It’s all so cold
lost and lonely, veiled by frost-
be quiet, I’m told
never speak up, no cost
never any loss-
untouched in gold gleaming
a jewel tossed.
Metal frame, seeming
empty as the world, yet-
inside burns a flame.
What is love like, never met?
Emotions I can’t name
fill a shell-
soft and weak, ready to die.
For death chimes a bell,
with unending tolls it cries.
White earth, cloudy sky-
is there any difference or not?
Unity and identity are lies.
Dreams and reality are bought.
No stability, no certainty, no truth-
questions and no words,
no falsities to soothe.
If I were a bird…
I would be dead, then-
isn’t murder fun?
Pain is to be shared ‘tween men
and all they see beneath the silent sun.
Sound is intangible, pure-
easiest to corrupt and warp.
A conniving lure
to catch a fat, dumb carp.
Nothing to nothing, pain to pain-
anything left?
What is madness to the sane?
I’ll sue for all the theft.
But they’re all wrong-
nothing isn’t now.
I’ve lived too long.
Soon, it’ll be over, I vow.
Please? Make it stop.
I can’t feel, except I can.
I’m repeating myself now.
Spinning in circles,
spinning in circles.
What did I say?
I can’t understand it.
Black against white-
end
