1. PENANCE

To know your kind
A saving grace
To be your very own demise
I see in threes
I am seeing black blood as pouring rain
Wondering what it means
To become whole again
To be able to breathe
Clean air or your skin
Some days remain
As bodies we hold
We still own them to owe them
The moon sings to the forest
Old lores of precious darkness
And death leaves
In hindsight, going clear
As deep as the ocean
Serenity for centuries
To keep you here
Yet as empty as these veins
The longing and a promise


2. LIVID

I have seen you passing through
Like leaves in a storm
As wind to a forest fire
With a brazen, dying echo
That escaped your mind the other day
It seems as though
All will be lost and forgotten
In no time
In due time


3. WITHER

This holy flesh will not obey
A seemless terrain
For a moment, these memories fire
I have no place here
You bring the rain
You are the raining fire
The blood in my veins
A seething light
The winds of ice
That circle the abandoned door
Writhing, we wither
