Chapter 1 - Tunnels Under Land
Submitted September 10, 2005 Updated September 10, 2005 Status Incomplete | A sort of dark, questing lance into the places few dare tread alone. I feel strange about these poems, read them at your own risk.

Chapter 1 - Tunnels Under Land
Tunnels Under Land.
Lanterns lit
the candle sputters
cold and frostbite
make me stutter
As I wander
in the maze
of the tunnels
'neath the haze
I am lost
and always have been
in this dark
and fetid glen
Rambling tunnels
endless seas
rivers of filth
that run over me
In the tunnels
'neath the haze
I am running
blind and dazed.
Weep and Bleed.
Do not cry
or bleed
it is you
I need
So put down
the blade
lie with me
in the shade
I can take
you in my arms
make the hurt
leave you
I can heal
your scars
and bleed
for you
forever.
Broken Sunrise.
Eastern sky
and western vale
all is light
but fading pale
Shadows spread
but soon the die
all receeds
to the eastern sky
None are certain
why it goes
but the flames
are burning rose.
Your Coffin.
Black and white
lilly and death
flowers flutter
in your breath
Lying down
on pillows read
white arrayed
around your head
Face is cold
and hands are clasped
and the rot
did take you fast
To the place
I cannot go
past the mountains
locked in snow
Over seas
and over worlds
to the darkness
in the whirl
I tried to follow
I still have the scars
but I gave up
let you go to the stars
I am here
and you are gone
lillies falling
in the pond.
Lanterns lit
