Unchambered

In the chambers dying salted wounds slowly weep looking through the keyhole beholding darkness touching cold chilling bites teeth snarling growls within ache an animal of pain Fingers of ice slither over one's soul shivering the timbers feeling worthless grabbing out gasping for light clutching aimlessly at straws A godless affliction inside empty suffering cries wishing upon a star believing on beauty on a cold dark night growling murmurs within oneself whispering in voices carried on the wind Finding comfort in sadness a fragile presence exists in an empty vessel moonlight the host where shadows hover clouding judgement hides the light of the sky smiling through clouds haunted visions creep inside shadows fears are realized Distorted images dead mirror images a chilling sacrifice of blood gripping at the heart of beauty cries a ghost suffering reaches out strangely guarded in nightly whispers clothed in grey rising out of the night A reaper's knuckle echoes heavy on chamber's door of mansion or mausoleum knocking down the entrance to heaven and hell a heart attacked fever rising chills subsiding back and forth visions delirious Running from a nightmare to capture a dream holding hope in fingers of the imprisoned soul once washed away in despair's tears a stain of belief lingered carried along on wings of the wind Hidden in shadows waiting to whisper painful voices masking truth cloaking beauty hollow thoughts burn and scar healing as time itself passes away peaceful slumber now overtakes inner nightmares Under lasting moonlight the stars keep promises wishes granted as dreams come alive dark clouds parting the pathway home heaven's winds sail the vessel rising upon crystal waves of white fleeing the chains to freedom turning silver key opening eternity's glow clear light beautifully blinding Written by: Liam McDaid & Kelly Deschler

Thanks so much, Andrea! This is the third collaboration between Liam and I. He is so kind and a joy to write with... I have not been around much these days. I'm just not in the mood to write, I guess...
