1. Together With the Seasons
As Winter fades, and Summer begins
We lie embraced as light hits the
Garden Entangled in green vegetation
Swallowed by the Earth's rich ground
Leave mankind
Come join us in the Garden of life
Strip your human
Connect with buried ages
Dew surrounds us, like stars above
And chill greets the air
She says to me, "I hope we'll never go."
But we must prepare for the Winter snow
Forget mankind
Come join us in the Garden of life
Wash away your human
Connect with buried ages
Here in the Garden
Away from it all
This life I know
Here in the Garden
Alone with her
Nothing can go wrong
What can we do to further remove ourselves,
from the shallow world of mankind,
while our world grows so cold?
Being inside each other is no longer enough,
Winter's frost can cut in, and drifts
of his endless snow.
The pathways start to corrode, insect
and serpents have hid away. Shall we join them and escape the cold?
As well as humanity?
Sweep away the dirt and take our last breath
Together lets sleep forever
Let this Garden be our elaborate tomb
And the roses our epitaph
Exit mankind
Come join us in the Garden of life
Murder your human
Connect with buried ages
Here in the Garden
Away from it all
This life I know
Here in the Garden
Alone with her
Just another forgotten age...
2. Almond Beauty
As the snow fell to freeze the moment
For a brief pause in our Winter sonnet
She looked up at me with her eyes
Her almond beauty had melt the ice
The harsh winds, began to chill
But with her warmth, my heart she did fill
The night's crystal showers had ceased to be
The snow was no match for her almond beauty
Your eyes gave life to the forlorn sky
A beam of sienna had burnt through the sky
Just like my heart, your flame runs deep
So warm the Earth, as you did me
Lay me down and take me in
And as the Earth warms us within
Your body molds unto mine
Like a single sculpture (standing, against time)
I lie beneath you, in awe of your light
Take me, hold me, have me, tonight...
Diamonds of frozen tears
Shattered upon the cold ground
Echo in their hollow silence
And sadness upon my weary frown
Meadows of frosted sweetness
Wars with Winter's winds
But, with her almond beauty
This season is brought to an end
3. Lit By the Light of Morning
'Tis love that is lost
My heart lie bleeding
One last time I caress her flesh
On this cold and wet September
morning
'Tis beauty that has vanished
It's soft light growing dim
Without it life is only living
And death is but the end
The song of the swans is all I hear
I'm lit by the light of morning I shall
never love again
Never place faith in the pleasures of life again
Never turning back
Life's wonder has abandoned me now
She said, "I'll be with you till the end"
Then her life was cast away from me
right then
Now all I have is morning
So I'll bathe in the sunlight...
Alone I'm left to face the night
A drama of nightmare bliss
Captive of it's scaly arms
And whore to it's lustful kiss
Alone I am in twilight
Of Autumns cold December warning
By beauty entombed , my love lie cold
Now I wait for morning
The tension of Night's grasp
I can't breath, I feel I'm trapped
Without you I'm left as prey
To Night's dark, grim serenade
I pause and cool my head
I know that memories lie ahead
Filled with passion and tragedy
Oh please, morning rescue me
Where to now?
Alone with the sunlight of dawns magnificence
Conception of a new day
I can breath once more
Shower me with life, and lash me with love
No longer am I captive
To Night's darkened plays
Or the moon's shadowed glaze
4. Fashioned by Blood and Tears
Set me adrift
As a snow dressed memory
Seal me with your troubles
Encased by your misery
Watch me float away
As your pain subsides
The cold sea will engulf me
Bless you, love of my life
The snow soon turns to rain
And the chill permeates my skin
I'm crystallized in this frozen grave
Lost in a sepulcher of ice
We both knew what was rightAnd you knew all along
My death would bring us joy
How could we have waited so long?
Fashioned by blood and tears
All your efforts were in vain
We could have lived forever
But died just the same
5. Fulfillment In Tragedy (For Cello and Flute)
Atonal instrumental piece.
6. Her Silence
Eyes of sienna muse and dance
To our tune of subtle romance
Exchanging of conversing stares
Casts a tune so potent, so rich, so rare
Eyes that speak whispering words and more
Gentle images opens dream's door
So graphically elicit so delicately explicit
Is your beauty and every gaze
Trapped in this routine so shapeless
But I can't let myself speak nonsense
Such a trivial thing those first words
And who am I but a songless bird
-pre-chorus-
Forever in need of substance
But won't find it in that empty dance
-chorus-
You deserve so much more
I want to give what I adore
My heart bleeds it's bloodied tune
A silent serenade for you
Can't find the words to articulate
A fantastic text to saturate
With these words I shall release myself
From your eyes to be never confined
I can't speak empty words
So is silence the option?
The comforting warmth of absent phrase
Trust in the quite dignity of sight
Where are the impeccable lines?
Where are golden stanzas, surreal?
The couplets of rich poetry?
Dancing words of passion and romance?
7. Our Illuminated Tomb
Where have we come from, you and I?
Like two truths in a world of lies
We sew ourselves with in our hearts
Bounded by our human and flesh filled art
Her touch was warm and light
But their cold stares still fill the night
Life it may continue on
It's mechanized rash dragging along
She shared my blood, and I drank her lust
We lay naked upon a bed of trust
And as we watched the bleak sundown begin
Their sinister whispers stirred within
Bind me in your embrace
I'll enter you by all of love's grace
A beating heart within your womb
Rebirth of the past to destroy our present tomb
The world's epitaph lay on a screen
For all of us to pass and to read
This brave new world has been left to us
My love's last kiss and now my son
