Canticle
I reach for your hand, beyond the either, so that we may gather.
Together to pollinate the earth, with our bones
This melting frost gives way to life and death
Hear the sound of the rain....this season has been far too long
...and though I loath this time of year...what a beautiful Winter it was....
Finally, the rain has come, to melt my pain
Trickling, down my spine
Slowly numbing, comforting
A lullaby
Sung by angels in the wind,
a lullaby.
let the skies rain down upon me, to cleanse me
hear the sounds of the rain... its lullaby, sing your canticle a lullaby
Take my hand, take my heart, take my life

Amber Skies: The Shadow Of My Becoming
Nothing lasts forever, Dreaming my death once again
Autumn winds are changing... and so are the leaves that fall
Slowly dulled by time, broken and battered they lay
...The cold stretch of winter looming, dawning upon us,
for I cannot face these long months alone.
Damn this cold division, damn the very dirt that seeds me
I have tainted all that what was once pure
this fatal stain can never be erased
beneath the billows I bare this curse,
this inward stare, a gaze i cant forgive.
alone I fall headlong into despair
Ephemeral essence
the hourglass whispers...now rest
Take everything, from me
and watch as I fade away
like a waning moon
in the throes of darkness
these scars of old weeping through worlds of pain
So, whilst I await my term all alone
beneath the shallow nimbus of the Earth,
I shall rot For it was my want...my want
here, at worlds end, who will mourn the leaves that fell, [this bleakness my being]
the autumn breeze, the ocean's smell?
Ephemeral essence, the hourglass ....whispers in silence your time has passed
In the twilight of my life... Im more detached
as I Embrace the shadow of my becoming, I dream of you....
How I long for your warmth, your life, the color of green in bloom,
and The smell of the morning dew. Pastel day awaken my life...
and to end the oppression of winter this season of sorrow and gloom
Nothing lasts forever, Dreaming my death once again
Autumn winds are changing... and so are the leaves that fall
Slowly dulled by time, broken and battered they lay
...The cold stretch of winter looming, dawning upon us.
Hold on to me, don't let me fall down as I crawl,
hold on to me, don't bring me down
It begins...in a dream, and my loved ones are all left behind...once again
I rise...above...From this soil dark and cold
With Fear, I kneel Anxiously heeding the frost from my heels
Frail, succumbed, Below me, I see the world Ive left behind again....once again
Autumnal, Eternal

An Unfamiliar Embrace

An Unfamiliar Embrace
Stranded.... amongst this crashing reef.
Distance separates. An unfamiliar embrace,
haunting...longing only for you
Ive dreamt a thousand dreams, but I sleep a dreamless sleep
longing for you, bleeding for you
I dreamt of you again, you've touched my face
These tears I cry, belong to you.
These tears I shed now belong only to you,
and ohh how I suffer on without your touch.
I am but a ghost in shared space,
a crack upon your window pane.
I cannot fall into this sadness... So I'll set you free
My body aches .... with longing
An unquenchable hurt Ive felt like no other.
Sing with me love, under the night skies.
Let your soul walk with me....
Gazing at start-light I still see you there.
Sleepless nights lost in dreams.
Is this how you've left me?
why why? tell me.....
laughing, cold misery
Ohh, tell me...
I believe!
My body bleeds, I'm yearning
An unquenchable pain We've had like no other
Longing for you.....
Bleeding for you.....
...For my beautiful wife Aly Robinson

Bury Me In Silence

Bury me In Silence
Bury me in silence
for you have no right to mourn
Scatter roses upon me
pretend to be forlorn
Rain the earth upon me
nail tight the coffin door
Rend my bones to ashes
forget whom you once adored.
You shall not mourn for me.
For me, My castle, immortal love
Release me, from these burdens of woe and shame
Bury me in silence
for you've always failed to see
the depths of your betrayal
and your iniquity.
Speak, bring rain to cleanse my soul
Sleep, bring pain to cleanse.....
I'll stay in your heart forever
the object of your scorn
let me rot unmoving
beneath this cursed ground
Mourn not for me, for this love
was blessed nevermore, nevermore
....And though worms destroy this body
yet from this grave shall I seek your blood
This vengeance is my right to take
invoking the wrath of a righteous flood
Though my bones may turn to ashes
This spirit lives on unrequited
Wash away my tears with the falling rain, ohh console me
This silence is Deafening, you've abandoned me
Wash away my tears with the falling rain, inter our love
Burned to ashes, ceremonies, my requiem
...And though worms destroy this body
yet from this grave shall I seek your blood
This vengeance is my right to take
invoking the wrath of a righteous flood
Wash away my tears with the falling rain, ohh console me
This silence is Deafening, you've abandoned me
Wash away my tears with the falling rain, inter our love
Burned to ashes, ceremonies, my requiem
Sleep, Bring pain to Cleanse me,
dies ire, dies illa
solvet saecum in favilla
teste Deus cum sybille
quantutus tremor est futurus
quando iudex est venturus

A Beautiful Winter

A Beautiful Winter
Her tiny fingers wave goodbye, and her tears crack the window pane.
She needs me so, but I need her more
...and she will never know.
My heart breaks every time we waves goodbye
through the glass, your mountain of ice.
Her tears crack the window pane.
As we watch the storm inside grow
...our dreams our hearts covered in snow.
My heart melts each time I see your face, covered in tears,
chiseled on my heart your name I can't forget.
You take away all my fears, breaking my heart, an icy storm.
I don't know how to live without you near
If I'd protect you from the storm, I'd hold you close
if only in my heart
The first thing you saw in this world was me
and finally I opened my eyes
The wavering shudder of a new heart pulled against mine
with joy my tears ran down
We shared our first breath
I can't breathe without you now
Don't leave me
Don't leave me all alone
For my beautiful daughter Winter Izabella Robinson

Sorrow And Certainty

Sorrow and Certainty
Hold on to the night, and mourn with me
Too long have you suffered this toll.
your guise of hope and love bereaved
Forsaken and forlorn, let us weep and let us fall
move on, but forever... recall
That our God laughs as we make our plans
And who will save our souls?
Misery Mae....Misery mae
behold, I was shapen in wickedness, and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
cast me not away from thy presence...purge me....
thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
turn thy face from my sins, and put me out of all my misdeeds.
for i acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me
Give to us this day of mourning
with sorrow and with certainty
We pass on as stars and morning light
this fragile presence....mended by fresh tears
Save me, Save me
This creaking of old flesh,
Rattling sales, weathered and torn
HERE Have mercy on me, misery laid upon my shoulder
The leaves...Change...All AT Once
Pale. tones, pound into dust
against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight,
that though mightiest be justified. in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged
Clement, merciful one...judge not our sins, but what of our dreams what shall become?
Clement, merciful one, judge not our sins...our deeds
Have mercy on me oh God, after thy great goodness...come in from the rain...Leave your hope behind....Come in from the rain...I offer you the stars. Rest your weary head...
"According to the multitude of thy mercies....do away with mine offenses....wash me thoroughly of my wickedness and cleanse me from my sins"
"In eternity, where there is no time....nothing can grow, nothing can become, nothing changes....so death created time to grow the things that it would kill and you are reborn but into the same life, that you have always been born into"
Clement, merciful one, judge not our sins, but what of our dreams, what shall become?
Clement merciful one, just not our sins...our deeds
Idols of stone, granite sculptures pray, great protector, shroud me from the light of day, your time will come....heroes who fall....with brevity
Awakened by tears,
How I wept within a dream,
how ..I wish I ...could show you.
It was so vivd, so real.

Shroud Of Bereavement Sandown, New Hampshire
Shroud of Bereavement's music is akin to attending a funeral for everyone you have ever loved. The Boston-based group achieves this moribund feeling by incorporating all the right musical elements: cellos, piano, violin, and dual female vocal harmonies layered on top of harsh death vocals, played at the pace of mile-long funeral procession.. ... more
