I Dream of the Deep

Water flows o'er the winding stair, though lo and behold 'tis not but air. The walls speak falsely of their type, the glass ripples and jumps to the wind's pipe. Endless towers bright and bold, What stories do you tell beneath the waves,...

Aatuylvan Anthem

Through burning skies and crimson fields, With crossed blades and blazing shields, We'll never fall, we'll never fail, We, the keepers of the sacred veil Who walk amongst the Living Light, Keepers of the darkest might. Shifting earth and...

And thus the Tower Babel Fell, Part 1/3

Forward, into the dark, my dear Away, never again to hear The voice of father's love, The passing of the years, Mankind's greatest fears No more, no less, my dove. The ship that sails at midnight, Loaded before the dawn, Technya make haste...

Sunrise

I lay w'in the darkness, trying in vain to sleep as tiredness makes me weep, and aches upon me press. Early to work, late to rise, toiling away noon to night, all thoughts by morning, crosswise. Perhaps this time I'll stay awake and bask...

Isle Dreamscape

Forever out of reach, White sands covered in green. Strangely enough on these seas, Tropical though they be to these eyes of mine, Every single one holds nothing but pine. So I marvel at impossible trees, And waters that hold a perfect sheen,...

The Deep Roads

The veil lifts away from my mind as the countryside beneath me shifts, flowing from ground and trees to massive rifts filled with the towers of my kind. I sail now where once I ran, on clear seas set o'er silent steel. Above the greatest...

Jack

I once loved a love most deep, that turned me from the light. I once loved a love so deep, that I cared not for fright. I once held death within my gaze, and caressed her in my arms, I once had night with me to bed, and graced her with my charms....

Tempo

Forward through time, backwards through space, round and round, still I have no place. Moving, stopping, seeking a thrill, or some kind of message that isn't a bill. All of these people to me have no face, as they all go 'bout the great...

Voices

The voices in my head belong to all my friends, a viking here, an officer there egos all around. Refreshed anew by this lead, a soldier bellows 'this is the end!' as I pull out my hair, and roll onto the ground. Contacts ask 'are they...

Blue Skies

Dormant branches reach up like fingers to a cloudless sky, where not even the bravest of crows fly, and not a drop of summer's rain lingers. Still the wind breathes, stirring dead leaves. The sun shines down bright, warming only those...

False Wildness

Raindrops like tears, slide down the road. Carefully trimmed plants strain with all the strength of Earth's lament against the cage of man's design. Perfect shapes for imperfect people as a rogue vine chokes out the steeple. Trees arranged...

Coming of the Gray

Frost burned out the sky, With the coming of the Gray. No fires to keep at bay The coldest of the night. The ash is here, Light the lanterns dear. The best of plans, now awry With the falling of the rains. Darkness comes to reign, And all...
