Songs of Power

Songs Of Power (Lost As Blackness Invades) Where the agony invades life seems in blurs, And the long nights eat the fruited trees, And later, night dreams stalk barking curs Where blue-red tides overcome futile pleas. Across infinite space--thoughts dreaded And blood-lust seeking new infesting homes, Deeper into darkness the Soul is headed against its will- the mind wickedly roams. Bright roses once bloomed in this castle dark, Violets arose to soon die in vanished splendor Where shadow raced to eat resting meadowlark, Bound and chained heart goes with its sender. Sorrow alights- in its ebony spreading cloak, as storms slash across the turbulent seas, Speared in the chest and rotting shaft broke cried for and nothing found to appease. No relief! Falling stars batter forsaken mind, fiery reds cover vanishing jungles greens Life in its mysteries, finds room to be unkind as purple hearts- grace such melancholy scenes! Death of innocence, once dark strain all too real jungles evergreen, turn to exploding red, Where death invades, soldiers always ready to kill, war and its eternal darkness, await the dead. While man thus cursed, seeks illusionary gains! Darkness cast forth from Souls feeling no pains! 11-08-2015 For contest- Songs Of Power Song chosen- Paint It Black - Rolling Stones:
