convergence

deeply different instruments
play a tune across a divide
melodic dichotomy gives birth
to a spark among fumes
a new life

revel in revealing
newfound bond, pulling in
pulled out from beyond the veil
of profound meanings
striding along the way

gathering pace in time
stunning and grand in design
boiling hot inside, minds intertwined
bound in subliminal push
what's left is what's required
one touch, one move
and shush

one sip of the melding potion
to put everything in motion
everything in place

pursuit

climbing sharp edges of your wall
fingers numb, mustn't loosen my grip
remains to be seen whether i'm equipped
to survive the inevitable fall

sailing wild waters of your sea
no anchor, a broken ship's wheel
curious to learn if i'll still be here
or drown in the face of defeat

flying cold winds of your sky
feathers torn to shreds in my wings
wonder what tomorrow shall bring
do you let me in or do i die?

surrender

breathing in smoke
breathing out fire
almost remaining unscorched
among desires devoured
luck has run out running 'round nigh burnt out pyre

quit your stallin'
take it all in
flame has fallen
to the ground

unrest

stillness inside undone by rattling of spine
raindrops cut through fragile skin

thumping outside when thunders combine
seek no shelter, stand your ground

long nights collide, always left understated
blinded by the restless sun

crying out from within where the unrest begins

silence

gaze upon this wretched shell
confined within there spirits dwell
concealed from eye lie hidden away
through dark of the night and bright of the day
in silence

their stories told many a time
by empty sounds, voices denied
too frail to overcome the sinister tide
combined consciousness of those cast aside
by silence

sanity turned to ebb and flow
relentless struggle of those below
no one to be, no way to live, nowhere to go
punished and damned by the force of it all
the silence
