Where Night is Not Black

Brilliance but I’m dumb and blind
Lost in the light I cannot find
The solitude of your heart
The depth of beautiful eyes

Silence but I am waiting
Praying for, I fear saying
The words that I feel
The words that make you

Romance but I’m taken
Trembling I awaken
My love for you ignites
Your short answer invites

Memories faded ink,
Sun scorched parchments,
Miss if you blink,
Stars smile from above.

The wild rose grows deep
Trouble grows with time
Releasing the call now,
Like a lone bell chime

The moon watches far
As walking by water
Passing a sole star
Lighting the path we walk

Now lying still she sleeps
My lips catch her hint
Sweet like a wild rose
Eyes with a soft tint

Open now they beam
Like soft rays of energy
Feelings like a dream
Love as true as pure life

Unnatural length of night
Bright skies stand held back
Wild roses sleep near
In the darkness black

Up comes the morn sun
Now the rose has changed
Now unlike the one
Red now is the wild rose

Angels storm the citadel
The King is taken from his throne
Replaced by a heavenly angel
God looks away

Saved by grace no longer
Mercy covers only a multitude
The blood flows from the altar
But still salvation pervades

Has time gone to sleep
Crept into the shadow realm
Now children and demons weep
Holding on to the end together

Angels storm the citadel
The King is taken from his throne
Replaced by a heavenly angel
Jesus wept

Disgrace like blood clings
Last though to leave, also first
Honor stained by life
Now only for death do I thirst

Into exile, body not but spirit
Out of joy, arms now soiled
My homeland now memories
For all my brothers toiled

Left for good or worse
Right or wrong who knows
Writing my wrongs with words
Reading the lies I chose

White, snow falls, deeper
Black, clouds thunder, loud
Anger screams like a demon
But I in silence stand bowed

Intricate toy men wait
Waiting for commanders
Orders to receive
They sit forever, fate

Looks like no children will play
Into darkness she passed
Solidarity for the solider
So a man of war must pay

The sword falls not
Disease creeps over the walls
No strength may hold back
The bodies fall, they rot

The strong men would defend
Weak children and mothers,
But the war is raged
And the men cannot mend

No blood to wash away
The city burns away the stench
The skies open and pour cleansing water
No more will children play

The silence that has succumbed,
Beautiful, because we won
The atrocities are cleaned away
Truth we have numbed

A thousand eyes follow the dreams
Fear banished to cold mountain peaks
A nation sleeps watched
All seen, even the baby screams

Surrender the individual to the whole
Make one out of two
Suspend reality for a minute
Let go of your moral soul

By starlight I saw you,
In the moonlight I loved you,
Come to me when the stars are bright ,
And dance again in the moonlight.

Love doesn’t matter tonight
My light flashed last
It’s about fun tonight
Enjoy it if you wanna last

Bitches don’t choose
Whores maybe but not you
Sorry you have to lose
This life is nothing new

I’ll give you love
Even though I’m master
Slaves can rise above
Just work it harder

Love is empty tonight
My bid held out to the last
We’ll fall in love tonight
Enjoy it while it does last

Girl,

I want to let you go
But I hold you near
Time with you is long
Yet poisoned with fear

The clock ticks away life
My youth is spent writing
Letters of love to you
But my lips I’m bitting

Screaming like a demon
Cracked lips can’t kiss
My stretched temple is breaking
Stolen from the sanctuary is bliss

Silence is splitting my soul
The temple is knocked down
Order chaos, Life death
The pauper wears the crown

-Your Boy
