shattered shards remain
Like little breadcrumbs



Silently it weeps
Forever been marred
Faltering remains
Strugggling to stand on



Time will heal all wounds
Shattered seeming whole
Dissipating pain
Smothering the soul



Days harden the heart
Nights blinding the eyes
Crumbling around it
All that's left alive



Continues to hurt
Continues to cry
It keeps asking why
But none does reply



In daylight its life
In darkness it fades
In eternal gloom
It trembles afraid



Beyond all mourning
Wreathed in broken dreams
In past scars hidden
Drowning in deceit



It sees its own end
Melancholic sight
Such its pain to bear
A path paved by blight



Woe screams it
Death it calls
A dead soul
Unable to fall

Smothered

The acrid air, it snuggles close
A swift corsair, upon sea morose
Man falls victim, to distant stares
Weeping wisdom, that he fails to bear



Questions brought, in time passing
Forgone his lot, to a future he must bring
In nightly shade, fate is found
Amidst a rain, wherein tears are drowned



Looking back, the sun dipped west
Horizons stretch, to build a nest
He sees his cage, of freedom made
In his rage, He quivers and quakes



Confused a man, lives on in life
Till found his past, in the future left
End draws near, as day unto night
Led by shadows, a blinding light



Found are answers, in the final page
Too far gone, beyond the edge
In crumbling earth, bone turned to dust
Judgement and worth, clear as glass



Through existence, seeks he a high
Blinded by mist, built selfmade lies
Swims on, the will against rain
The heart, its fight against pain



Craving strength, seeking a shield
The soul craves, as the heart does feel
Faith rears, a call sharp and clear
Yet it smothers, under a storm of fear
