A Broken Heart

Deep down in my heart,
Rains the dust of broken shards,
More beautiful than the snow,
The most painful of all.

Dead flowers turn from the sun,
Their heads in their hands,
For shame, for pain,
For the sorrow of the insane.

The ground, cracked and useless,
Was scorched from anger,
Flooded by tears,
And soiled by hidden fears.

The wind carries it's burden,
The longing for freedom, resurrected,
Bringing with it the sound of crying,
Of people that have long been dead.

Endless valleys of black and white,
A place where beauty had left behind,
Truth has taken it's residence here,
Just as destructive as the lies.

Hope had long made it's exit,
The sky lay at the bottom of the sea,
A gaping black just stared down,
Soulless, empty, darkness multiplied by infinity...

The Lands Between The Mirror


In this strange, strange world,
Where pollution was a myth,
Where the ocean was in the skies,
And hell a physical abyss.

The sleeping sun lay to the west,
Forever drowning us in twilight,
Floating islands sway to winds,
Held by chains lest they drift out of sight.

Rivers that flowed endlessly,
Clear water running off the edge,
Hear them roar in synchronicity ,
As they fall to the land of the dead.

Autumn and spring,
No longer exist,
Eternal summer lay to the west,
And winter to the east.

Under summer magenta skies,
Stars glittered in the sea,
Warm breezes caress the fields,
And play with the little bees.

Cloaked in clouds, thick fogs and mist,
Where light could never again reach,
A place where time did not exist,
The frozen lands that lay to the east.

And down below,
Where darkness reigned supreme,
Trapped by rock and stone,
Was a prison you could never leave.

A dreaded place,
Where even spirits cower in fear,
There were just some things,
That one was never meant to hear.

Echoes of pain,
Amplified throughout the trench,
Manipulating one's mind,
Let the lunacy commence.

As beautiful as it may seem,
It is what it isn't,
And isn't what it actually is,
Which isn't something you could lessen.

Before The End Comes

In the world that revolves,
Where everything has been seen,
From good deeds to murders,
To having a sinner's slate wiped clean.

Theres always something new,
That you would have missed,
So don't say 'I've seen it all',
Just close your eyes and make a wish.

Tell the people you have wronged,
That you ask for their forgiveness,
To send away the misunderstandings,
And for them to speak with good intentions.

Tell the people that had hurt you,
That its water under the bridge,
Then a hug that was long needed,
To heal back a broken relationship.

Take a chance you never took,
Be bold with your best foot forward,
Because perhaps it all will end,
Before you can stop being a coward.

Death can take us whenever he wants,
Thats something we cannot deny,
So live while theres still a chance,
Don't just sit there and let it go by.
