Love Over Lie

 Love Over Lie 
 
 Seeing beyond sight
 Take in the transcending light.
 Let it warm your being
 Embrace this feeling. 
 
 Warring sides fight
 And die, in scores.
 Are we winning,
 Or just crumbling inside? 
 
 Never let the dead men decide
 Shelter that being that defies
 Bring forth love
 To beat senseless,
 Pointless dread. 
 
 It's all in your head
 A lie we have all been fed.

The Blind Marshes

 The Blind Marshes
  
 In the marshes I struggle,
 Blind to all that surrounds me
 I feel the fog hug me, draw me tight
 Until it suffocates,
 I fall under the weeds and water
 This is where I drown.
  
 A man blind to those around him
 Self-possessed demon that I am
 I struggle to connect
 The wires are cut,
 So my phone is dead.

Labyrinthine Ways

 Labyrinthine Ways
  
 Right, left, up, down
 Round in circles I race
 Never able to face
 I am lost in the depths
 Deep in a labyrinthine place
 Of sinister construct
 A Hell's maze, one may say
  
 Despair flying over my head
 As I said, into a tunnel I fled
 Now I am confused on how to escape
 Everywhere I turn is a dead end
 All I see is walls of bone and stone
 I feel this dread gnawing
 Taking nibbles and chunks
 My sanity consumed by blindness
  
 I cannot break rock
 I have nothing to chip away
 At these bones that block my way
 All I can do is sit down and cry
 Until that day I die
 Down here,
 Lost in this labyrinthine mind.
