"Perilous skies over evergreen furls
And a whisper that can’t be ignored
Enticed to drift on ambitious paths
For one ceremonious call
Grasp the sands
With exalted strength
Breaching the veil
Of fantasy
Is this fortuitous to replace it all
Etching anagogic rebirth
Cast in memories yet to endure
Spellbound by the nightside allure
Release to the path
Torn out from time
Displaced from this world
To breathe the dream
The wonderful unknown is alight
Glowing in eternal ardor
When breaks the dawn, the time will come
To render the dream in truth
Awaken, and come the day
so I may slip away
Awaken, and come the day
so I may slip away"

"My eyes anew, from the painted world
Delivered at dawn on spectral wings
Fleet of foot, to the ground
Toward the wooded hollow threshold
Withdrawn from home, I nod farewell
To meet with fate on the forest road
Drifting through golden rays guiding above
Befallen by the whim of a song
Illusion breaks time’s stranglehold
Uniform reality gives way to fantasy
Wayward auras of vibrating might
Great hues of destiny penetrate my sight
I walk entranced by a mystery
Of the voice outlasting my dream
In a darkened shade, it speaks to me
Perhaps to make sense of it all
Hear it, while you are young
Live it, when youth’s on the run
Speak it, when twilight’s begun
Share it, before you are done
The passage lies amidst the land
And only for me to find
The gates of strength an epiphany
Masked by an unknown source
Bound here now, a beast untamed
I am eager to drink it's blood
For carnal thirst ignites the way
And sings in my ears once again…
Hear it, while you are young
Live it, when youth’s on the run
Speak it, when twilight’s begun
Share it, before you are done
A howling whisper reads a tome for all
The pages are writ once more
An old man unlocks the door
I will continue on, evermore…"

Vestiges / Horizons

"Here amidst the arduous ascent to urgent heights
In the depths of fear I knew my worth and the only place to go
A twisted storm surrounds the peak I'm destined to endure
The mountain will forever serve as vestige of former self
It desires languid souls accepting they were wrong
There is no horizon on somber steps veiled from the dawn
As testament to my reverence
Shedding all remaining innocence
Grounded by the certainty of time
Truth lies in the will to survive
Ravaged by the winds that cut just like a thousand blades
My blood drips on crimson stones that tell the hardened tale
Many try but fail along the slopes of tarnished years
Defeat will claim the ones who’ve settled in their doubt
In blackened swells I close my eyes and remember the sun
Transcending to a brighter place where life has just begun
As testament to my reverence
Shedding all remaining innocence
Release my fears down in the abyss
Improvidence be my nemesis
Driven by the certainty of time
Vehement in the need to survive
Stand unyielding on the mountain high
Entranced by the grandeur of it all
A bright born sun ignites in opulence
For the ephemeral ride towards nightfall"
