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
