• Have you seen the shadows moving?
    In this dark night of frozen tears and eternal sorrow,
    Forgive me, for I have died

    The voice which yearns to cry out to you is now forever silenced
    Yet why do I still weep?

    As the sweet dreams turn to nightmares soaked and stained in blood
    A single tear flows, shed by glassy eyes
    I cannot escape these bindings

    Time has stopped, and the universe stands still
    And we are encased in nightfall evermore

    Alone, derelict, in this damp, watery cave,
    Waiting for the sun to somehow, someday, rise

    The stars, spilt across the sky,
    Like diamonds on dark silk
    Flooding my world in starlight
    Through the small opening of these stone walls a hundred yards above

    But each single, twinkling, faltering light
    Is alight only for a single millennia
    Then, fading out of existence, never to come again

    Lost in this vast existence, walked too far
    Caught in a storm, yet dying of drought

    Everything once thought to be true was washed away by the inevitable floods
    Say goodbye to sanity, to reality, to the evanescent lights

    Embrace the caliginous, call forth the shadows

    Behold the beauty of rose
    To commemorate this soft petal’s last kiss
    Then, gently pluck the thorns from these winding vines
    And with darkening joy, embed them in this heart.

    Farewell, dear world...

    Adieu.
