A deafening roar swirled in the air.
A cloud of black smoke hanging where  
fear and despair drowned
against a vile, contemptible act.
The cruel pellets swept over them like hail
Savage, bitter, broken.

The dead moved in sorrowful silence,
the last trace of their labour gone.
The solemn booming of victory
lost in sacred soil.
Destroyed.

s.a

the setting sun
blushes
with the secrets
of the universe

and gives birth
to a transparent night
that turns

like a silent mill
grinding out stars
-s.a

We were tangled in a blanket of lost moments
And asleep in a bed of fluttering feelings
The sound of our beating hearts was an insomniac's lullaby
The words screaming out everything we would never say

When the lights went off our souls went to foreign territories
Where thoughts dripped with contradictions
And wandering souls flirted with danger
Night after night, forgotten dreams spilled into a world too big for sleep.
-s.a

The dark night filled the air and wrestled her down out of sight. Holding her captive in a place where silence filled the shadows with loneliness and memories was the sea that swallowed her whole.
