Horseman, the third: Famine.
|
Please read the two previous 'Horsemen': I and II .
I am the third, a sunken-eyed vision,
my touch is a blight on the land;
I burn like the sun, unwavering in my mission -
unstoppable as a singing dune's sand.
Vast......Read More

Fractured and Incomplete.
|
I. Low.
A silence surrounding
a silence within;
impenetrable,
echoes fall dead,
like a rain of musical notes
or tears.
Each one falls
dull, soundless, empty
collected in pools,
ripples expanding to tomorrow.
The day's light and warmth;
wanting to scratch out the sun:......Read More

Failure.
|
My tongue is numb & fumbling;
I cannot find the words
to soothe your pain:
and the distance widens
becomes a gulf
we cannot see to cross.
Turn away instead,
hiding behind anger & shame.
An awkward moment,
words are stilted, useless -
cause me to fidget;
eyes......Read More

Eternity.
|
Night falls and darkness encloses us in it's silken rapture. Turn out the lights and lie down with me. Chase away these hauntings that linger from the day. Only in the darkened womb of the night, eyes open and blinded by light's absence, can I start to breathe again.
Don't leave me......Read More

Knowledge.
|
If you could see what I see
staring unblinking into the void of time
you would tear out your eyes
prefer a wave of blackness to a sea of unyielding truth
If you could hear what I hear
laments in the flaling agony of death
you would choose madness
prefer screaming silence to......Read More

Bend.
|
Bend until you break,
like a prisoner on a wheel.
Bend to my whim and will,
like a sapling to the wind.
Bend until you break.
Flurries of fists.
“I will always love you.”
Volleys of shouts.
“I will always love you.”
Bruises and whispered......Read More
