Chapter 31 - A Dying Time

Words fall slow

Dead against floorboards

Written in stolen time

My soul whispers soft

Not worth the cost

Fade into death

I move forward

Never the moment

To end or begin

Moon glow on my tongue

Unable to fall

I'm haunted in sunlight

My dreams bleed away

Nothing will be left

No grace in this place

I'll end the loop

I'll kill it soon

A void exists

A great escape

Adventure's over

No torturous fate

A dream is dropped

The sleepers wake

The stars still sing

But we're too late

The fire or the flood

Bursting at the seams

Branches in the skies

Poking through the beams

Skyburst photographed

In the last lasting branch

Weeds crawling through cracks

Nothing real at last

Inspiration's run well dry

Time to light my fire sign

Story stalling time to crack

Rocks burst in fiery attack

Once had hope that cult has died

It's time for this sky to cry

Containment breach in raining pink

Evil here has won again

Refuse to write in shades of pain

Consistency in Christmas rain

Clouds of tears as futures fade

Spilled my ink in fiery rage

Gave the pen a smoking shot

Right at all that we have got

Time now ticks away in anguish

Hells fissured no longer languish

Void beasts crawl along their lanes

Separating spark to shade

Our box fizzles and starts to rock

It's crumbling fast

Inside its lock

Red and green they overtake

Blues they start to sway away

Sirens sing it's starting over

Things are coming taking over

Plagues awaken in their box

Universe a ticking clock

Bacteria they multiply

Like a virus in their stride

Stars themselves they start to shake

Something small it shakes and quakes

Lawless riders in the wind

Come from sea to blinking beacon

Marked for dissolution is this weakened

Box of dreams that has been darkened

Blue light flees and fades away

Red and green see light of day

Rage-filled wills

Explosive blight

Stamp it out

Or it will bite

Stacks themselves they start to crumble

Power sliding into void

Hungry beasts encroach and eye

Realities that cannot hide

Red and bright a burning light

Shines to them from deep inside

Beckons with a formula

To win a war between high minds

Checks stamp zero

All directions

Fires starting

Blow the crust

Stalks erupting

Shades of dust

Voids start walking
