Slow falls the gentle smile
and nevermore settles to eyelash light
In humbled sorrow
of now lentissimo rhythms of burdened heart
too sad to utter a moments tear
that wanders petulant on a distressful cheek
I care not says the resolve of whimpering eyes
and to falsify the endeavors of strength
carries this weeping soul
embraced in thunderous acclaims of a wretched throat
Drown myself in weighted parchments
for no voice can repeat this riotous rancour
undisputed without complaint
for life is ever cruel it seems
Slow falls the gentle smile
and evermore settles sluggish on loves intent to dissipate
Within this grey stain assails a violent storm
I rest upon the cold stone of calm
to conquer this agony
for no-one
Slow falls the gentle smile
never willing to relinquish illusions hope
or admit to the the apparitions of despair
but you cannot walk away from the indefatigable spike
their driven nails disparity
obscure Prometheus stop this beating heart
