Seeing Without Light
         The Demons Cry for Angels
             We Begin to Learn

Without your
hate
I hold you now
Without your
fear
you cannot run
How will you see our tortured mind?
Without your
lust
you can't touch me
Together
falling, fleeing
forever
bleeding
the might we had-
it was nothing
compared
to night
the shadows dear
blanked, blackened, love so white
where's your heart?
where's our light?
spiral
Without your
rage
you have nothing
Without your
greed
you have nothing
your life
-mine-
your soul
-mine-
your heart
-lost-
never touching me
again
Do you miss it?
Take mine
see
see your anger
across
the
sea
Without your
love
I can breathe
heaven
and hell
contained
within my breast
you can’t see
can’t
see
why do you fight?
Without your
misery
You won’t move
We found the way
without
you
you still don’t care
hear
the call keeps screaming
Without your
voice
I can’t speak
You saw the demons fall
but you won’t say
their voices
you heard
the angels screaming
brethren lost
answers broken
Why can’t you tell me
without
pain
I found the path
across the broken waters
but if you don’t
follow
somewhere
we can’t be the road
anymore will
you
not
speak
I can’t cry with you
Tomorrow won’t come for us
don’t flee
watch the dreams
empty
the sky at last
At last we’ll see
We’ll see our names
born again
So I must
follow
Follow the earth
cold desires
sleeping
with the ground
As we breathe
sink in to
the last hope
I saw
you
alone with me
broken together
falling  together
dying together
the pattern emerges
perfect
and tattered
Can’t you watch
-for once-
Without your
knowledge
we are lost
      alonely
divinely
sacred calling
earth
     water
          air
             fire
choose
choose now
the ground
     the soil
embrace the roots
drink
the liquid
life
without it death
the breath
More life
torn from within
it burns
the (pain)
-power-
tortured weaponry
conjured hate
Without your
fire
emotionless
Without your
water
burning
Without your
air
drowning
Without your
earth
dying
You still can’t see
(you never will)
and so I
wait
I wait for truth
I wait for
(unanswered prayers)
I want
to breathe
you won’t choose
you won’t
save
me anymore
the choice is made
we must watch
watch the world
   watch the world
-fade-
to nothing
hold me with
the
   last
     gasp of air
hold me as
the
   earth
      crumbles away
Hold me while
we
    burn
       to shreds of flesh
drown me
in our pain
drown me
without air
drown me
in the sky
I choose
I choose the air
Without you, I will not breathe
so i drown
Without you, I can not move
so i burn
Without you, I can not die
so i crack
Don’t wake me up
until the end
until we care
Have you seen the demon’s eyes
when you could not speak?
Did you see their tears
crying for the broken earth
(and water)
(and fire)
If you won’t let me look
If you won’t share the answers
we’re gone
and so I fly
without you I build the sky
I lift
I carry them- all
above the end we must admire
the taut sinews
the sculpted power
his blinded eyes watch the stars
as
they
fade
and we part
your lips never
told
me what he said
Without your
thoughts
I will be gone
Without your
kiss
I have nothing
      and still you deny
the dark
  creeps
     crawls
      walks
-closer to me-
I fly
I feed it the sky
and you watch
with
      sightless
    eyes
fall the stars upon our grave
and catch
    a broken heart
all of us
now
(many)
the screams
(many)
the tears-
but water
the water has fallen
who are we
to cry
who are we
to burn
to drown
to die
all we can do
is
(breathe)
And so I must leave
depart
avenge
despair
I come back to you
broken and done
pretending we loved
pretending again
Remember the demon
he could fly
he held us up
and his (ancient) eyes
red and blue
they watched me
without you
give me a tear
tell me away
don’t keep
     -pretending-
I’m not here
I spun the last
I wrote the call
and masked again, we danced
emptily throwing the time
Without your
grace
I don’t have flight
Without your
touch
I can’t keep caring
bring me back
bring me back to you
You let the world
(tumble)
into the sky
you let me
              (breathe)
when I had lost
Please
    -you-
silence without
    -you-
your sins undid me
   and I fell
you couldn’t catch me
did you want
the truth?
you never asked
did you need
an answer?
I couldn’t tell
please
     for
        once
don’t let me die
(again)
Do you want to love me?
do you know how?
bring me back
bring me all back
in the beginning, I knew it was right
but now
You won’t look at my eyes
I will wait
for your soul
but so we fall
     endlessly
    soundlessly
     pointlessly
will you be steady?
The Beauty
The Death
demonic powers won’t see
if
   you’ll
        let
      me
  be
miserably
Starting the end
without you
   every one
everyone saw
our fall
suspended in air
heart and soul
   -come back to me-
love won’t keep us true
I remember
tell me the color
of its eyes
tell me the taste
of its pain
isolated
from our foe
Conquered anger,
      pulled me down
Fallowed famine
      fought the ground
Seeking life we went
(to sea)
and left
we left our love
lost to light
I fought the black
We drowned the soul
Without your
scream
we can’t be heard
bloodied
battered
we return with our heart
we return with the wind
we return with the water
the snow
the ice
and the earth is born
but fire
fire won’t burn
water will freeze
ice will melt
but fire just froze
the heat-
gone
the soul-
empty
lovely space
expanding
I’ve never seen you
before
and so we come again-
