Flame (Where did your Soul Go?)

Reflected through eyes, but
mindless killed her
soul,
Distant, dead, walking zombie
in unnatural attire,
Hole, searching, deathless,
far away from that
fire,

Empty, broken, disquiet
yearning,
Though the body and face
are there, unfamiliar glowing,
stomach churning,
Burning bitter, embattled,
Reaching for that
soul,

Grasping once again to be
whole with pieces,
Seeking the dead, but hard
when the face is corrupt,
Creases, beauty faded, lost
in familiarity of what
once was,

Not dead, but dead, in
night the dread that darkness
plays the puppeteer,
Fearing that decay that became
her, yearning to hold
her near,
But heartless is the beast that
wears her,
Disrupting, corrupting what
once was clear...

Moments.

Silence, alone, speechless,
overcome by ghosts,
Reliance, none, defenseless
against the internal
hosts,

Wordless, alone, please
leave me be,
Mindful depression, dampened,
thoughts assaulting endlessly,

Breaking down the broken,
one more step,
Held in place, wordless, against
the doorstep,

Penned, but unspoken, downcast
and drown out,
In the grips of Hell, no voice to
outcry, no will to scream or
shout...

Against the Flow.

Catatonic vibration,

endless reverberation, 

enchanted sour, soulless

station, 

Embattled and bitter, but

the sword won't 

fall, 

Eyes locked, horizon fixed,

open arms to welcome

it all. 

Soaked, crimson, entrenched,

battered yet unchained, 

Awake in rage, wild, wicked, and

maliciously untamed.

Entranced, enhanced, limitless

to the bitter end, 

Flowing with death, against the

stream, against the dream,

Demolishing this soulless trend,

This mind will never bend,

This soul will never blend,

Fuck your trend...

Battle Thelema.

There, in your place,
assuming that stance, wearing
your face,
Gone, erased, without a
trace,
To the open, an ocean, endless
Mind,
Spirit, unbind, will extended,
projected to the
blind,
Weak, shattered, whatever
was standing there,
No worries, don't care, that
Spirit takes, in its' place,
Wearing that face, projected
will upon defeat, turn in
shame and disgrace,
Calm, unmoved, only this
hand,
Do what thou will and leave
that face in the sand...

Death Dance.

Depths unknown, vector
unchanged,
Ground cover blown,
image rearranged,

Blatant in the dark,
resurrection, aflame,
focal spark,
Insurrection inside, mind
numbing and stark,

Raving and rambling, distant
craving, gambling,
Away to that other end
unknown,
Faceless, shown, nameless,
its' in the bone,

Keep it moving, but proving
nothing,
Endless flames, praying,
soothing, burn the
temple down,

Warrior set ablaze, in death,
radiant, its' crown,
Slow death, in ideology,
drown...
