Sehnsucht

A fleeting glance, this subtle mirror,
reflecting the searing light;
stark realization, that base error,
Now on our heads doth smite.

Searing us from the outside,
Subliming from the inside,
Frothes forth this purple rage-
Suffusing our scarred visage.

Wounded now on the inside and out,
Laughing, at this divine rout!
Reach out, life flashes before me;
The end is here but i'm not sorry...

Nein, countless discourses till the day was done;
You've slipped through, and now you're gone.

Treasure
(can be sung to the tune of Fireball Ministry's Flatline)

Dead are arisen;
Never forgotten!
Sands that have fallen,
Reshaped and hardened!

So it seems that you came to me from the sky,
Rekindled the flame I thought had died...
Now it seems that you're already going away;
Will you remember me some distant day?

5 years of difference;
Enduring remembrance!
Emboldened obeisance,
Divine deliverance!

Is it true that nothing has really changed,
Is it why I'm feeling so strange?
Tell me why I can't wait to see you again,
Shield me from the pouring rain....

Five years, so dear,
Recalling too!
Once more, no more,
Remember you...

The Fallen 10

Relishing the Pain
This poisoned dagger
We plunge through the rain
Reaching for the jugular

The puzzle pieces shift
sliding beneath our feet
Now this aligned rift
Calls us our maker to meet

Thus it opens it's gaping maw
Bringing the terrors of our mind
The universal law
We find it not unkind

City Dream

Walking
down this marbled mosaic
pathway jagged and smooth
wreathed of the flowers of age ever-

Gazing
behind this glass terracotta
roiling, distorted opacities
under cleansing shower sit there-

Reminiscing
of serene dilapidations and
Tall, grimed walls
scars on the gnarled tree that hangs-

Watching
the torrential cavalcade
drumbeats of wheels and feet
pounding, drowning the noise of us-

Screaming
against the choking spaces
of air-conditioned hearts and screened faces
slide past like silouhettes,

Returning
to the concrete monoliths
grated, barred cells in a directory
easing into fatigued rest we begin...

Dreaming

Cruel Time

When the past comes rushing,
We sit here laughing;
At our base fallacies,
And our nonexistent legacies.

When the past storms arouse-
Searing the fires we do not douse,
Picking up the jug we find it dry,
Immolating then, to laugh or cry?

So the present comes hurtling on,
Beautiful moments are come and gone,
Leaving only the gnawing pain,
The Pestiference that drives us insane.

So the present is tumbling down,
We arise and depose our own crowns-
Better to run to the hills instead
And cower from the inimitable raids...

Look to the future for some hope,
The erstwhile painkiller, this dope,
Soothing our livid corpuscles;
While they are rotting away double.

Look to the future, see it vanish,
See the cracks in the glossy varnish-
Hell is cometh, my good dear sirs,
Hell that our own idiocy doth stir...
