where the wild flowers grow

O' these screams,
the infernal screams!
They petrify my spine, the
pulsation
of the tones,
tend to weaken.

There are no ways to
balance the unbalanced
if the unbalanced wishes to be so


Covering the punctures in the earth,
we've
created
monsters.

The sirens howl,
and in disillusion, they are traitors
to the ear.
The terror held in pitch,
we see not the warning.. in advance,
locking the noise in chambers.

There are no ways to
balance the unbalanced
if the unbalanced wishes to be so


In sensual markings lies an answer,
An emblem of martyrdom.

The body of silence..
The blood of abhorrence..

Quiet, you accursed screams!
My bones
are
breaking.

Oh Meg...



You humble me.

then perhaps the unbalanced is the perfection of it all?

You're only getting better with each line.
