Black Peacock

Like the weeping willow, I sleep,
In a lion cage from the wild,
Lying in perpetual light, I hate the morning,
I hold a gun trapped inside my head.
The moon is full, a chance for redemption,
Hey, wolf-moon, cast your spell on me,
Every day is Halloween, shall we trick or treat?
I can't go out, my roots are showing
I smell of burning leaves, there's a fresh Autumn breeze.
A crimson pool, so warm and deep,
It lulls me to an endless sleep,
This endless life - this, the end of life?
I awake, frigid statue standing icy - blue and numb,
Cold winter winds, they chill my heart with sleet and snow,
Then comes Spring, the light, it strains my eyes,
The sun is yours, in Summer I lie in bed,
I smell of burning leaves, a dark falling star.
A swollen sun, it melts in the horizon,
The light dies, with this do I live,
Now the Eastern sky, it hints of dawning,
Sleep, now, peacock with the black feathers.
