Mute is the ghost upon his throne of souls.

I scream in thunder, but he does not answer.

Pillager of love, betrayer of man, your greed exceeds your station.

 

Holy forgiveness, a golden lie, spoken across the ages.

Vitriol and bile are far sweeter t

The Wheel

The Wheel

 

6714024490?profile=RESIZE_710xThrough the ashes of our heartache, drive the demons of our own demise.

Clothed in finery and enigmas, they claim to be the architects to our evolution.

Fallacies and riddles, sung in tunes of a proclivity that serenades paradise.

The Child of Night

The Child of Night

6667715269?profile=RESIZE_400x

Cloaked in nights darkness, a blackness so pure.
I curse the light that comes with dawn.
For as a moth to the flame, I burn.

The birth of a day anew heralds my slumber.

Downfall

Coddled beneath the façade of your false utopia. You think we are too blind to see the mask that hides the truth.


Shackled in this graveyard full of broken promises. We are cursed to be the pawns of your own malevolence.

Truth

3979744577?profile=RESIZE_710xTruth

 

The thorns of our failures are never more prominent than when spoken by the tongue of innocence.

Honeyed words spun so sweetly to hide the foul bile within. The voice of velvet giving way to the coarse cut of a reality earned.

There is no love he

The Hour of the Wolf

The Hour of the Wolf3923579071?profile=RESIZE_710x

Upon rough trod earth and decaying leaves.

Through tangled bushes and falling streams.

Creak of willow, the rush of wind, anticipation closing in.

A silver wisp beneath the hunter’s moon, a silent shadow when in gloom.

Scent of fear i

Solace

 A favoured whisper falls on the ever-evolving tapestry that is life. A will that takes only what is needed in pursuit of a divine course that never falters in its path toward transcendence.

The Flame of Time

3511348947?profile=RESIZE_710xThe Flame of Time

The light of life is as fickle as the moth who flies blindly toward the flame. Always flying to close to the sun. The irrevocable fate of mortality - Severed dreams severed hopes. All have been dashed beneath the pendulum of time.

The morning brought with it an amber sunrise.

 The cold frosted earth and fallen leaves crackled underfoot like so many pieces of shattered glass, awash with the colours of liquid gold, ruby and topaz.

As Selene’s light breaks the twilight, I follow the winged messenger, descending in a perpetual spiral toward an eternity that lies beyond the ken of man.


I am given two paths; one of serene fields awash with unfathomable beauty, the o
