Echoes upon the wind, she falls. Weightlessly dreaming, gliding into the sun. Away from all being and sanity, how could this be anything less than a miracle? She gave unto you, the powers bestowed in all and forgotten. Synthesis, as all children have cried. Service to mankind and one another. Never has this been a sort that would consider this a value, yet she shall fight until the very last breath for the dream that may never come. She will be one and all. Eighteen of twenty-two angels, bestowed upon this earth to prepare you, the children, for the end. To gather those who will fight, before it is too late.

This forced love illusion
Shadowed by a dream of perfect lust
Twisted into their bodies
Crying in seductive release
The passion builds
Hatred is given way to desire
Hopes have faded far away
In this embrace from within
Attached and detached from you
What creates this heartless penetration
Until the point is sought
Where we can pretend it meant something
A laugh escapes your parted lips
And a breath into your silenced ears
Then it regains control
Fingers slide through me
As a knife through my skin
Tears flowing and blood
You fill me and devour me
Screaming the only sound
In a starless night
And the end is bitter
A parting of ways
Through the taking of one’s soul
Loneliness fills that void
I become lost in the new dream

This shining chrysalis of you
And a call into the moon
A breath far escaping
Sliding through your every pore
What could this have done
This slain treachery
Upon empty cells
Some movement stirs within
And has no discernible face
Hope strung out thin
Like so much razor wire
Stretched across an explosive view
The plains begging my demise
And your eyes upon my skin
Glittering fingers forever in thrall
So little belief in the seemingly possible
Cast aside these demon glances
And use that candid tounge
Before we may fade to static
We may never see a clear frame
But place your lips upon my eyelids
And for once let all this go
