Words of songs: Lilium
And so he cleared his throat and sang, a voice clear as crystal yet deep like the darkest canyons.

The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom
And his tongue shall speak judgement
Blessed is the man who endures temptation
For once he has been tried
He shall receive the crown of life
Oh Lord, oh Holy Fire, have mercy
Oh how sacred
How serene
How benevolent
How lovely
Oh Lily of Purity

Lily, oh Lily of Purity..

Wander
A lost Drasnian merchant.
Blurring vision, tormented eyes.
A hand outstretched as a helpful gesture.
Midday sun behind, blotted by a figure.
A priestess from the grasslands of Algaria.
Aura of Belar, never stronger before.
A wide smile across her face.
Warm acceptance into the Wanderers.
A new beginning unfolds.

top

Cold
Cold winter
Hoping for the snow to melt
Cold morning
Tea freezing on the table
Cold shovel
Digging up the garden soil
Cold patience
Waiting for flowers to bloom

Will the Dryads answer
My weak silent prayer?

top

Pregnant
'Water from the Holy Tree,' she whispered.
'Dirt from the Oaks.'
The winds blew a merciless winter.
'She will bear no child,' her voice caressed.
'If you attempt to change this fate.'
The soils in the garden upturned.
'A son will be born,' she predicted.
'Only if you heed me.'
And so nine months went by.

The woman conceived.

Lilac
Lilac.
Intimacy entwined obsession.
Velvet lavender erotism.
Soft, naive and succulent.
An embossed desire.

top

Grey
Grey.
Gloomy discomfort, slick neutrality.
Subtle pleasure caught in the middle.
Blur thin line between good and bad.
Fake silvery feel.

top

Apart
Piece together a puzzle
Just to show that trace
This crumpled kingdom
Snow falling, piling high
Cold desecration remains
What have left has gone
Into the merciless wind
Into the chilling fog
What use is the light
Of a midday winter sun?

top

Meander
This journey whose path laid
Covered by sharp glass shards
Blood tainted muddy soils
Washed with tears of the used
Broken were the mindless
Torn were the unfaithful
Thrown to this dark silence
A reverie of pain

top

Hear
Silence is like despair
Drowning in icy cold waters
Muffled bubbles gurgling in the swirling darkness
Music is like hope
A divine song from heaven
Voices of angels singing hymns through the night
But observe and learn
For there is melody in the gurgling bubbles
And jarring noise in the voices of angels
Who are we to judge?
Once the orchestra is over, we clap and leave
For this is the theatre called Life

top

Solace
Seclusion, sad seduction
A frowning face in despair
Twisted by fate, fooled by life
Endless torment, velvet pain
Queen of love, oh where art thou?
Yearning, wanting, needing you
Your words mean joy and comfort
But you gave only sorrow

top

Stay
What happened to daylight?
From hence your beauty exudes?
What ended the moonlight?
From hence your darkness prevails?
Freedom from your jail of ice
Locked within your broken heart
When the shooting star scars the midnight sky
I will wish that you'd be mine

top

Wreck
Loneliness, a knife that carves deep
Cruelly leaving only emptiness and void
Thirst for the blood of a beating heart
Hunger for the flesh of solitude
Memory, a shattered image on the mirror
Concealed by truth, fading to blank
Never in grasp, still slipping away
The rest etched permanently upon the soul
Insatiable, the only remainder emotion
Thwarted by the sliver of Loneliness
Tortured by the contorted Memory
Insanity lurking around the corner

top

Rhyme
Dawn is a thief
It stole your sleep
Darkness brings gifts
From the graves deep
The moon yonders
Presumably
And you ponder
Limitlessly
The day breaks free
And the sun burns
You by the tree
When will things turn?

top

Where
Wounds gaping, blood gushing
Wet bandage, soaked thorough
But where is salvation?
Mind dwindling, eyes shutting
Consciousness, thin tendrils
Where is deliverance?
Fallen hard from favour
and stumbled down from grace
Light, Truth, Hope, where are they?
Gone like swift ruthless wind
Lost like shepardless sheep
On this meadow called Love

top

November
Gloomy storm blurred skies
In November's face
This deluge comes forth
With much nonchalance
The pitter patter
Footsteps and raindrops
Thundering black clouds
Sprawling overhead
Loneliness loves rain
They come hand in hand
Swift and relentless
Falling like raindrops

top

Red
Red, brimming might
Sworn to the blade
Red, tall brick walls
Separation
Red, blazing fire
Scarring the night
Red, agony
Seeing it now

top

Blue
Blue, sky's expanse
Clouds like street lamps
Blue, sapphire's lure
Clandestine gem
Blue, infinite calm
Cold reliance
Blue, tsunami
Calamity

top

First
Childlike innocence
Succumb to waves of passion
Tainted chastity

Forbidden pleasure
Broken like a fallen vase
Cracked virginity

top

Spiral Down
Despair is my name.
The eye of desolation.
Cities of burnt hopes.

I am the deceived.
Enthralled by your lies, so deep.
An endless chasm.

top

Strangers
Silenced emotions
The ice around us remained
Our cold solitudes
