Elegy

As anger ebbed away

clarity returned crystal

i felt the warmth in my hands

 soaked in the blood red

Tears they came unbidden

a river a sea then an ocean deep

drowning my burning rage into dripping sorrow

for the first time i, i truly so wept

Broken bodies scattered

ashes, ashes, and only poignant ashes

where you are, my righteous

my desperate prayers be naught, to ears deaf

I stood there till came dawn

And with its first radiant sunrise

I saw eyes, unblinking eyes, dead

damning soul, mine, forever mine

Thus I ran, ran and ran

to do away my guilt, unburden my woe

but they never left me

so an elegy to lost innocence of my soul

I pray never will there be a time

when man may need to take life

for each life he takes, he takes his own

shackled in the purgatory wandering alone..

Ep

Waiting for my time to come
breathing the sweet breath 
as long as i can make it last
no promises no regrets

Orphans of wars of hunger
no more, i am, a soul freed
free free free at last
no more enthralled in lies, i be

the fleshly pleasures 
whose burden crushes the spirit
enslaves this mind this heart
no more...
no promises no regrets
