Time Trap

Time Trap

Time falls away
as the sky opens
her arms to
shed sweet tears

Alone, she paces,
oblivious to the rain,
drenched in uncertainty

Foggy windows hide
the clock that has long
since stopped it's ticking

Nicotine-stained fingers
flick ashes to the floor
as he taps his restless foot
and once again closes his
bloodshot eyes... on the
night that never ends

Abyss of the Soul

Abyss of the Soul

Dark is the night when the stars
won't shine, like a hole in the bottom
of the sea...

Black is the heart of the evil one,
standing over me

Ebony splinters where once was the
soul of the man who lost his way

Raven sparks fly from his eyes;
he will find no peace today
