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
