EYES OF DOOM

 What is this infinite depth

You conceal beneath those eyes

Of what mystery they lead the way

That someone would have to hide

Your lashes like charging spears

Threatening if long I stare

But still your eyes so tempting

The risk has its worth to take

Of what do they seem like a gateway

An entrance only few can make

The treasure that behind them lays

Must be worth any life one can take

Your vision ever changing

Glancing all around for your prey

Inviting with your deep dark eyes

Calling with that endless stare

One says he saw in them heaven

Another claims they reach to the moon

Different people claim different sights

None of them to the truth near

For in your eyes, you’re not hiding

It’s something that you’ve locked

Your eyes of doom

Your eyes are doom.

Confessions

With a dying breath of my last smoke

My glass is almost empty

Is my life crumbling

Or am I just being paranoid

I close my eyes and wonder

How I ended up on this shore

On this hill that opens to the seas

Where lava flows out of waves

And demons onto feet my cringe

I smile to the demon in front

A monster of smoke that here floats

Is it one or plenty I know not

Where am I, am I lost

The last of the ice plate melts

It dies to save my sip

A few bubbles rise from the depths

Of angels that on it perhaps lived

…I stare deep into my glass

This hollow tube lush with mystery

For it gives me aid to continue

But takes away the path to flow

A sharp beep breaks my flow

Not inside or out it grows

Lingering on the skin of my skull

It claws at my life and more

Is it the demon calling out my name?

Has my time in this realm come to end?

But the smoky dragon is long gone

As ashes it rests in front

Could my glass be howling at me?

The last sip has been out for long

Does it claim its’ host to rush

Down it now I must?

I shake my head in disgust

What have I been reduced to…

Slowly I breathe in these shallow corners

Where darkness only should survive

Head bowed down I gaze up

There is no one in front to stare

Just blank and dark and gloomy

Life has no more shades

The door on the right is afar

The window on the left weld shut

People outside are even more worse

Jealousy hate and disgust in them burst

I reach out to grab on support

In the emptiness nothing lies

My accustomed hand reaches the glass

As a single drop rolls down the outskirts

Shame

Oh heaven you may fall

Into the pits of hell

But my sin would still be greater

Deeper than the oceans heart

Just look into my folly

And then you will feel

This disgrace I have earned

For eternity now my curse

Angels on this day will cry

The idols of god will bleed

For a future sun has fallen

Perhaps never to return again

The realm of my illusion

Today finally cut open

I see my meagre affinity

Towards the cosmic hub

I see now these black birds

To mock my soul they come

And howling my mistake out loud

In this infinite suffering am shut

My head bleeds out of ache

The beating of my heart abrupt

For I cannot bear this failure

It only cuts me up

Nothing will ever ease

This is forever going to last

A lesson very painful to learn

Makes my eyes red and numb

I can hear this noise
Floating in the air
Like a whisper of the unknown
It middles in my thoughts
Shouting at my peace

Staring at my joy
Envying my hatred
Justifying my fight
Of what this is a curse
Or maybe just a boon
I have no idea
Nor any clue
Only that I feel it
Deep down in my soul
Favoured by my thoughts
Yet opposed by my idea
It’s humming on its own
Like a cracker when it bursts
It explodes into a scream
Only to be nulled
By my very own vision
In see it in my eyes
Staring back at me
How I wish this was a lie
And only a dream in my sleep
But nay, the voice croons
It dares me to listen
For its only disturbing to envision
But death when I listen

Conversion

Hovering over my dead body

I see you dancing to no tune

What death means to you

I could never think

You stare into my eyes

I have no expression to return

This stoppage pains me

I wish to float with you

Just like a lie can cut

I lie here so open

Without nothing to stop you

I am your poor minion

An empty space on this floor

I am no drug for you

Will you ever feel me once

I doubt this only dream

Yet you turned me into this

I just don’t see why this you’d do

Surrender to Hell

On this pedestal of death I stand

Searching for my end

No fear now left to live

The end is now my friend

I close my eyes and whisper

To the depths of highest orders

Smite me down you now must

Turn these muscles and bones to fodder

My eyes dried up off tears

Blood now it starts to weep

Not fear or pain the cause

Just something inside deep

How did I end up here

To what I owe this grief

To answer an eternity is less

The questions although so brief

I whisper once again

Hear me Oh’ lord of silence

Take me now your captive

Your prison my ultimate penance

…And finally I open my eyes

There he stands a mighty knight

Not different from what I’d dreamt

Yet such a strange sight

Kneel in front now I must

A warrior’s end I seek

He hasn’t moved an inch

Yet suddenly so far and bleak

Oh but what a fool I’ve been

The devil is a crooked player

My surrender brands me a coward

No longer he’ll heed my prayer

My existence ends up a waste

A lifelong struggle thrown away

I fought for hell so long

Now drown in heaven’s bay.
