Damnation Trail
Damnation Trail
Through forests dark and shadowed vale
He follows the damnation trail
Along the river’s twisted course
Through bracken thick and clutching gorse
The ancient path cut through the land
He walks with devil’s hand in hand
And where his steps flatten the crops
No more will grow the wheat and hops
For he has footsteps cast in death
He steals the fa...

A LONELY LAMENT
The flickering flame
in the dream of your eyes,

But little heat remains
to warm the weary hearts
of those so slowly left
bereft and torn apart
A chill wind blows a tear
across the cooling fires,
a rain of lasting love falling
softly through life's briars
A trickle of silent sorrow
leaving trails on shall...

A LONELY LAMENT
A LONELY LAMENT
The spark of a flame
In the dream of your eyes
Flickering life
In a darkening sky
The depths of a life
Of torment and pain
A swirling pull
From a deepening drain
But heat yet remains
To warm the heart

Torn apart
A cold wind blows a tear
Across the cooling fires
The rain of love
Falling through life's briars
A river of sorrow

The moon, full and bright
Casts his dark shadow onto an icy wall.
A familiar silhouette, unmistakable,
Pressed against the pane.
The cold melts his breath into feathery diamonds
Running in thin veins down the thick glass.
His face, hidden and veiled in black
Glances my way and nods;
I nod back
Acceptingly. Suddenly,
The glass no longer divid...
