Crooked
Lights fade out,
(fade out)
the veil is gone today.
(collapse / cut out)
On crooked pathways
(fade out)
frozen hearts shall starve.
(cut out)
I read all of your words
and found a conjuror's trick.
We bled out all of our wounds
and died much as we lived.
Your flesh
shall be as nothing,
Our winter
is fast approaching,
Time's hand
turns; cold and swiftly,
Storms' eyes
blink and destroy us.

Barrow-Wight
Wandering down
the old dirt roads,
winding past those
time-worn tombs,
Barrow-wights
call out,
I internalised
their wounds.
Creeping closer,
creeping to the door
on the hillside,
I can feel
my mortal flesh
wasting away.
Now I am bones
beneath a frozen lake,
a shade's reflection,
cold-encircled below.
I have been silent
for so long,
there was never anything
to speak of.
Amour's touch
was short lived,
forever vanishing.
I found myself numb.
Amongst the whispering trees,
they never asked of me.
Isolated but not alone,
I approach the open door,
creeping closer
to the
open
door.

Ivy Climbs The Walls
Grinding teeth
and blind for days
I made my enemies
without a trace.
I could hear
the songbird calling
for our demise;
a crescendo carried
by the winds at dawn.
I could hear the songbird calling.
Mission creep
into the jaws of Tartarus.
Swallow the wolfsbane
and become part of us.
Throughout the years
ivy climbs the walls,
entropy haunts the hallway;
Rise, decline
and fall.
Fall...
Flies and lords
all join the swarm,
cathedrals birthed
this ugly form.
Cities disappear
with barely a sound,
stone by stone
they embrace the ground.
Cities disappear, stone by stone.

Beyond the Silver Lining
Our defense
mixed among the tides,
drowning out our worth-
maelstroms of words
(and daggers).
Beyond my reach,
the windswept worlds
of godlike hubris.
The fog has risen from your deeds.
The dusk of our halcyon hours.
Wave-less oceans.
Silver linings
regress into clouds,
take on the wings of hatred,
rush out
into the empty black
and scar the welkin's cheek.
Ploughed into the earth instead,
before your season ends.

Hinterland Thief
Forever there in the shade
of the hinterland,
even though you struggle
to forget me,
with the laugh of a murderer
and a smile of envy.
I have waited,
feels like a thousand years.
Put a mountain
between you and I,
cast a void
betwixt our tracks.
Blinded by
the autumn sky,
don't want to see
your silhouette anyway.
Bound
to the towering cliffs,
curse
your likeness anyway.
Bleached out the connections,
disarmed all of your tripwires.
Asleep in the dungeons
upon a dreamless altar,
in the silent pits of earth,
we've found peace at last.
Blocked out
of our own thoughts,
alone in the vapour,
cradled in the arms
of dead hopes.
Stagnation
has numbed
our expectations,
the passage of time
is only shadow,
a feverish spiral
of inverted wrath.
