elegy for the fallen


rose of thorns and poison leaves
splash of color to deceive
empty heart tries to retrieve
hang your head
in the grip
of disbelief

look of unrequieted grace
angel with the serpent's face
tainted with a venom trace
in the peril
of the fall's
embrace

angel with the devil's wings
thinking of the wicked things
tainted by a venom trace
hang your head in sweet disgrace

glimmering in dead of night
calling to your holy one
clawing toward your last respite
with heart and nail as black as sun

slowly does the shudder burn
faint echo of the world's turn
from open hole the sorrow pours
see-through hand
reaching down
to the core

muse of chaos slowly sings
of vandal with a thousand wings
the price of silence deftly rings
in a place
deeply taken
by the sting

angel born from sodom's night
shining of the darkest light
the vandal with a thousand wings
the shadow of a higher being

bow your head in sweet disgrace
falling down so desperately
know your heart and know your place

and hang the weight of sin on me



The Fallen


-- the punctured heart --

-- the punctured soul --
