No One Knows What The Dead Think - Dagger Before Me

Bronzed bark peels
And shatters
Where dark outlines contour canopy falls

Changed as I step through
The marrow
Tangled branches, split, interlink

Phantom
Connect
Hurt

What replaced your cell
Was shadow
Branches silhouette - cast to the same ending

Wet sand can't drain
Lacquered
With sudden hush shortened by degrees

Phantom
Connect
Hurt

Dabbed with ash and returned in tears
Flush with
Emotions

All the lights know your name
Their words to you are rehearsed

Distinct
Against
The dusk
Is awe

Do you keep missing minutes
In the fugue of amnesia
Glanced - in passing
Meaningful enough
For your bitter loss Открыть страницу с текстом

Detach my shadow
Reload movements repeating
Dead stumps of memory

Revenants outlive - moments
Until we take their shape

Corseted with a virus
Mission belief purpose
Bird song
Aban-don string

Find your place in silence
The starlight - vacuum black

Memories, fade
Regrets, pain
Colors, linger
And time, time stands still

I fight for nothing
My light is pure hatred
A fire exhausted,
Through breathing coals
Spore of blood,
Lead
The lick of the flames utters,
Ashes that find their way
To burn Открыть страницу с текстом

The ghost returns to the corpse
Eyes shudder with saccadic tremors
A dagger before me
The stigmata does not show

Contrails fall to target
Embers of debris throw shadow
A dagger before me
Reflected at itself

The music stops
The memories end
The last notes ring out
One dead step past

Cinder tinged wreckage
In re-entry comes apart
A pattern of falling stars
Collapsing dead aeons Открыть страницу с текстом

Provisioning drain
Circuitry of extraction
Trapped in cancer
Obsessed illusion

Rapacity of carnage exceeds tolerance
Thoughtless abuse practiced rape
Supervised extraction suits voracious interests
That sap the blood from the Earth's heart

The spine of a prolonged delusion
We are controlled by unseen terror Открыть страницу с текстом

Fire control systems - wired to belief
The constant snap of banners moving upstream

Please don't hold me
I'm just a copy of a corpse
A rutted leer that plays
Ash that becomes snowfall

The dusting of frost, that covers precious sutures
Connecting me to a life that never was

Please don't hold me
I'm just a copy of a corpse
Listlessly gathering
Broken things and putting them
In rows

Fires deepen the blighted shadow
Tainted bluff corseted with debris
Jutting margins imposed by failed attempts
The message simply repeats and repeats Открыть страницу с текстом

A blood black nothingness began to spin
To dream, to feel, but not be alive
Minute-to-minute
Black box has stopped
A copy in a body - remembering
Undying

Rewritten by consuming worm
Replayed history scrubbed from RAM
Inseparable from the construct
Embedded with just enough to kill (for)
A copy in a body remembering
The tall grass of a open field
A robin
That wants to become an egg

To shed neither, blood nor tears
A doll's futile doubtlesness
The abhorrent blood stained
The blade an umbilical
Let this curse cling to you
Like a devoted mother
Do you love me?
I was created, to adore you

Corpses should be left...well alone Открыть страницу с текстом

Grief is etched in moments
End life event hor-izon
Born from a curse
A place no one(else) can reach

Lost inside this anger
Was it to hold someone?
The ocean moves inland
The ocean takes

Snow falls at dusk
Sayaka must become a witch
Another leaf broken
Off naked branches

An anguish spread to others
Swiss movements berserk
Loss becomes madness
In your heart I'm invisible

Never freed from a past - the
Relentless sheet of tears
The full weight of sadness
The only memory

Grief is etched in moments
End life event hor-izon
Born from a curse
Fate cannot be changed Открыть страницу с текстом

Wake with tears in my eyes
Are wishes carried through - reincarnations

When I was a different man?!
Past life contours disintegrating

Light on the skies cinch grey to blue
Hours to seconds
Separate by years

Dilated fibers, seconds become days
Splinters of color - away from the braid

Farther and farther away
Further and further apart
To shadow who aren't the same
In a place that is or never was

Broken leaves
Drape a still pond
The cold air fills me
Without the

Fires
Stars

Black box
Killing you shares this fate
Permanently attach
Desaturated emotion
Becoming lost
For things I loved
This presence
Berserk

Grief outlives you
The unmistakable voice of anger

The witches tower
Connecting interlinks
The pure white
Starkly distinct
Fire flows across
Breaking ocean waves
Quietly and alone
I clench the ache

Gazes are dropped
Splashing red in grey
There is only pain
In the numbing Открыть страницу с текстом
