I feel you
My love
If I let my mind linger long enough
I can feel you
Your frizzy curls
And whiskers tickling my cheeks
The warmth of just a smile
Kissing my core
In the way of the butterflies
I am set free

This loneliness
It kills me
Song after song
Reminding me that all love slaughters in the end
And this deep depression
The one that I have found a home in
Is better than what lurks for me
When your finished with this madness of mine

The dark wood swallowed me alive
Trees
Black after black
Crying lifeblood in the name of the wicked
The stars glaring down at you
Reflecting the eyes of the hunting owl
Following the lost though the forest of memory
He waits
Until you breathe your last breath
And take your last step
It is then that you too become a hollow

These images
That sparks words of pen
Are not only ones that I hold as photograph
But memory
Memory in which I live every night as dreams overtake me
Lands of death and magic
That fade intro the unknown with the dawning of the sun
But as the clouds come
The night reveals pieces of itself to my eyes
With the light of day
I only see things of this world
And my home becomes lost
Until once again darkness overtakes my soul

Did your life stop
Did you rest in the end
Or are you lingering here
Within purgatory
Rising from the maw of hell
Locked under the ceiling of the real world

Sometimes I look at you
And it seems but a dream
In those moments
I do not know your soft face
But remember it
From within forgotten sleep
And as I did then
I become lost in your ocean eyes
Never wanting to resurface

The spirits awaken
As we dance to the sky
The fire
Bursting into the night
Sparks
Floating into stars
Igniting the forests into life
