The Voiceless Man

“Woe to you,” cried the voiceless man,

“For I have beheld the breaking of the world,

And drank fast the tears of fallen Gods.”

 

“Woe to you,” laughed the voiceless man,

For the doom I forebode is the wrath of silence,

And you shall bathe alone in anguish,

Dreaming for yet, a reprieve from sorrow.

 

“Woe to you,” proclaimed the voiceless man,

For all things are fleeting, and every

martyr is in flux.

 

I have placed a curse upon the

heart of every angel, and made

passionate love to my despair.

All grace has died in me.
