Towering at the end of the earth, the swirl of afterimage and nothingness swallows me as I hatch

The prism of memory, felt in nakedness, steals the glow

Making not a sound, haunting me stealthily from the shadow

Welling malice…Negative breath veils me

[Time to end] [Here and now]

This remaining fragment of myself caught sight of you

‘I’ flow from the sea, personality and memories returning

Their transformation complete, my wings are a robust shield

The battle scrambles within me once more

[Time to end] [Here and now]

[Let your mercies come to me, that I may keep living] …for me

[Please, may the badness of wicked ones come to an end] …for you

For your salvation my soul has pined away

Sleeping inside a coffin of suffocating roses

Kissing your soul I press closer

[Time to end] [Here and now]

[Let your mercies come to me, that I may keep living] …for me

[Please, may the badness of wicked ones come to an end] …for you

I fall on my knees to pray

My soul does thirst for you

In truth perhaps my own past will never have mattered

If I am able to be with you again…
