Oh dear lord!
Let her cry a million tears of molten gold
Until the earth consumes , in her bosoms, her faltered soul.
Flames getting high as they could
But clustered within great despair
Was the heart that couldn't move
She felt the earth crush beneath her feet
As the crevices shattered
Broken beyond repair
The moment had come
For the reckoning
The numb creature loomed over it
Rushed to provide it some shelter
But it would not be subdued
The freedom was now it's only refuge
Neither the being
Nor the heart
Could conjure up some solace
One , cause it hadn't the heart
The other , as it wasn't supposed to.

-Nights wake-
The night is dead. Longs for absurdity, what’s left is a heart of fire.
The abomination of the fallen. Serotonin left astray. Beg for the long-lost magnum opus. Tear apart Librium. Sheer lust of the requisite. Where are we now?
Deprave the senses. Blind from touch, brail inherently deemed moot.
My eyes close and I see the void. I open them to see the lie.
Tears stream down my face like rivers surface in the Sahara.

Enamored with desire
Genuine tug she felt
Cuddling sensual love
Till knock on the door
Startled her vision.
Reluctantly she awoke
Knowing why he came
As familiar vibrations
Announced his name
Sounding a warning
When harmony faltered
As the songbird missed
Its rhythm on purpose
Alerting her sanctity
To resume her dream
Opting veritable fantasy
Over spurious reality.

When doves faltered
and babies cried,
hence blood was shed
in the name of the Father,
as every mother's bosom
was purged of her child
grown to a man, only to die
defending his brother's religion,
whilst no human was spared the
wrath of wartime communion amid
contradictions of holy water's delusions

His words falter and flail
They shatter across the pavement
Fear raises itself and resolves itself
To see itself as only foolish hope
Confusion’s fetters clamp on to him
And pride impales itself to quickly march
With his complex morality into battle
The mind follows the crippling chaos
And reaches for falling shelves of memory
And each loses itself in the spiralling floods of life
While soldiering on into the night
