Stagnation

To those who subsequently saved my life

Drowning in a stagnant pool
Of my own filth; I'm such a fool
Like wolves and rabbits in a duel
To hope I could be free.

I can only barely breathe
My thoughts spin round me like a wreath
And darkness has begun to seethe
I've lost my drive to be.

I used to howl in honest pain
And, battered by the driving rain,
I'd beg of Nature to explain
But that was not for me.

I'm suffocated by a heat
That Satan's flames could scarcely meet
Of guilt and loss, an unfair cheat;
I'm now too blind to see.

I cry for water, light, a star
I'm trapped inside this damned bell jar
And none can see but from afar
The tortured soul that's me.

Torpor

As I lay in dreamless sleep
Beneath a clear and artless sky
The demon Apathy did creep
Too close, and breathe a hungry sigh
He bared his claws and burrowed deep
Into my soul; I could not cry

I wakened to a stale day
The tepid air beheld no thrill
The sky was colourless and grey
My mind felt overused and ill
I felt my faith dissolve away
My body was devoid of will

I come to you on bended knee
I come because I cannot care
Just wrench this demon out of me
This numbness is too cold to bear
I'm drowning in a codeine sea
I'm breathing anesthetic air

A Bedtime Story


Nighttime drifted through my hands
Spilled at my feet like coloured sands
Entwined with silver moonlit strands
It stained my fingers red.

I threw a fistful high above
It landed on a morning dove
Who withered like a fool in love
And fell upon me, dead.

My nighttime fragments fluttered down
Rustling sweet nighttime sound
Where evil, lust and dread are found
And innocence has fled

Resurrect
I will raise my eyes unto the sun
And gaze within a fragile blue
Water and fire will then be one
Where light within can burn anew

The desert heat burns mist away
A revelation to the sky
Let shadowed prayer bring on the day
An echo soft, a hollow cry

A brittle shell confines my soul
And beauty will not free my mind
But in the moment morning stole
I'll leave my body far behind.

A lifetime trapped within a land
Imprisoned where my soul grows lame
And now set free in heat and sand
Eternity has called my name.
