A Child's Folly
Marching men in rows Meet inglorious ends As a boy carelessly sends them all to heated bowls. A mishap with fire as he melts them down, to fill molds hand-grown. Mother comes in, face most dire: "Well that's what ya get for settin' yerself...
Zap
The light that brightest burns, is always shortest by far. And what a furnace burns in yonder star, that its light pierces daylight's turns. And too late I find, that my insectile mind, Has lead me to a clever trap, built by unknown hands....
Isle Dreamscape
Forever out of reach, White sands covered in green. Strangely enough on these seas, Tropical though they be to these eyes of mine, Every single one holds nothing but pine. So I marvel at impossible trees, And waters that hold a perfect sheen,...
The Deep Roads
The veil lifts away from my mind as the countryside beneath me shifts, flowing from ground and trees to massive rifts filled with the towers of my kind. I sail now where once I ran, on clear seas set o'er silent steel. Above the greatest...
I Dream of the Deep
Water flows o'er the winding stair, though lo and behold 'tis not but air. The walls speak falsely of their type, the glass ripples and jumps to the wind's pipe. Endless towers bright and bold, What stories do you tell beneath the waves,...

Stillness
The trees bow down as the ice king dons his crown. The morning dew submits to wint'ry will. The world is bathed in white, and birds no more take flight. Thaw away your fears, Welcome to the wasted years, And no more the ground may till. ...
Aatuylvan Anthem
Through burning skies and crimson fields, With crossed blades and blazing shields, We'll never fall, we'll never fail, We, the keepers of the sacred veil Who walk amongst the Living Light, Keepers of the darkest might. Shifting earth and...
Misplaced Muse
Lucid dreaming of a world gone by, Wishes made on the tails of stars, Only to reinforce steely bars. Screaming, arms raised to the sky. Blink, and you miss the wonder, One night so torn asunder. Dreams forgotten, stories left untold, It...
Jack
I once loved a love most deep, that turned me from the light. I once loved a love so deep, that I cared not for fright. I once held death within my gaze, and caressed her in my arms, I once had night with me to bed, and graced her with my charms....
Shadow
Human eyes can seldom see the beauty that lies around them. Human minds must never see the truth and horrors that surround them. When all is brought to light, and mens' hearts despair, Know that I'll be watching, smiling, begging you to dare. ...
