THE SWEEPING ABYSS

The stars shone through his soul

As a reflected sonata glittered in his eyes,

The desire to be wanted -- bordered insanity

As the restraint of an unknown fear

Veiled the last of enshrouded oblivion.

The final words, madness

Smuggled ignorance under the curtain of night

Out the sweeping abyss -- a door of hope


The water ran through her soul

Fixed on the eternity of wondrous beauty

The desire to be wanted -- bordered insanity

And the shackle of society custom

Creep into her mind, overflowing peace.

Although peace was an illusion

Crippled by madness, she fell

Out the sweeping abyss -- a door of despair
