Sliced By Ink

steel tongue warrior

 struggles

 

to interpret tribulation

 

his veils

sliced by ink

 

a growing silence

the weight of Earth

disquiets him

 

his pathway to the peak is dangerous and steep

nobody can catch him

seeking wanderer escaped

 

black flags raised high in his eyes

low man smashed beneath it all

 

If mist could be his Apostle

it would blanket the Earth with Truth

and be rewarded instead of crucified.

 

steel tongue warrior

trapped behind enemy lines

denuded and razed

author of War

believer and digger of truth

 

What savage hell fire flailed across your heart

when the beatings ripped open your veins

and the

drums

of

REVENGE

crushed 'em all

in years of darkness

 

Who Will You Become?

lean in close to kiss the razors

write it all with blood-ink 

 

on the stone wall

 

He's forced to eat the poisons

forced to rage and wail

no blinders for this process

no easy way to tell

thoughts are thrown into the chasm

they come back flying out from hell

 

his love may burn alive

but a wild creatures born

and it helps him to survive the beatings

helps him survive the storms

some version of a tortured Cerberus

escaping hell alone

escaping hell alone

 

a heavy silence disquiets his bones

nobody can catch him

 

If revenge is your center

then it becomes your only throne

 

steel tongue savage

marching on the run alone

his veils sliced by ink

spilling wings from out his bones

dragging heavy feelings to the peak

 

only beneath those dreamy stars

will his heart become released.......
