Nocturne

Evening spreads its wings

Across setting sun’s delight

As a stalking spirit brings

Passing glows in the night

Come, the marching band

Hauntingly this way

Visions of death by hand

Hearts lost in lies of grey

Here I call deceitful names

Thumping tremors in my soul

I do believe it tames

A time I shall never know

Tremors of my beating heart

I shall live the nights alone

Recreating sounds of Mozart

The dream, the want, the broken stone

So may come the day

I shall rest my weary head

Lay down and become prey

To the setting sun’s dread

Do I dare still dream

Of such a treat that makes

The spreading of wildflowers seem

Less than a miracle, a fake

Do I dare disturb the course

Disturb the faith of souls

Do I dare for the minute force

Belief seen through keyholes

Amusement chills my heart

Where I stay with dark demons

In my reflection, I do depart

Soft touches from these virgins

And in the season of my death

When the days of dark join me

May I taste her final breath

Across the skies in eternity

Shall I depart once and for all

Leave my ramblings of the past

I advance through the halls

Valley of shadows now trespassed

I look upon the world I dwell

I have lingered so it seems

I hear the voices from my hell

Arousing me from this dream
