When I open my eyes all I see is an untainted red; first a specter forms spreading into a canvass of dappled blood, all trapped around my cornea. But when my sight releases itself from its temporary bind a light blue hue explodes into my pupils fading away the once known pain. I am he. A solider who forgot the calls of death in the early rise of war-battle. Shout at me and I will keep marching forward for my name refuses to settle in my wall of thoughts. What I seek now is not redemption nor forgiveness. I only ask for the scythes of death to bring me the silence of love; an end to where I may begin knowing my woman awaits at the pearly gates of my awakening.
So I Say
Casualty, casualty
Rid me of pretense
For when my memories flood in
I am left in the green lush bush
Thick with regrets;
Regrets born from the dragon’s fire
And as the night dissipates
Burning with the fire called love
In my hand, liquor my king, reigns
My crown to hold
My own Queen’s touch gone
Her scent nowhere to be smelled
Casualty, casualty
The wars of my forgotten fathers
have brought me the cold of tomorrow
Casualty, oh casualty
My mother’s love has
Fled from my abode
Casualty, dearest you
Where do you hide my lover’s silk?
Her ivory skin lingers in my tongue
Casualty, forgotten one
Bring me home
To where my bones
May find soil
To stand on ground
For I fear my past sins
May eat away my flesh
Casualty, oh sweetest pain
Where’s my future?
For the present has me locked away
back in my war zone past
As the world spins on a pole of fire, souls light up dancing along with golden sun
SIMPLE WORLD
