Death

As the  phantom consumes
the chaos from my soul
desperate hands
pull me to the grave,
i lay there numb and cold
the earth now has my bones

The Coming Knight

Longing consumes me
As my heart beats with fervor
For my noble knight...

For a day passes
Slowly until the night comes,
Yielding him to me.

Turning Hate Into Love

Hate consumes,
worms through our brains,
wasting time
best spent elsewhere;
Energy
should be deployed
on peaceful
things bringing
love to all.

Threnody For Baghdad

Sleepless in my room,
The sound of constant thunder
And a ceaseless wind;
Even the stars are weeping
As vengeance consumes the sky.

Nature would testify,
this unbreakable union
as it consumes the fresh fragrance
of our love-making,
raining down passion 
and bodies left with a legacy.

Two mighty boats beached
End of voyage reached
Captains’ judgement call
Rust consumes them all
Run aground and caught
Well-laid plans for naught

The immense of despair unfurls
The inevitability of sorrow consumes the universe
In the shadows anguish and agony lurks

in search of nightly spirits

in midst of panic
a shriek of fright as one falls
the darkness consumes his soul

When an Angel Weeps

When an angel weeps,
a star must fall
to carry the warning
and answer the call.

To capture the flame 
before it consumes.
Or let it engulf us
In silence and ruin.

Light Consumes Itself

Wax core
bleeding its heart
feeding flame with its own flesh
inside a cold, ungrateful room
slain, so the dark stays warm.

The State

The problem seeks to end us.
To show its fangs.
To show its wrath.
In the end no blood was spilled.
No rips.
Nor tears.
Only a quite sombre.
As the Problem consumes us all.
