My Logged Ship

Oh most precious of all worlds

Where have you gone

In my hour of eternal darkness

Which I spent in martial locked rooms

Written in foreign languages

And detached from humankind’s footsteps

I tasted the sludge of destruction’s den

At the back bow of my logged ship

While my soft tears

Were wept in the haze of black fog

Oh my youth was stolen by the sludge

Where shall I run, where shall I swim?

Your dedication to the violet’s eye

And the twilight zone of justice

Won’t make you the protector of the unsung youth

Averse to your withered heart

Did I ever say “oh waves take my heart”?

Let me sleep a virgin’s sleep instead

The word clouds of freedom you mock

Will keep you imprisoned to the chains

Of the sea and the sea will flood

You believe in the presence of the absence

But you forgot the moon was watching

And sent its haunted melodies to you

The words that are used won’t cease

The aftermath from happening

And everlasting the hurricane has raged

Accompanied by your carol of frenzy

But my lament has been engraved

To the autumn jewels of dusk
