Melancholy grinds me to my bones
And proffers the lyric of my moans
Sweeps joy and love to a freefall pit
Wrecks lasting peace on a rocky spit
Wonder lost, I'm hypnotized
Dread and fear are realized
Tripping over Hate's vile form
With nothing on to keep me warm
Surrounded by the cares of life
Preoccupied with icy strife
There's naught but grief to fill my days
And wrap me in a brutish haze
There's no escape for such as me
Except for sleep 'neath darkened seas.


10/29/99

Much gratitude to all for the inspiration to break my block. All that's left is to sweep away the debris. This one is a start. My first newling in over a year.

And after-drunkeness of soul
Succeeds the glory of the bowl -
An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away

From Melancholy Grinds to the Darkened Seas.
These words are powerful and deeply touched me.
