My Gaze in Spectral

My Gaze in Spectral 

In the darkness it dwells
The visions and spells
Cast upon my gaze
That put my head in this daze

Look there is the spectral past
Shadows laid by the gleaming cast
Sight deceiving, my mind believing
Out in that bleakness, a thieving.

Beyond the layered mast
That I have laid in thus past
I bear down my soul
These images have taken their toll.

Doom & Destiny

Doom & Destiny 

Shade befallen vale
There I dwell
Where I fail
To put to quill
Such things as I will

Seeing spiders crawl
On the walls,
In the corners of my eye

Creak of bones
Hidden in my walls
Banging,
Begging to be released

Of this world I saw a fall
On an autumn wind
I forsee destruction

As words seem to fail me
I find myself unveiled to thee
Can you see through my walls
Are my shields transparent
Am I that aberrant
Doomed to lie in decay
Destined to die in dismay
