The Fall

A tear falls
And crystalizes.
The light hits it
And it shimmers
With all the colours of the rainbow.
It hits the ground
And shatters
Into a thousand pieces.

Akurgan

Roarch

Black as night
And smooth as silk;
A shadow in the night.
The silent creeping
Of a night-dark shape.
A whisper on the wind,
But no other noise.
The fire you used to protect you
From the night's creatures
Is soon encompassed by one.
The purple eyes regard you silently.
But you are afraid
And poised to run.
You flee the fire.
And the night creature
Stares sadly after you,
Weeping.

Wishes of sweet dreamers
Come from this one.
Life loves the weary soul.
The bitter-sweet sadness
Mixes together
In this one.
To say goodbye,
To close the door,
Perhaps to find,
But first need the strength
And the will
Of this one.
You will know this one
When you see,
But will this one
Know itself?

The Night

The shdows cast across my room
By candlelight flame through the dark
Of things to come
And of things past.
Here I sit and write
My heart and soul
Down onto paper.
The night is my time
And my friend.
No one can take this away from me
For it has been given to me
By the dark itself.
Unheard and unknown melodies
Filly my ears at this time.
Is it magic?
Or my imagination?
But I don't think I will ever know.
