Beneath the ocean
Darkness finds the solemn peace
Deep within its soul

Even with my eyes closed
The room begins to spin
In no particular direction
Yes, a silent sort of din
Kaleidoscopic swirls
Make waves across the walls
Home alone, in this nightmare
Where no one hears my calls
I try my best to stand up
But fall back onto the bed
Concentric circles swirl about
I’ll just lie down here, instead
Make it stop, I hear me say
I can’t take this any longer
A sedative can help me sleep
Or something even stronger
To silence all these demons
Playing games inside my head
I just want to go to sleep
It’s these restless nights, I dread

Her wings no longer held her
Charred, in the blackest night
And still a smile across her lips
As her sword reflects the light
A gargoyle sits beside her
He watches and he waits
Frozen in a mass of stone
His disobedient fate
Behind her, the sky darkens
As the clouds begin their lament
Grounded on Earth, for evermore
She was never Heaven sent

Cloaked in clouds, so dark the night
Reveals an aura, burning bright
An orb which shines, upon the land
Once hidden, now, the master plan
Illuminating, you seek to find
What resonates within your mind
A secret, no one else shall know
Behind the ebony sky, its glow
Creates an image, another place
Is it still a man, or some other face?
Perhaps it’s Luna, the goddess, who waits
For you to join her, and seal your fate

Who am I?
No air fills my lungs
I breathe in, taking all I can
Slowly, yet glutinous, never enough
To bring me back from the depths
Nor revive me, still
I struggle, gasp, in the non-existent
My eyes, blank, like the night sky
Clouded over, light diminished
Never to return, forgotten
Like a rag doll, I struggle
To find the time, that time
When the world was beautiful
And so was I
