As the last leaf falls

Visions of atrocious soil
a plagued miasmal midden
my heart so scared between it all

and no, those tired seekers
didn´t see the coming end
just those who knew swore by their hearts
that no god nor satan would tear them apart.

greed blights divinity
and so it has always been
ever since I can remember
and it always will
where reason and time stands still
where the withered crowns of ancient kings
lose inevitably their artless grace
there I will stay with them, damned and displaced

these bones grow old and rotten
just like the branches of my kin
whose former reign is long forgotten
spattered with tears of the desperate

Exodus of astrayed masses
devastation left behind
so many seasons came and went
upon this places of the blind
curses over the doctrine
of feigned prudence, bread and wine
the divine countenance of earth
crumbles into dust beneath the fears of man

the preachers of mankind are treacherous
serpents in stoles
hollow words craved from above
subservience is not enough
denial of our origin
nursery tales of hell and sin
forgive what must be forgiven
but please redeem me from this certainty

take forth this hull that scourges me
flesh and bone all alone and a spirit so exhausted
eyes that must witness the odious abuse
limbs that won´t move and lips without excauses
oh how could it come that far they nill see what they are
murderous issues without any sense of compassion

the bloom of life´s bosom in her sanctity
is crying so bitter
may you close thy eyes now
and death comes finally

And I... I remain with thee
with diamond cover over what is left
and still to see
the frozen monument of beauty moribund

Nigh is the last cold breath
unbroken charm wings the last leaf down on its final dance
sleep well.. sleep well... my love
