I filled a vial of tears for you.
My heart, grieves in longing.
The Winter rid, colors of bloom.
By day, the sun disguise you.
Before we part, you’ll hear my cries.
Bleed darkness, into my eyes.
Cold air will creep upon my skin.
Altered, to fading memories.
Cold cities live within my dreams.
These places, only I’ve seen.
Silent streets spiral, and then fade.
Echoed voices, lose their lost way.
In the periphery of vision,
Lurking shadows, darken and hidden.
Leeching sorrow, blacker than nightfall.
Winter’s tundra, engulfed by ice walls.
Wild colors, glisten in the darkness.
Vibrant journeys, yet, I am sightless.
Dark clouds, wrap around the forest.
Through the trees, they wait here to perish.
One by one, yearning for August.
Wildwood, consumed by the harvest.
Snow falls, and Winter is achieving.
Nocturnal, nightfall is leeching.
Ice forms, blankly on the water.
Looming shadows, linger forever.
Hallowed hallways, lost in December.
Shades of twilight, passed through November.
As the forest falls to it’s slumber.
Through the murky pathways of wonder.
Cold stones, wrapped under ivy.
Pray for the brightness to find me.
Cold cities live within my dreams.
These places, only I’ve seen.
In the periphery of vision,
Lurking shadows, darken and hidden.
Bleed dry, again, this withered heart.
Flames burst, but soon will de-part.
Porcelain shatters beneath this skin.
Decorate with wrapping ivy.
Wild colors, glisten in the darkness.
Vibrant journeys, yet, I am sightless.
Dark clouds, wrap around the forest.
Through the trees, they wait here to perish.
One by one, yearning for August.
Wildwood, consumed by the harvest.
Snow falls, and Winter is achieving.
Nocturnal, nightfall is leeching.
Fantasy, leaps through the shadows.
Find me, furled and tattered.
Uno the sunlight, I ponder.
This perception, of lost colors.
Sigh deep, ambitions departing.
Stray buried, downward I’m marching.
Even, if only misgiven.
Hidden eyes, cease.
My parting note, is left unread.
Grasping for sight, sorrow begs.
Silence, in longing words are wept.
Unfurl the blinding vagueness.
Coil, beneath the wicked trees.
Cry for tomorrow’a voices.
Devoid, is what the present gives.
Painted white, the colors grieving.
Chilled air, lurks throughout the night.
Shadows slither, ‘neath the moonlight.
The day will rise again, yet fall.
Dark sunrise mourns our lost call.
Conscious inside, immortal eclipse.
Archway of constant conflict.
The melancholy surge of dawn.
I now, become the forest.
