2 Poems of Downward Spirals

Under Moon

The happiness that we've forgotten
lay behind us malignant and rotten
discarded as a child
in the darkness it has begotten
a brood of regrets
to fester the hunger
to linger the death

for the things we can't save
for our life already lost
they spawn lunacy

lunacy
atrophy
under moon
and over earth

travel long
in a hearse
all your days
end in a coffin

under earth
to spite the sky
love your grave
and don't ask why

you should know
you'll be a place
for flowers to grow
for trees to know

you should know
in atrophy
under moon
lunacy

for the things we save
for the lives in vain
they fester the hunger
they linger our death

a beast of regret
discarded and scorned
lies behind us brooding
the shame



My Blizzard

I can't even remember the things I enjoy
I cannot envision the faces of the instruments I employ
Whenever I try to look past the glass
well that's when the snow comes down
and I try to see past my blizzard
but I just can't see your rain
at least here behind my banks
I'm finally safe from the pain

Here away so far from town
the snow falls like angel's down
least there's no one to see
my kingdom of sin
or the state that I'm in
well I'm so frozen and frosted
my heart's pumping cold
I had your heat but I lost it
now if he came along I'd let the Devil in
I'd let the Devil in and all of his flames
for my home is already the den of a liar
and I fear no fire
and I cannot fear flame
for far away the rain comes down
and you're drowning in pain

Bloody amazing work, like the lady said, Under moon is a groovy piece of art, awesome emotion, lekker play on words. Thoroughly enjoyed it...

[Jeff Miller]

These are both good. There's a lot of emotion in them. Under Moon is my favorite of the two. I look forward to seeing more
