Ashes

Ashes

I’ll tell the tale that won’t be told
Of curses, blights of young and old
The burnt, the charred, the obsolete
The perfect one who's incomplete
The blackened weave once florid stood
Now flaccidly misunderstood
A tale of ashes, gold or dust
A tale of valor so unjust
The epic stage unfairly set
Its sequel nears, filled with regret
And forth it goes forevermore
A pendulum that's keeping score
The tale is told until its not
These ashes glow until they rot
For flames that burn are never hot
And my tale is true until its not

Exile

Exile The heavens are covered in ashes,   The clouds wearing anguish and woe The angels are singing in silence For sons that they no longer know The mountains have cast down their pillars The hilltops have fallen in grief The flowers now colored in black The forests have shed every leaf The oceans lie dormant and somber The rivers have run their course dry The birds have ceased all their chirping On this day when the flames reached the sky On this day when the flames reached the sky On this day when the sages all cry On this day when the holy stones sigh On this day when destruction is nigh And now I am homeless and lonely Like a lamb lost, I wander and roam For I have perverted my duties I have witnessed the doom of my home And now I am tortured and beaten Hated despised and abused A floundering fish out of water Battered and broken and bruised   And my glory has long been forgotten The heavenly throne now ablaze Fo

Tomorrow

 Tomorrow  Tomorrow's come and gone again, the sky's still painted blue The fading light has found my eyes still filled with tears for you I wish so much that you had stayed, and not have gone away There is so much that's left undone, still so much to say I know that you are happy now, you're in a better place But what is there I wouldn't give, to once more see your face Tomorrow's come and gone again, yet I still don't understand How is this just, how is this fair, is this really a kind hand   For as you left with no goodbye, you may have failed to see How painful your departure was, how much it still hurts me And although you've gone and passed us by, you did not leave alone You took along a piece of me, and filled my heart with stone   Tomorrow's come and gone again, and still I miss you so And if you could hear the words I say, I'd want for you to know That all the tears I've cried for you, all the emptiness and pain Just goes to show the

My Garden

My Garden Come to my garden, my sister my bride Follow me there with your eyes open wide For there are the flowers of yellow and blue The tapestry painted a glorious hue A place to delight in, to claim as my own A place to reveal my terrestrial throne A place for my queen to revel and dance A place to call home if given the chance I've come to your garden my husband my groom I've seen all the flowers in glorious bloom I'll turn this ambrosial site to a home That your majesty's presence no longer shall roam A place to delight in, I’ll transform the view A place to reveal, how the whole world is You A place for your essence to come down and sing A place for your palace, an abode for the king I gave you my garden my sister my bride But now it lies fallow unfit to reside   The lilies and lilacs, supplanted with weeds Covered in filth, on account of your deeds Higher and further you chased me away Your folly and lies, led you to betray You chose to ignore me, for pleasure an
