These Wicked Games

Your eyes were as bright as moon-beams, shining straight into my heart, illuminating the darkened lands. But these faces and eyes that present me now do not hold that same treasure. And while I’ve been told that I am the only one who can save myself from this dangerous spell, it’s seems I dream of elsewhere to release me from such a wicked cycle. But to only enter another cycle, seems to be what my fate consists of, though a cycle of new, a cycle it remains, and nothing more. Perhaps this was never meant to evolve, perhaps this must occur to achieve some strange balance beyond my human comprehension, I may never know, and searching for answers only leads me down deeper and darker hallways, that twist and scream of some terrible memories; memories of those day’s lost within a world which sought nothing but to destroy me.

This game has proven to be dangerous and hostile, and while I managed to escape with you before, without, from what it had seemed, no harm done at all, perhaps you are what the new era will not allow, holding me back, for as long as I cling to your soul. It is a mystery that must be solved, and a war that must be fought.

 

 

The world is on fire
Nobody can save me, but you

The Dimmer Side Of Things

The messages that I receive the moment my eyes close, have not been the same as of late. Though these visions speak to me in a much more sinister tongue, what they speak is the truth, and I have now come to accept it whole-heatedly. In this world, darkness has spread it’s wings across the land, long before the time of the exile. For even though I had my chance to escape this chaotic place, full of pain, frustration, and infinite longing; I had decided to stay, to let the cycle repeat itself one last time, before the dawn could be met.

Now, as the cycle begins to crumble, I notice some things are slow to crumble, while others quickly fall apart, right before my very eyes. Stuck within the dark, trapped in-between a time of old, and a time of new. A vessel has been crafted, a vessel that will lead me to the dawn that my heart has sought to find for so long. But aside from all this, from a room deep inside, something much darker and sinister grows. Something that feasts upon this darkened night sky, and seeks to dim every last remaining star above. It is a dark and violent force, that knows no mercy.

 It must be stopped. For I know it will soon swallow whole whatever stands in-front of it.

 

Intro The New Vessel

Moonlit hours, make perfect for long and mysterious works. Much time has gone by since the exile, as it is now almost an event of the ancient past. However, even something not so recent, has it’s way’s of bestowing darkness on all things of the current. Trapped within these Evenings ever since the birth of the new Advent, I have found myself reflecting and building upon the ultimate pieces of some strange pasts, and near futures, that make up this Vessel that stands tall above me now. These skies have only grown darker, yet the lights in the distance are the safe haven that must be reached, for they will guide me to the entrance of this new morning that will take place. At this exact time and hour, I am compiled of a feeling of such broadness, a feeling that is not empty nor full. A feeling, that I have realized even these tabs had never triggered me to feel in past time. But a compiling of all things that once were, and all things that must be, is soon to come. For this Vessel has been constructed solely based on past experiences and future endeavors. It will evolve, and eventually be destroyed during the time of the new dawn. But what will become of it’s ashes remain unknown to me. With this in mind, the transitions and preparations to make my entrance have now begun. For darker nights have now begun and mysterious places an faces await. 

Entrances & Revisions

After such long and stressful battles, the courage that I have sought to re-gain for several years has finally begun to settle back in. For, once those cold and lonely night took place, I lost most things, most things…without even knowing. An era of scattered feelings, and missing time. Time that had to be found, far within some open lands. Those places had indeed took me back to some locations with answers, but much was still missing, even afters the portals had closed. A man cannot go so far with a lost heart, however, ambition, and motivation has the power to carry one to the greatest heights, but only after obtaining the most essential of tools. Finally, the entrances in which I have been searching for, ever since the exile have begun to open up to me again, however now I am left wondering, if I am ready, to make my entrance inside yet again? For far on the other side, lies a journey, a struggle, a final breath, all of some great desperation beyond my darkest nightmares. But how will this change me? How will this help me? I find even the most hardest time now, more than ever, to find closure, to find peace from within those cold memories, memories of empty platforms, and darkened skies; memories locked doors, and dangerous towers, memories that have come back to life, things that dwell in the dark.

Transitions (2)

It was never change that I had feared to begin with. It was the toll of the cycle in which change contained. The never-ending alternating of worlds, friends, family, and hearts. And the proper word here would not be fear, I would say, it had to have been more of an exhaust than anything else. But despite all of these things, I am not the one who holds power to this cycle. However, from slipping through times waves, and exiting crucial tasks, I have allowed such cycles to become identical, redundant and consistent. But at this time ,these are now coming to an end, and the cycles of old will officially be broken. For you own this era, it has slept within the palm of your hands from the beginning, I was only foolish, not to have known this earlier. The changes that take place now, are the cries and the final breaths of this dimming life. To reach and obtain this dawn has become a task of never-ending pain, sorrow, suffering, and exhaust. I know it is what you would have wanted, so therefore I feel more inclined to grasp it. But this vessel still lay’s in shambles, and while time is limited to fix it all once again, I am determined to re-assemble what was once present, and to have it and all it’s strength carry me through my final moment throughout the darkened nights sky’s. Soon the truth will be found, and so will something else. I never doubted all of this coming, but I did leave it up to the fates, which I swore were on my side, and that was perhaps the biggest mistake I had made.

Intersections

Decent time has passed since the first set out since the exile, and even more time has passed wince the exiles expiration. It seems here, within these strange lands, my sense of direction, and or guidance is much more scarce. Yet much like the gentle winds that blew and guided me within the distant Plains some time ago, the bright and vibrant lights here seek to guide you, yet in so many directions that ultimately the path to take, is made by you, and you truly. At this time, I have come to a brief pause before running towards the next direction, for at this moment, many dilemma’s have plagued be strongly, stirring me into a dangerous cycle that speaks failure and death to me.  The time that has passed since then, from there, until now still move across my mind sharply and brightly, yet in the darkest form possible. For at this moment, I sense what lies near these sections, is nothing more but more struggle and hardship, and though the end of this all may mean a lifeless heart, the adrenaline will kick in before it all ceases.

What is it that keeps you so close to earth? So close to me? After all this time. For all I have from you now is a vesseless soul from distant pasts, long before the Cavern Walls. But even this architecture of odd heights, must hold some answers, to cease the growing of this chaos and confusion. I once oathed,  and when that oath fell, so did time, so did love, so did everything else, and with it came the birth of an exile, yet a new life at the same time, except with the same mind. This is the punishment I have been given, but even a mere oath, should not be taken lightly. It will be difficult to grasp the lights, because for then I must reach, but I won’t let it become impossible, I’ll still do it, and maybe then, once the darkest hours begin to settle in, I can trigger old time, and carry it out into oblivion as it was once destined to happen, long before the Cavern walls.

Buried Turbines

I was never directly told about my end. It had always came in signs, dreams, and visions, that in themselves, were always very poorly put together. The exile has expired, vanished, erased into some darkened wormhole that once manipulated the time that I had traveled through. Thought the exile has now ended, the pieces that had once been fully assembled before the termination, are now scattered, and perhaps shattered. We are in a new Advent now, and though there were very few souls I chose to let go of, yours was one I always swore to hold onto, while knowing how it would bring destruction. But even this soul now, is a vessel in itself, almost useless, un-tapped, and disconnected from the pulsing essence in which it seeks. I knew all along what this would bring, and at this time nothing comes as a shock. Yet the flashbacks still shake me and twist me, reminding me that failures will only result it further re-lapses, triggering misplaced time to rise once again. The darkest hours, are quickly approaching. And while I now stand on some surface of scattered vessels, on the forefront of lands brighter, and condensed, down to the souls very core, I know nothing more significant can guide me to what I must find here, in this place. As time flips, and you all are left ahead, in your dawn, these darkened evenings must now bestow themselves upon me for the many trials in which await me.

 

What new coming are you? For you hide out of my reach, live out of my dreams, and exist in some different world. Perhaps you are much like me, a wanderer, a dreamer, free flowing in some strange large space. Or perhaps you are of some old love, a desire never lost, a desire ever-lasting, you are loneliness, awaiting it’s last breath, yearning to pass on, deep into a new world of wonder, a world of infinite spaces. We hope to find you, soon..

The Timid Release

With the dark void now spinning, rapidly, and absorbing my current strange states at a quick and violent pace, an odd new feeling has begun to wash over me. The feeling and longing of you, seems to have it’s way once again, overtaking certain voids, and filling them with grief a grief with such force, it shall open a window to what I seek. For you, like me, are an insignificant being, compared to the entirety of the cosmos. But you are also a key, you have always been a key, an unfading key, an ever-lasting key, but however, a key that has only been made for a finite number of locks. But this lock, attached to some mysterious window beyond my mortal site, comes with a price, a price to fade and diminish and a rapid pace, yet to gain the power and wisdom any living being could ever dream of, at a rapid pace. However for all of this, I am not yet ready, but more ready than before as this voids swallows hole of these shackles that have kept me bound to some strange darkness for so long. Soon, as fate once told, the heaviness will in fact swallow hole all of what I know, and all that I am. But this cannot happen yet, it shall not happen yet. For brighter lights, and darker corners await in that strange land of odd architect. But now with this crease open, time ticks at an un-settling pace, at a dangerous pace, it is now my goal to keep up, and manipulate it, until once that is in need of completion, is finished.

A Path To Start, A Life to Leave

The time of the end of the old era has awhile since ended. The souls that had in which grasped to me then, are now gone, invisible to me, living out new paths, in a new Advent. Some of these souls, were the ones I trusted, some in which were the ones I hated, to the very core. But whether or not these feelings still burn from within is now irrelevant, for what is not destroying me is nothing more than my own fate, and the darkness that has in which stalked me since the beginning of this journey. Despite knowing this, I still do not fear, for the greater powers still shall not allow to to go. For from this black hole that is now to be birthed, comes a new path that must be carved, a path that has been long since overdue. It was you who had in which trusted me to carry out such a path, but with you now vanished, spun away along with the chaos and debris, it is up to me to grab hold of and walk the trail that has long since been carved, awaiting a new wayfarer to take it’s place. For after this road is taken, there will be no going back. And while cold and empty stations, on hardened concrete platforms will still haunt me and slowly destroy me, I know I must continue this path and finish it, if not for me at least, then for you. Those who have bestowed such poison upon me must now be left behind, once and for all. Much like most deaths, this process will be a slow one, but with time now speeding up once again as my darkest hour of the Evening grows near, I know it will all be over soon.

 

 

The Black Hole

When I let ll of them go, it was at a great will in which I carried out the action. However, it seemed fate played a big role into it all.  For the departure, that took place shortly before the exile, was of some quiet and yet deadly fate, destined to be carried out. It was only after, that I had in fact noticed that I saw the future. I won’t forget that night, sprawled out upon some hard wooden floors, with an air so cold, one would have thought that death itself had crept through the windows. Put perhaps that’s what it was in the end, death. For at that time the 2nd sleep had begun to take place, and now, I seem to curse that it had. For from those wooden floors, and chilled air cause me to see the images in which I prayed I would never see, but in the end, it was inevitable. You warmed me then, covered in a deep blanket of snow, your heart gave me warmth, but that was then. This was before the exile.

For now the darkness is re-occurring, and though my soul yearns for the light, it cannot grasp it without my heart. It seems at this time, there are two fates fighting against each-other. Many battles take place, day by day, week by week. One day one fate wins, the other day one looses, it is a never ending war. My knowledge of all this is merely a spec compared to what the greater ones know, however I oath-ed to become a vessel for the balance, and perhaps that’s how I lost you. But now, with this darker aura beginning to settle in, these times begin to grow darker once again. For now the 3rd sleep has long since concluded and many questions are in need of answers. This darker world I have feared for years, however I hope it to provide the closure I seek, for much has left to be done, before this road ends.
