Taken over by

An eloquence not felt

Except for when my

Shallow self is knelt

Before the world

To answer for my crimes

That dissolve all good

Taken from the earth

To a waiting void

Where death’s soft sign makes berth

And stillness is destroyed

Bringing about

The change this man needs

It heralds my return

To the forgotten dream

I sing of my longing

How it pulls on me

When it’s surfacing

I know nothing else

I am the taken king

Ruler to abyssal palettes

With which to paint a brighter world

In vain – as though these dreary colours

Could become truly beautiful

Taken from the earth

Taken to the void

King upon a throne

None should dare be seated
