Skittering ghosts
Expressionist lines
Down darker and deeper
Find where it lies
Sinking solemnity
Inking this against my skin
Making light of this
Fatigue permanently setting in
I till the soil of this garden
I burn the fire in the pit
I light the torches by the river
I plant my seeds and wait
Vaults that never see the sun
Reaching with nowhere to go
Sundered but still swallowed up
Flavorless and malnutritional
How I long to meet the tall grass
If I only had the gold set aside
How I long to catch the moonlight
Venus and Jupiter like eyes
Something burning down below
Strumming heartstrings
Butterfly wings
Still I'm choking on my words
More than a moth priest
God of the unrequited
Burning lungs still full of love
Belching out white smoke
All full of stars and nothing else
Empty out this cosmic dust
Sputtering this engine stops
Stalling until I end this curse
Cloaked in rumor
Legends murmured
Down darker and deeper
Find where it grows
Vines of the dreamland
Feeding on dead ends
Dreaming made endless
Death on the hit list
With such strange eons
Patterns of deep regret
Kept alive beyond all reason
Pathways I should never have tread
How I long to meet these fangs
If only I had the right blood type
How I long to match your frequency
If only I had the right vibes
I tend the water in these channels
I ferry feelings from the edge
I douse the lanterns in the forests
I meet the sun here at the West
Find the stone and hold it under
Etch this carving on these strings
Echoed in discordant thunder
In the Witch House where it dreams
Subterfuge but still I wonder
Wandering far from these streams
In memories I tore asunder
Images of elder things
If these hauntings will ever heal
Leaving such subtle scars
Finding where it lies
Down deeper in the dark
Memories of the Witch House
