:Opposite Atoms
{added December 12th, 2000}


The depths of sorrow
Like the maddening chasm of eternity
These wounds bleed from pale flesh to pale earth

There is sickness in the eye of summer
A sickness in the wind that carries this new nightmare
And the cleansing rain is just a fanciful memory

Songs of Mother taste like sugar on dying lips
The words of her secret promise
And the feel of her truth so fragile and warm

Then the thunder comes
And the sinister smile of chaos
To laugh away the joy of being loved

Now he stands alone
Stitched from the threads of love and chaos alike
Soul pulled tight with the fevers of rage

:Steel Wings
{added October 11th, 2000}

Along the open palm
Of a sky without end
He is a dazzle of thoughts
Splintered across the horizon

The whir of mechanics beneath him
Shredding the silence
Disturbing the still desert air
In a kick of dust and hot exhaust

This is home
Miles of sand and rock folded
Beneath a scorching summer
Land desolate but alive still

Just like him.

Desolate but alive.

Death in motion upon his iron steed
Flesh and metal and speed
To lose the rage of being all alone
As if he could outrun the demons within...
