Dyed

clad in snow and ice, crowned a blaze
I watch her face, as the flay crosses
the falls usher forth, terror encroaches
the lady butchered, rags and bone dyed
at the crimson pond, I tear at my eyes
I fear the darkest, void of her light
those bright, crystal caves die.

Growing Flames

I cast flames at the world around me
the illogical, they drive me crazy
Me the cold emotionless being

This rage that has built in me
feeding off this world in flames
I can see every night from my room

I watch as we slay another
over fallacies cast in gold

the divide between us grinds
as the molten crust rolls

From my grand post I preach
love before the fire, the ire we build
on the kindling of torn down civility

The fabric that I wrap around me
woven from a reality that I bend
in my direction I cast the chaos
that permeates our pores

Eyes shot, death trots
Into one-way mirror I watch
all the disorder in the world

Behind my smirk,
I see the blaze engraved.

Pancakes for Some Reason

the hollow behind my eyes
numbed to war by pain of years
stacking, pancakes flipping
over and over.

the well beating below
crust of earth barriers
that sky, it sparkles with stars
and I am buried beneath.

the wind carries her voices
a melody that licks my ear
words that lie from voices
that occupy my mind.

the sky across us burns
our shared reality is torn
I cry as I watch the shore
as we drift farther apart.
