'Writers are liars by nature, but just because of that, don't discount us. For it is through our lies that we tell the truth. Our stories become the mask.'

The Twenty-Three Seas...




Black water trails paths,
 down the walls of this house...
burning grooves in the wood,
and seeping its' arctic mist into your mind...
into your moods.
 
You hear the ocean heaving beyond...
the fragile walls,
listen to the scratching of wind...
against the windows,
feel the heavy cold...
deep within your bones.
 
The rain has been falling for a millennia now...
and we have long forgotten the feel,
of warm skin against our own...
the brilliance of the afterglow of day,
forgotten a breeze that does not claw at our cheeks...
wearing away memory,
and time...
into distance.
 
 
 
Often we sit...
upon the dark rocks that surround,
this ever raging sea...
Feel the salt clogging our lungs,
the wind that ravages us with taunting fingers...
the agelessness of this land.
 
A long time ago...
we sewed within ourselves,
a flame...
a glim-light,
to light up the darkness of our souls...
and so we sit and wait,
wait for this oncoming storm...
as the land grows colder,
and our skin as the stones...
 
Our only reflections are captured beneath,
the tidal rock pools that scatter the beaches...
and cliffs,
we see ourselves...
only as a shimmering of water,
movement...
endlessness,
then briefly...
gone.
 
 
 
Can you tell us...
the truth behind what curses us?
Why we wait...
 
Can you sing to us...
can you unravel,
 the symphony our genes create?
 
Where do our glim-fires rest...
when we are centuries-past dust,
and rested well between the bones of the earth...?
 
Can you tell us these things?
For in one way or another...
they have been lost to us,
in the quiet...
in the whistling wind,
that brings change...
and sight,
but forgetting.
 
The strength to be alone...
and yet not.
 
We whisper everyday to the shells...
to the creatures of the deep,
the wales that travel skies far above...
and the small ones that live,
beneath us...
We tell them our stories,
what might be...
and what has,
and what will...
 
 
 
Aeons before,
we learnt that there was a way to come back...
and a way to see beyond,
to open the right door...
and see the path out of our labyrinth,
What we forgot...
was that the labyrinth saw,
the labyrinth heard...
and it came for us,
but...
that is a song we shall never sing,
not ever again.
 
Now we dwell in the timelessness of this ocean...
this land,
ever-stormy...
ever-colder,
and always we wait...
 
 
 
We watch the night patterns that scour the skies,
the dancing of the planets...
the illumination that fills the depths of the sea,
the figure...
shadowed and tall,
who always appears in the first three minutes...
of the third hour of the morning,
the hour we know as darkness...
Upon the sea edge.
 
 
We hear the song the dunes sing into the world...
and the brief memory,
like the most Brilliant of stars...
of seeing the universe,
melt into us...
into our forever,
until we are...
consumed.

All my thoughts have washed away...
my only desire is to see the other side of this coin,
to reach a place where time stands still...
where there are no time pieces ticking,
no eyes perceiving...
no moods influencing,
peace...
and the endlessness of the sea,
one day...
One Day.
 
Lat Infinita.

Frozen Aeons...

 
 
The whistling silence,
It bores holes in distant places...
Deep beneath our earth,
the grey warrior sleeps...
We feel these battle-torn rivers,
overflowing their banks...
To seep ice through our halls,
fog through our mind...
and we only ever dream of monsters now,
something waking in our bones...
Claws ticking and nicking the slow hours away,
spinning tunnels of depth...
Where we seek blindly for the door,
A way out...a way out...
See the ways,
we have already lost ourselves to the nothing.
Sleep, scream...spin,
Doesn't it just make you...
want to laugh and laugh,
these ghost-hours away?
I hear it coming now...
This storm of death,
the approaching darkness beyond this empty plain...
The dread that grows more viciously,
for there is no place...
not anymore,
to run...
to hide.
We look at those 2D images...
That dart their way about us,
doing this and that...
unaware of the darkness,
breathing down our necks...
Wake up,
wake up and see.
I see only death waiting...
out there,
Out wide...
The sun has gone,
and we have plunged beneath...
Frozen aeons.
