Aconites and Marigolds

I arise with the sun, aching with pain.
Muddling though each day, isolation my only friend.
As the sun cusps its arch, the icy winds blow
As my hope withers in the cold.
The amaranth dies neath the frozen soil
And burst up a bouquet of aconites and marigolds!
In this year I set for improvement, I'll succumb to the same vices again!
My memories sting like the hornets at dawn and fill my body with poison!
I'll ignore the pain, pump alcohol into my veins until I'm numb with the poison!
Sometimes I feel the warmth of impossible joy of a reality created in my mind!
Where I breath happiness and my life is filled with joy!
Where all my misery is gone!
But this reality is broken at the break of dawn
And I arise to the same turmoil and pain!

Relics Immemorial

Beckoned by eyes in the night, to gaze upon the shadows & walk with the souls forgotten by time.
Up through the trees of mystery! Through the night of death! Crossing the oceans of failure. March the deceased relics of existence!
The silence and isolation grow more deafening.
I see only one solution through this gale.
As the walls grow closer, the choir of pain crashendos.
I see that I, depraved by solitude, must join the relics immemorial.
All feelings rotting from my heart.
My feet feel helpless to carry this burden anymore.
As I am crushed by a Great Persecutor.
I buckle underneath the growing expectation to revert!
As the clouds break open, reveal dizzying emanations.
I’m reduced to nothing in their majesty.
The Heavenly winds that guide the souls to salvation & steer me towards eternal bliss.
Before me, the Parapet collapses, the Illusion in Ruin.
...And I saw before me the Bringer of the End gazing upon me.
With eyes so cold, a daggered stare, marred with ice and loneliness.
He proclaimed, unveiled my fate:
“You shall live forever! An eternity to gaze upon the suffering.
Immortality to watch loved ones die and never enjoy the love promised!”

Evergreen

I cross this dead wilderness
To find the answer to why my shadow only appears in the dark
The torrid landscapes guide me blind
To the final color I will see in my crumbling shitstorm called life
Across these plains of a life I once led
I walk closer to the kingdom of my death
Anger and hate turn to joy at the sight
Within the horizon, shines the light of evergreen
Burning fire in the night
I take the flame, burn the bridges, to a past I long to forget
Embers of hate smolder
Toiling in the Mountains of Madness and love, that drive me towards these cliffs of life ending heights.
This life I knew
It is no more
My blood is cold
My veins are stone
All of my time
Carelessly wasted
On a meaningless life
A worthless existence
I lie in wonder
Will this cold last forever?
Will the Evergreen thrive,
Now that my life has ended?
Open the gate to the life I once led
I want to return from the kingdom of my death
Joy and love turn to grief at the sight
The Evergreen withers in the absence of life

minimal, slow, gloomy, and eventually all consuming sadness. I admire the restraint and control of dynamics and the ability to shape such a long epic without resorting to predictability. sometimes you just need music like this that understands your mood
