The beat of thy heart, Is Echo’d in mine. Beating doggedly still, Betwixt thorny vines. Out Blood whirls, An unending fount. From which unfurls, What passion wrought. The rage of mine heart, Against its cruel cage. Like a cornered hart, Unbowed by old age. From beneath sprout, New growth at last. Withered vines rout, Pain having past. A Garden now blooms, Radiant flowers beguile. Underneath a bright moon, Two hearts a joined wild.

The Beat of Thy Heart
A world has fallen Its principles abandoned Its people scattered to the wind Now only ashes remain, where once was prosperity Skittering haunts amongst the ruins Ghosts of men, sunken eyes Never to rise again They live here, in filth in squalor Knowing nothing of the Sun Its radiance has no place here Its warmth long forgotten Instead they play as Kings and Gods Blissful in their ignorance and want Empty as the world they inhabit Longing for purpose they could not comprehend These spirits are restless Anger fills their ethereal hearts They claw at a present unknowingly begotten The halls of the past marred with the signs of their fury Struggling for meaning lost to time forgotten Working now only with broken parts They wander eternal, deathless

Wraiths
I am broken, and I do not know why, I want to fix me, but I cannot try. What’s busted inside will not be fixed. Its pervasive and deep, like an old **** Though I pull and pull it will not heed. Sometimes emptiness cannot be nixed. My garden has grown dull and dreary, My hands and muscles long since weary. Though still I till my barren field. My skin darkened by the baleful sun, Though only small victories are won. Said work ensures my fate is sealed. From this labor my soul is chiral, As I toil onwards to the downward spiral.

An Angst-Filled Gardener
Settled upon on a Charred Throne In A Kingdom long since burned The Lord of Ashes waits alone His court forever adjourned He is adorned in ancient rags, His Crown a dying Ember. Waited upon by umber crags For a purpose none remember. He muses of ages since begotten And of clashes his blaze had won; He collapses into nothingness, forgotten Flakes fading one by one. The Phoenix King rises from his pit unabated His inner flame burning bright, having never truly faded.

What a Fickle thing a Heart must be For you to Treat is so Terribly

Haiku
I'm Sitting Here, on the Top of the tallest Peak in the world, and Now I'm just waiting for It all to come crumbling down Into nothing more than flecks of meaningless dust

Avalanche
A boy of fire rose from the earth And a girl of water fell from the sky And they thought “so long as we are together, Neither of us shall die” But then a tower of stone rose from the ground And the girl of water was cast down And into the earth her body did seep As the boy of fire weep Into  a mighty inferno he did alight To rise to the sky in a pillar of light And he demolished that tower of greed And in doing so had laid the seed For from the ashes rose a man With fiery flesh and a skeleton of sand A coat of water to seal him in A signal to all that this wasn't the end

They call me the Angel of the Pit, Abbadon, the Bringer of the Dark. About myself are few stories writ, My true form no mortal can hark. In this black abyss of pain I lie, Torturing sinners left and right. This hell is eternal, these sinners Shall't die, here in this absence of light. My domain, this pit, has no end, Yet it is full of sinners whose flesh I Must rend. Mankind's doom echoes off The walls, and yet to this hell more and More crawl. With this abundance of souls I can't Complain; It keeps a Demon busy! But the sheer evil of man, well, it Sometimes makes me dizzy! Hell Hounds teeth gnash their flesh, I erase their recollections' to keep the Pain fresh. For their Crimes they must Atone, it'd be a shame for me to be all Alone. And I'll wait for Your soul here, in my Pit that has no bottom, for the evil of Your society damns you, pity that you dwell in a modern *****

Abbadon - The Angel of The Pit
For those I cherish I die in glory. Surely I'll perish, but it will be quite a story. So come bring on all that you've got, I'll not move from this spot I'll fight and I'll bleed and my anger You'll see. You can be **** sure that when I die, I'm Taking You with me
