When waters run through thine soul
A strike
The chilling toll
These cosmic bells
You will know
No more of flames
-flames and shadows-
Keep up this rant, this banter
And burdens will be wrought by work's end
-------------------------------------------------------------
Factions
Refraction of deeds
Yet done
-------------------------------------------------------------
Deny all
-yes-
You are weary and faithless…
-rest-
Here-forth you shall not receive
-------------------------------------------------------------
With waves or resonance impeded by void
Voice had no presence
This burden of silence
Conveyed
Deployed
-------------------------------------------------------------
What appears before me
In mirrored lens' light
Captured in crystalline restraint
Arrested
In time
Funneled through and focused
On despair and loss of rite
-------------------------------------------------------------
Spite does have no malice
In the singularity of the night
-------------------------------------------------------------
One last confession on betrayal's revenge
I've not the disposition
Of overwhelming desire
Turn plague on one's existence
Instead portend
And thus inspire
A call to arms
Raise high the seal
And journey onward
Eternally
Unburdened with silence
