Sin
runs cold down skin
rends through bones
yet binds us like kin
held like precious stones

We
ruin all we touch
with hands scrubbed clean
down to the rind
still soaked in crime

God
bound by his rule
stays in somber sleep
though weeps for the day
when our ashes spawn green

Cry
to ears stone deaf
and eyes gouged out
that wanders the earth
til day's reckoning

Yet
hope shines through
meek and radiantly
gently through the cracks
of guilt-stained hands

Spiral
Through the swirling drink
The night paints the ocean dark
Like the void
Of sand and stars

Lost
Nocturnal shards of love
falling softly upon the sea
Singing a silent melody
Fading into dawn

Jade
The vast ocean
Like lush brilliance
Of forest fresh
Brimming with life

June
The world divine
The summer shade
Balmy life anew
Tail of my mermaid true

Forgiveness begged by the tongue
Beseech we of the sky
Yet no reply from among
Those with eyes now dry

What say you now, Sariel?
Who spoke of love eternal
Thine words now come to heel
Life wanders from times vernal

I've never felt
A heart so true
A spirit just
Burns of fire anew

Then she knew was haze
From life's dismal ache
Deep seated pain
Cast from Sorrow's wake

Fly, crimson goddess to seas
That kisses shores shallow
That grant you your dreams deserving
Tis a soul most hallowed.

Dead of night
Tempest fierce
Eyes glassy with haze
From the arctic pierce

Days have gone
On this road traversed
Time’s forward march
The unsung verse

A journey just
A mission true
A failed attempt
To reach love anew

Evermore doth he lay
On stone road cold
Evermore doth he dream
Of the hands he’ll hold

The Siren speaks
With speech of satin
Blessed by cerulean skies
A fire within her soul

Runs she through cold of night
On string she spins a melody
Euphony floats through endless skies
Drifting to far away times

Skin and eyes of earthen shade
With a gaze like winter deep
She, the meaning of strength come alive
Her fears; the love she keeps inside

Along the rocks and waves she resides
Glowing brilliance of which she shines
