Jul 2016
Followed from light
Into the shadows
Back from enclosure
Into the meadows
Only to find
That fire awaits
A 'light', indeed
But only to burn
The goodness to ash
Destroyer of lands
Disruptor or lives
Eating and feeding
'til nothing's left behind
To think that the shadows
I faced in the past
Were to be my downfall
Changed very fast
As slowly the realisation set in
That the shadows of flames
Were even more dim
Than the total removal
And absence of light
That took me to evil
That took me from right
And buried me 6 feet under -
Breathing, alive
I was rescued and saved then
But not this time
As the flames surround me
And draw in close
Envelop all things
That around me do grow
And move in slowly
Teasing, but wild
And burn just a little
One hair at a time
Destroying that which was once
Going to be mine
But I grew, knowing that
One day they'd come
A darkness more dark
Than dark itself
Possessed me
And ate me
And left me in pieces
Crumbling to ashes
Cinders
Nothing
Soulless
Unbound
Disembodied
Lost
Found­
Lost
Consumed
Evil
Lightened
By darkness
Raised
Lower
Β Β Β Β into the ground
