Roses and Razor Blades
Sometimes we're sacrificed to rooms void of light
to the caw of the crow and the scent of the night
Silk of the mind, breeched by snakes -chains of cold
moment by moment they peck away at the soul.
Roses and razor blades strewn on the ground
gifts have been given to help figure it all out
There are dark entities sent to devour you
and angels commissioned to buffer the blue.
Blessed light poking through blackening veins
cherish warmth like drought does a cool rain.
Take your sledgehammer soul shatter the shroud
it may take a few blows, but it'll surely come down.
Gather up the roses leave the razors behind
pay homage to angels-step gently into the light
harvest sweet honey from the silenced hive
embracing the grace of birdsong-shinning on.
