There is fire on the mountains everyday now
A brilliant red, orange, and yellow
The multicolored drapery
Of a dying Summer memory
When each picture was a new scene
Of when the world was warm and green
Even the songbirds are on the run
Distraught, the Fall calls for the Sun
But the Sun has lost all its shine
Though it still assures all is fine
Fall covers the sky with a blanket of clouds
With the howling winds, it cries aloud
Soon the Fall too shall die
With a cold, chill sigh
But when Death is at its back
It will wear white, not black
Even so, the grave is cold
With chiming bells, the death knell tolls
Pleading eyes in the dark
Against the bleak white are stark
Save the Fall before all the leaves change and die
A silent prayer, an audible cry
Save the fire on the mountains
Dry these incessant fountains…
Tormented and lost
In a world so unreal
Demented, the cost,
Of trying to feel
Tired of your heart being
Broken every time
Used and abused thing,
Token left behind
Resign to solitude
Accept that this
Design in attitude
You can’t fix
Time fades away
Alone you cry
With each passing day
Condone the will to die
Pressure you can’t bare
A cross holding you down
Stresser that doesn’t care
Screams with no sound
Which is the sweeter sin?
Fight for the will to live
Or die and give in
Right in knowing God will forgive
Choose the path that’s easier
But one has no way back
Lose yourself in the ether
Carried away in a sack
Or live on and see the sun
No chance left to miss
To know life has begun
Perchance, is this bliss?

i like this
very nice
Well written
"Which is the sweeter sin? well said
Somewhere in the shadows
Beyond the darkest night
Fallen angels chase butterflies
They scream for their wings
To be replaced on their backs
Wings the butterflies stole
And flutter and taunt just out of reach
Butterflies with their blackened wings
Bore of cries of despair
And betrayals of the world
These wings cannot bear angels away
They came from souls now too fragile to be strong
Trapped in this dark land
With only one way out
Some trigger bares them to the streams
Where they all float away
To the world beyond
The Lament of the Fallen Angels
Ceases as one by one,
The butterflies fall away
But it is nothing real
Fake relief from a drone that never stops
When the rush dies
So goes the relief
And the cries begin again
Birthing more black winged butterflies
To be your friends another day
