Traveling down the shining path,
The One takes takes no notice,
Harsh wind and doubt's wrath,
Deteriorate The One's focus,
One travels back,
Not to reminisce,
All the white fades to black,
One never idolizes to this,
One's heart feeds intrusion,
Welcoming swiftly the pit's frost,
Living in the bubble of illusion,
The One alone becomes Lost.
Retreat to the ashes,
To the dust of initiation,
I ponder in brief flashes,
Why I ache with dedication,
I blame not me,
But blame my reverie,
How was it to be,
You would be gone so quickly?
Steely, tired Death,
Since you were born,
Since your first breath,
A piece of you was torn,
Reap this red,
Out of my chest,
As Dylan once said,
The eldest know best.
Wary echoes a midnight symphony,
Colder than a ghoul's smirk,
No knight here whom carries infamy,
Colder still, still they lurk,
Carried on high,
On a bridge of undoing,
An ignored alert sent to fly,
Ignorance keeps moving,
Glorious snap of fragility,
Like the cracking whip of insanity,
Ignorance now heeds signs of ability,
Though too late to ignore the punishment of vanity
Damnation for befallen brethren,
Unheeding self-proclaiming obligations,
Riding alone temptation's burden,
Until finally you reach abominations,
Irony's judgmental punishment endured,
Peace changes war internal,
No more are you when THEY are bored,
Peace, here, remains forever infernal.
Dawn of a new December,
From a time of flawless rains,
There lies nothing to remember,
Of those sickly earthen days,
Razed by comfort's shine,
Cadavre trumpets silenced,
Cold grip escapes forever "mine",
Rousing Leviathan through "violence",
Red Rose leaving toyed,
Stolen from heavenly might,
Though senseless and Void,
For once, all is "right".
