The volume of your silence is blinding
until radiating light permeates my soul
to race through timeless epochs
in deafening exploitations of innocence.
Lighter than aurora's dew,
glass walls surround you.
Piercing anguish constricts my breath
To bring ambrosial, gracious death.

Velvet skin and cornsilk hair,
I convinced myself that you'd care.
Screaming whispers through time and space,
I've dropped out of the human race.
The pain that seeps into my core,
a laceration of logic and lore.

 A golden red halo and bright hazel soul
pulls you toward ecstasy untold.
Searing wavesof boiling fears
call upon King Triton's tears.
Ripping apart the strongest hull,
Under the sea, the currents pull.
I stand nearby on a desert isle,
and penetrating within begins a smile.

 Stone wings beat against kaleidoscopic winds,
straining against the pulsating twilight.
Granite guardians brood and weep,
baring their steel in the dance,
 bequeathed the precious boon of one last chance
to reclaim melodious blood drenched innocence.
