comfort

There is no comfort in this darkness
The ghosts have come alive 
The closets spit out rotting skeletons
Thoughts buzz like bees in a hive

This maelstrom of depravity will not subside
It only gets stronger with each moment
Common sense says run and hide
Curiosity says come see the end

The rat keeps gnawing at the rope
The last tether to sanity 
As masks fall away, grinning skulls appear
Hollow eyes leak out vanity

The fall never kills you
You die when you land
If this hole is neverending
What else is left to understand?

----
Have you ever wanted to scream?

burn

petals of a rose 

layers of an onion 

the endless spiral


once blind

now third eye sees

things that should not exist


the fear turns to rage

the heart engine roars

let there be no peace


only the cleansing fire

mother sun

embrace me once more.
