Lestat ‘ s recitative / Confession
Do you even knowThat life flowsLike blood does –Freely, subtly, invisiblyPassing throughRealms and times? Do you even knowThat death comesAs storm does –Swiftly, unexpectedly, gracefully,Cutting throughHistory’s silks and stones? Do you even knowThat nothing holdsAs fast as death does-Clasping to the heart,Grasping by the throat,Kissing till the last breath?

The Fall/ Ouvertures
…and autumn would creep in, like a maniac, eye all aglow, leaving rainy traces on the sidewalk, its patched up coat all shades of falling leaves.

Dream of the Endless
I am Dream of the Endless,I am beginning and end,Master of visions and nightmares,Lord of whispering realms. I am Dream of the Endless,I am the shadow and mist,Friend to the wise and the reckless,Undying and one to be missed. I am Dream of the Endless,The mighty, the healing, the curse,The one who consoles the restless,OrContinue reading “Dream of the Endless”
