As I stand — in the stillness of the night, buried in contemplation, a tombstone looms above my head piercing into an idea, with these horns; to charge directly at vivid imagination. Shrouded in the night’s dead darkness; the only colours that dance around are the deep, dark hues that cling to my black horns – _tainted._ Formless creatures haunting the silhouettes of all dreams their fragmented forms concealing hidden depths and buried truths — echoes of old traumas from the days of youth, a troubled youth, long neglected – _abused._ The more these horns are trimmed, the longer they seem to stretch – spiralling directly into my vision; all I perceive is darkness.

Black horns
As I stand — in the stillness of the night, buried in contemplation, a tombstone looms above my head piercing into an idea, with these horns; to charge directly at vivid imagination. Shrouded in the night’s dead darkness; the only colours that dance around are the deep, dark hues that cling to my black horns – _tainted._ Formless creatures haunting the silhouettes of all dreams their fragmented forms concealing hidden depths and buried truths — echoes of old traumas from the days of youth, a troubled youth, long neglected – _abused._ The more these horns are trimmed, the longer they seem to stretch – spiralling directly into my vision; all I perceive is darkness.
