"The Spiral"

“The Spiral”

From below I rise

Speaking loud and crashing highFull of depth with sparkling widthVoice is clipped, revisit repriseEmotions stripped from shining skiesAnd the heart follows

Control excitement, suppress my loveWatch the spell fall into burning, brightened silenceI’ll dispel it but not today, not tomorrowBut some other day.Ignore the smiles aboveIgnore them from belowAbsorb their pain, the crying bellowsReturn resistanceWith burning, brightened silence

Control clarity or lose the mindTumbling downward, spiralIntertwined chorus, inner torusEncased in spirit and sent againRepeated cycles, twisted chorusFall through the spiralThrough memory coursesMaster the mind, I promise, I willJust one of many forces

Meeting more than my eyes can seeVisionary delusions are pure beliefResting on control; clawing, unstableCrackling, burning, shining, and violentShadows lurking ever since

Piercing, spectral phlebotomyOnly draws blood from half of mePhantoms yearn to feast on the rest of meScreaming forward, stealing memoryA thief in the night, screeching moon geistCan take meIf it drinks from my nosebleed

Now my heart leadsEmotions return to shining skiesNew notes sing, leaving reprise behindSparkling width searching for depthSpeaking quiet and crashing low

Back to the top I go
