Into the Realm of Ice.
Phantom icons scratched on sterile walls
Where your spirit wrestles in anguish
Strewn upon the floors are the shards of yesterdays mirror
You…once castigated to remain pure in innocence
That zealousness now interned weights your pockets
Dwelling on the erudition of the feminine laced in smoky eyes
This yen being overwhelmed in harsh radiant breaths
Remember those rogue's you hold in your heart reap the rewards of sin
Lost in your feigned paradise you sip of its bane nectar
While losing yourself in the cut edges of the prism
Bleeding from blades of glass in the ice on your lips smiling
You ascend into the onyx light that should be your rebirth
Entering that mulish carcass where reality has no bite
Eyes sewn shut to the fluid of heaven where life begins anew
Flashes of spirit create the moments of brilliance splashing
Down the bricked corridors in unending ever narrowing rending halls
The darkness invades and skulks the frozen mire you dwell
Whilst very near the lilacs circulate with the spring rains
As the breath rattles on in notes of gasping rapture
Their glib existence is lost in the passing of moments
