Sapphire stones, like little stars, shine.
Coal clouds form a webby design.
Dusts of light, with darkness, entwine.
Amidst red-black color flake
Waves of heavenly seas break.
The sun has gently gone to bed.
Bloody rays of the red moon spread.
Twilight, into rainbow shades, shred
Jet black kraits crawl around clouds.
Puzzles muse over dim shrouds.
Elephantine hills lay lazy.
Nocturnal creatures go crazy.
Environs seem as though hazy
While banks of rivers darkle
Water surfaces sparkle.
Amidst makeshift night's sluggish sigh
Cherubim fly about the sky.
Sleepy nightingales bid goodbye.
Silhouettes of flora dance.
As the breeze is in a trance
Angelic solemnness pervades.
Amidst the dead of night's black shades
Dewdrops decorate the grass blades.
I feel an unknown romance.
Spreading her mystical glance
... alleluias sound all around...
a lonely guy accompanied by the harsh winds of life,
a guy that is always possessed by others
a guy that is always standing outside in the rain,
a guy that is always given a worthless answer to his questions in life
finding his solemnness in his wine
finding his fortitude of band of brothers past
finding only the moment in life
finding only the future so bleak and pointless
a lonely guy of solitude in his breath
a lonely guy with a heart of a forgotten melody of life
a lonely guy of broken dreams and broken tears
a lonely guy of a shattered life
a lonely guy... still a boy
I have a voice… going unheard
As loud as a deathening silent
I have from a thousand but one word
Will someone listen to reason?
Why and when was my life decided?
To have an idea but impossible to achieve
Wasn’t money I earned provided?
Yet by standards I’m unable to receive
Do I need qualifications to be free?
But I see obtaining it as part of a program to be controlled
If I’m stupid or perhaps smart enough to be
I choose otherwise if not otherwise only I know…
I am no stranger to loneliness
Losing my family and friends is a matter of time
What troubles me is unfounded solemnness
And how only by division I was made left behind
I have a voice… going silent
As loudly as I hear… goes unheard
To understand I haven’t the qualifications only my reasons
Amounts as much a thousand without a single word

Solemnness craves a giddy smile to pass through the day.
Soothsaying speaks in colors of grey.
Dreams become words through sunsets & moons.
While solitude brings thunderstorms of lightening & gloom.

solemnness no longer reigns all day
storm has lifted, leaving love in its wake
