Darkening Side

Change in passion
With expectations arise
While certain emotions lofting
To one’s own demise.

Fellowship of angels
Bringing down the clouds;
For certain gentle majesties
Are clearing out the routes.

Of Heaven and Hell awaiteth
Ensuing growing depth inside;
Blazing fires brighten
Strengthening the will to hide.

Time spent chasing nightmares
Leaves those running jilted;
While those chasing fantasies
Are left empty and wilted.

Bewildered from broken amnesty
From fantasy amore;
The warrior of dreams brings finality
Knocking loudly on the door.

Engulfed in worry amiss
From patrons of the night;
The sands of sleep bring with it
Bulging bags for the fight.

The next morning abound
With the sun to the East;
Shunning faint memories of hate
To keep from your priest.
