Evanescent, Everfading

The Moon and Sun are gone from us, and all the stars withdraw Leaving us mere reflections of astral light As the twilight groves behind grow out of sight I, in blind fury, in malevolent wrath Flee through the archways of self-deceit Into the starlit lands beyond the gate Where the sculptures of ice and snow await me Northwards my paths took me, unto realms where all hope forsook me Tumbling befallen, I was at loss on these paths everdark! Shivering, in tears I beheld the sight of shocking brilliance starbright with shimmering beams of fragmented light In the everwhite whirlpool of the Celestial Keeper Wavering in the high domes above, She is the astral flow upon the firmanent in evermotion She is the heavenly eidolon of beauty - and despair - high above these merely mortal realms Northstar - in solitude, in unspeakable forms manifested unto me! Polestar, my perpetual Goddess who calls out to us Yet how could I ever begin to grasp the might that overcomes all borders and limits of existence? How could I ever be alike the celestial ones that are free of all sorrows of substance? The passing of my heart is at hand into the vaults of the nightly sky to dance with the four winds and the gods and goddesses of the stars Lovesick and compelled to leave behind these lands I bid farewell Let thee well die For I join immortal ornaments of the heavens above as a new day dawns on the mortal lands beyond the sight of the Celestial Keeper.

The terminal fate of All-Realm draws nigh Past and present Aeons come together As swirling shapes of mordant beauty Fathomless are the extends of thine! At the Hesperus of the Universe When the unfolding of time is at hand The heavens fall upon the hordes of light And Fire sweeps across the land Chaos, ruling supreme; infiltrator of starlight Disorder - in an ardent dance of mortiferous lust One frozen darkness overflowed from the sky In ardour depraved, in fervour defiled Fallen stars strike the earth in hails - in sparks of uncreation and undoing The threefold spheres corrode Like the newborn ornaments in the snow Reflections in astral sculptures Galaxies implode... the heavens fall! Sorrowbirds in thunder blazing Spectral visions at the end embracing The Skyflames were upon us ...And the heavens fell

A dismal thought, somber reflection Returns to haunt me day and night I must leave, set on a journey on a quest under the dim moonlight I travel through light through fire and ice through the molten rock onto the yonder side Moon lights the garden by the shoreless sea 'Twix the dark mountains heavenhigh Where the melancholy trees grieve Where the blue backwoods wail In my eyes the autumn gloom still dwells Born out of the pale sorrowed sky Poured out of the well of mourn A stagnant tarnish cannot refresh me Nor can the murky pond bring me joy As I glare into the deepest of waters Into the swirling depths of eternal yearn O weeping nymph of the well fair maiden of the fountain Guide me wherein the somber dwell Whereto thy golden tears fell Into the lofty lake long forgotten the deep sea of silent mourn There a heavy heart is relieved All the burdens washed away By the songs of the silent water Melodies of the weary May Awakened when all is lost into night The blazing sun takes me into her lap And laughs at me, mocks me with her light Burning I fall into glaciers below And there I drown in peace eternal Evertrapped in a melancholy rest In the embrace of the cold depth, I lie released of mourn and sorrow

In despair I behold! Now I condemn my fate From the mist of a melancholy space I stretch forth with my carnal claws Never to return, never to repent, never to bewail again! Guarded by the luster of the fears Shuddering with cold, woven with tears I draw near to mark the stars with her name I extend the wings of my desire untamed How do I lust to see her hazel eyes again As deep as the oceans of infinity How do I crave for her touch in consuming pain As I bleed the drops of my avidity For her I would walk unto the halls of Mars And for her I would rot in the caverns of Thanatos Beneath my Mother Earth, with my Brother the Astral sorrow I would die forever alone, decayed and old Veiled in robes of the Everfall Shrouded in foam of the shallow waves In silence she departs into wanton realms And leaves my heart self-betrayed To no avail do my cries echo Betrayed by the lust of centuries To no avail do my lays allude Shivering I glide into... She, like a white dove escapes from my grasp Yet with the swift wings of my desire she falls prey With bloody kisses of fervent disease she dies with me I enthrone her in mine crystal realm of cold Guarded by the phantoms of fear Shuddering in cold, woven with tears I draw near to capture her frail frame I extend the wings of my desire untamed Blood doth flow as our carnal desires unite In the non-illumination of benighted existence Alike the profane want within our depraved hearts Pulsating vile fire, crimson in thirst

In these last days of summer winds make haste as I stand on the shores I greet the waves that bring me misery with woeful tears of this most august agony And the crystal sky in silence weeps ere I fall in flight into the chambers deep, for the season is come; snowfall upon distant shores Winds make haste as I mourn the loss In a million shades and in a million flames, the forest celebrates the feast of final fates, as the golden fields rejoice in these last days of Fall, and the birds of the forest sing upon the oak tree tall Soothsayer of my heart, Oracle of my mind speak my visions, speak of the days to come! Somewither I must fly into the skies of crimson winter fall Unto the infernal seas of Terminus itself Onwards - my wanderlust has me!

In high chambers untouched by time Dreams this black heart of mine A lone mind in the shadows of the past Streaming though in melancholy rest Beneath the titan wave Dead in a sleeping awe Misleading paragraphs of rushing notion Burning away my lost emotion Enfolded in a streaming cosmos I am blind to motions, yet I see The emptiness of colour, a draining loss An enigma undiluted yet transforming Stains of pride in tear-wet form The everflaming silence unborn Protruding, heralding a radiant shell Starfire burns my within Folding into night this age grows bleak Engulfed in plight our tears fall Depraved yet I let oblivion speak Now descending with blazing blood... I return, adrift in disorder Vehemence bestowed upon me A desire stark, in luminous grace Gift of strength beyond the extreme Finite of infinity cannot guide me Nor can the legend nourish my mind Harmony in third, opaque yet brilliance shines The trembling dissonance devouring me!

Beneath the oppressive, yet magnificent crown of clouds Trees sway in the winds of uttermost dark within The dead ones bleed in rapture clad in shrouds The seas of Euphoria correspond with the affliction, therein I, a dweller of the dark and the hall of sorrow, in silence disembark to the paths unhallow Autumnwind my betrothed guide me on my journey afar Child of winter dismay wilt thou be my guiding star? Once on a misty day in mid-autumn I walked upon the fallen leaves of gold Once on a cold day of forgotten Fall I wandered amidst the towering trees With each fall of the leafe my heart dies more As the autumn twilight is come to caress the night With each fall of the leafe I am weaker than before As the ebony plight comes to embrace the light Moonlight impales me in my slumber I dive into the depths of stars Earth and fire bestow thy kindness! O air and water hasten to my aid! Impenitent, a guiding vortex appears Leads me unto high, unto... My El Dorado, overgliding from fears! Grandeur in Oneself... The One heart [...] Overself in the everflowing Sorrowstream! But nothing more do I love than the Fall As darkness comes to usher me to sleep Let me die, with no regrets, no reminiscence to recall Let me dive into her arms, forever into the deep Lulled into sleep I die again and again As the wind swept across the forest of dreams And the [...] wept with the golden leaves, forever more in the everflowing Sorrowstream

Hearken as the winds of the Sky Realm blow As the silken tears of the sky still bleed The feathers of the frozen Stormbird fall Into my heart like winterchill and snow Let the freezing Fire return once more! Let the soothing Serpent of blazing cold ever-on radiate the Colours Of this our shimmering season and manifest the omnifarious twilight Wherein the dead silence prevails... These frail beams of icy moonlight Failing to warm the brilliant night And swiftly... do the shadows arise The grim brooding darkness of winterdusk Journeys... yielding into the failing stars of grandeur that are one with the puissance of fierce tranquillity and the raging sorrowlust... Journeys... misty faceless figures speak of soothe within the spheres Of these waning worlds that hold the ember of last hope... Yet the space-time draws nigh For the Aeonfrost to set in And as all the words were spoken One graceful Nocturne arose Through the heavens above And beyond the stars of the lustful firmament That is the Sky Realm And all that lies within its unyielding borders... We come to the outermost reaches of these worlds At the farthest verges of the manifold Universe Where the crystal surges of Cold and Silence withstand Where the eternal Winternight whispers her lullabies... For the true Terminus is Father-Winter The primal dwelling of Aeonfrost That shall conquer all that burns Therein all that still lingers will be lost Within the Silence of the everfrozen Winternight... Within the starlit domes of this everflaming sight! ...the skies are fading with our bleakness of heart into the starblack ages yet to come... and the empty spaces beyond the reach of starlight conquer all life with their songs of oblivion Let the freezing Fire return yet again! Let the slithering Serpent of lustrous dark ever-on radiate the Blackness Of these cold winter winds of the terminal nightfall of the doomed Universe And the eventide leaves fall within!

[Reflections Of The Wanderer/The Passing Of The Newborn God] I am come into these celestial lands; the dreaded journey is at an end Time has passed, ages gone and lost, and the wandered returns to his home within the dead sky, to behold as, at the starlit dawn, Lucifer, the morning star, welcomes the Moon and Sun to return The night is passed and I am as the last shadows to dwell underneath the foliage of the mighty Oaks and the boughs of the Elms of old Evanescent, Everfading are my lays and all that I have achieved And how could blind eyes see the grandeur, deaf ears hearken the sound? To such senses does my life ring unto and all the waves I leave behind Wearied I am, with all hope long departed, all zest long gone Where could I go ere I fade? Wither could the starborne paths ever take me that I would find more, to find nothingness, the true existence of All Alike my Goddess, one with pain and sorrow, one with joy and ardour, hands joined in a union of strangers, we walk onwards, yet our horizon is bleak, sundered and bloody Evanescent, Everfading are the autumntide colours that bleed upon us Like a wailing wind the maidens of Fall awaken from their sleep And the night remembers I walked on the shore of the flaming sea and dreamt upon the sands of burning sorrow Soon they are gone, with only show to usher us into the sleep of the eternal Winternight that is yet to come O Winterwind, will you caress me? Your somber songs are like dreams that pass oh so swiftly, dead dreams, the hollow sky I am one with the thousand sagas of the crimson age, I am one with the songs of the whirling, now dying season, I am Evanescent, Everfading.
