Liberated

Look back into time,
watch the marble buildings crumble.

Dust of lively past
floats in empty air.

Skies of ash gray and neutral
diminish faces in dying fire.

Even though reality is gone,
the deeper soul is liberated.

There is invisible song
like nothing ever before.

Memories of all wash into one,
glory rises from the ashes...

And dulled eyes from above finally sparkle.





Untitled


On the road to nowhere,
going into a dwelling darkness.

Branches block the light,
thorns make the crimson escape.

The truth of coldness pulses
through the night of air.

Dark questions and tainted love
haunt the intertwined souls.

Hung in familiar atmosphere,
demons only some can set free.

Beautiful sorrow burns at the heart,
covered by a mask again.

Sank into the abyss
of a small glow . . .

Alone, wandering, but yet
going somewhere.
