She was standing there Beauty in its fullest The mist around her And a sound, so ruthless Beneath the waterfall She tried to fly Carved in my mind That night, she died And the clouds cry The clouds cry A blanket covers me Protecting from the rain My breath is cold But trembling from pain Look at the sky See the clouds cry Over her grave I vowed, I lied I lied And the clouds cry The clouds cry Yes, they cry Through the dark gray Tears from the sky Let them whip Let them cry In silence

Dawn Gray sky shedding tears Faces of wood soak and bleed And water the sleepless earth A redemption for hatred deeds Mother! What have you done To make our screams so muted? A punishment, our torment Our roots are now rotted Decayed, septic Whispers of the forest So beautiful and cold A never ending circle of death At dusk we rise, at dawn we fall Lament In shadows you hide alone A creeping voice between purple leaves A cry for our dead brothers The burden of our grief Forest! A god painted green and brown A house for the living And a graveyard for our dead Those who perished, yet still breathing Decayed, septic And blood - made tears Whispers of the forest So beautiful and cold A never ending circle of death At dusk we rise, at dawn we fall Decayed, septic

Dusk 05:39
And her body was warm Where black clouds seemed to wade And her rays were bleeding In a faded shade of red And she set beyond the mountains Dusk, so blinding And we dreamed eternally Of her slow fading Skies remained naked Nights were abandoned By the morning Forests were left In the dark In the dark And we watched her dying So fragile, so dim And we hid our children So we can't hear their screams And we drowned in self pity For our end is so unfair And we treasured the moments Of love and despair Skies remained naked Nights were abandoned By the morning Forests were left In the dark In the dark

Empty room 08:34
Pines standing under rain Skies blackened, seas dry Brave men led to their deaths Dying children, mothers cry Over empty graves they cry And so, she stood alone With his picture In uniform With his gun, and a smile "I'm OK" "Mom, I'm coming home" It's the last thing he wrote And the memories won't let her sleep Alone She is crying And his room so empty Behind tyranny of faith Ghosts are pulling burning strings Misleading young men into Mundane chaos soaked with tears Soaked with burning tears And so, she stood alone With his picture In uniform With his gun, and a smile "I'm OK" "Mom, I'm coming home" It's the last thing he wrote And the memories won't let her sleep Alone She is crying And his room so empty
5.
Forlorn, trapped inside a body Full of warts and blisters Lonely, crippled by infection His skin is like no other Half man, half tree An outcast, a freak of nature It is he who carries the virus A leper, a victim of fate Imprisoned by everlasting despair Half man, half tree A child of the forest Doomed from birth Embraces us with his branches The son of mother earth Flies feast upon his roots Where endless pain seems to dwell A shattered shadow of a man is fading Like the withered leaf that fell
6.
Autumn 07:09
My veins are dried Exhausted by sun's fury My skin wither Eroded by the chilling wind The drops of rain Sooth my cracked shell As I fall to the earth Soaked with sky's tears For I am the leaf My psithurism is mute The sun is my shepherd And the red autumn is my end Every fallen brother Have a place of burial Beneath the mire Among worms and weed When times of mist draws nigh I know my end is near I confess my deeds And embrace the stones For I am so cold My sorrow is blind The branches are my home And the ground is my grave
7.
Stillborn Never crawled on fertile soil Lifeless Blackened the bleeding womb Infant A soul to ritually coil A coffin Uncarpentered tomb Mothers wear red As the blood of the beast Sacrificed at the alter Of false gods' mist Trees so colossal So hollow, so ill Scarred for our ritual Yet rotting still Bury us high So the wind can waft our souls away Bury our light So the trees may drench our woes Mourn for us For we are no longer among the living Mourn for us Through your ritual of grief Mothers wear red As the blood of the beast Sacrificed at the alter Of false gods' mist
8.
In her sullen reflection I saw a blindly drawn painting Of lachrymose eyes Overwhelming, enchanting The lake was so dim Tainted with sorrow With eyes, so cold Hopeless as tomorrow Blinded by the frost She longed for my warmth And the mist covers my tomb Chained by her grief And undying despair Her image, empty as her womb In her sullen reflection I stared for hours Foreseeing the winters And the death of red flowers She began to fade As slow and quiet As the blackening clouds And the withering violet Blinded by the frost She longed for my warmth And the mist covers my tomb Chained by her grief And undying despair Her image, empty as her womb
