Black Velvet Rose: Book of Thorns

Alone in this little corner

      Of your lost demented world.

Do you remember me?

      As I remember you?

In another time, another place

      We watched the fading of the horizon.

With a deafening howl of lost souls

      Through winding screams.

 

 

On a powdered breeze

      Of diminished lines.

A reminder of white laughter

      Amongst blackened days.

A sky ablaze with lightning sighs

      And static tears from empty eyes.

Full of discarded promises

      In a land of twisted dreams.

 

 

A mesh of shadows

      Reach across the skies.

I sit alone

      Waiting for one small glimmer

Of your silent return.

      A comfort of abundant fear

Washes over my weary bones

      Leaving a blue haze of darkened ashes.

 

 

As the blackened tears

      Flow from these wicked eyes.

A mournful soul plants seeds

      Of velvety black.

They sprout and bloom

      In a pool of blackened sin.

Only to wilt and die

      In a brimstone flame.
