August 15, 1992
the winter season has come to pass
ice and snow turn all to glass upon the shore
cold waves they are no more to break
the lake a solid bed of rock upon my mortal thoughts ��
step out of the shadow of ice someone once told me
but I ��m frozen into myself
there is I know no truth in beauty
it ��s a deceit as sure as the ice of winter
what I cannot create I still can understand
the winter season is broken on me
in truth I see no beauty within my eyes
the eye of the beholder easily deceived no more
I blind myself to beauty ��s deceit
this behold holds no beauty, for beauty is death ��
beauty alone can rescue none
there is in winter one last escape
comfort to be had beneath the cape of snow and ice
what is left after beauty ��s death
the world encased in ice
the mind is all that is to be free
only the blind can ever see
beauty is naught but misery
only my mind will set me free of myself
I searched for beauty, tried to love it
but death is beautiful as hate and stone warped graves
through beauty �� death only truth is left in searing flame
none are blinder than those who only see ��
beauty and death combine to form a stony visage
only in heart ��s beauty can freedom be set free
beauty in mind a rarity
only mind and heart see true beauty
exterior is nothing
the winter season has come to pass
I am frozen still as glass in me
my only beauty beating heart and mind
all else beautiful is nothing
beauty touches skin only to rot
the truth in winter ��s beauty cold met by mind
beauty is nothing
it does not exit
so beauty is gone
without beauty, the obscured is seen
without acceptance all is lost, accept ��
but judge not illusory beauty alone
or so become the frozen heart ��
winter ��s killing beauty kicking in your door
