When the Fire Rains Down



When the fire rains down
We shall laugh at your massive homes
All you've built of wood will burn
When the fire rains down

When the Earth shatters all
We'll watch as the dams crack and break
Water will smash and bridges will fall
When the Earth shatters all

When the mud covers stone
We shall dance the whole night long
Mud will bury and roads be gone
When mud covers stone

When the lights go out
Many will cry for loss of sight
People of the Earth will sing and shout
When the lights go out

When the fire rains down
We shall lie in peace again
While the issuance of the gods' resound
We'll all find peace once fire rains down

Denials Plight



In my mind
The night is long

The papers white
My ink upon

The sounds are mine
The tea is strong

Cast words as lots
The clock ticks on

Denials plight
Askance my song

A distant hum
Awakes with dawn

With passing night
My world is gone

Regret




The stark,    stark,    voice of regret
                Cold and fierce the sweat

                      Of stark,  stark regret



            How sad,     to be lying here

              Full of stark,    stark regret


       I had my reasons.    Oh you bet!
         But none,   so strong as regret

          Once I felt warm and sublime
                        I saw not,    my duet
Now,  from where I lay,   out of time 
                  And, in such clear reflect
                  Of my stark, stark regret
          Except,
                                The stage is set

                 So this, is how I will look
              When, they come in to see
           My regret, has run out of me

Love's Dark Goodbye



Last night my walls were tissue-thin
There hung a vale of starry skies
The years dissolved, your smile slipped in
My heart repeats an aural delight 
Our words, anew, infeasible shy

We dismiss the words, our eyes reply
A thousand angels chant your name
You hold my hand, I melt inside
Novas shower through my veins
While thoughts exalt, our voices tame

How shall I ever avow your heart
When dreams are all that we now share
In nights demur we always part
A tragic love I shan't compare
How could you leave me in the dark?
