To Where The Road Leads

If you stroll by on a friday evening, You’ll find the park benches empty, The swings with a child or two, Silent, and sitting without speaking. . Around the corner, there’ll be men, And a few women playing chess, Silent and absorbed in their games, In their little club-like den. . Turning away you’ll see … Continue reading

‘Tween The Chambers Of The Heart

I am the everlasting nomad Who reaches out to lost souls Those neither sane nor mad, Whose hearts turn to stones. . I break through their solid walls, I enter their locked homes, I walk in their abandoned halls, I emerge from forgotten tomes. . I am all things good and great, I am all … Continue reading

The Soulbird

It comes flitting on window sill, It’s herald is a cry clear and shrill, Yet it stops it’s shreak on arrival, And perches silent and still. . Then it doth utter but one word, And only one inaudible word, A word I’ve barely heard, That keeps me aware of the bird. . And then it … Continue reading

Rescind The Urge

It rises up as a small quaint stir again, From the deepest recesses of my body, From behind the joy, sorrow and pain, Slowly making its way, till I’m ready. . To succumb to the call once more, As the desire grows, stronger, powerful, Unlike any that came before, All consuming it abounds plentiful. . … Continue reading

An Onyx Inspiration

/Still to be edited šŸ˜› (Inspired by the Raven – E.A.P) One night when I sat thinking, beside me the stars were twinkling, As if to hint they knew of the sorrow that I bore, Of the maiden who caused my sadness, drove me to madness, The one who left me barren, friendless, whom I’d … Continue reading

In the beginning there was none, And in the end there shall be none, An ‘tween these two there was all, Of which each has been her thrall. . ‘Tis ’bout the maiden of time I speak, For whether hour, day or week, We all lie within her inescapable grasp, In her cold and binding … Continue reading

Then The Dream Must End

After slipping into sweet undisturbed sleep, Succumbing to its honey-glazed power, There is something that doth run deep, With all that comes out within its hour. . In the form of dreams are these thoughts beheld, In the form of vague shapeless fantasies, In this land neither are morals nor laws upheld, A land where … Continue reading

With Cold Hands

A record of Borgir playing in the background, Thoughts of the apocalypse keep going ’round, Yet there’s something uneasy in the air, Like some vague sense of helpless despair. . Guided by the sinister music of awaiting death, I walk across the length of my room, and breadth, Viewing it with some solemn thoughts of … Continue reading

What Once Was

Hail, hail! TheĀ strength of man, Bring down the hopeless and wan, Feed and rise above them all, Throw off the darkness of the pall! . Celebrate the birth of might anew, Give into those tempting few, Who ask of favour of power, And all those obstinate devour. . In the darkest of night, See with … Continue reading

He Who Wandered

Seeking, seeking, searching, For something he once lost, Searching, searching, scouring, The lands of fire and frost. . On his loyal steed he roams, Earthly end to earthly end, With never crumbling hopes, Of discovery ’round the bend. . Hailing the northern star, As his guide, He roams wide and far, With heavy stride. . … Continue reading
