Ruins
...for April



In the valleys of my restless mind

dwell memories that are never more--

    memories more unto dreams, of forgotten

    eldritch things that haunt dreary plains

        beneath dying moon...

    and yet, these are not dreams--

    but forsaken, consummative violations 

        of lonely graves...


What seek I there?

    Only answers to that

    which compels me to search desolate mountains

    and crawl amongst moldering graves better left

        untouched and unseen...

            Here, are lonely winds crying among

            shattered columns, silent obelisks receiving

            only the cold supplications of dying dreams...

        Here, are memories wailing--seeking form,

        substance, reality--but finding only shadow

            beneath the leaden moon...

    Here, are memories that once were but

    never to be; memories of forgotten eldritch 

        things that haunt dreary plains beneath

            dying moon--

    

    in the valleys of my restless mind;

        the haunted, hollow valleys of my restless mind...
