Carriage to nothingness

by Ria   Jan 22, 2005



Slaughter me, take this pain away
Burn me down, and you shall be repaid
Cover me so as not to see
Drag me out, Sword of Ecstasy
Believe in me, this wasn’t my intention
Reborn I’ll be, I’ll pass this burning season
But now I want to leave…

A distant light from candles approaches
And sound of wings so delicate
Lullaby of murderers and of sorcerers
And creaking carriages in the deep
Figures trembling like my tears
Fairies flying smoothly here
I fall

I hear the singing of the fairies
And wonder from where they draw this joy
Like the scent of fresh blue berries
Their spirit dust’s smell is reaching me
They spread the dust to imprison the souls
On the carriage of the lost

Just leave the door ajar
And I may slink in
The memory has led so far
The essence of the sin
It may corrupts my body again
It may drain all my sanity and set me free

They pass me by
They smile so kindly
It seems I’ve led their dream

The carriage is toddling off
Though the sound is haunting me
Though the smiles are burning me
A silhouette is sitting on the carriage
His feet moving with its creaking
He’s gazing to the sky
The madness in this angel’s eyes
Could kill me

In surprise he notices me
And stares at me with fear
But then he smiles and whispers softly
“Wonderful night” and the carriage disappears

Cadaverous moon you’ll take me body
And burning stars, yours is my soul
For immortality I hunted
And this is what I got

No hate in me
No lust for flesh
So what am I?
I know, I’m scared
Scared of my own self

Carriage to nothingness
Embarking on a journey of the souls
The gods are laughing at us
Cause we’re just games
To move their hands

I do not care anymore
My faith is nothing but I word
I do believe in me and the things I could restore
…They are lost forevermore…

Carriage to nothingness
Oh I wish I could get on

    "Just leave the door ajar
    And I may slink in "
    As i stated earlier, startling imagery for an amateur writer. Truley a Greek Poet!
