Forever dreams,
Of distant beams
Riding away,
Over slow decay

We know not,
The parting air

Of our despair
Of a silent sigh
And quiet –
Slow goodbye.

The frame of ghostly light within
Glowing, dark and cold
Sights its lonely, now begin,
Re-balanced, through its fold:

Our found, unnerved, deserted space
From sunken graves reborn
Sounds it’s brazen, silent chase
Through resplendent, scowls of scorn:

Of onward, slight, in downward cross
Unleashed, to fling its fight
Dons it’s shadow, echo loss
To a once, remembered light.

Driving your heart
Right through your soul
Rewrites your true will
Through command –
For control.

twilight of milky sky’s,
after massive stars, in spark
may ever after sadness say farewell
as I depart
for throughout time and fractured space
the epic battles bear me far
I pray to see my masters face
as I depart for yonder bar.

O reflection,
The great purple witch rides this night
Untrusting, through prow or strength
Without safety of flight
For by glance, by wicked snare
Lies the darkend smile, of Rigel’s glare.
