Degression-Kaleida

listen to his muffled groans

in his pain he writhes & moans

breathing is a hell-driven task

living his life is too much to ask



with a grimace of teeth so sharp

it could cut light into shards

he hides a feeling deep within

inside he shelters a horrible being

always there, the dependable friend

he's been there from the End



can you feel the frictioned soul

the rage is great but his body cold

inside lay the lashed & laced heart

a frenzied daemon's twisted art



With its flames surrounding

crushing bones & pounding

the daemon's cursed claws

render without just-cause



as he rests in the shadows

wishing to breach the cosmos

haunting words become thoughts:

Love, Hate, Hope and Loss



for all this hate, hurt & regret

he tries vainly to engrain

that anger, pain & self-pity

will gain no good ground
