Tales from a Forest Hut
Ряд стихотворений, схожих по настроению, теме и использованию схожих символов, я решил объединить в один цикл, носящий пока что название "Рассказы из лесной хижины". Не знаю, сколько ещё стихотворений появится в этом цикле, но уверен, что я его буду продолжать развивать. В любом случае, у меня насчёт него довольно большие планы.
TALES FROM A FOREST HUT
So here you'll hear those tales
That wander in the whirling wind,
Looking for a tired pilgrim on the road,
Waiting to be told.
Where the smoke obscures sights
And the lost souls of dead men tread in the forest
While the owls fly from tree to tree,
You shall sit near the fireplace and listen to them.

INTO THE NIGHT

THE NIGHT OF DAYDREAMS

CREEK OF THE FOOL MOON
The water runs
As slow as a nightmare passes by
In a creek,
Where the fool's corpse will lie
Underneath
The silently burning soil,
Lighten up
By the moon's silvering foil
And a drop
Falls from the black grass nearby,
Watering
This deathly gloom, pacifying
A mystery
Inducted by the night creatures,
Noising around
Where the trees are drawing pictures
Full of macabre
Dispassion, apathy, disillusion
And fear,
But still holding your attention with seclusion
In a place
You've seen for a hundred times
In your dreams.
Seduce them not, they're full of crimes
Committed
And undone. Confusing your mind,
They attack,
Leaving for you no space for fight.
You surrender,
Devoured by ghosts of pure dispassion.
Your soul is lost,
Lured to the woods by human passions.

ENDLESS DEATH
A lonesome night in lonesome place
Silent flame's burning my trace
In retrospect absurd regression
Oddly lightening obsession
Sinister my heart to be
Strength and pride to stay in here
To wait for cryptic invitations
In twisted sick hallucinations
Show me a path I can tread on
Show me the way to where belong
Release me from my pain and tears
And let me step forward my fears
Near this door I take a breath
I'm not afraid to face the death
But I'm afraid to see the day
Oh how I wish in night to stay
I crave this moon will never fade
I long for never see my shade
And mourn when darkness gives away
But nothing can forever stay
Nothing of we all might know
Yet midnight dreams in gloomy flow
They show the Secret of the Never:
Yes, nothing here will last forever,
But Death

MORNING
Softly whispering in my dream
Final puzzle in the scheme
A gleam of light now hurts my eyes
Indicating morning's rise
No more gloom and no more night
Only tears to blind my sight
Standing still I wait for rain
Cannot move, I'm struck by pain
Empty day reigns 'neath the sun
Offering you false joy and fun
But life's a wheel and wheel is turning
The day will pass then night's returning
Everything will find its places
Again
