There and Back Again

The water runs fast.
The rivers reach the oceans.
The rain falls earthbound.

Towards the stars my wishes go past.
Far beyond sight.
Closely near oblivion.

Arise a new moon,
A new sight,
The beginning of my end.

The race is long,
And fear is the only enemy.
In the end, it's only a race against yourself.

New teachings, new wisdom.
The ocean tide follows the moon
Wherever it goes.

Bringing new thoughts from new places,
Carrying burdens unknown to all.
Knowing paths that few would choose as their own.

The traveler arrives to a home he barely recognizes after so long.

The Shadow of Change

Something is calling me East...
Be it a feast of friends or a giant's wish.
I could care less.

It is not wise to answer every call.
It is not wise.

Yet, here I go.
Shadows following my every path.

My shadow. Change is coming through my shadow.

Please leave a light on... for me.

I will return.

Dark Plans

Seven seasons undone for treason...
Now the group united once more under one sole reason!
Who would have thought!?

Yet, bitter is the taste to our lips alone, without warmth.
No sweeter than thy candy blow and never seen before that rising glow.
Choose thy words with summons in mind, focused simply with delight.

There are shadows that cannot be seen, greater even than those which Suns can make.
Drowning in thy safeness...

Call me an angel, forth into this world.
Shine down upon my shadow, there are still lessons to be learned.

To pick up the acceptance of your words,
It comes to be pathetic as the existence that drives you.

Nevertheless, I still slumber, I still await my time.
When us all part ways, when us all venture off.

I cannot wait.

In the meantime... fear the unknown, and be a mere mortal...
Take up those lies and truths to heart,
Striving to reach new heights.

There are paths I follow... the path no one takes...
Where right and wrong collide into the core of oneself...

I must go places few dare reach... to find the essence of endless time.

Sadly I can only take with me those who wish follow.
Alas, they all know the risk!

Darkness stops us not... it simply covers our tracks.

Prepare... the night is upon us.

Morning Thoughts

Who are you?

Where do you run to?

I want to know about these strangers like me...

Fink Thoughts

"The things that keep us apart, keep me alive
And the things that keep me alive, keep me alone

I didn't notice anything different
I didn't even notice"

- Fink, 'This is the thing'

Sometimes it Seems it Follows me Home

Sometimes, yet not always,
It creeps behind me as I walk past my door.

Unusual, yet expected,
It shadows in the corner speaking in between each thought.

I can see it, I can feel it.

I've been accused of manipulation.
I've been accused of greed.
It's not the first time.

Why does my confidence portray such behavior?
Haven't I made it clear that what I aim for is my tribal need?

You are not the first, and surely not the last.

Accursed it follows me home.
Unable to lose the trail for this unwanted actor in my scene.

Faithless to see it go away.

Drop the curtain, end the act?
Why?

In the end I will remain exactly where I stand now.
But I least, I will know I tried.

Beautiful and Untouchable

Today I lit up a candle in your name...

Beautiful and untouchable.

How come my own will
is the one that detains me
from bringing forth my passion for you?

For you...

Beautiful and untouchable.

Farewell

And the night fell upon our sunset...
The heat of day was washed away with each breath...
I had been here before, I had seen this in the past...

No more misfortunes, no more unwanted turns.
The end would be swift and painless.
A knife in plain view.

Your wings broken, my will unbent,
Such sorrow shared with passion.

Sometimes goodbye is a second chance,
Sometimes the end is the beginning.

Just make sure you keep it straight,
Set your North where it should be.
Think twice, don't hesitate, be smart.

I won't be there no more...
I won't hear your thoughts no more...

This time, I ride my own road...

Alone.

Catch a Breeze

Where lies what sea may hold?
If we follow the wind in a rush?

Never the contradiction fairly will unfold
Any plans hidden behind the bush.

Murdered beside the killer.
Speculating on the footprints of a cat

Who left forgotten his whisker
Somewhere back in the pull and push.

Damn will against will,
Damn your search for emotion.

Just like scrapping the door to be fed
Anything better than solitude.

Make haste, raise sails.
I hear a purr welcoming the wind.

Salvation Tree

I marked the tree which saved you.

But not like you marked the tree that day.

It's trunk stopped your momentum.

It's size caught your soul.

Alas, your new life began with that bark!

And Death was left behind as you walked away unscratched.

Bless these memories that haunt you.

These flashbacks will always remain.

For that tree gave you something, that you will never forget...

The chance to die another day.

My Firefly

Foreign days with sunless sunsets,
Oh pity, the sunrises too early to catch.

Eternal waves dance to the rhythm of the spirals,
Traces left behind by your butterflies...

The only joy in watching the tainted sky turn black,
Is knowing you will dance tonight...

My firefly...

Pace yourself, the beats come one after the other,
And yet the melody never ends.
Flowers and circles race past my eyes,
Your grace signed with a smile...

Black dressing, pale skin, burning lights...
It is the fire that runs through the night.

A dark grin masked by wanton innocence.

A kiss from a firefly...

How Did You Know

Did you know that I still remember?
Did you know that I can't forget?
Did you know...
Did you know...

How far back can fear go...
How lonely can one fall...
How empty this room fells...
How empty...

Did you know you have no name?
Did you know I can't recall?
Did you know...
Did you know...

How easy I fool myself...
How straight is the way to hell...
How slow minutes crawl...
How slow...
How slow...
