For Each Man Kills

In the weak of the night I have once again found
A way to apathy's arms
And this gloom spreads behind me like wings of great bats
Bare in front of his late evening charm
And I tread upon it as if all was my kingdom
To master, the taste of the bite
The skies have many stars tonight
And each of them is sharp
As the pale midnight glow bathes my psyche
Your window outcasts me outdoors
Your sharp silhouette cut in yellow light
As to blind the confetti of ghosts
A widowed moan then escaped my lips
I could not rule this wondrous art!
I poured all my anguish in one silenced wish
Be a nightmare in your serene fright
I narrowed my eyes to a slit
Where her rage was immense to trespass
My mortal instincts could sense, but see not
As darkness from darkness parts
I scorned to her essence, I scorned to her kind
I have turned my back to them all
For kindness is but the perversion of kings
And compassion in their compass foul
She has the wild eyes of prey
To jewel in black skies
The moon herself in her crest!
But her eyes bled of acid when I reached out
To touch the unknown of her chest
The serpent's voluptuous tongue, and his kiss
That embedded a frail lament
Bewailing the spirits of wayward winters
When he lent me his veins and his fate
And when all is lost and nothing left in here
The swirl of the tide where furies rest shall rise
He shall repay thrice for this forsaken falsehood
Ban him from the woods, conceal his lying eyes!
Open your veins for my heart is opaque
And truth has long left us forlorn
Man exceeds all beasts; I'll rejoice
As the wolves in your fine winter mourn
For each man kills the wilderness
That lurks in troubled minds
The creed of prey, the nameless wind
The passion in the tide
The deadly need, the phantom crave
Of what was once and lost
For he had killed and he had lived
To disobey his oaths
And each man kills and you have too
Your lying tongue judged well
You killed the beast inside of you
Dismissed my mortal cells
For each man kills, and each man slays
The bleeding hope. And I
But this man killed in many ways
Yet this man did not die!
