Phantom Shadow

A phantom shadow follows me
Everywhere, night and day
He gives me no rest
From memories of blood and diamond
That created a fragmented portrait
Of an illusional dream
That enchants incessantly
The glare of diamond afar
So enticing, so inviting
It blinds me of the deep abyss
That protects it from being taken
Far from its comfortable throne

Discovering the Lie

Days go by...
Sometimes zipping through
Sometimes crawling by
When I don't think of you

I thought I had a clue
To the route to happiness
I went on it to the yonder blue
Onward I press

I thought this was best
Then I realized I'd die
In my own worst guess
Discovering the lie

The Words All But Lie

The feathery clouds drift by
As I let out a very long sigh
Trains go in, go out the station

Letting loose the reins of my imagination
Pouring out all my passion
Onto this fragile sheet

The pen, the blank pages greet
The flat surface and ink meet
The words all but lie

Adding...

There are countless numbers
Appearing insignificant alone
But when amassed together
They can overwhelm

One malignant cell
Poses no harm
But when multiplied
Can kill

One drop of blood
Trickle down a pool
Of already blood shed
Adding...
