Beauty's End

Something is chewing at my feet ..

Blood soaks the rug as it takes nourishment.

My life will be just a stain.

A stain in the shape of a fallen man,

a starfish, a galaxy...

We all fall to the stars, heroes in our own worlds,

and hear the songs the quasars sing....

While our mortal remains

Lay like fallen, bloody Tree Stars,

Rotting back to earth

Sorrow

Have you seen the mourning Light,

When moon shadows fall around?

Light will sit, rocking, weeping

For another day is lost.

Long suffering

Bearing despair,

Each night,

Every night

For evermore.

For a friend

Shadow

Once again the incredible art of @OmandOriginal provides inspiration for this old Wolf

I looked in a mirror,

All I could see

Was something that

I used to be …

Once upon a distant past,

Half in shadow.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow I enter the gates of Hell,

I doubt I shall ever return.

Oaths and promises made

Lie broken on the floor.

I am judged to be incomplete,

So must be made anew.

I don’t conform.

I don’t believe.

I question all,

Each and every answer.

I am not fit,

In any sense to teach, reform or aid.

Into Hell I shall go,

To fight,

To live,

To survive.
