Absent Requiem

Absent Requiem
By Sam (Drowned by Darkness)

Airy, so airy nights…
The breeze wisps away the light
Cemetery graves are home to harboring slaves-
As the pitiful pick their fights

The starry dark sky is cold
And the embers cease to live
As the lovers try to make new from old…
From sorrow's legs and limbs

Fire grasps within its hands
The evil plans gone wholesome
As heaven tries to make amends
Life is but a requiem

Green, luminous grass stained red
By the blood spent from the warriors
They dyed this earth, scarlet for best
As they now are heroes, lain to rest

Many eyes shot, afraid from wonder
Others ponder, and begin to tantrum.
As time grins and shudders a laugh…
Life is but, a requiem.

Lonely Nights
By Sam (Drowned By Darkness)

Tragic, lonely nights…
I sit by the fire; drowsy.
My eyes shift, left than right-
As I imagine you coming closer

Your eyes are sapphires…
Glistening, against the moon.
As I look towards your attire-
I gasp, like some idiotic buffoon

But yet you are only imagery…
Only… a figment of my thoughts.
I try to keep on looking towards you-
But I seem so lost.

My life is like an ice cube…
Slowly melting away
And it's like this, on these gloomy winter nights,
That I wish for the better days
