Lethe

Here after the rush, gems, mines,
Wait for flesh to be crystallized.
Aroma of the asphodel,
Curse the air with an eluding spell.

Drink here from the river Lethe,
Dreams and doctrines abandoned.
Souls left to be subsumed,
See the grave under clearest blue.

Amethyst

Dionysian Shadows
Haunt with eyes of a Bengal.
Maiden fair, under cypress,
Cries her tears of amethyst.

Your ivory heart pours and cleanses mine,
Devouring the scars that have clawed my mind.
Maiden blessed with enduring love,
Let me follow through the vines above.

Tempter's blood, its allure,
Draws from lust the elixir.
Fruit of the vine,
Graze her crown so divine.

Your ivory heart pours and cleanses mine,
Purity melts within veins of wine.
Maiden borne in amaranth,
Forgive me, I am only a man.

Iron

Branches old
Into gold
Whispers, Fire
Fields conspire

Withered rose
Its joyous ghosts
Our blood of iron
Spurned by desire

Sown all our seeds
Fall feels our reach
Gardeners hands they tire
As the labyrinth grows higher

Branches sold
Into gold
Overthrow
The empty rose

Look the crown did fail
Arose from a lotus spell
Anew

Vesper

Evening
Unfurls its mouth
Provoking
The sinews of doubt

Queen of Night
A passing reign
Surrogate Pawn
In patience, its strength

In fate and faith
In the subtle moonlit sprawl
Reverberates
A path to be followed

A chaotic mass
Fluttering in dark
Through echoes
An order enforced

Cathedrals
Impose all their might
Egos
Obscure mine own sight

Evening
Cluttered hopes and sorrows
Reverberates
In chaotic moonlit sprawl

Ambregris

Blades of ink, outlast sand and sea
Within this beast, anchors stain the deep

Obelisk, to which I am enslaved
Tell me of wisdom, its escape

Black plague of expansion, power overruled
Your flesh to stone, a commoner left eschewed

Her pillars swallow, our hands from the gallows
Algol's eyes, blessed are the blind

Cloaked
Deceived
Consumed by grey amber

Hyacinth

Zephyr's passing kiss
Dials bloom begin
Again

Winds of winters gone
Pierce my light my sun
Again

Hold my brittle bones from underneath
In the earth is where my soul's blood shall sink
Your chariots of fire and flame scorch my sights
Our hyacinths from the ashes will rise into life

Vermilion

Brushed by the creek, light beckons our fuchsia to rise
Fissures against sole vermilion shine
Is she sojourner
To your vital earth?

Elise, let your hair down
Elise, don't you put me down
Oh Elise

The land bears her viscera, but we are still villeins
Her presence doth edify, bask in the shade of her monuments

Please, I am your child
Her violet heart sweetens, colors your blood
Her amber eyes reflect the aura of dawn
Please, Please
