Solitude, Forever, I...

By Spiritus_Frumenti

Solitude,
Bereft of endless affinity, undefined spirit,
Carrying burdens with no origin
Owing itself to an idea,
A marvelous fancy eager to devour the world

Forever,
Memories wither immensely, souls sacrificed,
Wanting to believe in hope
With tears much denser than the life we hold
Much heavier than the hands of God we were told

I,
Embracer of the cold, mind nullified,
Seeking reason in a place without truth
Mourning crimson on a ground so crude,
Eroded by the painful sighs that have passed here...

    the second and last verse are breathtaking, this perhaps your finest work in a while, reminded me of early norwegian black metal in a way

    Burdens with no origin...The endless loss...The wistful sigh at something that never was...but just might have been...like bathing in sorrow and displacement...wonderful...
