fallen angel

some words are steeds with silver wings
some hearts will never fly
they trudge, poor grimy earthbound things
tucked to a lowly high


scars come a cheap in brass linings
souls are sold in bargain
tempest lashes out the ruffled wings
bitter cold and beaten


some notes wounds in perfect strings
rising back from the fire
pure fear stealthily engulfing
dazed in circles and guile


breaking free this bondage halo
invoked the brutal grace
aroused the lost soul in limbo
jaded from endless chase


appeased are the tears and wailings
pitch black turns crimson
blades of light cuts through the gapping
bathes the bleak dungeon


scream, fill the acid lungs with life
billows the smoke of seethe
embrace, consume the blinding white
dust ashes of defeat


rise fallen angel from discord
rise fallen angel rise.

black cinderella

Bitter night, I close my eyes
I see your face in disguise
In masquerade, in pitch parade
Bleeding lips in a charade

Crisp wind blows the veil
Reveals the tears you dispel
You throw me with a chilling stare
Heart’s agape in tainted fear

Black Cinderella vain in waiting
Holding the broken glass shoes
I hear your heart is breaking
For a prince who never paid his dues

Keep waiting, hiding, masquerading
Lost in your eyes of endless searching
Hundred years is gone and passed
No phantom appeared from the mist

Cinderella in endless waiting
Break the line where widow marches
Turn your back a perfect wedding
Throw the bouquet of dead roses

Cinderella in defeated dreams
Hear the song of broken strings
My beating heart will take you in
I will save you from dragon’s lair
