The Destroyer

Let's hammer out some solid notes,

lets smash the keys onto the bricks and assemble the leftovers.

Let's have the sound of the beating heart rain down in pebbles

why settle for tears when you can wreck the landscape

hailstorms telling tales of thoughtforms

Lovers running from shelter to shelter, but in between

I will pound the umbrella out of your hand

Let the unnecessary fall and run!

For when I come to call i drown out all other sounds, putting out fires

raining down just as much destruction as a hot blaze.

The steam mixes with the ashes as my Eye looks elsewhere in violent silence

for people - not lovers - still standing, still clinging on

not to hope: to stone

And I am the rock smasher.
