Travail Pt. II - Animus
The becoming one, alive in presence
Pretense
The gears unwind
Circle the wheel
A life transient
Come into being
Light meets the eye
Encompassed sight
A memoir
Travail
Time of toil and trouble
Avail the dimming of night
Travail
Bear witness, the hour of peril
Whereas deception
So frighteningly reigned
Frighteningly razed
Anima, set to animate
Delinquently fading away
Capricious fate slowly deteriorates
The bounds between life
And death
Patiently
Decaying awaits
Uncertain
Where it may lead
Come into being
Light meets the eye
Encompassed sight
A memoir
Anima – Animus,
Forming duality
Parting of equilibrium
Unbalance
Shifting of the scales
Everlastingly circling
Tribulation
The hourglass has spilled
To ordeal soul and spirit
Abstracting symbols of self
Unconscious senses
Travail
Bare witness, the hour of peril
Whereas deception
So frighteningly reigned
Travail
Amaranth
Confined in a frame
Estranged of self
Grant me a touch
The vibrant life
A glance upon
Voyager unveiled
Diminishment of time
A life revitalized
Bygone I’ve drifted
Paved the path
Where none dared to tread
I’ve found passage past the dread
Abroad, lay scattered
The remnants of our being
Scathed marrow and bone
Weathered and weary
Caress the vibrant life
Before it grows dim
Amaranth
A delusion
Disarmed the hands of creation
As ire conquered
Loss of self
Bygone I’ve drifted
Paved the path
Where none dared to tread
I’ve found passage past the dread
Abroad, lay scattered
The remnants of our being
Whilst lay broken hearted
Nigh is the hour of closure
The candles will shimmer
Blown out by the night
Grand Denial
The Scourge
Perpetual chaos
Disassembly – piece by piece
Disillusioned – beyond grief
Illness wreaks
Dull descendants of bleakness
Witnessing a relentless tragedy
Unfolding catastrophe
Perish in pestilence
Reap and sow, dust and bone
Famine lingers, Death
Beyond the guise
Grand denial
Disposal of life
Compromised
Terrorized
Terrified
Demoralized
Mortified
Mor-ta-lize
The final air I breathe
Mere lifeless I lay
Envisioning gray
The end
Wanton death is dealt
In the waging of war
Amongst masses
Buried beneath the soil
Beyond the guise
Grand denial
Disposal of life
Compromised
Terrorized
Terrified
Demoralized
Mortified
Amid the End
Reminded of loss
Betwixt calamity
Wearing thin
The lineage diminished
Scythe at hand
Sever the ties
Dwell down below
Decline of man
Frail and weak
A Grand Denial
Sever the ties
That bind
No return
Circuition
Sundering calls
Echoes from a distant memory
A reflection of what should have been; what will never be
The waves are crashing, against forgotten tides
as our roots will remain, confined within a frame
Wide awake
While I lay at the roof of the world
Everlasting
Circuition
Rotation in motion
Encircling, engulf in
An endless spiral
The vast mist
Laid bare
False
Lay dormant
Awoken, by the silence inside
As perception will fade into night
Lives lost, I’ve shed my colours
As all daylight dies, I’m closer to home
Wide awake
While I lay at the roof of the world
Everlasting
Circuition
How the mighty have fallen
As our grasp slips away
Out of sight
Iridescence
Deflective of light
Untainted, untethered
Harnessing as days are decaying
Seeping in deeper
Withered
Glimpse upon a tainted mind
Entangled by the heart of man
Reaching deeper and beyond
As the void smothers whole
Dreading, weaving, a lifetime in despair
The thread, thinning
Lost in translucent glance
Our time has come to walk amongst the shadows
Hollow vessels linger on, feeding off hope
For I’m withered
Gone with the wind
Astray on the tide
Falling from grace
Gravitating towards, Desperation
Delve between the layers of woe
Spiralling out of the dusk
Grasping let light take a hold
The blood comes cleansing
Sent my inner dread adrift
The lucid air I breathe
Takes me across distant shores
Where I am whole again, reborn
Withered, so discordant
Suffer ever more
Trust no, false conviction
Find meaning within
For I’m withered
Lost and castaway
Far apart of initial destiny
Cursed I may be
For I lived in fallacy
The purpose was mine to be
Mine alone
Slip away into dreadful being
I have reached my destination
A call to home
Slip away into resentful healing
I have reached my destination
Alight, luminous
A calling so prosperous
Soaring up high, upon the horizon
Await our return
For I am withered
Inner Paradigm
In life you’re obliged to choose
Empathy or disdain
Purpose of resentment or hope
Essent of ethical origin
Arrogance, the attitude accelerates
Never felt this thrill before
It feels so deviant, feels surreal
Charity, gift of generous nature
Attracted to one
One and the same
In duality
Deciphering
Parting of sentience
The opposites
Disparity
Enticed by the antagonist
Sympathy, Apathy
An imperative choice, that must be made
Ravenous affinity
All sentiments are hunted prey
Plight, Fright
A lunacy, Absurdity
The quarreling polarity
Search for the answers
Seize the rightful purpose
Longing to resolve it
Indigenous complexity
Feed me, quench the hunger.
Gnawing from within
In silence
Resonant hunger
Resides inside
Side with one
The innocent
Predicament
A jester of deceit
Felt hesitance
Farewell
Telltale kings of mind
Inner Paradigm
Woven Archetypes
Seize the rightful purpose
Longing to resolve it
The quarreling polarity
Bound by my morals
Feeding the quandary
Picked and decided
The indigenous complexity
Circuition
