oceanic portals opening
a bed of blue-green seaweed
descending rays of sun....
halls of purple ivy
ascending to the gardens
a realm of understanding....
illuminate our sight-path
that we may see the truth
and leave this all behind....
and in your shining moment
take comfort in the thought
that one day we'll be dust .

Destroying Angel

the storm that bent the oaks has come to set us free
infinite as space is looming, stirring in the trees
and as we fall beneath the rain
the sky melts into the lake
as sure as it will end
with solitude it's cleansed
and i am your destroyer
the static dream is dead
destitution in the vacuum, the seraphim remain
to sanctify the arteries that drown us as they drain
as the sun dissolves from our space
in her arms, the angel's embrace
the energy will bend
return to earth again
and i am your destroyer
the static dream is dead

i tried to find the star
the one you showed me all those times, I can't remember
but now the sky's so dark
and telescopes could never see that far...
the sanctuaries that once shined are cinders on the ground
memory's extinguished and there's nothing left here now
silence of the oracles and gardens in the night
these sheets of black and burial shrines are poison to my eyes...
i tried to let it go
relinquished in the embrace of the snow
the twilight sky is dimmed
earth to earth... it's coming to an end...
the specter in the spiral staircase leading me straight down
glowing dimly in the passages we found
lost it to eternity, and everything is gone
fallen silent in our final setting sun....

sanctuaries shine
a cloak of greenery unconfined
a morning in deep space
moonset over dimming light rays
tending to the vines
stay so high
a birthplace or a grave
so haunting beyond the ships remains
let it all return
immersing only once
the hydrous atmospheres
collapse into you
and when it all returns
ascending to the sun
solar winds and spirits
pass right through you
compass cracks in two
empyreal radiance in lowlands bloom
confluence of the skies
eternities elapse at moonrise
catherdral of the moth
the shaded temples are so distant
contorted roots unscathed
light years shimmer in the passing waves
let it all return
immersing only once
the hydrous atmospheres
collapse into you
and when it all returns
ascending to the sun
solar winds and spirits
pass right through you

Wintercreeper

Auroras on the moons horizon
Uneven waves distort the flames
Communication lines are severed
I've always wanted it this way
The tides will cleanse me of the sorrow
and this will be my final day.
