Oh ‘God’ so many sad souls there are,
Bring them near despite their wish for far.
Oh ‘God’ up on high,
Hold all the sad and weary nigh.
Oh ‘God’, let them know your face,
Though burdened find eternal grace.
Oh ‘God’ show them heavens’ gates.
An infinite life where true happiness awaits!

Short Lamentation
Lamenting the transgressions,
Tears flow of scarlet penance.
Pains’ enduring lessons…
Isolation hence.
Today an Abandonment Prayer
Abandoned here again I pray,
That one day I’ll disappear,
Go to a land far away,
Where I have nothing to fear.
Let me go today!
K. Aldaya, 11/04
Aegre Fero,
My Lord! My Lord!
I’m the mightiest sinner,
Guilt can afford.
Aegre Fero,
My father! My father!
Forgive me my wrongs,
And the darkness blur.
Aegre Fero,
My Master! My Master!
Remember and love me.
The darkness grows vaster!

(Aegre fero: latin for I am sorry)
It comes to me in dead of night when dark dreams flood the mind.
A vision of black in mine eye which sends a shiver through the bones;
A vision to horrify.
It dwells on hill cemetery.
Perched on an old oak tree,
Barely to move; never to fly,
Though screams in stinging undertones a loathsome lullaby.
Staring, though more so, glaring…
Haunting. Watching. Stunning the nerves.
No wish it has to fly,
Do anything more than gaze;
A gaze to damnify.
I know that it doth hate me with a passion few have known;
That’s why it resides on high piercing me with it’s cold stare.
In darkness I lie.
Oh cruel, black bird of night release your ghastly hold.
Oh why? Oh why?
Can’t thou fear anothers’ soul?
Forever night is nigh.

Amid darkness the large oak trees,
Reach out to me in the breeze.
The darkness hovers over my head.
The black clouds continually stomp and tread.
No stars can be seen, nor moon.
I only hope that day come soon.
Lost in black I feel them near,
And hear their screaming in my ear.
The voices that linger in great sadness,
And eternally dwell in darks’ abyss.
I can feel their full heart pain,
And the madness in their brain.
My head is pounding and pounding,
With all the pain resounding.
The dark swallows my last daylight,
And I am lost into the night.
