Voice of the shadow of beauty

Voice of the shadow of darkness



Shadows play

In my wilderness' mindscape

(they seek) 

One spiteful and wicked

One humble and meek

A windswept pale landscape

Of edified (thought) 

Two frictional forces

A triad have brought



Woven

A soft breeze whispers slowly

Within me

In the valley of my mind

The aerial mist sink falling

And its breath both foul and holy

Is like the deer to a dying hind

Slowly traversing the atmosphere

Calling



Wordless, yet in soul so true

Nameless, yet it lives in you

Shapeless like the purity of pain

Lawful when all fear is slain



One shadow of beauty caressing the flowers

The paleness of winter reflects in her eyes



Deity of stardom

Enticer of stardoom

So soft and so silent

Maternal - eternal

Serenity fades

Blinded by visions of sunlight

With the darkening of skies

Nocturnal



One shadow of darkness

A shade of deep hate

A wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze

In sheets of sharp silver

Laid youthful to die

Reborn into vengeance

Dark flames dance in grace

Dark flames dance in grace

In the grace of storms



One shadow of beauty

One shadow of darkness

Sailing free on the seas within my mind



Surging dark oceans

Perpetual waters

Creator of life

And reclaimer of (souls) 

Mother Ocean!

Watching the deep fjords uneasily moving

Whipping the white waves towards the cold air

Rising like swans in a scarred, sudden motion

A cascade of lost feathers

Adrift on the sea



Hark!

A serenade in the tongue of the wind



The sighs of the centuries, so sonorous in the bower

Hovering further athwart a leafy cower

A shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither

And therefore they chose to guide this time-wind hither



Alas, in tune with the tide of time

I was, but I'm not

Nor I'll be with its pride



Yes, aeons have flown

For I know time (but time is not eternal, their lifestars not immortal) 

A friend that I greet with open arms (setting souls can never) 

A brothersoul of deadly harm (pass through the pearly portal)

(No bliss be given) 

And joy (nor joy) 



Flowing down the gates of hell

Fire

I cry for you...

Don't spill your tears for me

But for your kit and kin

My scions of light?

Deprived of the lust and the treasure of pleasure

Which is the fuel for life

And glory



Silent your dark desires within entirety's light



Solitude

Sanctity

Sanctuary

Sanctum

Sanctum (tranquility)



Hear me

You who hold the fate of stars in hand

Before creation's eye I stand

My soul set free

In summerland



Mighty the strand of the universe

A chaosvoid tomb of dead worlds

Hark!

What?

Divinity flows in your heart

Cast it alight, the seed of all art

Slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind

Silent, you fool!

A cradle of roses

Embedded in stillness and shade

Silent, you fool!

Thine words are untrue

Remember Endymion's crestfallen tears

Serene art the gods, yet pain is their way

He touched by the heavens

His hellfire nears



A silent divinity, [..................]

Free now your heavenly body of air



Holding the fate of all life in both hands

Breathing life-force

Like gold made from sand



My winged steed of moonlight

Black stallion of thunder

We rode above the greenish earth

And tore the green asunder

But what you left bleeding

Destroyed a soulforsaken world

And your deeds of sharp silver

Decoyed a mindforsaken herd



A duet of shadow (a duet of shadows)

A duet of thoughts (a duet of thoughts)

Of beings we feed

With the dust of our thoughts

Residing within us

The two-fold wheel of life

Of insight created: a triad of jewels

(A thin leaf of the life-tree's truth)
