The Desert: Prismatic Prophecy

Prismatic Prophecy On a canvas of shadowed futures, And self-fulfilling monsters Innocence is often ambushed and tried By societal tradition and inbred bias A reactive repetition of folly and doubt Doomed to everlast … Yet in each pause of breath Each gap in our memories Lies the potential of...

The Desert: Eastern Resolution

Eastern Resolution I walk barefoot Through bloody sand Naked and bared In a foul cleansing My horizon graced By new lots of dust and rubble Despair and Death Moving in on schedule Hopelessness ever Playing host An open season An exclusive soiree Hair blowing hot In sequential shockwaves As warm and...

The Desert: The Fallen Spear

The Fallen Spear He passes before us in long-toothed shadows Borne aloft on his brothers’ shoulders Contained in metal insignificance Sheltered under patriotic hue Arms held in salute for the fallen spear Our bodies rigid and still As the bagpipes play, we reflect and pray Trying to reconcile a...

Echo of the Seraphim Craving the wind of a stronger heart Crying out at the gathering shadows We are desperately clinging To worlds of a future and past Out of sight Never out of our minds We stricken, many, have wandered so far Warriors, nomads waging foreign war Traveled the breadth of present...

Western Intent Nameless shadows Chaotic dreams Chase my thoughts Down gilded streets Plated in gold Fit only for fools Whose unbridled fears Pull others along Reared always moving The well-beaten path Trod by those Wallowing in tears Marked and carved By eager masters Whose planned finales Are...

The Desert: When the Devil Extends

When the Devil Extends When common sense is abrased And our frayed sensitivities Separate gaily In diaphanous streams On a hot wind We find ourselves guided By the machinations Of masters and minions Drenched in the scalding spittle Preceding sermons Of the self-styled pious So blessed with insight...

Western Intent

Nameless shadows Chaotic dreams Chase my thoughts Down gilded streets Plated in gold Fit only for fools Whose unbridled fears Pull others along Their pride gives birth To such darkness veiled Self-deception resides In that evil brood I can see the line stretching Further behind Unquestioning ever...
