By and By

Dark is the night
In faith's lost light


Deep is the daze
In this dark maze


Sleep brings no rest
In crazy fest


Empty the feel
In lusty thrills


Gone far away
Surreal end play


Lost in lost tense
Heavy lost sense


Drifting with tides
Of crested pride


Sorry sad sights
In loss of light


Pride peoples form
In murky norms


Too late this brief
Of gloomy grief


The way is blocked
By empty stock


Endless the moans
Of dying groans


Strange voices hurl
As madness swirls


No escape then
From where and when


Even death shuns
Our failing grunts


Time now for time
Mad echoes chime


Love cannot reach
Where nightmares beach


By and by now
Hope fades somehow


Nothing to feel
But empty deals
