shadows dancing
on the edge of perception
stripping my sanity
losing ground
losing grip
going, going…
there it goes again
see them play
the precipice of reality
fantastic nightmares
born of broken thoughts
off the wall
no king’s horses here
just another fool
seeing past serenity
a man and his shadows
a world of secrets
just beyond the veil
Don’t ask, really. I can only blame this one on way too much prog rock on Spotify.
It was just one night
at the end of the world
You showed me your soul
such beauty and grace
flooded in mystery
a glint of steel
softness and silence
I tried to reach out
missed the signs
look, but not touch
and I was found lacking
(in what, I’ll never know)
a fleeting glimpse
stripped of nirvana
cast out of eden
you pulled away
into the night
taking all color
all light, all life
into oblivion with you
alone as the sky falls
alone as the mountains fall
it was just one night
at the end of the world
you took my breath away
as the stars faded
then walked away
leaving me empty
awaiting the end…
I have no idea where this came from, exactly. I had two of the lines come to me separately over the last day or so, then combine in my head and force their way out as this. Sorry for not keeping this place updated, for those of you who actually pay attention. It’s been a one heck of a ride lately. Hopefully I can find some time to devote to this place in the near future.
