1-leaf
entrails in mud
skulls crushed by march
blood stains on leaves
home burnt to the ground
memories devoured by flames
death bringers in line
crows mourn in black
Time claims its crown
rotten water in wells
destiny's grin resonates
leaving the last of us petrified

Crown Shyness

2-crown shyness
hate and regret flow down a tear
along tears the green of my inner forest is reflected
the silent mourning of the high branches heals me
life and death sung by the lush leaves
the songs of the night tell of hunger
the wood is my kingdom and my grave
here
I will find my throne of thorns
and wait for the moss to dress me

Way of woe

3-way of woe (O LORD, MAY I COME?) Elizabeth Siddal
Life and night are falling from me,
Death and day are opening on me,
Wherever my footsteps come and go,
Life is a stony way of woe.
Lord, have I long to go?
Hallow hearts are ever near me,
Soulless eyes have ceased to cheer me:
Lord may I come to thee?
Life and youth and summer weather
To my heart no joy can gather.
Lord, lift me from life’s stony way!
Loved eyes long closed in death watch for me:
Holy death is waiting for me –
Lord, may I come to-day?
My outward life feels sad and still
Like lilies in a frozen rill;
I am gazing upwards to the sun,
Lord, Lord, remembering my lost one.
O Lord, remember me!
How s it in the unknown land?
Do the dead wander hand in hand?
God, give me trust in thee.
Do we clasp dead hands and quiver
With an endless joy for ever?
Do tall white angels gaze and wend
Along the banks where lilies bend?
Lord, we know not how this may be:
Good Lord we put our faith in thee –
O God, remember me.

Moonsoon

4-monsoon
from worm to butterfly
universe craves life
in eternal embrace
we are his silver dust
lost in sentient darkness
like fog that blurs in the morning
fear of the abyss generates horror
slow music embracing the fall
I paint the walls of the soul black
to confuse me with this night
I collect her tears in crystal vials
I will be the wild wave
in the rainy season
