Between my thoughts

In the dark intermissions in my mind

I see something when I close my eyes

It lives inside and it shows it's face

But only in the silence of the negative space

Reflection, echo the sonnet that resides inside your empty lull

Among sands of time, or perhaps subtle tricks of the mind

Sift and release the pain forged in ruptured time

Dissociation, moralistic trepidation

"Watch me climb these poignant spires unto salvation"

"Or fall into unrelenting damnation"

"No! There must exist an oasis in this wasteland"

"Yet can you taste the blood bitter on your lips?"

Let the broken nations proclaim;

In this purgatory see your people torn

Like a veil upon your harlot bride, lay massacre to senseless pride

Elevation calls, but in self mutilation will we stall

"Calm this storm"

"No, let us burn"
