Nightingale
From a third eye a tear drops and dies
like the tears from a blue sky that sheds light
upon a new day, blanketing the streets in sorrow
My luck has run out of time to borrow
Run these narrow treads along my back
The village I built up, savages will sack
A murder of crows will wait patiently
Sitting high above the scenery
Look down at me with gazes piercing through the trees
Tear at these seams and unravel this dream
Gouge my eyes with this very pen
May the ink and blood come together in the end
to paint a portrait of a rose so divine
Divine retribution to amend my crimes
My sins of laughter and hunger, and lethargy
are capital offenses that demand punishing
So throw me to the gallows because you will not crush me
I am strong and capable of withstanding
Any blow of any strength
to my impenetrable ego of improbable defense
Imprisoned my soul may be, but I am still capable of flying
You may clip these wings but the nightingale will catch the wind
And ascend beyond the purgatory that you deemed fit
Even if they never have a chance to read this
My diction will never be muffled and my thoughts can never be stifled
for their petty brainwashing propaganda is nothing that I cannot handle
They can drown me out and ignore what gets through
And these words will not matter for they are the truth
Forever fond memories of warm summer
Turn to hellish nightmares in which I suffer
As long as the past remains, I will emerge from hell unscathed
I believe time is a continuum, we just think back to then
It is forever just as are the repercussions of our actions
They may never erase the times I felt alive
They may never erase the times I felt alive
They may never erase the times I felt alive
They may never erase the times I felt alive
