Graveslumber
Lost in the graveyard
Out in the moonlight
Confused wand’ring
My mind couldn’t get right
Push off the ivy
Under the stone lid
Into the casket
Sleep close my eyelids
Out from beyond comes a gaze
A spirit takes me from the grave
Graveslumber!
Ancient vision
Hidden birthright
Crystal chapels
Starscape farsight
Out of space and
Out of mention
The Extranaut cracks a new dimension

Lost Beneath the Sands

Lost beneath the sand
Nobody likes him
Murderer most foul
Beheader beholder
First book of law
Gripping the tome tight
Glistening sweat beads
Ever he’s eying
The Sword of Damocles
Time knows no lord
Age: conqueror of tyrants
Rule laid to dust
Thrones lost beneath the sand
Everyone fears him
And the iron fist
Horror to hear that
You’re on his list
Spite and hubris
Haunt each of his nights
Secret betrayers
Projecting his own fright
The tyranny of everything!
Men with lost names
Effaced off their graves
Long forgotten
Kings with no claims
Statues crumble
Effigies tumble
History licks a finger—and turns the page...

Angel of Grief
All hail the idol that weeps
Downcast regretful eyes seep
Under the deluge of tears
The weight of a thousand years
(But what is this?)
It’s the croak of crows in the empty yard
It’s the pile of ash after hope is burned
And the raven unfurls louring wings
And the Angel of Grief softly sings
It’s the reason we cry at the end of the bed
It’s the pain we feel as we bury the young
It’s the slow fall of the withering rose
It’s the wisp of smoke at a candle’s quench
And the raven unfurls louring wings
And the Angel of Grief softly sings
All hail the idol that weeps
Downcast regretful eyes seep
Under the deluge of tears
The weight of a thousand years
It’s a spill of ink on the tattered page
It’s a promise broken before it was made
It’s the gilded cup that is never full
It’s the gathering silence between our wails
And the raven unfurls louring wings
And the Angel of Grief softly sings
All hail the idol that weeps
Downcast regretful eyes seep
Under the deluge of tears
The weight of a thousand years

Descent Into....
Delving new lows
Fire burning, screams and throes
Reality not clear now
I see fire when I close my eyes
The people can’t see them
But there are devils beset to rule
I walk now among them
The horror’s here and the hell is now
Reaching into darkness
The quiet, the starkness
Gates open
And I fall down
(Plunging downward, ever downward)
No shackles no keyholes
But no escape from a withered mind
I’m freezing I’m burning
I took the turn before I saw the sign
Could I be mistaken?
Is it a man or a mass of flies?
Lead life vest cruel strength test
Gravity and the Lord of Lies
