My Frontiers

I fought triumphing tears
As my grief swallowed me up
For your gentle goodnight
Left me shaken and broken

So I wandered to the end of my heart's piers
And struggled to, with reality, sup
By the light of twilight
Still my tears came like a foundation...

Stay my fears in your grave
While I sleep in my dream's cradle
Where my favourite fantasy lives
Take with you, woe's tears

As sorrow's tears engrave
A trail of varnished grace upon God's easel
Bear away the painful shivs
And let me walk to my frontiers...

Oblivion's Canvas

They said 'still waters run deep'
So beyond my eye's oblivion you searched
Sifting through the smirched
For the untouched dust-heap

'Til abrasively you stumbled upon my curiousity's ocean
And as transparent waters were riven
You lost images to distortion
And saw once again that unfathomable oblivion

Do not swim so deep
Lest you forget to breathe
And in darkness' wreathe
Let me in oblivion, sleep

My eyes are untried
In this world of prejudice
Where I wander upon God's canvas
There on oblivion's seaside

I'm only a waif
In this sphere of prodigy
A burning bougie
Of oblivion amongst strafe...
