Loneliness


Alone

I walk these empty streets again
Stained with this hurt:
This hurt of neglect
That seeps through inside;
The pain that tarnishes this road
 Of happiness and gold.
 Now time has passed
And the people I was once with
Are lost in my heart.



The wanderer

My body is young, but my mind is old
Older than the flowering birch.
And in this forgotten youth
I still search far and wide
To find the place that once was lost:
Lost in fear and dread,
The place of secrets forever untold
And magic that hides at will.
 When my search has ended, I will be lost in that world
And forgotten because of this.
Lost for all eternity

And will ever be.


When

When your love dies,
When my life falls,
When the world gives up,
I do not cry.
I do not scream.
Instead I stay where I am
Alone and unforgiven
And watch as the world falls apart
Underneath my feet
whilst I stand unfaltering
Staring into the deep.

Elements



The fire of life
The wings of flame;
The wings of life:
A world’s hope in dying embers.
The life that engulfs;
The life that gives:
The burning light remains.


A world of sin
The world of darkness;
The world of hate:
Where hatred speaks for everything.
An envy of life.
An envy of power.
A darkness of evil,
Of fear, of hate
Reaching out to the last stone heart.


Fruit of death
The fruit of sin.
The fruit that takes.
Cold as stone, frozen as ice
As it takes the breaths of the world.


 The fire
The fire that destroys and kills
The fire that spreads fear
Searing and engulfing life
Burning till there’s life no more.

The search


Long we have searched these high mountain tops covered in snow,
While the wind is strong and currents are slow;
High peaks rest here among the domes,
In what is now our icy home.
Through rough and calm we’ve endured long on our own,
Impatient for the time that goes,
And for how long can only the watchers know,

To wait, to search, to find the hope.

The sea

The sea is what it wants to be: a calm friend, a hungry wolf.
For the sea has power beyond us that we can only dream.
The sea can be a howling lonely scavenger or a joyful happy pup,
But whatever it is, it is a powerful force.
