| Abominable imagery floating above me
|
| Visions of the dreadful never seen
|
| My inner sanctum dies and grins in glee
|
| I dearly refuse to follow maxims
|
| therefore I’ve placed my body in isolation
|
| Departed from all I’ve ever known
|
| I cut the bond between nemesis and relation
|
| A snowfall in this mental winterland
|
| So hungry this blizzard must be
|
| I cannot fathom that which covers me
|
| A mental ledge on fire
|
| A maze of barriers
|
| Close to the outmost edge
|
| stands my gallery of embarrassing characters
|
| The stars are written in misery
|
| as they so profoundly spell the word forlorn
|
| They are my comfort and destiny
|
| Pierced by reality my lifeline ripped and torn
|
| My mental recluse and isolation
|
| is whatever little hope that still remains
|
| Spiritual fixed asphyxiation
|
| A chokehold conjoined with inner chains
|
| In my heart the summer has died
|
| There will be no more vitality
|
| I am the tundra, I am forever winter
|
| I remember when there was a warmth
|
| Mental meadows of mirth and innovation
|
| but now my soul has shed it’s leaves
|
| Utterly stripped of my dignity
|
| left in spiritual asphyxiation
|
| I slowly balance upon this ledge
|
| as the dancing flames of devastation licks my soul
|
| So close to falling, close to the edge
|
| The perplexing sense of loosing self-control
|
| As I go down into the unknown
|
| there’s a multitude of characters I liberate
|
| King and deceiver, thief and crone
|
| they’re a part of me and what my psyche generate
|
| Winter keeps calling, beckoning me
|
| An ageless eternal, cold and dark December
|
| Memories drying out from my corpus
|
| Characters cling to death, yet still dares to remember
|
| My vision’s fading with mind and time
|
| In the end my body withers down and dies
|
| A mental breakdown in polar clime
|
| No more characters alive as I have lost all allies
|
| The fire’s burning in every vein
|
| as I write these memoirs in total desperation
|
| Into remembrance, yet all in vain
|
| as there’s no escape from spiritual asphyxiation |
