Sorrow Unfolds


The body and the earth shakes

All the while the waves quake

With untangible thoughts of a body

So the sand breaks

 

Into grains in the mind

Stringed noodles of a hallowed concubine

Balls fall, the bells beep beside a pipeline

Money matters in the hearts of gold

In the hearts of bronze a champion's soul

 

Plagues of heartache crimple the minds of joy

Beaus of Death come to restore

Blurred lines of love in a world of decay

Enjoy the decoy of Hope another day

Take flight into the night

Set sights on a crystal day
