Nocturne

You are the ticking
Of every clock winding
Down to the hours crying
For the one final
Moment splinter
Marking 'xactly
The leaping cadence
Of my heart raging
Longing the finite
Brewing of days
Distilled in drops
Of thought washed
Away by your turning
From thought to flesh
And bone and hugs
And kisses pouring.

At the end of the day.

Crossroads

Sometimes
the burden of liberty
weighs heavier
than the burden of peonage

What if the debt has been settled
in the tumult of the past?
Will the peace of the now
lay still and remember?

Why, pray tell in this so-called freedom
did I find more bondage
and misery and weeping?
Why this chafing amidst release?

Is there a secret in the happiness of men?
Is it hidden in the furrows
of the scholars brow,
or the folds of the reverend’s stole?

For I was traversing
a road that lay straight for miles ahead
never noticing the cross
spreading its wings beneath me

And lo, from within
rose my anger like brimstone
from the mouth of Erebus
and fleeing my rage I fell
in this crevasse of despair

and there there was silence
and longing
and anger still

and wanting nothing of the world.

is this wrath a righteous will of God
or a travesty of man?
is it my redemption or perdition?

Is this the cross where the Messiah died
or the cross where the Devil lied?

I need answers

before this chasm closes around me.

Water Wheels

Beyond the great unknown that lay
     Before the whisp'ring evening chill
From out this blackness someone hums
     a lonely hymn that lulls the hills

          and lulls the hills
               and lulls them still

This soul oft stayed up late at night
     To write and hum of love and zeal
As moonlight filters through the leaves
     and rivers turn the water wheels

          and turns the wheels
               and turns them still

But Azrael brought to a halt
     The squeaking of his busy quill
and ink that splattered on the floor
     Shall summon bells to toll and peal
          
          to toll and peal
               and toll on still

For out beyond the great unknown
     Before the nights that froze and chill
A soul departs to hum the hymn
     His song of love beyond the hills

          beyond the hills
               and yonder still

And he shall write of love no more
     His quill and paper on the floor
For love has long since gone before
     and life from him forevermore
          
          forevermore          
               forever still

As prone he lay upon the floor

          all cold and stiff
               and colder still

As rivers turn the waterwheels

          and turns the wheels
               and turns them still

Ode To a Dying Flame

Sweet departure from departing
from this song without a name
let me serenade the moment
and exalt this dying flame.

for a fleeting time rekindle
embers for ye fairest dame
as i pause to mark the passing
of this gently ebbing flame.

sound the bells of contradiction
drown the hopes which ne'er came
let me ponder now the meaning
of this evanescing flame.

and to swear this moment onward
days will never be the same
for e'enthough the flame hath died out
in my heart writ is thy name.
