Wings Of Lead Over Dormant Seas

Marble clouds stretch, over there

As I try to follow

This hazy shade

This icy shade

Twisting and blurring in the distance

Footsteps, elusive, disappearing

Far away in a million directions

Anywhere, elsewhere, nowhere

But I would murder a thousand deaths

I could stop the clocks and hold my breath

To grasp you for real

To grab anything

Melting wax, cracking glass

Multiply your face in many forms

Fragments and fragments and fragments

In a tunnel of mirrors

In a corridor of sand

There's a snowblinding glare

The horizons of maud land

And I roam and I crawl

Like drifting through aeon

Through iron walls abandon

I roam and I call for you

For I linger still

In this world of emptiness

I picture your fragrance

Through the afterflesh

Wings of lead over dormant seas

Burden of feathers

You, blue seraph, vanishing

Trying to flicker as you burn

In the hands of mighty sun

Incandescent solar flares

Consuming rainbows in your hair

Until you fall, hereafter

Far, far away

Dim lily-white light

Out of sight

And within smoke, within mist

Among dead and lying trees

I lose your track

I lose my way

And now this home is a maze

With children-headed walls

Spitting cries

Spitting wails

At my face

As I howl

And I die killing time

Counting hours, watching days fall

One by one

And I die spending nights

On the paths of grief, serpentine

Waiting for glows to heal

Waiting for whispers to speak

Wishing for sleep to come

And restart everything

There is a silence where hath been no sound

There is a silence where no sound may be

There is this silence

Drumming, beating, bursting my ears

She rises, rises, higher and higher

Scratches the roof of universe

Then dives, alas, sinks in my veins

Drumming beating, breathing in my brain

This is the morphic waving endless void

A ghostly orchestra for swarms of insects

Scarabs and locusts and furies play in my chest

Drumming, beating, without rest

Can you see those devouring fires

Spreading infinity and silence, this silence

Don't you hear the immaculate wings of absence

Drumming, beating in a deafening cadence

Humming blows, fractured ground, starlight in pieces

Dying haloes all around, melting seas and shrinking spaces

And where you as the world falls apart

Drumming beating, drowning in my heart

Silence will have taken your place

When I rise towards the surface

Six walls wide and blank

When I reach the riverbank

And now everything is nothingness

And nothingness is where I stand

Just a small twinkling star

Pulsing, carved in my hand

A green iris

Staring,

Gazing,

An eye wide open, a tiny fire

Tears and embers

Rolling along in my fingers

And in every searing moonbeam

Through aching mercury dreams

In every scary nightblow

I can guess your face through the floe

But anyway...

The claws of gravity can crush me

And nail me deeply

Down to the earth

I will stay at the gate

Waiting and waiting

To slaughter and trample on

Those unlighted saints

Lying on the floor

Those beasts of prey

Those stealing whores

Those starving supernovas

Those infrablack omegas

Eating love, spitting grief

From above, from beneath

Changing children into silence

This silence

This drilling, pounding presence

Endless

Soundless

Terrifying sentence

Whirling louder and louder

This silence

As a drummer
