#something-dark
Through blurry dreams of vivid ebony. Of crimson red that escape my mem’ry. The old hand of time has taken its toll, In a world of dreams that wish to console. With the passing of a clandestine star, Whose dazzling silver lights just seem too far. The transcendence of a thousand comets, Are as beautiful as a sun that sets. Overhead, a deep and calming sky blue, A sign of life that shall now breathe anew. Outcast and in exile, the vagrant weeps, A soft silent whisper as Zephyr sleeps. For stars that age, that once shone so brightly, Dimming grandeur though ever so slightly. Woe to he, lost in this sad serenade, Her beautiful face, her pitiful shade.

Requiescat in Pace, Arrivederci
Pity naught the fool who stood agape at the mouth of the abyss, Who henceforth became a delirious, demented ******* For very few are those who return from the precipice Left with scars  that are all but a trifle. ‘Tis not fire that burns, that brings about anguish. ‘Tis not rain that drowns, that brings about pain. A sanguine dullard will forever seek to diminish What a benighted scholar will endeavor to sustain. Hath thee the prudence To discern the ciphers In the deafening silence? In the earsplitting whispers? The fiends, Their eyes Of sordid coal Conceal the truth Of what they are after. Their forlorn cries beseech the soul With venom as clear as polished lacquer.

Folie à Deux
In my mind's eye I see the vast expanse of the abyss as it looms ever closer into conscious reality. Something dark, ancient, and sentient, awaits in disturbed slumber to bring about chaos to the world. Its tendrils reach out to envelop the sky darker and darker still until all that remains is its very presence. And when the hour is at hand the darkness fades into the earth and sleeps until the harrowing cycle begins anew.
