As the last Leaf falls

Visions of atrocious soil

a plagued miasmal midden

my heart so scared between it all

and no, those tired seekers

didn´t see the coming end

just those who knew swore by their hearts

that no god nor satan would tear them apart.

greed blights divinity

and so it has always been

ever since I can remember

and it always will

where reason and time stands still

where the withered crowns of ancient kings

lose inevitably their artless grace

there I will stay with them, damned and displaced

these bones grow old and rotten

just like the branches of my kin

whose former reign is long forgotten

spattered with tears of the desperate

Exodus of astrayed masses

devastation left behind

so many seasons came and went

upon this places of the blind

curses over the doctrine

of feigned prudence, bread and wine

the divine countenance of earth

crumbles into dust beneath the fears of man

the preachers of mankind are treacherous

serpents in stoles

hollow words craved from above

subservience is not enough

denial of our origin

nursery tales of hell and sin

forgive what must be forgiven

but please redeem me from this certainty

take forth this hull that scourges me

flesh and bone all alone and a spirit so exhausted

eyes that must witness the odious abuse

limbs that won´t move and lips without excauses

oh how could it come that far they nill see what they are

murderous issues without any sense of compassion

the bloom of life´s bosom in her sanctity

is crying so bitter

may you close thy eyes now

and death comes finally

And I... I remain with thee

with diamond cover over what is left

and still to see

the frozen monument of beauty moribund

Nigh is the last cold breath

unbroken charm wings the last leaf down on its final dance

sleep well.. sleep well... my love
