Immortal Death
How do I write with bliss of death?
I'm sure you know exactly how.
But heres an explanation.
Told with blood upon my brow.
See, a man devotes his life.
To acts of kindness, peace, and love.
Extraordinary selflessness.
Laced with the light above.
But the wings of death do shroud his good.
Into a formless haze.
Immortal Death removes his hood.
Attracting mankind's gaze.
Even that righteous man now understands.
The ambiguity in his eyes.
The bravest stayed, and cowards ran.
Fearing certain demise.

Irrefutable Affection
Heavenly aura.
Scorching July air.
No lies told, no one to hate.
A peaceful godlike innocence, memories of grandeur.
The way that I held you, it's bliss was returned.
A connection exalted me.
No intentions of leaving.
No intentions of failing.
Inner peace was my deity.
And it would always shine through.
My selflessness still active, but I was proud of where I stood.
However, an invisible hourglass introduced me to my sickening fall.
And it's amazing how on that flawless day in May.
How the cardinals sang and the tree branch was the most uplifting place.
How the heat embraced me and kept my faith sustained.
And how I said that I loved you, and how that still has never changed.

I See Everything
Reluctantly shedding my eyelids.
Oh, the horrible gift of sight.
Delight has been consumed.
I saw that wretched being.
Erupting from a sea of gold.
I'm tempted and I'm pleading.
To be the fortunate one he holds.
I see my face distort.
In a sunlit puddle by my feet.
Twisted and grotesque, I smile.
I am the one he seeks.
Laughter booms.
Images pour.
I begin to fall.
I wish that I had never lifted that protective veil at all.
Liberty fails.
Justice gone.
The grandeur of mortal decay.
An empire rises from below.
Convincing me I'm insane.

To His Defense
To his defense, I understand the problem that is at hand.
To his defense, I understand the turmoil behind all of this.
To his defense, you'll never live the life he has endured.
To his defense, judge, I object to the inaccuracies you are spewing forth.
Be prepared to kill two birds with one stone.
Anxiety rises about the room.
As the swine feeds on frozen hearts.
A sign of treason ascends in my thoughts.
My conscience was right, the traitor exposed.
To his defense, there must be a reason for all the things he has done.
To his defense, it could easily be a coincidence.
To his defense, look at him now.
He's happier than I'll ever become.
To his defense, theres no defense.
No toleration for betrayal.

Lord Earth
My pen aligns you with my mind.
Such a maddening and transcendent art.
Still, I'm aware that all of my miseries.
Only exist within my heart.
For, if I died tomorrow.
The Earth would spin just fine.
And within a few mortal brains.
Lies my memory, still alive.
The Earth, however, won't remember.
Anything about my life.
And within the smoldering crust.
Lies a memory that had died.
A man dies in an avalanche.
Attempting to ascend.
His pride forever thwarted.
The planet wins again.

Clenching My Eyes
Such a beautiful shield of ignorance.
The finest sense abolished with glee.
I clench my eyes in fear.
To the truth, forever free.
Though, I'm the final man alive.
And I smell the aftermath, indeed.
I hear the echoes from the sea.
But these, I'll never have to see.
A voice is chanting violent verses.
Venom taints it's breath.

Destiny
I wander, robbed of my peace.
It's restoration, untouchable, bleak.
All senses subconsciously breached.
Placed between unmanned colliding fleets.
I can't dismember every fiend.
Setting forth upon my track.
Because their molded ebony nails.
Are grappled firmly to my back.
Into their pupils of misery, I did reminisce.
A reflection I have traced.
Their sinister hands cannot be untied.
Nor their image, can I deface.
Their involvement, far from my consent.
Forming plots of the illest intent.
Leaving me so thoroughly convinced.
I'll merge into the endless crypt.

Grains Of Solace
If only my shyness was broken.
And sent with a wrath to it's grave.
If only the words that I've spoken.
Were welcomed with more than false praise.
If only the blood in my veins.
Wasn't chilling with feelings of doubt.
If only the peace in my brain.
Was less a disaster of drought.
If only the hope in my heart.
Was sustained and then finally felt.
If only the gods that you've offered.
Hadn't mocked as I faithfully knelt.
The laughter that booms at my back.
Stirring up the wildfire inside.
Through years of consistent damage.
I've lost every dropp of past pride.

The Holiest Aura
The aura around me may dim.
But never will wither away.
Guiding me through perpetual nights.
It strays at the first light of day.
The terrors within me will cast it away.
Neglecting my soul, it's beauty at bay.
Protecting myself from this feverish growth.
Putrefied beings through veins of it's host.

They Shine
In grief, I spotted two crystals.
Across the flame-drenched fields.
They were leaking and appeared pitiful.
So I wandered to them and stood.
They shone as the sunrise.
They shone as forest fires.
They promised happiness.
They promised omnicide.
I stood there staring into her.
She asks me where I've been all her life.
My whole being smiles at these elusive words.
Considering the euphoria that died.
They shone as the sunrise.
They shone as forest fires.
They promised happiness.
They promised omnicide.
