Adam Levon Brown Basks In The Dusk Of The Lyres While Jewels Cry From The Abyss In A Galactic Shine

Hallelujah Sunshine

Highways separate

into colliding stars,

wishing themselves

into being

from galactic shine

Singing Hallelujah,

I have found life!

I have found the pearls

of blood-drenched wisdom.

I have found the separate keys

on the piano which try to stay hidden

I have bled in rivulets of sunshine

to find my way home.

I have found the questions,

but never the answers.

Let them sizzle beneath

your skin,

and sing for awakening

in the grimmest of weather,

Bolted down to the doors

of your trust, and hidden

behind your gates

of razor blade truths

Let them in,

Let them in.

Hurtles go unheard

in the Sonnets of lyre

dusk

Preening themselves from fire

and hiding the dust

behind eyes of lust

Pretentious and declared

mute, the shadows quake

at the thought of eclipsing

your shame

Buried in the heels

of your feet, waiting

to give birth to Hermes,

Your smile erupts

and singes the emptiness

you call your home.

Darkness Reality

Lips of escaping

meadow signal

the depths of Abyss-worn

crowns

Cracked and smeared

with gun powder and silenced

by night fall

Jewels cry your name

as you fall deeper

into the ebony glance

of darkness reality

And luck calls

for you inside your mind,

as you attempt to claw

your psyche

from the depths of abyss
