Poem
A heart of stone left to drown Floats as light in dark Waves deliver to screaming winds Upon the sandy shore Babes of dark, line the edge Changed beyond belief North winds sweep the sand away My soul within a nimbus flies Chasing dark to day Oh alone, alone am I Within this liar's den Two hundred million and 40 thieves Chipped away a wall of stone This mask I made to wear Crack it won’t, I hope to bear The weight of world's aligned As light broke darkness The darkness breaks my light Scattered pieces of my heart Which star left to follow In spite, the rock was torn to shreds Left alone on haunted shores As fog rolls in, my mind controlled The daemons in me call A magnet for the darkness The silver of the moon Marked am I with webs of sorrow Mirrors of their maker Scarred am I with memories Left as time goes on A bullet through the heart Death as swift as life My dawn is now my dusk My head can only rise Rage abounds through odyssey As I too fall like Troy Burning oil to stave them off I hear the daemons call As lively as the walking dead I heed their whispered cry The raven follows overhead Quoting never more No more am I lost or found No more am I no one Lost among iniquity Sold my soul for traitors A stab to the back, slicing legs and wrists My blades first kiss As black as white Stoking fire beneath my skin Extinguished by the floods Trailing tattoos of morbid red A melancholy smile A little mandrake in my blood To slow a human heart The wind it whistles through my veins Ice a cautery Cold am I to touch The fire within me burns Blank my face remains Strong against the raging tides Angry clouds they fight Strong against the whole damn world Fight but never flight For iron is in the water Currents drawn to me None can hold me back My head can never rise
